Why did this work so well when all odds were against it?

>>95234923
It didn't, most people didn't like his Ares.

>>95234945
Says you?

>>95234948
For me most of the movie was pretty good. Because I expected so much worse.

I thought Ares was going to be so cliche and basic fucking war loving hate monger.

>>95234983
Oh okay. Not sure why you said "most people" when you're only talking about your personal opinion.

>>95234991
Sorry dude not that guy and didn't mean to address that specifically, it was a general response to OP.

>>95234923
>somebody else who like it
Ma nigga

>>95234923
no snyder

>>95234923
It didn't, discount Lucifer was the shittiest capeshit villain in a while.

>>95235497
you have shit taste, anon

>>95235499
>bad acting
>bad cg
>bad fight
>bland design
>more of misplaced christian imagery
>that fucking Ned Flanders stache
Yeah, right, it's just my shit taste.

>>95235524
I thought you were talking about GotG2's Ego until you said Flanders stache.

that flashback kinda ruined his image.

but i liked the twist.

>>95235524
>bad acting
objectively incorrect
>bad cg
kinda yeah
>bad fight
wrong
>christian imagery
what
>that fucking Ned Flanders stache
That's what made it cool. Some corny nigga in a suit being the god of war? Better villain than anything the MCU has shat out.

>>95235529
>b-but Mahvel
Hilarious. Also, Ego was at least well played, and there was no christian imagery.

>>95235576
Why the fuck are you rambling on about christian imagery, let alone getting triggered by it?

>>95235557
See, I was with you - this nebbishy loser-looking guy is the god of war? That's a genuinely cool twist, and shows how malice and hate can look just like your average Joe really well.

But then he had the exact same look in the Ancient Greece flashbacks. Big, oily, musclebound dude with that fucking mustache.
In Ancient Greece, where that type of mustache didn't even fucking exist.

At that moment my original thought (Ares molds himself to fit his surroundings, the face of war changes with the passage of time) was proven wrong, and he's just an ugly, weird looking dude for no reason. Pulled me right out of the movie.

I don't have a representative sample size, but I've talked to a bunch of other people who have seen the movie and every single one of them agreed it was a bizarre choice and it was hard to take Ned Flares seriously after that.

>>95235557
>Better villain than anything the MCU has shat out.
Why are DCfriends always so quick to start shitting on MCU as a means of directing the conversation away from the flaws of DCEU movies?
>>95235557
>bad fight
>wrong
Now this is objectively incorrect. That whole sequence was a bore.
>That's what made it cool
I wouldn't mind as much if it went away when he transformed, but no, it's the same wimpy looking face stuck in a bad cg armor suit. It's impssible to take him seriously at that point.
>>95235597
As for imagery, you don't have to be triggered by something to realize it is misplaced.

>>95235644
Wait... you think Mustache Man is the actual original, physical manifestation of the Ares?

Christ not even my 11 year old cousin is that dumb.

>>95235680
I mean, this is capeshit we're talking about. Probably the biggest thing DC does right that MCUdon't is villains.

And let's not act like villains don't make the capeshit. Villains are arguably more important in capeshit than comics since they're much more relied on the drive a plot in 90 minutes than over 9 months of comic issues.

>>95235744
That's how the movie portrayed it, dumbass. Everything else is you reading stuff into it that wasn't there.
there was a flashback scene set in ancient times, everyone was wearing period-appropriate (ish) clothing, and he looked exactly the same.

There's no proof this isn't what he looked like. There's no proof he can shapeshift. There's no proof Olympians aren't physical gods.

Your 11-year-old cousin might not be dumb, but you are.

>>95235497
He was fucking great.
I may be biased by my pride in calling it so far in advance though.

>>95235762
Holy shit you're mad. No need to be angry that you're such a brainlet.

>>95234991
I mean I agree with him mostly. It's not flaming dogshit which means it's a cut above the rest of the DCEU

>>95235770
>no arguments
>respond to genuine criticism with /tv/ insults
>respond to further posts with "lol u mad"
I see you're a manchild from /tv/.

>>95235786
Agree with that? He said most people hated Ares. Are you most people?

ftfy

>tfw will never forgive Feige for ruining Zemo

>>95235808
I liked Zemo, just not as Zemo. I thought he was an interesting character, but a poor adaptation.

He needed more of a relationship with Cap himself, connection to nobility, and vaguely fascist attitudes.

>>95235822
He was boring and his relationship with Cap/Tony was laughably shoehorned.

>>95234923
The revelation was okay. But ares and his bitches were one of the weakest parts of the film
>Hey diana, killed your daddy and mentor join me,kay?
And then 10mintues of pure action. A shame Poison interacted with diana like once too.

>>95235644
Yes
That was cringe

They should have at least stuck a beard on him or gotten Sean Bean to play him, for the flashback and final fight

Lupin and Bean's drastically different accents switching back and forth could have been great

That was the weakest part of the film, though. It was like a speed-bump after everything cool up to that point.

>>95236336
like what?

I watched this movie twice in the cinemas (both for free), and in both situations the vast majority of the threatre laughed at his face and called him Asterix when he was show with the armor but keeping the face.

Among the people I met who watched the movie general consensus is that he looked silly and wasn't intimidating.

>>95235529
>GotG2
>Christian imagery
wut?

>>95236396
You..... you aren't serious, are you?

Like, you're joking right now, right?

>>95235744
Unless there's a director's cut hidden somewhere the theatrical version showed Ares as the same dude during ancient times, so yeah, that's the original physical manifestation of Ares.

Go to an optometrics I guess.

>>95236423
so you are retarded

>>95236429
>If I spam ur retawded enough that will disproof the fact that I'm wrong

>>95236446
Come back with an argument, kid.

>>95235644
you are an expert on ancient greek facial hair? how fucking autistic can one person be?

>>95236459
I already did, you only reply with non arguments like ur retawded.

Rewatch the movie or go to an optometris, I can't really tell you more as the movie itself shows you the original Ares and you still refuse it.

And this is the last time I indulge you.

>>95236478
Fuck off reddit spacer.

>>95234923
It didn't.
It ONLY worked when he was in a non-combat scenario, as soon as the big reveal happened and the retarded WOW raid endboss fight scene started it all went to shit.

If you think otherwise you're a brainlet unfil to live, and you deserve to be chopped up and eaten to sustain the rest of this board, all composed of people that are clearly smarter than you and need your proteins to sustain their superior intellect while you're wasting yours.

The fight was bad but the actor was fine.

>>95237140
MCU.txt

>>95237140
If the actor isn't fit for a fight scene THEN YOU DON'T MAKE HIM HAVE A FIGHT SCENE.
There's actors that work in a fight scenario, and actors that only work in a scenario where they're talking to other people.

This Ares was supposed to be more subtle and use other methods aside violence, but they cave in and gave the audience their big, dumb fight in the end because they thought that the target audience was too fucking stupid to digest anything else.
And they were right, between braindead DC fanboys and SJWs that crowned this shit as the new feminist wet dream in superhero movie form, nobody was ready to actually get a good, fleshed out movie that would take the time to explore all the characters.
Every single character was horribly two dimensional, the fights scenes were hamfisted and unnecessary, and there were blatant plot holes pretty much everywhere, never to be addressed again.

It's a movie entirely made for people that have no experience with good movies whatsoever, it's completely half assed from start to finish, literally the only objective positive trait about it is that it wasn't 100% utter dogshit like recent DC productions, and that's not really something that should be celebrated.

>>95237195
His acting during the fight scene wasn't the problem. It was just poorly choreographed and the dialogue was weird. No one could have done better with that.

>>95236476
but that is what hapened you see the ancient greece flashback and he still looks like a british gentelman on an armor. they didn´t even try to shave to mustache to make him look younger or add a beard to make it more era apropiate.

>>95236476
>>95237327
He looked absolutely fucking ridiculous.
Laughable.
One really has to be the most deluded fanboy on the face of this planet to think otherwise.

>>95235757
>Probably the biggest thing DC does right that MCUdon't is villains.

Zod and Ares are the only decent ones. Luthor, Joker and Enchantress were awful.

>>95237592
>go from one of the best villains in film history to one of the worst
He's almost bad enough to drag the rest down.

I liked when he was being ghost Ares. It was just so damn funny to see that mustache through the helmet. I couldn't take him seriously anymore.
They shouldn't have bothered with the armour if they really wanted his face to be seen

>>95236476
>expert
>because he knows they didn't wear little snazzy mustaches in ancient Greece
Have you never visited a museum in your life, Anon?

>>95237592
I"m still so fucking mad that for the first live-action DC cinematic universe, we got the shittiest Lex Luthor and Joker. What the fuck were they thinking?

Also, Faora was bae.
