Who here thought Black Sails was a decent attempt at depicting piracy and european colonization of the new world?
Much the same way as Deadwood stripped away all the hollywood cliches from the western genre, I think Black Sails stripped away the hollywood cliches from the swashbuckling genre.
Pros:
-Acting was mostly good, sometimes very good
-They spent a lot on costuming and sets to make them as authentic as possible on a tv budget.
-The pushed political realism as far as they could go with a general audience who doesnt know the first thing about the history of that time
Cons:
-The dialog got soap opera-ish, the overall script felt like a rush job and was not well thought out
-3D graphics of ship models was poor, Ive seen better ship models in video games
-The sea tactics were lacking for anyone who is familiar with it, they could have had more nautical realism

It's watchable trash. I like it but no, it's still very fucking Hollywood and filled with pirate cliches, I have no idea how you could come to that conclusion if you've actually read anything about the history of piracy.
The real history of the Golden Age of Pirates would make for a great mini series or 3 season show, I don't understand why they feel the need to play fast and loose with it and put all of the Treasure Island characters in there

Why didn’t they take the 3 hours plus of Extended Cut footage, split it into 2 movies “Batman Vs Superman” AND “Dawn Of Justice”? Flesh out the former with Jared Leto’s Joker and the latter exploring more of Wonder Woman’s role…

There's so many great works it really just depends what you're in the mood for.
I thought Scientology was brilliant, but it's divisive. The "recreation" bits w/ the actors wasnt a cop out, but allowed the film to become something meta and really interesting in that way.

he's an insecure manlet that feels better about himself when he bullies even smaller manlets than him.
As for the insecurity. I don't know where that came from. Tom Cruise is a very stable man and he's 5'6. Maybe Shia lost it after Indiana Jones flopped?

I'm not sure the DCEU version can fly so much as jump really far, but she has been able to fly for a long ass time in the comics.
And yeah she's superstrong, she blocked Doomsday's punches with a sword strike

She flies in the Justice League cartoon. She leaps in BvS last I recall.

Real talk the purge premise is retarded.
>Muh emergency services suspended
Why that wouldn't work in one word: Arson.
Like an hour into the purge every city would be on fire.
The movies would have been a lot more frightening if emergency services instead took part in the purge. Police are game wardens enforcing the purge. EMTs patrol the streets looking for wounded to torture. Firemen keep an eye out for arsonists while also killing people.
