APO Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Gotta be completely honest, all I really care about is JL hopefully being good and getting an actual MoS sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Maybe he should shut the hell up and finally get Avatar 2 off the ground. Or better yet scrap Avatar and make a Terminator film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I find it hilarious that there is going to be an 11 year wait between 1 and 2 (if it actually hits its date) but a one year gap between 2 and 3. They didn't strike while the iron was even lukewarm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Also, he's actually allegedly shooting 4 sequels at once, not three. Avatar 5 in 2025! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 "I think their portrayal of a woman as an action lead is backwards because it's not how I, as a man, would have done it." Like...not that Sarah Connor is a bad lead or anything, but the idea that the only model for a badass woman is by leaning hard masculine in traits is...a problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 For anyone who thought digital release would end the theatrical run, think again. Wonder Woman just passed Civil War domestic and is expected to pass Iron Man 3 tomorrow. This will make it the fifth highest grossing domestic superhero film behind the Avengers movies and the last two Nolan Batman films. Worldwide is another story but this just keeps being ridiculously impressive. It's been out on digital for like a week and is still pulling nearly a half million a day theatrically. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Wonder Woman will end up being the high point of the DCEU after Whedon shits the bed with some terrible JL rewrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Are you assuming JL isn't going to be terrible regardless? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Allegedly, the version they screened before the reshoots/rewrites was deemed "unwatchable" by the executives. On the other hand, these are the executives that were reportedly blindsided by both the critical drubbing BvS took and the critical and commercial success of Wonder Woman, so who the fuck knows? I know that personally I'll take all four movies Whedon has directed over anything Snyder has made (altogether I actually like most of his pre-DCEU work) but that's definitely a statement to take with a grain of salt.

Niners Fan in CT Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Avengers was good. Age of Ultron was horrible. If this is anything like Age of Ultron I'll deem it "unwatchable" too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unholy Dragon Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I prefer AoU to Avengers tbh. The team feels more like superheroes and less like a paramilitary force. Also as cool as the teamwork fireworks show is in Avengers, there's zero drama that anyone is gonna bite it from a guy who Thor beat alone and some grunts so the suspense isn't there. At least the Ultron drones are an extension of him and the race the clock angle is in play. But honestly this has more to do with me having soured on Avengers hard than loving AoU.

The Unholy Dragon Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Been reading the Justice League Mortal script and I've got three big takeaways: 1) It would have been a blast. Kind of a mess, but a blast. 2) The Flash would have stolen the film. 3) The people who were pissed at Batman's indirect murder in BVS would have HATED Wonder Woman sparing Max only for Batman to snap his neck cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I listened to an interview with Adam Brody about Justice League Mortal years after the production fell apart and he was still disappointed that he didn't get to play Barry. He seemed to really love the screenplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 When I saw Suicide Squad, one of my takeaways was "Man, remember when Common was gonna be John Stewart and not some goon in a strip club who the Joker plays mind games with?"

Which is to say we would have had Wally Flash at the end and in a sequel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 So the 2 rumored front runners to play Shazam (the adult version at least) are supposedly either Joshua Sasse (the guy from ABC's "Galavant") or John Cena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
