re: Justice League News

"You know how i know you don't know the character?

Bucky typically, in the comics, is both a hot head and arrogant"

Well, we're talking about the movie version.

"They've made this clear in the films. Getting angry enough to keep pumping rounds into a shield is par for the course, he knows he can get himself out of a jam. "

They have? Watched the movie numerous times and don't recall that point ever being made. If so, I'll concede that. However, that just supports my other point about how bad TWS is as a villain. Not only does he cause Cap to betray his core values but he's not really even much of a threat.

"Hey guys, when the dude with the metal arm and greasy hair attacks here's what we do: just talk trash to him like a playground hoops player. He's got such poor self-discipline and marksmanship skills that he'll just pump entire magazines of ammo at whatever cover you're behind. Then when he does a reload he'll be standing slap in the middle of the street. Someone just shoot him in the head."

Aaaaaaaaaaaand FIN

Cut to post-credit scene with RDJ dropping witty bon mots

1. At minimum can we all agree that Jesse Eisenberg was the worst casting choice of this generation's super hero movies?

Agreed on the male side. If we can have it entered into the official record the Maggie Gyllenhall was the worst female casting.

What because she's not hot?

Honestly the very same movie makes a worse casting decision, and it's Amy Adams as Lois Lane. Aside from being a journalist, I don't see anything in common that she has in common with Lois Lane. A spunky Jennifer Lawrence type would have been better.

Just out of curiosity, was there is anything you disliked or thought was incorrect in TWS? Anything you felt should have been done differently?

I usually appreciate your comments on this board, so I'm not asking this in out of negativity. I'm just curious.

Not enough Crossbones and really not enough development of the character. Crossbones is a lot of fun when used correctly as the complete antithesis of Cap
Cap and Widow batner was uneven, sometimes fun, sometimes cheesy. Trying a little too hard a lot.
Pierce and Geopolitics. More.
Too many one liners
Make Peggy's impact better - More time spent with her
Better Special Effects - Some of the Cap Mocap was bad
The Zola exposition scene - There's always a better way to get that much exposition out. I really dislike that whole sequence.

The action sequences and overall arc were solid, but it could have been both a bit more personal - More Crossbones, better banter, more Peggy - and more intense with better Pierce sequences and better description of the Hydra uprising.

I think getting Falcon in there was nice, he's a great addition to the MCU and Mackie is fantastic in the role, but it forced them into some spots where it took focus off of core ideas. I'd flirt with the idea of removing him and giving screen time to others. But at the same time...ugh. Maybe add 10-15 minutes decrease Falcon's role a little and work on the rest of the stuff.

It's not the DCEU fanboys doing this- it's MCU fanboys or the DC fans that profess to love the comics so much

So...the only group that ought to like this shite are fans of the DC movie universe only? Well...good call there, I guess. I can see why Marvel fans might not like them, and at least you seem to have enough sense to grasp that fans of the DC properties can also look at this horseshite and not like it...so progress! Of course, if WB/DC's goal is only to appeal to 1/3 of that potential audience, things will never get any better.

‘Wonder Woman’ Becomes Top Earning Summer Movie at the Domestic Box Office


Have a great time living in last year. I didn't say you don't still have the right to bitch about BvS- just that I feel it's infantile and pathetic. That's all.
You have the right to post ad nauseum about your hate of it, just as I have the right to be tired of it.

Not, as they say, A Zach Snyder Joint. I liked WW. It suffered at the end from the Snyderization of the final fight scene which took place at night with all kinds of shite flying around. But the rest of it was really good. No Man's Land was one of the most heroic scenes in all of these movies if you ask me.

And you can release yourself from that by simply not taking part in discussions you are tired of. It's super easy. for instance...I'm almost certain I've never even clicked the fricking link to the Fantasy Sports board. Or...I could prance into there and start talking to them about how's it's fricking pathetic that grown arse men are playing "fantasy" sports.

I think I'll just stay here.
