No interest in defending this movie, but this would have been a terrible idea.

"Screw them, I don’t care!“
For those not interested in the rage bait:
quote:
"I mean, Superman is the story of America,” Gunn says. “An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.” I ask if he has considered how differently the film might play in say, blue state New York — aka Metropolis — and Kansas, where Kent grew up? “Yes, it plays differently,” Gunn admits. “But it’s about human kindness and obviously there will be jerks out there who are just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness. But screw them.”
Pretty controversial stuff here. We're used to seeing Superman kill any non-American he comes across.
the actual interview the YouTube idiots are aggregating.

The progressives love "A Better Tomorrow" much better than "The American Way." Ignoring the fact that without the latter, you almost certainly don't get the former.
I don't have a problem with the american way motto. I also acknowledge that the motto has not stayed the same TThroughoutSuperman's history. "The American Way" was an addition. The changes in the 60s and 70s were changes that no one here seems to be mad about. The new change is a callback to the 30s name for Superman. Being okay with a new change doesn't feel (since you're telling me how I feel) like anger.
It feels more like I'm not experiencing the knee-jerk anger that others in this thread have very clearly expressed.

Making babies like they are pets.
Except that ivf requires significant time and financial investments. Anyone choosing it has had to deeply consider what they're doing. There's nothing impulsive or light about it.
Plenty of fathers took about 30 seconds (I'm sure that would be a PR for some OTers) and made the decision for the family to have a new kid. Having 2 parents has never been any guarantee that you have a better childhood or higher quality rearing.

How don't you follow ?
Because you didn't quote what you were responding to, making it unclear.
But yeah, the old superman motto is a product of wwii propaganda for children in the 40s. That's fine. Anyone who thinks his foreign-born patriotism is the core essence of Superman is probably not a very serious adult, and is more likely just trying to signal his virtue online. So he can then complain, of course.
This motto has also changed several times since the 60s. And the better tomorrow is a call back to the earliest superman stories. Ya know, the Man of Tomorrow and all. But it's more fun to clutch clutch clutch.

How are your family and friends feeling about it?
I think this movie looks bad. My friends and family who've mentioned it think it looks good. My father wants to go see it. His interests are usually limited to "chick and a gun" DVD cases. He sees as decent amount and is usually disappointed. He expressed no concerns ahead of this, though I'm sure that disappointment is still a likely outcome. All my normie friends who have mentioned it are excited. My comic book friends are giddy about the Morrison All-Star connections.
Anecdotal has no value whatsoever.

How did game sales of TLOU Part 2 compare with Part 1?
Oooo, this is a fun attempted gotcha.
Tlou 1 sold 8 million copies on the ps3. Google ai will tell you 30 million, because it's counting the re-release on ps4 ahead of part 2, the remake on ps5, and the numbers sold during the first season of the show. Obviously those numbers count, but that 30 is pretty misrepresentative of the initial popularity.
Google ai will tell you tlou 2 sold 10 million, which it did, when it was released. So it initially sold better than the original. In the past 8 years. Witha remastered on ps5, it has sold several million more. Reportedly sold 2 million units during season 2 of the show.
Tldr: the argument you guys are trying to have is fukking stupid. And none of you have the ability to actually search up wtf you're talking about.
The game sales of either game have dick all to do with the viewership numbers or the show.

Definitely not the greatest movie of the century. Might not even be bong’s best
I think it's maybe his third best, but it was the best films of 2019 by a bullet, and I understand why it's most people's favorite. Edge of your seat thriller that is both crowd pleasing and complicated. Satisfying but not happy ending. Multiple incredible performances. Some of the best production design-direction-editing you could ever ask for. Big ideas and a thenatic point of view that is made very clear without coming across as preaching.

Also, she does appease horns idiots like him. She just does it when she thinks the role is otherwise interesting and is coming from a filmmaker she respects and wants to work with. He's mad that she'd dare say she doesn't have to take every bs role that comes her way.
SEK actively wants to distort the context and actual words of the interview because he wants something to bitch about. He hasn't been able to get the engagement he craves from his Ironheart tirades (except from Madking, of course).

Nah, it did fine
To my point about its eligibility for a remake, how bout this?
The 30th most successful film of a year with a very mixed critical and audience reception, but with a cult of fans who will defend its initial success even though it needed decades of licensing and home video sales to be considered modestly profitable, is probably an acceptable candidate for an almost-40-years-later remake.

Isn't this a filmmaker problem that wouldn't necessarily be fixed by making the films rated R?

Mandeville is probably the wealthist city per capita in the whole damn state. But the Pork money they want for a pickle ball court couldn't be better spent elsewhere...
Well, according to your post, the pickleball court was for Denham Springs, which, let me check my Google Maps real quick, yep, is neither Mandeville nor the wealthiest area of the state...
So, yeah, there's no legitimate or acceptible reason those representatives would want to increase the quality of a school or public recreation area. Everyone in Louisiana reads fine and is crazy fit.

true reboot of Jurassic World needed to be R and scarier. But no one takes chances anymore, because Hollywood is dying and very few can make good movies anymore.
Why R?
The franchise is built on the Spielbergian sense of wonder and children in peril, and those things do better in a package that is accessible to adolescents.
Would JP be better as a full-gore monster horror? That's hard to imagine.

The first season was popular because it portrayed the first game which is a masterpiece. Season 1 was good minus the broke back zombie apocalypse episode that wasn’t even in the game. Viewership for season 2 plummeted from my understanding
Maybe it followed the game, but season 1 had at least 3 dud episodes, the second one and the last two. When season 1 ended, I didn't want to continue to season 2 based on how stupid I thought the finale was. I changed my mind, and i thought season 2 had a couple good episodes, and a handful of mediocre-to-bad ones. None of the quality issues i had had to due with gameplay, because Ive never played the games. Following the game doesn't equal quality storytelling, as narratives in games do not, and should not, translate directly to longform television narratives.
The live viewership dropped. The hours viewed on Max went up. Nielsen is calling it an 18% overall drop viewership. Some of those viewers probably went away due to a lack of fidelity to the games; most people watching this show have never played the games.
