Buzzfeed Polls General Audience On The DCEU

[MydnightPhoenix]

I'm still a little baffled as to why this version of Wonder Woman is being so well received, but I'm glad that she is.

Because she's all kinds of magnificent

 

[Lantern Venom]

I think it's because Diana was portrayed as a hopeful, optimistic, likable hero as opposed to the mopey superman or the psychotic batman, also the public found a well made female superhero movie a breath of fresh air.

In BvS, she was the antithesis of that: reluctant, self-absorbed, and judgmental.

Probably because Wonder Woman is the best comic book movie since The Dark Knight. Other than that, no particular reason.

I'm glad that you liked it, but the film doesn't deserve to be in the same breath as The Avengers. It's not even close...it's not even close to being close.

Because she's all kinds of magnificent

She's not magnificent yet, just vastly improved from her trainwreck characterization in BvS to a serviceable character in WW.

No body cares about her extended cameo in a crappy movie, in her own movie she was likable, brave hero and that's because the film was directed by someone who actually likes the concept of superheroes unlike a 99cent version of Michael bay like Zack Snyder who is too highbrow for said concept.

 

[Erzengel]

Probably because Wonder Woman is the best DC comic book movie since The Dark Knight. Other than that, no particular reason.

Fixed.

Spot on. She radiated the "hero" aspect of Superhero.

 

[The Joker]

I'm still a little baffled as to why this version of Wonder Woman is being so well received, but I'm glad that she is.

Because it's the first decent DCEU movie, so it feels like Christmas finally having a good movie from them. So much so that the movie gets over praised.

Yes, because Wonder Woman is a much better movie. Captain America:Winter Soldier was also better than The Avengers for that matter.

Fixed.

Nothing to fix. The statement stands as it is.
"Probably because Wonder Woman is the best comic book movie since The Dark Knight. Other than that, no particular reason. "

 

[Samurai_Adam]

Wonder Woman is definitely the superior film. Also, I agree on Winter Soldier being better than Avengers.

 

[Lantern Venom]

I still don't understand why Wonder Woman gets a free pass why Batman and Superman get surgically dissected. Superman gets heat for not smiling enough, but Woman Woman can shun humanity for decades with no criticism. Batman gets heat for roughing up Superman, but Wonder Woman did nothing to intervene in their conflict and she took her sweet time to knuckle up to Doomsday. So why is she so inspiring but Bats and Supes are too dark?

 

[Kreem Pi]

Your false equivalencies are downright comical.

 

[Lantern Venom]

Your false equivalencies are downright comical.

Batman kills a bunch of thugs because he's outnumbered. Superman kills Zod to save innocents. Wonder Woman snaps after Steve's death and kills several soldiers. The first two were bemoaned. Wondy got a free pass.

I know a double standard when I see it.

 

[Kreem Pi]

My sides..... My gut...... Hahahahaha

 

[The Batman]

Lantern Venom dislikes or likes certain versions of certain superheroes based on whether or not they're faithful to the source material, yet doesn't understand why Superman and Batman, two characters often portrayed as having a no kill rule in the comics, get scrutinized for killing in the films while Wonder Woman, who never really had a no kill rule in the comics, gets a free pass when she kills in the movies.

Interesting.

 

[Kreem Pi]

What do you mean bats? You don't hate Superman because he isn't a womanizer like James Bond? You don't hate Captain America because he isn't a vengeful murderer like the Punisher?

Shocking.

Supes and Bats have always killed foes when they're out of options. For that matter, Supes tried to kill Hank Henshaw for besmirching his name, so that's hardly out of character in MOS. Yet I'm still baffled that the most warlike of the three heroes is somehow seen as the bastion of optimism over the other two.

Because she was presented as a charming and warm individual that wanted to help civilians, while Batman was presented as an angry man with murderous intent.

According to the movie's dialogue, she has washed her hands of helping civilians for a long time. Plus, she didn't exactly race into the Doomsday battle--she had to think it over.

Also, Bruce Wayne rushed into a disaster site to help people when we saw the MOS flashback during BvS. Where was Wonder Woman when Zod was using the planet for a pincushion?

If you're referring to her characterization in BVS, then I don't particularly care for it. Snyder's version of these characters is not what I'm focusing on.

 

[StormC]

When people here say they like Wonder Woman, they mean within her movie, not Snyder's Randian nightmare of a crossover movie.

 

[The_Manhunter]

That's your own personal hang up. That's why you're always involved in these opinion type arguments. Unless someone says what they're saying is fact, then they are only speaking on their own behalf.

Like now, you are speaking on your own behalf, but you're acting like what you're saying is a fact.



There's nothing sad about belittling movies that made a balls up of characters you love. I mean you of all people should get that, especially given you're all about the right to voice your opinions, no matter how harsh, given how you support threads that make personal attacks on members of this forum. Far harsher, not to mention inappropriate than criticizing a movie. If this was a thread with a poll showing stats that praise the DCEU there wouldn't be a peep out of any of the ones (all DCEU fans) who are complaining about this thread.

The only people who have issue with it are the ones who are fans of it. They can't stand seeing something they like get criticized constantly.

No, he gets involved because you always state your opinion as fact. That would understandably drive anyone nuts.

Yup

What's worse is with Superman he's killed many times before for the greater good in the comics. Also him killing Zod was right out of the comics too. Yet people whinge about it, yet he saved the entire world as a result.

She was exactly the same character in BvS as she is in Wonder Woman. You either like the DCEU Wondy or you don't. Also, Zack played a big role in the creation of both stories. She is the same character.

That's like saying "I like Sorcerer's Stone Harry better than Deathly Hallows Harry." It doesn't make sense. They are the same character. You like him or you don't.

Bull. Show proof of where I state my opinion as a fact.
