No true adult stays funny in this world.

When did I mention superman in BvS lmao?

is that all you can think about?

is it like an instinctual response anytime someone criticizes something you like?

do you like say this to random people who wear superman t-shirts on the street?

do you even realize when you're doing it?

Nah, I'm gonna be wearing a JL or Superman shirt when I go see JL. I like the character.

Also, you brought both Thor and Superman in the same post, correct? While Superman was being discussed, you brought Thor into the conversation... And now you are reacting weird because I am discussing BvS Superman?

 

[Iceman]

Hahaha. It's easy for me since SR didn't push Superman where he should've been and now MOS, BvS, and JL have done more damage. So, I wouldn't be surprised to see Shazam eclipse Superman in popularity when it comes to these films.

And let's not forget that back in the day Captain Marvel eclipsed Superman in general and DC did things to rectify that situation.

SR definitely didn't do with Supes what I wanted either. I likes him in MoS even though I have some other reservations about that film. We'll have to see what happens in JL. Shazam I guess is not someone I got into to the extent of the other major DC characters. Would really feel like something went wrong in my world if Supes is doing worse than a guy like that. t:

 

[The Endless]

So I've come to the realisation that Thor Ragnarok is actually a 2 hour long live action Adventure Time story... featuring Marvel characters.

It's... perfect.

 

[First Avenger]

Does this change that that happened? That Doctor Strange ended up being the same thing, again.

I'm just saying that things are a bit different now compared to the Wright debacle. Right now it sounds like film-makers get much more trouble at LucasFilm.

I think the CC might still have had their grubby paws on part of the Dr Strange production.

 

[Iceman]

Personally I think this thread is quite biased towards the MCU. It’s why I don’t post in here as much as I used to. I even consider myself an MCU fan and still think the same.

I don't mean to say it's completely neutral, but a hell of a lot more neutral than most other threads on the Hype and elsewhere.

 

[Greens]

I mean, I don't know if I would always call it a bias when favorable opinions are shifted one way. Maybe that company just deserves more praise than the other.

This thread is mostly a refuge for people, who aren't satisfied with the current state of DCFU. In my case it's Fox-biased. Other people like MCU more.

And a refuge for people who use this name, apparently

Yeah it was already in production.

 

[The Endless]

GotG vol 2 And Ragnarok definitely seem a bit more distinctive and looser than many other Marvel movies. For better or worse. They both kinda meander around just soaking in the style and wackiness with less adherence to a structure or formula.

 

[Mjölnir]

Yes, it really looks like Gunn and Waititi got pretty free reigns, not just for the MCU but for big budget films in general.

Speaking of Ragnarok the trolling in those forums took a funny turn. A poster was exposed for copying someone else's review from IMDB and is now trying to go with the explanation that he accidentally wrote the exact same thing as someone else for the second time in his life. t:

We have a winner.

Which poster was this? I have been reading those reviews. At least the spoiler free ones.

Agreed

Yeah for better or worse I think the difference to what came before is pretty clear.

After 17 movies, 9 straight certified fresh movies each which has been financially successful in varying degrees as well as by fans?

I think the MCU has earned it's praise.

Fox, I think has done well for turning things around since their low points of TLS and Origins.

DC? It's funny we have a movie coming out in a couple of weeks which years ago should have trumped any team movie (Avengers, FF, X-Men, etc.). There's something wrong with that.

 

[Timebomb]

Outside of Batman and Superman, the X men were probably my third favorite property and really the only Marvel comics I read. They were my team fix. If I wanted a cool team splash page , I went X Men. Fox has never gone all in and embraced the source material. I want the wacky and the zany. I want the colorful costumes and comic accurate characterizations. To be honest, my hope relies on the Deadpool uinverse right now but we will see. Logan was a fantastic film but it wasn't a great X Men one. I want the absurd Liefield era X Force ( God his art is horrible ) that followed Cable around getting into trouble. But I don't see anything like this on the horizon.
Oops, I originally put New Mutants instead of X Force but that team was basically formed from the New Mutants

 

[OutOfBoose]

Fox is injecting the genre with something refreshing. DCFU tries too, but results are mixed at best. I mean, at least aesthetically DCFU films are much more different than MCU.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

I like saying DCFU

gonna use that from now on

In comics I’m an X-Men fan first above all and they haven’t got the main team right unfortunately after all these years and despite quite a few very good films.

Well, I DID say the same and got attacked... seems the only argument DC fanboys bring is that I am trying to start a flamewar by bringing Marvel when I simply emphasizing on which studio has the upper hand.

EVERY argument and I mean EVERY single one starts with "Don't bring Marvel into this!" because whenever logic and reason is brought, some people back off. DCEU is not allowed to be critisized, it's the best thing ever, the most amazing thing that has been made, etc. etc.

Okay, I figured it was him/her or Ranazza as they were going out of their way to bad mouth the film. Wow. Sad really.
