Does JL coming out 5 years AFTER Avengers

[obredaan]

Lol at these people acting like Avengers is a bad film. They are in the extreme minority. It's one of the most successful comic book movies (critically and financially) for good reason

It's just fanboys being fanboys.

As for Avengers, it's not just one of the most successful comic book movies... it simply is the most successful comic book movie of all-time as of now. Critically acclaimed and the box office results that no other CBM is likely to attain. Studio execs never cared about a 'shared universe' until Avengers. The film changed the entire industry. It will be long remembered just for that alone.

It's also no coincidence that WB brought the man who wrote and directed that film into the fold.

Some folks didn't like it. Citing its reception and all the money it made won't change that. Learn to live with it and move on. I say this as a fan of that film.

indeed. it is loved by all, till today. and it gave such a positive effect to all the marvels movies come after it. they all did great and huge in term of BO, disregard of their qualities. audiences just buy them no matter what.

The Avengers is the rise of the age of superhero movies... and the end of super star movies... all super star movies do not do good now.

Snyder brought Whedon in, regardless of what you would like to believe.

And I also didn't know that you have to like a movie that is sucessful and critically acclaimed. Guess me and my gf are stupid fanboys for being bored to death by Lalaland.

Sorry TDK trumps the avengers success pretty handedly.

And Joss Whedon left Marvel saying he needed a break from big budget movies to join WB...I'd be questioning why he would jump marvel's ship unless he felt creative control was too great from Marvel's side which means even he felt their movies have a lack of depth to really create something special.

okat thats a bit of a stretch. directors leave all that time its not a big deal. it happened with marvel and it has happened with DC.

I Feel like JL can do well based on what Avengers, AOU and CW did. No matter how you feel about any of these movies it shows people like team ups. Look at the fast and furious franchise. As long as the movie is good not even great just good. the people will show up.

Please lets not turn this thread into another flame war. Just dont pass your opinion as fact. Avengers was great or it was garbage. both can be true.

Yeah, we don't want Avengers Vs JL debates here. Avengers was a great movie, let's leave it at that.

The genre fan mind set seems stuck in a binary conception of everything.

What a tremndously disingenuous post.

You're trying to make it sound like Whedon bounced from Marvel citing bogus reasons and quickly signed on with WB to do JL. When in actuality it was almost 2 years between finishing AoU and signing on to Batgirl (and as we later found out, scripting JL reshoots). Does 2 years not qualify as a break in your book?

The specific type of blockbuster Whedon has said he trying to avoid is another giant esemble, which he has been saying since he did Serenity, and Batgirl is no where near that type of project. It was Snyder's extenuating circumstances that brought Whedon in to oversee post-production on JL (not creative control like you would suggest), and I think is pretty f***ing gracious of him to take on the immense level of stress and pressure, which he's expliticly been trying to avoid, just to help a peer out.
