I'm Not Messing Around, I'm Doing Important Stuff in The Superhero Cinematic Civil War Thread - Part 61

He did the black suit better than Cavill.

Like that's hard.

 

[Sithborg]

I mean, the only reason why Cavil's black suit isn't the worst, is because Smallville exists.

 

[Ninjablade]

Like my hopes and dreams for MCU X-Men.

Well, it's a good thing Marvel likes letting go of the past, and you don't have to worry about the FoX-Men becoming their X-Men if Doomsday and Secret Wars break box office records

I was today years old when I found out Smallville had the black suit.

Their Doomsday was ugly.

Hush.

And I sincerely hope those heartless so and sos aren’t hooking 80something Ian McKellen to harnesses for these damn Avengers movies.

 

[Ninjablade]

They ain't even put a real costume on Spider-Man, you think the Russos are going to do wire work?

How did you miss this cultural moment?

They didn't even put a real ass on Spider-Man.

I feel like that's the reason Snyderman won't be the absolute worst.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

How did you miss this cultural moment?

I vaaaaaguely recall this.

But hell, by this point in time ALL the live action heroes had black leather and no codenames.

 

[Gothamsknight]

Smallville ended for me with season 7 honestly.

 

[Babillygunn]

What if I told you Superman: Doomsday doesn’t get heralded enough?

It’s right up there with 1978. Anne Heche was a great Lois.

I’d tell you that Death of Superman is my favorite Superman film to date. The script was written by Peter Tomasi who is a top-3 writer of Superman comics.

 

[Babillygunn]

Batman and the soul of what now?

Batman in a 1970’s style kung fu film where he gets upstaged by basically every other character, but mostly by an appropriately race-swapped Richard Dragon that is a not-so-subtle homage to Bruce Lee.

I love that movie.

But you miss Shadowseid and Granny Goodness.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Wait, do you think a blockbuster automatically means a film built simply for broader audience appeal? Because the first 3 Indys were two friends shooting the ****, making what they love and working out their problems with women. Hugo was again a movie that Scorsese totally wanted to make and had no audience. Hence it's box office problems.

Just being a project you want to make doesn't mean you're not trying to make something that appeals to a broad audience. Indiana Jones was an attempt at both. Lucas pitched it to Speilberg when he told him he wanted to make a Bond movie. The like....broadest appeal franchise ever. Also, Nolan was also making a Batman movie. Not some indie art house flick. He took the audience into account 10000000000%.

This is my last post on this topic, and you can look at it however you want. But I disagree with your thesis and I leave it at that. Like I said earlier, we will just have to agree to disagree

Granny Goodness? Of Zack Snyder's Justice League fame?

Surprised he didn't CGI her head on a bodybuilder's body.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Granny Goodness and Amanda Waller were both cooler when they were bigger.

Octavia Spencer was my backup Waller if they needed to recast.

Again, Magneto/Rogue really killed my mood before this scene.

 

[Venom 1988]

A few days late from all the music video talk but I randomly came across this video on YouTube. No idea who the band but it feels like they were obsessed with movie tie-in videos lol.

 

[Lily Adler]

I'm hoping the rumors that Gunn toned down his adult humor for Superman is true.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I assumed he would.

Instead of being a CIA agent, Jimmy Olsen moonlights as a male stripper.

I assumed he would.

Scooby-Doo says hi.
