This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]513433[/split]
No film is going to follow BvS's lead, it's seen as a bad film. It's a cautionary tale. Deadpool will change things.Even if WB tries to change things after JL, I think BvS changed a lot of things in how people look at CBMs whether they know it or not.
I'm optimistic that CBMs will try to be more creative and mature, and less straight forward and comedic.
Although a bit risky, I just want studios to treat their audience as grown ups. They might find it weird and unfamiliar at first, but with time they will pick it up.
A creative failure sure, a failure in the sense that it will hurt Justice League, sure but I will not call it a box office failure. I only call films box office failures when they lose the studio money.

Oh, they don't want to make 150M instead of 300M, but that's not all the story with BvS. In regards to CBMs filmmaking, Snyder/Terrio _and hopefully Ayer_ raised the bar, people will recognize this now or after sometime (probably with JL), and a good filmmaker will try to up his game.No film is going to follow BvS's lead, it's seen as a bad film.

I don't know how to respond to your post without being vaguely insulting.Oh, they don't want to make 150M instead of 300M, but that's not all the story with BvS.

It's OK to like straight forward happy colorful stuff, I like that too.But there are too many in the audience who doesn't want to be grown up. Did you check the number for Jurassic World and Fast+Furious (whichever one?) lately?![]()
...It's OK to like straight forward happy colorful stuff, I like that too.
But there's too much of that in CBMs, not to mention all the blockbusters from Disney and other studioa, it's nice to see them go for more artistic and deep takes for these huge films.
The problem is that CBM market is very profitable, and studios have huge expectations. Even if they got a hundred million in profits they might not be satisfied.
That's why I like BvS, it's like an independent film with a popcorn film budget. I have to applaud WB for taking the risk.
And although they didn't get the intended profits, they still made a lot. And by JL we will be in a different era.

I'm just not going to say anything right now.

Oh god please no. Deadpool was a good one-shot movie. I don't want all CBMs to be like that....No film is going to follow BvS's lead, it's seen as a bad film. It's a cautionary tale. Deadpool will change things.

An indie CBM on steroid will never work successfully and thrives in environment that foster "dumb" audience. In all my years of going to the cinema --the audience for blockbuster films were mostly the same. Better to do low budget for this kind of "indie" stuffs and if going to be too much, R rated.It's OK to like straight forward happy colorful stuff, I like that too.

I actually respect your positivity.I'm sorry you feel that way.
Has anyone read Max Landis's American Alien?
It would have been an interesting way to start off the DCEU if they used his ideas of following young Clark, Bruce, Oliver, and Lex as they enter the world stage.
He's a writer WB should be looking into for the DCEU. Guys like Geoff Johns and Max Landis should be spearheading the story and character decisions.
