Fwiw, Grace is the only person I know that says BvS theater cut is much better than the ultimate edition.

What is going on in this world...

The older I get the less everything makes sense. Is there something wrong with me?

Is she for real? I'm one of the people that I really enjoy BvS. But the theatrical cut is not better than the UE. I don't think I will ever watch the theatrical cut again.
 
Social Justice Warrior. It's a pathetic effort by immature, angry white guys to insult folks concerned about piddlin' little problems like racism and sexism. After all, who would want to be lumped in with the likes of Ghandi, MLK, Sojourner Truth and Elie Wiesel?

That's not what it is at all.

SJW is a term that became popularized as a reaction to a growing culture of political correctness and hyper-sensitivy.

I mean, we live in a time in which sincere efforts by celebrities to ban words like "bossy" are taken seriously, and wearing dreadlocks is unironically considered an offensive form of "cultural appropriation".

Our culture has become one in which political commentators get banned from Twitter for harshly reviewing a particular actress's performance in a movie like Ghostbusters, and somehow that same commentator is considered "racist" for doing so...

Our society is one in which thinking a movie looks bad is "sexist" merely because that movie happens to be starring women...

FFS, we live in a culture where white guilt is so pervasive and masochistic that it doesn't matter what the context is, if anyone anywhere for any reason calls you a racist or a bigot, your reputation is irreparably damaged for the rest of your pathetic life.

Terms like political correctness and social justice warrior have become prominent because they are a RESPONSE to a regressive pocket of leftists who have all but COMPLETELY abandoned liberal principles.

I say this as a proud liberal who is starkly concerned for the future of reason.

This is such an embarrassing post.
 
yeah, she has to be doing that for attention

I hope that I like the film, but jeez, I just feel deflated. Ever since its first trailer, I really expected SS to be a hit.

Even though I know there's been a restructuring with Johns assuming the coordinator role, I'm not feeling too excited or optimistic about the future of the DCEU. And I won't until they can manage to turn something out that can get even a tepid critical response.

I really don't like the tone or formula of the Marvel films. And while I've seen a lot of good in MOS and BvS, I'm not blind to their flaws.

Here's hoping there are DCEU films that will be able to get me as excited and as engaged as Nolan's trilogy. But I'm not holding my breath anymore.
 
It may have birthed on those grounds. But it has grown viciously from them into the premier buzzword used by vile racists and sexists everytime they are looked at with disgust.

"Oh, I can't make fun of that brown minority anymore? SJWs! This pc society!"
 
As a first time comic book director why would Ayer even go that route?

Way too ambitious especially since he's a practical effects director.
The comic had the Squad go to hell to fight the Incubus and in the movie it seems that Enchantress and Incubus are trying to bring hell to earth. If Ayer went and directly adapted the comic then it probably would have had more cgi.
 
A guy sent me racist black charactures on twitter after I defended Leslie Jones from a bunch of racist attacks.
 
In hindsight, using the tagline "Worst heroes ever" might not have worked out so well.

Korey Coleman from Double Toasted thought the same but those are the only 2 I know

F*** sake. What the hell is wrong with people? Sorry you had to deal with that kind of bullsh**.

We're the group that really suffers here. I haven't liked a CBM since The Dark Knight. The Marvel movies always feel hollow to me, and the dc movies problems are well documented.

It's a shame that you really haven't liked any CBM since TDK. Because there's some great ones.
