Superhero Cinematic Civil War - - - - - - - - - - - Part 51

From what I've seen it doesn't have great ratings, but it's one of ABC's most DVR'ed shows and it performs very well for them internationally.

I think at this point the traditional ratings system is kind of antiquated because AoS has been on the cusp every single season. ABC tried to cancel it at one point but Disney strong-armed them into thinking otherwise.

Good for them.
Another season of that show would be the same to me as another season for one of the CW DC shows right now.

oh lord

Think it’s time to just let it go already, it’s far surpassed the point of sad

 

[LvtLeeTDK]

LOL. I don't know where everybody get the notion that Zack Snyder is a good director.

Meanwhile in the real world, Deadpool 2 is getting great reviews.

Happy to see Deadpool 2 getting mostly love on Rotten Tomatoes. I have a good feeling about that one.

Also if no one here has seen this:

 

[The Endless]

Ffs it has to be the greatest marketing campaign ever.

I am planning on hitting up the double feature on Thur.

 

[Ryuzakirir]

I've seen mostly backhanded compliments for Deadpool 2.

Basically, "well if you like the first film, them you're gonna like this as well."

 

[AlluAllu]

I generally don't like anti-heroes and I don't particularly like Deadpool aa a character. But the first movie gave me some good laughs. I look forward to that again.

Tomorrow 10am for me.

I was never expecting Deadpool 2 to attract people who didn’t already like the first one.

 

[OutOfBoose]

If DP2 won't have heart similar to the first one, nothing else will matter - jokes, gore, action.

 

[Roose Bolton]

I've heard that it's more of a film about family than romance, so whether that counts as "heart" ....

 

[The Endless]

The positive reviews seem to say it's better than the first. That it has an actual story this time now that Deadpool has been established.

The negative reviews are mainly about the humour and how it's gone a bit too overboard with the craziness. Which is fair enough. The character is very polarizing to begin with.

But that all sounds awesome to me. After Infinity War I could do with something like Deadpool.

Origin involving love and revenge don't make much of a story?

I don’t see that as backhanded at all

 

[chamber-music]

I still can't bring myself to finish that show. I saw the first two episodes and couldn't believe what I was seeing.

I think it'd probably qualify as the worst live-action superhero adaption ever made.

Someone thought making Karnak a weed farmer was a good idea

Most of the royals powers got ridiculously downgraded because they couldn't afford to do them on a tv budget.

Inhumans made that bad Fox Generation X pilot from the nineties looks like a Marvel Studios movie.

 

[The Endless]

Origin involving love and revenge don't make much of a story?

Well I think it does. But last time around a few people criticised it for basically being 3 or 4 scenes strung out over the course of a film.

Personally I thought that was a good thing.

I would have been excited for a big budget Inhumans film. They really F’d this up.

From what I’m reading it sounds like I’m getting exactly what I want.

The funniest thing is how people cheer and dance with him, and he's not good with catching all the tunes.

Well I think it does. But last time around a few people criticised it for basically being 3 or 4 scenes strung out over the course of a film.

Personally I thought that was a good thing.

I thought everything was connected properly enough.

Heart in a sense of "emotionally affecting". So if family angle is done well, sure why not.

The reviews I read mentioned that the film had heart (or substitute word).

 

[OutOfBoose]

Looking forward to it. Coherent storytelling too. I hope it has one.
