When in reality all the studio needed to cut was him dropping the F bomb and the Seal giving the middle finger and you could've kept the movie as is.
You don't think Superman Returns or HULK would have made a bit more money had they appealed to a wider range of age demographics? Those films catered to niche audience bases (Superman Returns relying on nostalgia from the Donner base, for example), and as a result nobody else turned up for them. That's what I was getting at.
Fair enough. There's no exact science to this. All I'm saying is that I don't think there is any excuse for these characters not to be adapted in such a way that they appeal to universal audiences - adults, children, men, women, seniors, and any number of ethnic groups alike. Frankly, I find it quite distressing that so many fans online seem to advocate alienating kids with these movies. Your mileage may vary on that, in which case I'll agree to disagree.
I have my own theories as to why the Hulk films keep underperforming, though that's a topic for another thread.Ironically, Marvel Studio's The Incredible Hulk was made to appeal a wide demographic (Kids, adults and teens) but the result at Box Office was same.
It made same amount of money. (more of less) and what's more.. both movies have exactly same average RT rating. (6.2/10)
The difference is that BvS is a terrible movie. Call it subjective, numbers don't lie. A Spider-Man movie, in it's second reboot within the past 10 years, surpassed BvS at the box office. Thor's 3rd movie is likely to follow suit. Let's not even get into which one did better with the critics.A glass house? Should I delete those films from my sig just in case someone could ridicule me because of them?
So when someone write things against BvS because he thinks it sucks, it's alright, when someone do the same with MCU, it's not alright. Sure.
Somebody considers Batman and Superman R rated film to be something idiotic. Somebody else considers film critics over-praising mediocre unchallenging films idiotic. Just an example of what different people can find idiotic about this whole situation.
Sure you were buddy
You're adding to my argument by pointing out that a movie called BATMAN v SUPERMAN had multiple superheroes?
Don't feel bad if you misread something, thanks for the laugh anyways

You're a brave soldier calling out MCU films for being over-praised mediocre unchallenging films while having BvS as one of your top CBM's. Good for you though, sticking up for what you believe in.
Numbers don't lie? Quite the contrary. Argumentum ad populum is a fallacious argument that concludes that a proposition is true because many or most people believe it: "If many believe so, it is so."
Critics? Argumentum ad verecundiam, another formal fallacy.
I stick up for what I believe in because I genuinly feel so. I believe BvS is a fantastic movie and I know I'm quite bored by MCU films, mostly by those critics call "phenomenal" and "great fun".
Not to add salt to the wound, but has it been confirmed anywhere that he's no longer affiliated with the DCeU from a directing standpoint? I know he's involved in Aquaman, but as far as JL2 or perhaps MOS2?I've lost already since Snyder is out, but otherwise.
). Hope they know they cannot marvelize their franchise since that's pointless, so maybe they'll finally take more time to properly develop those films instead of rushing them.
