The Naked Fun in The Superhero Cinematic Civil War Thread - Part 61

I liked Birds of Prey better than SS does that count

Look we can blame Margot for making Gotham City Sirens into Birds of Prey without Barbara. Seriously would have been cool to introduce Batgirl (no not counting Cassie!)

Looks like Joker 2 will only make about $400 million total. Has any other studio had sequels to billon dollar films in consecutive years which make less than half of the original like it looks will happen with Aquaman 2 and now Joker 2?

Last year's The Marvels, though it may not be considered 100% a direct sequel to Captain Marvel. Alice Through the Looking Glass also comes in mind.

If you loved Rise of Skywalker or the theatrical Justice League, you’re in luck!

Oh god, the incel focus groups....

So my best friend and one of his friends just came out of Joker 2.

He said it was one of the best naps he ever took.

Theatrical Justice League > Snyder Cut

Quality Zs are important.

Homeboy stealing my Halloween thread gimmick. Dumping on a flick but then posting images like it's profound.

Just got done watching the first few episodes of season 3 for The Legend of Vox Machina, sooo good. Recommend the show to anyone that hasn't watched it.

I need to catch up after spooky season. Love everything I've seen of it so far. And of course Ashley Johnson.

Glad you had a nice holiday! What part of the country did you visit? I guess it's usually Helsinki or Lapland, both worthwhile.

Yes, Helsinki. Enjoyed it a lot, thanks.

Oh you didn't like TLJ or TRoS? Let me dab my tears with these Benjamins you gave us.

Still no Star Wars flamethrowers, though.

Criminal to waste Gaga and not let her cook by making original songs.

 

[Iceman]

Haha, I'll take a Venom equivalent too.

Reject modernity (movies), embrace tradition (radio plays).

Movies are older than radio plays.

Studios keep not understanding anything at all.
Some of the best Movies etc have happened because it goes against what the "fans" think they wanted.
Some of the bes performances happened because directors choose a unexpected actor.

And studios already have something like that which shows how unreliable it is...its called Test Screenings.
Time and time again Test Screenings have shown that a small test audience and the large General Audience are two different beasts.

Also, at the very least Disney should know how bad it is when halfway through you cater to those who call themself "Fans".
Like, Rise of Skywalker exists and they catered as much as they could to "Fans" and it was bad.

The far easier and better option would be to hold Youtube, Social Media accountable.
That cant be so hard considering how many grifters literally lie and slander studios and cause damage.
Force youtube to demonitize Grifters, force Metacritic etc to take actions against review bombing and the problem solves itself.
A ton of the negativity in fandoms etc exists just because Grifters bet on negativity to get clicks/Money...take those out and the fandoms start to become less toxic.

I prefer directors/creators get to make their vision without interference. Whether that fits with what I want is a point of interest but a compromised vision with elements shoehorned/forced in doesn’t help anyone. Like Venom in SM3 didn’t do much for Venom fans and simultaneously compromised Raimi and the future of Spidey films.

Animation is the devil. Pictures weren't meant to move!

I am hoping Joker 2 leads to Joker being shoved in my face less by people. If it can do that, I am glad it exists

Same here. Lets let the character rest for a while and build up a hunger for his cinematic return in like a decade or so.

And maybe i’m alone in this but i REALLY dont wanna see Barry Keoghan’s Joker come to fruition. Lawd that looked dreadful to me.
