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

[Moncton]

There is so much riding on this movie, pretty much DC and WBD’s fate is riding on this, so this has to be a crowd pleasing four quadrant film. Meaning it needs to have a happy ending. So no one’s gettin’ their neck snapped.

DC maybe but not WBD anymore after Minecraft, Sinners, and likely Final Destination crushed at the box office.

None of these are "saving" WBD. Superman can't save WBD. Their operation is now to make less films and show, way less originals, and to live on brands until their next sale. All while culling work from minorities and women.

They're fine.

Ain't it fun when good comic book stories are chosen to be adapted?

*glares at Spider-Man adapting OMD and BND*

Hey that story works better with a young Peter rather than a married one in his 30s.

Peter ain't looking so young these days.

Define "young."

Except it’s actually having Superman speak and defend his positions instead of having everyone in the movie talk endlessly about him while he mopes. What a novel idea!

That Senate hearing scene in B v S has to be one of the worst CBM scenes, instead of having Superman explain himself so he can connect with the audience in a film where he's gonna die, we get a mindless explosion, a Granny's Peach tea gag, and Superman staring ahead expressionless while people are burning.

Hey now, let's be fair. He's not expressionless in that scene - he looks like he just remembered he left the stove on.

Martha: Maybe they don't deserve for you to remember to turn off the stove.

Random question: are we really supposed to believe Joel Kinnamon is Frank Grillo’s kid in this universe? I mean…what.

It's official alcoholism is the fountain of youth.

There's a 15yr difference between Robocop and Crossbones. It's not totally out of the realm of possibility

Creature Commandos devotes a whole scene to explaining how he was a young dad. A great use of screen time! God, I hate that show.

Superman trailer is good. Hoult looks incredible, so much aura even when he isn’t speaking.

 

[kguillou]

Thats almost as preposterous as making us believe Peacemaker and Xander Cage are brothers.

But maybe thats the point.

I mean, lest we forget one of the most famous examples of this:



12 year difference.

 

[flickchick85]

I didn’t watch Creature Commandos and probably never will but I kind of assumed Rick Flagg Sr. has had some sort of anti-aging serum explanation but would be highly amused if he did not.

 

[Ninjablade]

I mean if we're talking ridiculous age gaps between father and son on screen combos. The crown jewel belongs to Crispin Glover who was 3 years younger than Michael J. Fox. Meanwhile Lea Thompson is only a month older than Fox.

Ridiculous if you ask me

It is going to be..."interesting" to see how the vulture capitalists carve out the expanse of WBD.

Elon Musk buys it and turns it into XWB.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Yeah. If we get something like that “Mom, Dad… I made it” moment, I’m going to be a weeping mess in the theater lol.

I think getting something like that moment at the end of Birthright would really hit home with audiences as well. It's a sad but uplifting moment, Clark giving his parents an assurance that he is alive, well and thriving after making it to his destination as a baby.

12 year difference.

Maybe it's because I'm still seeing it through the eyes of a 6 year old but I still have zero problem with this one I was floored when I learned how close in age they were

 

[Babillygunn]

So basically that's just Alfred, Gordon, Leslie Thompkins, Harvey Bullock and Renee Montoya with the last three really only being recognizable to fans.

Where’s the love for Harold Alnut???

Snyder killed Jimmy Olsen and Mercy Graves in completely unceremonious ways.

Why???

Don't know who that guy is but I totally forgot to include Luscious Lucius Fox.

 

[Babillygunn]

Harold was the blind guy who Bruce hired to build the Batcave and a bunch of his gadgets. Since he was blind, he apparently didn’t realize that he was working for Batman.

It’s been a minute since I read Hush, but if memory serves, I think that Tommy Elliott killed him.
