The Superhero Cinematic Civil War - Part 60

[CaptainWagner]

I think NWH made too much money for them to go full on street level w Spider-Man. That's what stuff like Echo is for, I guess.

Ugh. Spidey has been my Number One superhero from Day One, but if this is really the case, I'm out. It's so depressing that in both comics and on film Peter is stuck in the hands of people with zero interest in what makes him good as a character.

 

[Iceman]

One Spidey multiverse story I might be up for.

We just need to get Matt Reeves to make a Spider-Man Blue movie.

What does everyone think Marvel does if Majors is acquitted? My thinking for a long time was that scenario would see them keeping him and weathering the PR storm until it blew over. But after the release of those texts, that seem like a heavy lift.

Ideally dealing with abusers, rapists, etc should be entirely up to the courts, but unfortunately we live in a society where the courts have lost their credibility and for good reasons, so we have to rely on vigilante justice.

That means fans should boycott any Majors movie that is made after the evidence has become public.

 

[kguillou]

Even in acquittal Majors is done. Disney is not going to want to be associated with him and the stink around him, guilty or innocent. Its a purely a PR thing. I think theyre simply waiting for the verdict one way or the other to officially announce his recasting.

Only seven reviews so far but Rebel Moon is at 14% on RT. Sounds like Zack’s new cinematic universe is starting out strong!

Nowhere to go but up.

Are we surprised? I'm not usually one to dog on directors, but ever since Snyder lost the reigns of the DCEU, he seems to obly care about his echo chamber of a fanbase and nothing more.

 

[Kane52630]

You know the Snyderbros are gonna abuse that audience rating to 99%.

 

[kguillou]

Even as someone who really enjoys the guy’s work overall Zack needs to collaborate with a good screenwriter. Hes not strong when it comes to character and story and i think he solely penned the screenplay for Rebel Moon so its likely going to be more like Sucker Punch.

But im still seeing it in theater tomorrow!

 

[Drizzle]

You know the Snyderbros are gonna abuse that audience rating to 99%.

And they're the ones who are going to give Netflix the high streaming numbers so they'll be throwing more money at Snyder. The cycle will never end.

 

[Iceman]

Nowhere to go but up.

Don’t speak too soon.

 

[Ninjablade]

Snyder made another terrible movie? Gasp! Who would've thunk it. I could've sworn the generic sci-fi Seven Samurai/Star Wars ripoff that was also trimmed down for no reason would've been really good.

It has to be Disney buying the critics!

 

[Nardz937]

I wish I could fail upwards as much as Snyder has.

 

[Batgirl0202]

I recall some Snyder fans on YT proclaiming that Rebel Moon would be the "new" Star Wars, now that the actual Star Wars franchise was officially "over" theatrically

LOL of course. The Star Wars Universe is dead! Long live the Rebel Mooniverse!

 

[Drizzle]

It's more like failing laterally. I'm sure Netflix is paying him more than WB did but at the cost of pretty much never having a legit theatrical run for any of his movies. BvS did a lot of irreparable damage to his career.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I’m still mad that Snyder stole 4 hours of my life for that Justice League remix movie of his. But then again I’m more mad at myself for giving into his thrall.

The Snyder Cult will definitely spam their asses off this weekend.

One Spidey multiverse story I might be up for.

Remember when it got to the part in the Snyder Cut where it said "Chapter 4: Yeah this bullsh** is still going" and we all had an existential crisis?

 

[Ninjablade]

The Snyder Cut's greatest achievement is gifting me "Darkseid forgot where the Anti-Life equation was despite it being his one goal".

 

[kguillou]

You guys have to understand something though, this is entirely Netflix's strategy that they've been implementing for years. They dont care about reviews or reception or any of that stuff for their movies, its all about publicity and social media engagement. Look at almost all of their high profile movie releases starring A list talent or with A list directors that ended up being garbage or had abysmal RT scores: it still still gave them clicks and engagement and publicity. That last Gal Gadot movie that came out a few months ago that i couldnt even finish past the first 20 minutes-- it ended up getting high viewing numbers. The Gray Man, 6 Underground, Red Notice...these movies give them #'s. I think they knew exactly what they were doing by engaging a controversial director like zack snyder, they didnt really care if his movie turned out good so long as it results in viewing #'s which it likely will just like with those others.

 

[Ninjablade]

Weren't Heart of Stone's viewership numbers abysmal by Netflix standards? Who the hell actually bothered to watch that? Their original films have been taking in terms of people watching as of recent because people are aware most of them are trash.

And speaking of my second existential crisis.

Me pretending to not have watched it when I actually did:

But @Snow Queen forced me, so it doesn't count

The new Rise of Skywalker/Jar Jar Binks maybe.
