The Dark Knight Rises You Have My Permission To Lounge - Part 6

Status
Not open for further replies.
I hate a Geoff Johns penned Batman anyway, so the whole project seemed on shaky ground to begin with.

Chris Terrio does nothing to alleviate concerns, after his work on BvS. No wonder Affleck wouldn't shut up about the script for months.
 
Geoff Johns knows nothing. He's even worse than Jon Snow in that sense.

Affleck wrote and directed a ridiculous movie. That's his latest effort.

Terrio's latest effort was a terrible script.

These are the three boneheads in charge of the script.
 
Who gives a ****? Let them squirm in their little safe spaces whining about Marvel and Disney and conspiracies.

Awww yeah good taste, Dini.
 
This place was found.
Maybe the bold part should be reduced.

Meh. Everybody who posts in this thread says the same stuff openly in the other threads. It's not some super-special secret hideout. Plus, they've been known to have a go at the "Haterz!" in the JL lounge. By name, too. ;)

Eh, I don't think it's fair to call Affleck a bonehead, just because he's had one misfire in an otherwise great run. Johns is too early to call in moviedom, but he's a very enjoyable comic writer... just not Batman comics, which is cause for concern. I'll say jury still out on Terrio, too. Argo Terrio, great. BvS Terrio, oh heck no.
 
:lmao:

I think he is upset with the Chip guy :o

they should be glad that some people are being respectful enough to keep their DCEU complaints out of the main threads. Because god forbid anyone takes an opportunity to vent their frustrations in a place where like minded people will be able to have a conversation and not worry about getting reported or temp banned by someone who is more than eager to oblige.

Nothing is ever good enough. They can quote me too if they want, don't really care at this point.

In my eyes, this place was less about keeping our opinions secret and more about not bringing the JL threads down with the same old diatribe. But its clear now that the real desire of some is for posters here to just keep their negative opinions on something with an overall negative perception to themselves altogether.
 
Its not like I go into the JL threads kissing ass and saying how awesome everything is so far/how awesome its all going to be and then turn my back and come in here to start talking trash praying that no one will notice.

I've been very harsh on the DCEU since last March and rightfully so in my mind.

But if posts are going to be constantly deleted and infractions are being handed out, then I'm just gonna keep my cold hard opinions in here from now on. I like this place and the people here too much to let all that get in the way.

You're right. To me it was a "safe space" not in the sense of wanting to avoid people with different opinions, but in the sense of consciously not wanting to be perceived as a troll or a contrarian for the sake of it, cause who needs that?

It started because during BvS the hype from 2013-2016 was so overwhelmingly strong that you really couldn't voice any concerns or criticisms in that section without having that mob mentality kick in. I'm sure in many ways it was a lot like what people who weren't fans of the Nolan films during that era had to go through. I see now, that feeling sucks. In some ways I feel like all the "Snyderism" that popped up during that time and retroactive bashing of the Nolan films was somewhat of a reaction against that. So I get it, the pendulum swung the other way for a bit.

Anyhow, this subforum always stayed pretty active cause there were a group of us that engaged in an ongoing extremely passionate debate about TDKR (some for, some against) that didn't really slow down until like 2014-2015ish. I think some mutual respect was earned during that time period and we eventually learned to agree to disagree and moved on. So as the DC films picked up, it just so happened that most of us were on the same page about it, so it gave us something different to talk about rather than constantly rehashing the same Rises debates. And ultimately for me a lot of it just came down to the fact that during the BvS hype, it was just hard to keep up with that forum. It moved insanely fast. I was getting to a point where I'd rather read a few posts a day and get engaged in a conversation I could sink my teeth into, rather than waste time going through pages and pages of "DAT FLECK CHIN" and "LORD SNYDER HNNNNGGG", so this just became a natural place to continue shooting the sh** without getting lost in the shuffle or being dismissed as a hater. And I hate to play this card....but as someone who's 30 now, that forum just reeked of 18-21 year old fanboys at the time and I just felt like "what's the point?". Though some of you younger cats show amazing maturity and perspective for your age (you, Snow Queen and Shika come to mind for instance), I feel like a lot of other younger fans really get swept up in some of the worst aspects of fandom- especially these days with Marvel vs. DC and all the brand loyalty stuff.

Idk, guess I just felt compelled to share the full origin story of this place just in case you weren't aware Chip. Glad you enjoy it here though.

Nobody should feel like only anti-DCEU opinions are accepted here though. I'd welcome somebody with a level head who wanted to hang out and debate it like a normal human being. I have a good friend who adores Man of Steel and BvS (hates SS though). We disagree on MoS/BvS, but we have a sense of humor about it and I honestly do respect his opinion as I know he's a very smart guy and his knowledge of the comics far surpasses mine. It also helps that he's willing to acknowledge flaws.

I agree with you guys, I like to come here to voice how much I hate BvS, voice my concerns regarding the DCEU with fellow DC fans sharing my views, without trolling fans of these movies or threads specified for discussing those movies.
 
Wait, wat? If this place is about keeping my opinion on DCEU a secret I am doing a terrible job of it.
 
Uh oh, this place has been discovered? I better make my exit. I will have to find a new place to make my hate-filled posts in secret.

Lol the claim is pretty delusional. It's not like having a negative opinion of the DCEU is some controversial dissenting opinion at this point.
 
Maybe this little board is funded by Disney, who has also bought the media and the critics to trash on DCEU because they are scared of WB.
 
It's true, i'd like to think that the majority of us here (if not, ALL of us) now respect each other enough to not lose our cool over something. And if we do, it's temporary. It's just discussion. I mean until Milost comes back ahahaha. Me and Travesty never got along, but he hasn't been around for a while, and i'm willing to bury the hatchet. Other than them, we all seem to come here and treat it like our own little community. Sometimes it's a breather from the Snyderbots (they're not all Snyderbots obviously). Sometimes it's just to chill and talk about something we couldn't bring up in another thread. We feel comfortable in this section for good reason. We spent YEARS here discussing like crazy. There's a lot of new faces coming and going in other threads. Here, there's about a dozen of us that chime in.

If they want, i'll gladly give them by opinions in their beloved threads. I don't need to do it here. Come at me bros. Or i'll have to take it to you!
 
I am so ready for this movie.
 
We are long overdue an awesome Batman movie.
 
Yeah, I'm really excited for it. We all could use a good laugh these days.
 
taking my little brothers to see it next week

finally a movie where I can share my love of Batman/all things DC with them. Really excited for the little guys!
 
If they can give him a script that is actually good, and give him visual directorial job at most, I'll be fine.
 
I'll sign it just to get this thing over with.
