For predator
The director of Prey welcomes you to a world of hurt. Experience Predator: Badlands on the big screen, in theaters and IMAX November 7.
“Predator: Badlands,” which stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, is set in the future on a remote planet, where a young Predator (Schuster-Koloamatangi), outcast from his clan, finds an ...
Boy I better see a 6 page essay
On this peak
I've waited years for this hathor
A good predator movie in theaters again ??(
After how ass the predator was ??????
Prey should have been in theaters
Copium be heavy fr
I mean post prometheus I been waiting too, caught bits and pieces of that trailer not to ruin the experience but seems hella dope.
||Futuristic ||predator is already proven to work
And it looks to be ||combining with alien again for avp|| avp spoilers
Preadator spoiler ||badlands|| ||this elle fanning or what ?||
yeah it does, the whole ||SPORE and crops thing waa waa wee waa peak is back|| lmao
She's ||definitely a synthetic|| predator badlands spoiler
Predator badlands and alien romulus spoilers
This is fate
Predator series : same thing ngl, btw what is ||Predator: Killer of Killers|| all about it's by the same director
Same director but ||he's having 3 different predators face off in 3 different eras. Feudal Japan, Viking era and ww2.|| predator killer of killers spoilers
HA I see, will be good. Does seem very much like one of those jaggy animated Spiderman Into / Across the Spiderverse movies ngl.
Literally shit people have asked for ages
word
Guessing that's intentional
Nowadays they letting animation studios do things again
They've said it before they regret not dropping prey in theaters
But a November slot with a cool new movie ???
Shows some confidence
Gonna start watching Atlanta
yes atleast with Predator badlands they do think it will work.
yellowjackets s1 end ||was expecting shauna and/or natalie would kill Jackie this whole time, then she just dies from sleeping out in the snow
||
One of the best shows
But he hasn't made anything else right?
Top 10 wrong thing
Andor is a meal at a 3 Michelin star restaurant, Secret Invasion is like a pot of gruel left in the open for 10 days
arcane s2 end art exhibition ||"What If We Had Tea Instead?" by Audrey Takada
"Slice of Life" by Owen Freeman
"Pursuit of Great" by Betty Jiang
"Glorious Evolutions" by Sarah Krebs||
secret invasion the biggest wasted potential of a series. it sucks they likely wont repeat the storyline and make it good in future due to already doing it. it couldve easily been a phase.
would be funny if they ever choose to decanonize it
How/where do yall read comics?
Thanks
sucks the comic pirating sites dont have a good UI like manga sites
i think that site doesnt have good option for reading in full screen
MI5 time
OH OH OH
I forgot that starting was from this movie
|| I forgot Rebecca ferguson was on this movie ||
rogue nation
5 is the movie that made me fall in love with her lol
rogue nation, fallout, dead reckoning and then upcoming final reckoning are all mcquarrie films
cruise is great (at least with his cinema) specifically because he's batshit insane
dunno anyone else in hollywood doing the type of stunts cruise does rn
Cruise is doing great job for movies
|| Does this fkers don't have mission reports? LIke except maybe this recent one where they handed off codes to the terrorist, nothing wrong can be outright said about Hunt lol || MI5
MI5 || haha ||
MI5 || not a fan of antagonists who randomly kill their henchman just for show ||
MI5 || Stumbling into Luther's and brandt's car lol ||
|| What's this a F&F now
Great one though
||
Just realized.
MI5 || This is the first MI movie where rubber masks aren't used so far ||
okay calling it
MI5 || The MI6 secretary guy is who Hunt is impersonating as ||
ughhhhhhh
MI5 || I don't think a PM would be questioning his head of intelligence about a scrapped top secret project when head of Intelligence of another freaking country (who is probably the biggest empire) is present in the room
||
OKAY THAT WAS WONDERFUL
MI 5 || I was having a sort of dejavu with this convo. Probably remembered some part of it from my prev watch lol ||
Finished MI5. Great movie. But not as great as a MI movie as MI4
My fav so far still remains MI4
Tomorrow's the final rewatch. Hadn't seen Dead Reckoning the last time since I found out it was a Across the spiderverse sorta thing. Gonna watch it day before I watch Final Reckoning
Let him cook
How is this 2 hours
did anyone else in here see mickey 17
I really hated it
keep souring on it the more I think about it
It wasn’t my favorite but i think hate is a strong word lol
I thought it was just ok to good in some areas
mickey17 ||it felt like a political undoing of every single prior one of his movies, very backwards ||
The princess and the frog is better than tangled
Truth nuke

Why is this so funny
No by the time my dad and I could finally schedule seeing it it had just left theaters
Gonna catch it on streaming at some point
Didn't like Three Caballeros as much as Saludos Amigos
It was good in parts just felt unfocused. Definitely not a movie to hate on unless you disagree with its messages
i didn't hate it but its definitely not my favorite bong joon ho film
Birthday treat damn

also time for MI Fallout
I remember enjoying it a lot, but being angry at it for not feeling a Mission Impossible movie
lets see what I think of it this time
|| damn that's a brutal start ||MI fallout
MI Fallout || India Controlled kashmir.
Getting too close this one ||
MI Fallout || Yesss this was the movie where he did the stunt which broke his leg ||
remebered that with the starting credit
MI Fallout || Okay Cavill is annoying in this one ||
||Imagine making Cavill an annoying smartass. they dropped the ball in this one ||
ugggh MI Fallout || They have AR lens. Just use that to connect to phone and use it identify Lark instead of looking at your phone suspiciously in a bar ||
oh damn || The peak bathroom fight was this early ||
uggggh MI Fallout || White Widow, the person who has maintained such a front wouldn't be killing people sent to kill her in her charity event with such expertise ||
OH right. remembered about MI Fallout end || Cavill is John Lark ||
he's good in a variety of other films
MI fallout ||he played a villian rly well||
not much ive seen in him besides dceu shit, Fallout and s1 of witcher
yeah I was annoyed at the beginning until I remembered that part lol
okay this took me out of the movie
MI Fallout || What the hell is that Muzzle Flash ||
I imagine there's already VFX artist react video with Wren tearing it doown lmao
finished MI Fallout
Great movie
Great ending
But kinda a bad MI movie
In the sense that || The actual sort of heist, and the covert operations and all are weaker than Mi1-4, but it goes beyond than others in narrative structure. Hunt's trauma, which I hope is addressed more in Dead Reckoning and Final Reckoning, and the emotional beats at the end is great. Really has developed Hunt's character to a point that any subtle nod towards the sacrifices he has had to make and such makes me emotional af. ||
finished my rewatch of MI. Great franchise. Sad if it's ending after Final Reckoning lol
Gonna see Dead Reckoning a day before I go to watch Final Reckoning since it's Across the spiderverse/Beyond the spiderverse sorta thing
same
and enola holmes
Man, dead reckoning made me feel depressed for a bit after i saw it mostly cuz of the fate of a char
Silver Age comics man (The Inferior Five #1)
peak
I know and it hurts as a ben 10 enjoyer
Reminded me of this for some reason
(SDF Macross)
Started 20 thousand leagues under the sea
And only like 6 chapters into it
But wtf
Why am i so into this already
20 thousand leagues under the sea ||His writing is so good and I don’t really know yet how to properly describe writing fully but it feels so like energetic. The MC is fully sold on this adventure and so am I already ||
Started this before bed thinking it would be a chill read and I mean it is but i kinda just wanna keep reading it lol
20k leagues ||nemo is indian btw||

20k leagues|| i haven’t gotten to the whole submarine part but even knowing going in its genuinely shocking how im filled with the excitement of finding this “walrus creature” ||
I’m just like flabbergasted lol
Some random ass book from the 1800s lol
Excited to see where this goes
that was the peak of literature fr fr
Prose peaked during Regency Era. It's all downhill fr fr
Yeah they just don’t make books like they used to…
Sigh…
I can only appreciate the prose of these old sophisticated writers, none of this new gen stuff like Brandon Shitserson…
~~I don't like tolkien's prose either ~~
gonna be roasted by harsh and others here
I mean again I’m only 5 chapters in
So it remains to be seen
But I’m enjoying it immensely
Prose included
I do have lotr on my to read list tho
So I’ll judge you for myself soon
I still think it's good
but like for me the peak is much difference so the difference between Brando, Rothfuss and Tolkien isn't that wild as is for others
I still plan to read brandon sometime in the future and i was gonna start with stormlight but seeing how that will take 5 years lol I think I’ll just go mistborn because its completed? I think? Idk
Lol
Going into game of thrones i don’t have any expectation of it finishing but going into a series KNOWING I’ll have to wait 5-6 years is just painful man so I’ll wait
Mistborn isn't completed really
but it's like
Jojos
2 Mistborn parts are completed
first is a trilogy, and second is 4 books
2 or 3 Mistborn parts are remaining
Oh okay
we will all be there for mistborn 5 in 20-30 years
Social Network || i felt bad for Eduardo, it was so satisfying when he broke Mark's laptop||
First teaser for the ‘SPIDER-NOIR’ series, starring Nicolas Cage.

Uhhhhhh
I don't know what to think of it
looks cool
I don't know if its the dialogue or what
But the overall vibe doesn't feel right

Been on my list for a while 
I have not read a book in over a month 😭
Was obsessed with expedition 33 recently so I put like 60 hours into that 
I think my next series will be the first law
@north sun
oh yes I remember you asking about it like a month ago lol
Age of Madness is where real shit's at though
also dk if you have heard but we are getting a Best Served Cold adaptation
which is a novella in First law
rebecca ferguson as main character
prolly to test the waters
with how HOTD, rings of power and other fantasy stuff has done
yea
I need a good Sand dan Glokta on screen
yeah atleast there's a good chance for it
Malazan's and Stormlight's adaptation are nowhere near
Malazan would be insane
One's stuck in endless rights transferral
Stormlight is more possible
sando should just do arcane style animation smh
man's waiting for live action
shit would be expensive
I’ll be real Stormlight would be better for animation
Yea
the world and the magic system and stuff like || spren || are difficult to do right in live action
The way of kings || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RHFf4QPCMA ||
Life before death.
Strength Before Weakness.
Journey before Destination.
This is an animatic I've been working on for the past year and a half. While working in professional animation projects I learned a lot on how to make this type of cinematic storyboards and being a fan of both "The Stormlight Archives" and "The Black Piper" music I was ins...
this fan animation is so sick
i'll perhaps add the farseer trilogy to my list
we are so backkkkkkkkkkk

lmk what you think of it harsh
I was too emotionally drained after the first trilogy to get to Tawny man and Fitz and fool
Shit i forgot to tag @spice surge
oh btw, the tainted cup is excellent
2 parts out of 4 done
X-Men TAS Season 3 ||Is Lady Deathstrike this stupid in other media when she's not Wolverines ex-fiance
Already getting bored of Weapon X plots, it's like a get out of jail free card for giving Wolverine a new villain for the week. Just stick with sabertooth lol||
The Sopranos S1: ||Tony never did have the makings of a varsity athlete.||
Peak incoming
Ive been enjoying it although im only a little in
rewatch?
thunderbolts ||i thought this shit was going to be awful and it was just hype but it was highly enjoyable and i am actually interested on how the characters get developed lmao wtf but the teleporting(?) girl needed more scenes||
yeah saw too many clips in my YouTube shorts and decided it was time for a rewatch lmao
Watching Hoppity Comes to Town
Whats with animations obsession with anthropomorphic bug movies
Feels like every time I do research into groundbreaking films, locally or internationally, there's some revolutionary thing about insects living like people at the forefront of every movement
The channel names are confusing for no good reason
Other Series is for anime, manga and manhwa. This channels for anything else
Like godzilla and live action adaptions of anime go here. And Netflix cartoons styles after anime like Castlevania or Scott Pilgrim
cmon, stop tallking sense. im a troll
🤠
its for its concise nature as a visible channel mostly. Can't call it "liveaction-series" because it allows western cartoons etc
to be more specific, would be to muddy the actual visiblity of the channel name
and it wouldn't show the full thing
#western-series ends up being the most direct and obvious thing that covers the most likely content to be discussed here
Add a + to the end so it's more descriptive and looks cooler
also to add to this
Btw this movie was surprisingly good I genuinely recommend it
live action adaptations of anime usually still go in #other-series
Whole things free on YT cuz Paramount doesn't give a damn about it
Don't we talk about things like Re Cutie Honey here tho
idk what that is quite frankly...
this is the bakugan channel unofficially
whatre you gonna do
the odds are stacked against you
opening was clinically hard
TWO WORLDS COLLIDE
Anno did a live action adaption akin to his Shin movies
I guess idk the context enough. Like is it a direct adaptation or is it like
edge of tomorrow adaptation
like edge of tomorrow is obviously its own thing that takes major inspiration from its "source material"
Also watched Ichabod & Mr Toad tonight, seen parts of this on TV way back in the day but never the full package
And honestly this movie does a disservice to itself by pairing these shorts they don't juxtapose or compliment each other at ALL, of all the package films you can tell this one's two independent stories they stapled together to make a full theatrical length picture
Mucks up the tone and pacing of both and it's a shame cuz Ichabod is a masterpiece in isolation and while Mr Toad isn't one of the better The Wind & The Willows adaptions its a novel enough one. Kinda the same problem I have with Otomo's Memories
Anyway got ten more Disney films left to complete their entire main studio filmography and I'm kinda not looking forward to any more of em lmao
Unfathomably bad taste
Snyder is always wrong when it comes to Batman

@white smelt we have that word filtered by automod so can't post images with it
Anyone have good suggestions for a cop related tv series 
psych
you're welcome
Psych is peak
This? Don't see it in any subscription network I'm subscribed to 
I would recommend Castle
But mostly cuz Nostalgia
Idk if a new watcher would appreciate it ad much
Anything thats available in netflix?
ugh netflix
Netflix is cheap in india, its like 2.5$ per month
I got tired of all the streaming services
And this is not available in my region 
so I built my own
Plex?
that is really unfortunate
didn't know HBO was like that
yeah
I recently backed up all my stuff cause I'm rebuilding my NAS
You still have to torrent though 
Isn't buying individual media expensive?
I rarely watch the same movie or series more than once unless its sitcoms so idk if its worth it
I've watched psych like 4 times now
I'm guilty of watching some sitcoms more than 5 times
Just put it in the background and work
Torrenting is much cheap
And VPN isn't required
I don't have a pc
Or like just use Stremio or smth
My gf uses that and apparently it has all popular stuff for free
Torrenting in ipad is hard right? Never tried
The Sopranos S1: ||Jimmy Altieri is so hilarious. That meeting with Tony in the basement. He may as well have put "I'm an informant wearing a wire" on his forehead.||
My bad og
sopranos s1 + overall || mf dumb asf. a lot of the rats on sopranos mishandled everything so bad. ray curto was the smartest one lol, he died without anyone ever finding out he ratted. ||
Thank you Tony Gilroy for one of the greatest shows ever made
What an incredibly emotional and cathartic season
This is releasing tomorrow, the weeknd is my favourite artist, is it worth it 🤔🤔🤔
If this get less than 6.5/10 on imbd I am not watching it.

It fits in the garbage

I'm super excited about superman

Your choices, your actions, that’s what makes you who you are. #Superman - Only In Theaters and @Imax July 11
“Superman,” DC Studios’ first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures. In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly im...
I’ve got such a bright smile on my face right now, James Gunn really gets it
superman ||I'm assuming luthor is president?||
I'm watching Fleischer superman this morning to build up the hype
superman ||no he's not||
interesting
looks good though
definitely watching in imax
I wonder how expensive tickets are...
oh they're not on sale yet
superman ||luthor being the president is a concept that's not used a lot, its not prevalent in the comics, he's always been the rich guy who has enough power to sway governments and who's the smartest person on earth||
Okay this looks perfect
Great trailer.
The only portion of trailer I wasn't exactly fan of was || Luther's malding face || Superman trailer
that's perfect
It just looked very funny and out of place in the trailer personally
superman ||i love how hoult is showing it to be such a visceral hatred that you can feel his veins pop in his face, awesome stuff ||
Superman/Man of Steel|| Dad Kent is already miles better than Man of Steel one by just a single dialogue ||
Superman/MoS|| For me so far neither BvS nor this Luther feel that right ||
The 80s one (forgot the movie name) was perfect
I think it was Superman 2?3?
Idr
80s luthor is a pastiche
Superman ||nah I'm with harsh, Hoult's Luthor is pretty good. he feels like he's the only sane person in the world that notices Superman isn't a man||
i love hackman but luthor is way too goofy and comical in that
superman ||luthor is most definitely insane but he's also the smartest man in the world||
Superman ||thats why I said he feels like he's the only sane person lol||
superman ||he doesn't understand that superman is not a man per se but he's human, he's perhaps the most human of all||
yeah
its awesome
But yeah || Super man. He isn't a man. He's a "it" was perfect Luther Line ||
Superman trailer
superman trailer ||one of my favorite lines is "i cleaned your boots" lmao ma and pa kent are the greatest||
Probably my fav shot from the trailer. Superman trailer new
bruh, actual clowns are running this show

my wife and i had been complaining about this since day one. I don't know why these jackasses thought "Max is totally better than the iconic HBO logo that everyone recognizes from the past 30 years."
just call it Twatter like a real G
ohtani sucks
Are you lost
He’s definitely wrong

Will this cook
No chance
I thought the clone high revival was pretty good
There's a slim chance
But also this is Hulu and their Futurama seasons looked terrible
I seriously hate this part one and two bs from Netflix I just wanna watch them all together
new Superman 2025, Batman v Superman 2016 || the only parts I like is that where either Krypto is there or Lex Luthor (and where those 3 superheros come flying idk who they are) cause I know Nicholas Hoult will pull it off somehow, like how Jesse Eisenberg did justice to BVS 2016, rest idek know how the actors will do. Henry Cavill was peak superman material, I will be watching but not great expectations for it ngl. From DC I expected a BVS treatment a more dark and raw experience how Zack Snyder did it, they tryna be Marvel with James Gunn direction which will not work and fail hard af imo. ||
As I expected
Don't put the weeknd in any show or movie 🤣
not the best out there but i acc enjoyed it some
Have faith in Mike judge
Zack Snyder is a hack im ngl
Thank God they picking to make superman as he actually is
Positive and bright
😭
dude I feel like your DC/Marvel opinions are like the complete opposite of the truth
consistently
@south hatch 
not you lisa
hathor
dw 
I accidentally forgot to re-add the quote after deleting it
(originally quoted gif instead of message)
Im mega down to let James gunn cook
I’m a known Gunn hater but it looks cool. Anything even remotely opposite of Snyder is for the betterment of the property
yeah lmfao
"From DC I expected a BVS treatment a more dark and raw experience how Zack Snyder did it"
this is crazy
Wet fart noise
I loved the trailer because it's not that
And it can still be deep
And touch on dark themes
You don't have to drown the color out and make superman depressed
this feels like the opposite issue The Batman's reception had
Snyder fans thinking superman is dark and edgy
Is the craziest thing
I've ever seen
😭
Clark's a cinnamon bun that can lock in when he needs to
I’ve never seen this level of fanboy
The Batman ||people were upset there werent any Bruce Wayne happy boy moments||
With the Snyder cult
does snyder even have any good movies
Not a single one
Watchmen
I've disliked all the ones I've seen
And that was carried by the comic
And him copying it basically
Shot for shot almost
😭
The only good thing about watchmen is the intro
I was literally about to say
watchmen isn't good, watchmen is just inherently cool
It’s so good I’m still pissed off I got bait and switched
He only works when the material is god like
Basically
If you gave watchmen to anyone else it would’ve been good
because its the only real watchmen movie afaik
Nah I love the movie but I always prefer the comic
We aren't getting anything remotely close to accurate post Snyder movie tbh
Alan Moore comics
Used to be the hotness
Like v for vendetta
Zack Snyder so good he missed the theme of the movie even when the adaptation was perfect scene to scene
🔥
The shit he changed was weird
lowkey zack snyder is carried by the term "snyder cut" cause the amount of time people have said it, made me assume he became some godlike director (self named extended version) just through the nature of the statement
then I googled all his movies
and theyre all ass
...
Hold up
(I dont know directors etc very well)
But the rest is ass
Ngl gotta be the first take i disagree with you on fully
Superman/Man of Steel || Corenswet has more personality in like 4 seconds of this trailer than Cavill could in the entirety of Man of Steel, which is sad because Cavill can be a charismatic performer ||
A good zombie movie hits
Not a lot of good zombie movies
About to get one in a month
but what about the goat zombieland!
Sequel dint hit as hard though
Ye
Hyped for 28 years though
I like 300.
I like Watchmen enough.
Thats funny
Watchmen adaptation sucks ass
I had fun with the first one in highschool or w/e but I was also incredibly high
I heard the second was ass and never watched
1st is probs ass too
weed makes stuff like that better 
Superman trailer || love how much Superman cares about doing good and how much he cares about defending people, he has to shout over Lois to make that point known, external considerations be damned, he’s opinionated and that goes hard ||
Superman trailer || he also does a vocal switch between being Clark and Superman, Corenswet has nailed this ||
Ive only seen the first big trailer. Will just watch in theaters. I'm not excited enough to fiend to see more but I'm also still interested in it
so I don't want to be spoiled more
these movie trailers are so ass man, so much about the plot is conveyed in them
You didn’t see it?
If it’s good ima be in the theaters crying like your friend
The one that came out yesterday?
correct
I think || The War Shot || was nonsensical. Other than that the trailer was so damn good
?
are you a lowkey superman lover
What are you talking about
Superman ||superdog if made by snyder||
Superman trailer || The army being positioned this way. Why're they just sending random ranks and atvs with like 200 dudes sporadically throughout
Surely this wont lead to dozens of friendly fire incidents
||
Too late to the meme 
It does do that
Where da meme pic
Hope
Instead of Snyder's Superman giving off idk edgy or strength or w/e
He’s a good character yeah
What’s not to like
I’m neutral on chars like Superman and captain America I think they’re cool but ion like the overly good boys
But this Superman just
People get paid to make this
Looks so fucking good 😭
Ultra ass incoming
Looks like a Roblox poster
Peak ?
Poster ass but the movie was hitting
The movie looked really bad but I kind enjoyed it yeah
I miss Andor already, man, I rewatched Rogue One as soon as I finished the finale and I just bawled at the ending of the movie, which I never imagined before
I’m gonna start my OG Star Wars trilogy rewatch today
graphic design is my passion
The background looks AI generated man

The two cliffs they’re standing on, tacked in
Lmao
It looks really bad
I get what its going for but the photoshop is awful
Just have someone paint the poster at that point
rewatched a new hope
wonderful
andor and rogue one yet again doing wonders in making this rewatch so much more emotional
don't give me the comic purist lines lmao and meme tier replies hurr durr "Zack Snyder is a hack" some people just want DC to just continue down one road instead of switching it up with the themes. Esp with the build up the got going with the - MoS 2013, BvS 2016, WW 2017, Aquaman 2018, WW 1984 2020, JL (Snyder) 2021, BA 2022, Flash 2023, Aquaman 2023. Why would I suddenly want some upbeat lovey dovey Marvel tier slop now. Man just continue down the same path. Wyd DC.
DC has a consistently negative reception with its movies
for good reason
edgy content is also not an indicator of mature content
man sybau you just hate superheros and DC / Marvel in general 
the idea that its mature because its dark is flawed
maturity in writing comes wrong the execution of that writing, regardless of the superficial portrayal
also about the snyder cut etc do I even gotta say anything ..
However wrong Red is with his comic takes, he’s right here
it's just better
Zack Snyder is a bad director who doesn’t understand the material he’s adapting
if you watched JL 2017 you'd know how much better the 2021 JL was ..
Both of them sucked ass in different ways
Only Snyder cultists are braindead enough to keep harping about that
my comic takes often come from the issues I have with movies catering to hathor types
and things along those lines
I just think comics are less visually interesting and I dont like that they're so frequently restricted to cape shit and having a billion "runs" of things etc
but that doesn't mean that cape shit can't be good
I genuinely don’t think Snyder has any capacity to understand the true essence of these character because he has a very specific antithetical perceptions of those characters
or that there can't be a good run
Most DCEU movies also sucked hot ass
It’s amazing
Only good ones were Blue Beetle, Shazam and the first Wonder Woman
you do realise there's Patty Jenkins, James Wan, Jaume too
you just stuck on Snyder hate trip man
Yeah, he’s the mastermind of the DCEU
I also think this is lowkey a sequelitis thing. Not massively, but I imagine people invested in either snyder or DC enough to be biased in their reviews are the types to watch a "snyder cut" of the justice league.
Of course I’ll put the blame on him
so the scores end up skewing higher
He set the blueprint
like sequels to an anime tend to
Man of Steel is fine and BvS is really bad, then Wonder Woman had Jenkins trying to do something good, did it and then shat the bed with Wonder Woman 1984
Even Aquaman is very aggressively mid and then Aquaman did the same, Shazam and its sequel has some merits but they didn’t exactly course correct
Snyder capped it off with Snyder Cut but by then the DCEU died a much deserved death
It’s not like he made a quality product
That movie only paved the way for Snyder to pull out more slop with Rebel Moon by aping Star Wars unsuccessfully
as someone not heavily heavily heavily invested in batman etc, I do have a question about this and The Batman.
The Batman ||my irl friend is very much a cape shit lover. As in, he skews in the same direction as Hathor. He hated The Batman. Found it boring, fell asleep in the theater, etc. I've had convos with him about this movie. And he tends to shift to "its a poor portrayal of Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne is always a sociolite and he started as one, so having him as a social outcast version of Bruce Wayne is antithetical to the character" etc. I don't read comics like that, (and I know he doesn't either, he just watches tiktoks that talk about them etc while I don't get much info about them), but is he right about this? And would you think of it in the same manner regarding "true essence of the character"?||
well the 2017 JL was sup to directed by him as well he just had to leave following the death of his daughter, so obv when the better version comes out in 2021 they go watch it, if only you watched both the movies you'd know bad JL 2017 so you would have appreciated how much better 2021 JL is.
thats fair. I said before that I don't really know director names etc very well. Nor have I paid much attention to them when I've watched superhero movies especially
I just assumed 2017 JL was made by him too
and then he made some special snyder cut after
2017 JL is bad but Snyder Cut doesn’t do much besides adding more slo mo atmospheric shots and scenes that don’t do much
It’s marginally better
oh is it not actually adding onto plot etc?
its just changes to direction and editing?
blud u are a Marvel fanboy idek what to say if those three are the only movies you found good in the DCEU
they even got the two Shazam's which are way more upbeat compared to what DC usually puts out thematically compared to say MoS or BvS etc.
Snyder Cut || Cyborg’s sob story is very hackneyed and contrived, and it’s treated as the sole emotional vehicle of the film, the characterization of Superman is laughably bad in the 2017 Whedon version when they revive him and how he reverts but this film doesn’t improve much on that either besides making the concept marginally better ||
batman is his favorite DC/Marvel anything afaik
I’ve been criticizing Marvel for years now
calling him a marvel fanboy is kinda wild
I don’t like Phase 4 and 5 at all
I think it’s a waste of time if you’re not engaging with the points I’m making, you’d better do that instead of attack my taste
I’m not here to indulge in that sort of shit
Yeah yeah lol
I'm the taste attacker
I’ll respond to your Batman query, Red
ye npnp 
whenever you can
genuinely curious cause I haven't read enough comics to know if hes right
or just talking out of his ass
nah nah JL 2017 was then directed after he went away by Joss Whedon who did not fuck it up completely, he shot good footage but the adaptation, pacing, allat, theme, but the treatment pacing and also a lot of scenes had to be reshot and missing content and sequencing added. That is why it had bad reception. Nothing against Joss Whedon tbh he did a solid job with the tv series and some of the Avengers movies, but JL 2017 he did mess up.
Nah fuck Joss Whedon I googled and he did Avengers 1 and Age of Ultron
those movies are ass

yeah and they get that guy in to do the DC adaptation for JL post MoS and BvS theme.
The Batman || your friend is very wrong and stupid (no offense), the idea of this film is that Bruce is consumed by the idea of vengeance as a mechanism of administering justice, he is sequestered in this mindset throughout since he started his crusade 2 years prior to the events of the film and hasn’t seen any sort of progress in his endeavor. He’s questioning his methods and he’s completely cordoned off being the public facing billionaire Bruce Wayne. Which is brilliant because he always stalks the night as Batman and doesn’t bother with maintaining his reputation outside that identity he has forged out of trauma and pain. He is very fearful of losing anymore in his life. So when the Riddler and Catwoman starts challenging his privilege, he begins a journey of change and realizes that the purpose he wants to have is to help people, change himself into someone who represents hope (something he does at the end where he rescues people at the flood) and starts becoming a hero that serves the people while also helping the city in the form of being a billionaire philanthropist ||
The Batman || time and time again, Bruce is challenged in his mindset of privilege and blind vengeance and begins to change, he begins to see his role as someone who has to inspire hope and protect people, that’s Batman ||
The Batman ||oh, I totally get that. That is usually where my stance lies. But his argument is a very simple "he doesn't need to learn to become a philanthropist by being an outcast first, hes philanthropic from the start in the comics". He views that more "lighthearted" side of batman as a valuable part of his character that should always be there from the start. Partially because he finds it more entertaining, partially because he just feels it is core to the character, and partially because he views it as irresponsible/negligent for Batman not to use his wealth for good from the get go||
The Batman || the socialite billionaire persona is not something Bruce came up with immediately, it took years to hone that persona ||
The Batman ||even after becoming batman sometimes?||
The Batman || if you read Batman: Year One or Long Halloween (books Reeves stated as direct inspiration), you can see Bruce come up with his dual identity and deal with it in a way that changes over time ||
The Batman || he’s a playboy billionaire with money to blow and nothing to show in the comics, which makes for a great cover in the comics, the film tweaks it to him being a recluse ||
The Batman ||so in the comics he starts as a socialite but not philanthropic? Cause the latter part was the core of his argument||
obviously its different per comic
but still
The Batman || realistically if you’re stalking all night beating up criminals, you should have a vampire like existence, you can see that with Bruce when he constantly gets through the night and comes back home in the day to still work on being Batman in the film taking on toll on his life and health ||
The Batman || in the comics that describe his origin, Bruce starts out with a callous persona of a guy who’s too rich ||
I can post specific panels as well lol, your friend is very TikTok pilled it seems like so he just basically misunderstood the assignment in the first place
so he can often find himself justifying a reaction to something fairly unreasonably
had to use an #other-series example to describe

i've seen many people like that unfortunately in the comic book space
so its year one the "canon" batman origin? I say that because comics usually have so many different retcons
Joss Whedon's shit was only good when he blatantly ripped off anime and made "original" shows
its most universally regarded origin yes

I saw buffy in there..
theres not really a canon origin they're all different continuities
scott snyder did it for new 52 as well, but that's a different continuity, still pretty good
year one would just be "this version's year one"
gotcha 
fulfilling talk. Maybe when the batman 2 comes out it'll reignite our convo
or if he ever stops being stubborn
and watches The Penguin
your friend sounds very fun

same friend that hasnt watched a single good seasonal anime in the last 3~ years so we can't talk about much in that front anymore either
he just watches the demon lord/isekai slop
hes very much become an "I like to have something on in the background but I can't find time to focus on watching something" guy in his defense
Isekai slop is an acquired taste
bro i envy guys who only watch slop, its amazing how confident they are with their opinions
Yeah perfect for that
(he has time he just likes to look at tiktok at the same time)
they're the ones who have more opinions on good things rather than the people who have actually seen/read those things
(not having time means when he doesnt want to watch tiktok)
I lowkey tainted him. When he was watching bleach, and then when he was watching naruto, both times he asked me how I felt about them and I said "I don't like them but you like fights so you might"
But for some reason for THOSE
he trusted me and dropped them
and now pretends he knows more about why they're bad than he does
LMFAO
he dropped them before he got to the parts I dislike too so it genuinely was blind trust
😭
perchance...
I'm the only person I know irl that isn't perpetually star wars and marvel pilled lol
bro please watch andor
Dude got hopeful with Andor to just be disappointed again (in the future)
I will dw. Just not in the watching mood rn ig
I've been reading
what have you been reading
cross game and battle studies. Also finished another short manga by the rainbow artist
ah right
true
sorry
Severance s2 ||lost its magic, what a shame. Just another sci-fi about an evil corporation vs humanism, spits in the face of s1 and its themes ||
you finished it?
I was fearful of this
?
severance s2 ||it was always about evil corporation vs humanism||
severance s2 ||i find the second season more episodic than the straightforward linearity of s1 but its as good to me because of the places and ground it covers, i think it also is more nuanced in that respect||
Severance s2 ||No it wasn’t, the far more interesting and pertinent political statement being made was the observation of a system of abstract labor’s resulting alienation, shown by the outie’s slowly failing excuses to keep the exploitation of innies intact. When you drag the conflict away from innies vs outies and to innies & outies vs corpo you ruin this by framing the messaging around a corrupt set of evils and acting as if it’s the cause, rather than a specific “choice” the people involved have made by opting themselves into this system. Especially given the corp is just evil and materially irrelevant, it was only pertinent as a reflection of those who were opting in’s wills. ||
I’m watching andor s1 btw, pretty good
did you finish s2
of severance
man I gotta watch andor s2 I just gotta get back in the jam
everyone talking good about it
Yes
Which episode of Andor s1 are you at
9
Andor || “I’m the only one with clarity of purpose” ||
Forest Whittaker is a great actor
Yeah it was doing so well their movies kept flopping
And were panned constantly for poor writing and misunderstanding the characters
Zack Snyder wrote them like he was the Garth Ennis of movies
Thank God dc fired him and hired someone else
I dint enjoy anything he ever put out dc wise
4 hours to make a shit film is still crazy to me

You haven’t seen The Thing?
you could just ask me neko
its a mid list
I have watched 15 from these
I have
My next movies would be Alien Franchise, and Lethal Weapon franchise
The latter only cuz of Mel Gibson
good
Hadn't even heard of it. Saw Mel Gibson on the cast list. Immediate watch lol
why mel gibons
i hate mel gibson as a person but i cant deny he's a good actor and a decent director
I believe in separating the art from the artist but only the the art is good enough
he aint all that
mel gibson is a racist and an anti-semite
It’s one of my favorites ever. Like, films in general 👍
So you better like it
Or else
I do
Insanely shit taste from you
We calling anything mid these days
Id recommend the crow for sure
First time I've seen anyone say anything like this about Mel 
Mel is insane though
Do I start Smiling Friends or The Penguin
the penguin
The penguin for sure
I am always out of the loop with what kind of people actors/directors are
Unless well they are Bollywood ones
Nowadays I am out of the loop even in that
just assume that theyre all dodgy and 80% of the time youll be right
too bad he got so many movies in though, but I like em so you just got shit taste if u want Marvel tier goody goody slop outta DC as they were sup to be "comic"-wise. 
you're so corny bro
Nah dc was honestly garbo
also we judging movies based on commerical success now, then what abt some of the titles from your list
Till they got gunn
are they all box office hits ?
I'm just saying
if marvel movies are slop what does that make the dcu
Most direct comparison
Dcu movies were slop of a different variety
Then they tried to course correct with shazam
I don't wanna compare that movie, try something else maybe Shazam ?
Translation : I'd get cooked cause 2016 is hot garbage
😭
keyword "different" type of slop
I don't want both of them going crazy on the same goofy train
DCEU is a failed universe
I can actually see a good movie with marvel occasionally
I got nothing with dceu
Its all ass
DCU is what james gunn and peter safran are pulling up
the suicide squad reboot is legit good and it gave us peacemaker
thats the only good thing that can out of their entire run
also, peacemaker show is really great
wait a sec gunn's mf the movie ain even out yet .. wait till we actually go watch Superman 2025 come on now.
they should just stop making movies now
i have seen all of the other gunn movies, he understands the assignment better than anyone else could in comic book films
faxx
mad hating on DCEU over here man idek
he got suicide squad right, he got the guardians right
And that was all gunn

The same guy doing superman
So idk why superman is getting shit from you
When he's already proven himself
james gunn is the guy who directed the suicide squad reboot and peacemaker dawg lmfao
including season 2 in there, which i'm very excited about
You do know that the overall DCEU is still a failure right?
What you think doesn’t matter here, it’s a failure in every respect and got scrapped fully because it’s a failure, you’re not doing yourself a favor by denying reality and living in a deluded fantasy world where the DCEU actually went hard, it didn’t, it’s a dud
wait so u telling me Wonder Woman 2017 was crap too
What is so hard to understand with what we’re saying, genuinely
Hathor be like:
Superman 2025
You can always cite individual exceptions of “good movies” here and there popping into the universe but look at the overall picture
Yeah, are you not understanding what I’m saying
Bro
Damn remember blue beetle, statically no because no one saw it
his words not mine
I’m talking about the overall universe and vision dumbass
plus I did not even watch it
I wrote it clearly above
I am talking abt the overall vision too bitch
I don’t know what so hard to understand what my point or anyone else’s point is
cause apart from those that you yourself said are good, I like the other movies too how hard is it to understand harsh 😭
just slap in BvS MoS, JL 2021 etc
BvS is not a good movie, MoS at best is fine, Snyder Cut is too boring - heck I’d say MoS is aggressively mid too, not good, now that I think about it
literally my first line is abt liking superman 2025 ||krypto in it dumbass mf|| #western-series message
they are worse than the worst marvel garbage
Overall dc was dogshit
Gunn literally picked up his suicide squad and peacemaker dipping to his own
Shit sucks for Cavill but he's got a 40k show coming and brother ain't crying about shit
actually impressive they managed to flop in the golden era of capelover cinema slop
even with marvel putting out some of their worst movies
wb in general suck at anything they try to do
games, movies, comics
I am happy for Cavill Warhammer but like it would be such an expensive project to get it right
Given what I know of Warhammer lore
idk much about warhammer but you mean the cgi?
Ye
giant space battles and hordes of enemies
It's like
There's a high chance it looks sloppisg
For cgi horde enemies
And like if you do Khorne or Nurgle
Heavy detailed character design which needs to be practical or very refined CGI
I don't want it to be like
Zack Snyder Justice League
weird comparison
Animated dc movies are fire tho so not too much
Altho theres been less of them over the last few years
I only know the justice league animated series
that was good
idk about the movies
even their comics seem to be going downhill too
don't wanna keep going on abt the whole Marvel or DC which is more ass in terms of movies, but Marvel got a lot of dogshit tier movies too they fell off when they went for that 3rd / 4th thor movie, same for the 3rd Iron man movie etc, some would say even some of the Avengers movies are absolute ass. I just enjoy both tbh, given that they will have differing styles.
wasn't he removed from Witcher tv series, which show he got now.
You gotta stop mentioning thor 3 thats the only good thor movie
The new absolute runs theyre releasing seem to have readers energized. Ive heard good things. May pick them up one day
I like 3 for the meme content btw. 4 was worse objectively Red just mentioning both cause people finding either of them ass in general.
3 is good
I heard its good I might check it out
People dont find 3 ass its the most beloved
they both have garbage considering how much slop they used release per year but my marvel highs are much higher than any anything from dceu
wait a sec
its not even close
4 entertained me at least but yea...
would you say thor 1 and 2 are better than 3 tho
haha lmao
1 i could agree with but not for me
I've only saw clips of it and it looks awful
this is where the problem is some mfs stand by 1 and 2, for me 1 is good.
lmfao
Thor 2 bored tf out of me so badly i dont even remember the plot
thor 1 is literaly one of the worst movies ever made
and what are ur marvel highs
Really?
😭
There are so many that are much worse for ms
I watched almost nothing after end game
I think the worst thing a marvel movie can be is boring
Thor 1 is boring
word word, the whole color grading was dark too
Lol fair but i was also including pre end game movies
thor 3, wandavision, winter soldier are the only ones that come to mind
I hate the avengers
Respectable list






more ammo, I see
