Superman was more political than the actual CBM that marketed itself as a political thriller (Captain America: Brave New World)

Not sure if the guy had to read a bunch of Superman comics to make the movie

Oh nice

Watch the animated series maybe.

James Gunn was introduced to the superman character he said by reading comics back when he was 5 or something, then read comics throughout his life and yes we see a lot of comicbook references like from All star superman, Superman birthright, For all seasons etc

[gritty tundra]

Ping to read later

[runic thunder]

Peak

The movie seems to love the number 3 a lot the opening text references, 3 centuries, 3 decades, 3 years, Lois and Clark have been together for 3 months

I have no idea why I doubted James Gunn

[gritty tundra]

Where I left off

[runic thunder]

Has the movie been out long enough to unspoiler text

[gritty tundra]

.

[bold veldt]

It's been a day since it released.

[gritty tundra]

Sean gunn too.... And I saw on the article it said Maxwell lord but I didn't pay enough attention to that so I wasn't sure enough

[runic thunder]

I like ||Supergirl's cameo I wonder if she's wearing a tench coat because they didn't have a proper Cape length for Milly Alcock yet||

I also like that they made playlists for the characters

And that Clark Kent's playlist has The Middle by Jimmy Eat World since the band was also in Smallville, The Middle from the album Bleed American was in a Season 1 episode and Pain from Futures was in that one bodyswap episode

[gritty tundra]

They could've just closed their eyes lol. I remember my dad would do that to me

They have been wanting Glenn as booster golf

Gold

What'd the dude think

[runic thunder]

Also just realized Mr. Terrific's playlist has MF DOOM

Madvillain too, makes sense he'd be a Madlib production fan

[gritty tundra]

That's a funny insult tbh

[runic thunder]

This is I think the most vibrant looking Superhero movie I have seen in a good long while

I don't know if that says more about this movie or the state of current superhero movies

I also had my doubts about Nathan Fillion but he actually pulls in a pretty good Guy Gardner

||ANOTHER movie in recent memory which features an actor giving a dual performance ||

[civic marten]

Banger

[gritty tundra]

Now the million dollar question

Which is better man of steel or superman

[runic thunder]

I assume that ||Krypto was sent with Kara instead of Kal-El though if the Kal-El was indeed sent to conquer Earth what's the deal with Kara||

||it makes sense why they wouldn't show Superman's origin we all know it from heart at this point but we need A LOT more explanation for Kara is she Kara Danvers like Rebirth or Kara Kent like the DCAU and raised in Smallville? Why was she sent to earth? How was she established as Supergirl?||

[dusky jolt]

They’re gonna make a ||Supergirl|| movie, so maybe they’ll touch on that

[civic marten]

Lol

As if it’s even close

Man Of Steel sucks

[runic thunder]

Why were they asking if ||Superman had a harem, they should've been asking Jimmy||

[craggy pawn]

Ah, because of the message Superman's parents who said Superman should take many wives

[spiral relic]

Like something you might see in the animated films. lol

[runic thunder]

Yeah but Superman pulling more than one wife? Nah he isn't even on the same level of Metropolis' biggest player

[spiral relic]

Who told you to tell these lies lol

The guy who’s now part of the justice gang lol

[austere stream]

Superman
Not even a contest

[ornate raven]

superman harem is such a james gunn idea

[civic marten]

Is it lol

[ornate raven]

i thought the movie was fine but idk why i expected more daily planet/clark kent

i remember james saying that’s what’s so cool about dc over marvel and i agree especially with clark kent and bruce wayne so i hope we explore that in the DCU

[rustic yacht]

When they cast actual people as all the Daily Planet staff I thought that meant a lot of time would be spent there

[stray hazel]

I’m sure Gunn is casting with the bigger picture in mind

[wind adder]

Both were decent to me. This movie had better performances.

[stray hazel]

Man of Steel was fine but I think this was much more in the spirit of Superman

I can’t imagine Gunns Superman snapping any necks 😂

[civic marten]

Man Of Steel is for babies who want to feel like grown ups

Superman isn’t nearly as insecure

[craggy pawn]

That's my problem too, like Clarke wasn't shown much and I liked his dynamic with the Daily planet team. So an extra 5 minutes or more showcasing more could have been done.

Btw.. is all spoilers allowed now for the movie here?? We don't need spoiler tags?

[craggy pawn]

What are those ?

[stray hazel]

Camera lenses with custom housing! The crew I usually work with did Superman so they sent me a lot of cool photos, I was working on Stranger Things at the time so missed all of the fun 😦

[craggy pawn]

Man, those different colored Superman logos are custom housing.. that's so cool

[stray hazel]

Yeah someone on the camera team always has a high end 3D printer, they pimp out all their lenses and camera builds

[craggy pawn]

Nice

I hope if it is possible you can show more of your cool photos from the Superman set..

[stray hazel]

That camera team always makes cool stickers too. I have these two from them from bad boys and red one

[ornate raven]

that’s so cool

[stray hazel]

When they wrapped they put everyone’s name on the volume which I thought was awesome, and heres a team shot with the dept I work in

[craggy pawn]

Wow.. that is awesome

[stray hazel]

A lot of the movie was volume work, like when Clark and Lois were talking while the justice gang was having a battle in the background, that was all in camera on the volume

[ornate raven]

seems like it would be easier to just do that in the apartment set with green screen no

or maybe its easier to map lighting with the volume

that scene is so pretty lol

[stray hazel]

Yeah recreating that lighting on their faces on set would’ve locked them into a look, having the work and color already completed and on volume helps sell it all much better

[blazing vigil]

Welcome back man, I saw Superman two nights ago. Loved it. Very funny yet mature

[stray hazel]

I’ve worked with Gunn before, every single detail of every shot is mapped out perfectly, so he knows if he puts something on the volume he’s keeping it until the end

[blazing vigil]

That group picture is pure joy

[gritty tundra]

I heard that he's hard to work with

Because he can be harsh

[stray hazel]

Here’s my buddy doing a ball pass with David, seems like a good vibe

[stray hazel]

He is, he screamed at me once, was not fun

[gritty tundra]

It's funny because he doesn't show that in interviews whatsoever. Makes sense but still

[blazing vigil]

Hey look it’s Superman!

[gritty tundra]

How is David though

[blazing vigil]

He seems chill. Bet he can have a good laugh about things

[stray hazel]

Yeah he just has a very clear vision and no patience for people who overlook a single detail of it

James isn’t mean to actors or rich people lol

[gritty tundra]

I heard that too from the other guy

He's harshed to production crew

Makes sense but still kinda sad to hear

[stray hazel]

He had this put out of the set of the suicide squad (having out my phone is what made him yell at me, he berated at least 3 people a day over it)

[gritty tundra]

Jeez

I hope the pay is good then

[keen topaz]

|| So If Jor El is the bad guy, then is General Zodd the good guy in this universe ?||

[gritty tundra]

Maybe they're both bad

What if zod and jor el are friends or something?

And then next time zod will come and said, this is your Kryptonian way

[stray hazel]

I loved David, but still prefer Reeve. However, Hoult is slowly creeping towards the best Lex the more I think on it

[gritty tundra]

Is David physique huge!

God damn it, I can't believe they gave us star lord thirst trap but not superman smh smh

By they I mean James

[civic marten]

Superman’s too wholesome to be a sex symbol

That’s what Guy Gardner is for

[gritty tundra]

ahhhhh

[craggy pawn]

Maybe Kara's parents are actually good guys

[gritty tundra]

maybe kara is going to be the black sheep of the family, she seems like it

a wild card that doesnt obey

[craggy pawn]

Ya that's unfortunate to hear, he's certainly very good to actors as the Guardians actors signed a open letter supporting James when he was fired

[gritty tundra]

wasnt he bullied or something in high school

[craggy pawn]

No idea

[wind adder]

Corenswet said that Gunn got annoyed when he asked many questions and told him to stfu, but he didn’t take it personally.

[craggy pawn]

BTW..

This was a really interesting interview where Gunn talks a little about Supergirl cameo and basically says Peacemaker season 2 will give some hint of where DCU is heading towards

https://youtu.be/QkaNsqVxJkg?si=hU26D27UPYL1_8dM

[wind adder]

Damn

[stone turret]

yeah my parents would put their hands over my eyes when people kissed in movies lol

[unreal widget]

Spinning lasers is something I never expected anyone to do with Superman. But it's so damn cool. I like that his flight has more physical motion. Rather than concentrated refined propulsion.

Feels like he's still learning to master the skill rather than it just being a perfect power he has.

[wind adder]

Yeah, cool stuff

$23M OS FRI for #Superman. $41M+ cume. Decent in the UK, ANZ, India and LATAM in general. Europe is a big letdown, which is generally good for James Gunn. Weekend now headed for $95M+.

[runic thunder]

I just now realized how odd the costumes are for the Justice Gang, because Mr. Terrific's costume is nearly one to one with his comic look but Green Lantern and Hawkgirl's costumes are clearly supposed to match his but why did Maxwell Lord just force it?

When the costumes were first unveiled I initially thought it would be some form of the Terrifics but no

[unreal widget]

Same reason the coca cola never changes its font.

Or the fact that BMW can't get rid of its kidney grills

[runic thunder]

move over Michael Rosenbaum Lex Luthor he's been dethroned as the biggest hater by none other than Nicholas Hoult Lex Luthor

I was scared Superman would be another 2017 Mummy in that it would try too hard to be a franchise starter but they kinda perfected it, it sets up the future (especially with some of the cameos) a lot while still being entertaining on it's own, they're just sorta peeks into what's next

[unreal widget]

When it comes to Lex Luthor, my mind goes to Clancy Brown and the Young Justice version. Nicholas Hoult played the best of both of those depictions.

[runic thunder]

I think the best action for me is Mr. Terrific's one ||in Lois's POV|| that was really creative

[rustic yacht]

https://t.co/9atT1WkXTK

[unreal widget]

The effortless ness in using the T-sphere strategically to protect Lois and fighting the lex bots, is the perfect way to show his intellect.

[daring trench]

Watched it a couple hours ago and my god

Have not smiled coming out of the theatres like that in a bit

[craggy pawn]

Absolutely it was and btw, he didn't use lasers much probably because he didn't want to cause much destruction.

[terse rain]

The exact numbers that WB predicted that's actually crazy

[craggy pawn]

That was awesome and the song choice made a lot of sense.. that song (5 years time from Noah and the whale) and Punkrocker one at the end, I've been listening on repeat

Loved this

[thick arch]

Do these clowns not realize that the immigrant thing is being used as a “metaphor” for the immigrant experience. Assimilation, Dual identity, Loyalty to adopted home, Facing suspicion or prejudice despite doing good?

Superman would be an undocumented immigrant/illegal, someone who arrived without legal process, but fully integrated and loyal to his adopted country.

He could also be considered a refugee he fits criteria for both.

[austere stream]

Second viewing tonighttt

[thick arch]

He said it’s neither bad or good, had positives and negatives to say about it.

[unreal widget]

yeah i get that

[wind adder]

Humans should be lucky that a Godlike being like Superman is good

[gritty tundra]

Indeed

[stray hazel]

Yeah he spends longer than usual filming, he covers every shot himself, even action that would go to second unit, because of his organization and efficiency, his movies never require reshoots

[gritty tundra]

Drinker fans in the comments dont like that supes get beat up a lot in this movie

Jeez....

[daring trench]

Does anyone else get pissed off by hi-top films? or is it just me

[gritty tundra]

I dont know what to say....

[terse rain]

Seems like he's a bit harsh to the production crew but the productions end up being smoove?

[daring trench]

God forbid you make a character vulnerable so he's more relatable??

[stray hazel]

Yeah the suicide squad was fine, shooting in Panama sucked but that’s my biggest complaint

[gritty tundra]

But what ex told us, he is kinda harsh for no reason

Like the taking out the phone

[daring trench]

Icl I thought the suicide squad was great

[stray hazel]

He’s a bully, he was the bullied and power made him into one

[craggy pawn]

Found this somewhere.. seriously..who goes to watch a Superman movie in a Homelander costume ?

[gritty tundra]

Ooof......

[daring trench]

Edgelord

[wind adder]

What do you mean he was the bullied?

[daring trench]

Taking out your phone isn't really harsh?

[stray hazel]

It’s ok, Homelander approves

[daring trench]

It's just professionalism

[stray hazel]

His upbringing is well documented

[terse rain]

No I see what Ex means

[daring trench]

He wasn't taken seriously in the film industry when he was starting out

[craggy pawn]

Well..

[wind adder]

Is it? Any source

[terse rain]

While I wish he was less of a dick to the crew it seems he's at least a competent director who knows what he wants

[gritty tundra]

No i mean he gets berated for taking out phone

[craggy pawn]

And I guess we don't hear reports of Gunn being a bully in a media because he just bullies production crew and not actors then right?

[thick arch]

What a legend 🤩, the aura

[gritty tundra]

Here

[stray hazel]

James will scream at you and berate you for 5 minutes, he did it to me and about 30 others

[daring trench]

I mean you're on a filmset so show some professionalism and keep your phone away??

[terse rain]

imo it'd be worse if he was a dick to the crew AND a horrible director

[daring trench]

It's just professionalism 😭

[stray hazel]

Our phones are work tools

[daring trench]

If he has set a rule that your phone shouldn't be used is it a work tool?

[gritty tundra]

I heard another story back then too that a girl was yelled at because she got a call from her mother

[wind adder]

Tbh even directors like Christopher Nolan and James Cameron don’t like that from what I’ve read.

[stray hazel]

I was documenting the vfx work on my iPhones database.

[daring trench]

Whats ur role

[stray hazel]

Yes he’s ok with iPads, just not iPhones. It’s silly

[daring trench]

Bc I don't wanna make a wrong assumption bc I don't know what you do

[gritty tundra]

Still though he shouldnt be so harsh about it

[terse rain]

I feel like he's one of those old heads who assumes that if you have a phone out you're doing anything other than work lol

[daring trench]

Yeah

[gritty tundra]

He could have been nicer about it

[stray hazel]

I love James work, so sorry if his nature is a hard pill to swallow but I worked with him intimately for 8 months, it’s who he is

[daring trench]

I don't think it's that deep

[craggy pawn]

I'm a huge Gunn fan but, yelling for using your work phone when that's not even disturbing the production ain't cool

[terse rain]

James Gunn being an asshole is probably the best revelation that could be had about him, considering what people accuse him off on the daily

[stray hazel]

Oh he also has his phone out and posts his selfies from set all of the time

[daring trench]

He's prob like one of those old teacher subs when you try taking a picture of the board he shouts u down thinking ur doing something else

[daring trench]

He's a director

[terse rain]

Yep exactly like my professors lol

[stray hazel]

Oh really?

[gritty tundra]

He's only nice to rich people and stars I heard

[daring trench]

No I'm just saying his authority is different

[stray hazel]

I’ve worked on 47 movies, directors lead by example 99% of the time

[wind adder]

I despise Gunn and this isn’t a big deal. The phone stuff

[daring trench]

Yeah lmao

[gritty tundra]

Despise him why?

[terse rain]

it's okay to know he's an asshole dude lol

it doesn't mean his work is bad

he's just an asshole

We can still enjoy his stuff and also acknowledge he's a dick

[daring trench]

There's a ton of dickheads in film just gotta move on lmao

[gritty tundra]

It just makes me sad.... I hope people find appreciation in production crew more often

[terse rain]

I hope so too

[civic marten]

You don’t know Gunn lol

[stray hazel]

It’s not, I was just sharing something that is an issue on his sets and people are trying to defend him, but I’m not attacking, just stating facts as opposed to speculation lol

[civic marten]

“I despite the comic book movie man grr”

Calm down Krypto lol

[unreal widget]

context?

[terse rain]

I will add though did you guys film at the GWCC? I recognized it during the scene where Supes and Ultraman were fighting @stray hazel

[daring trench]

Just wanna apologise if I made it seem like I was defending him lmao, I just thought it was plain professionalism but if his berading was unnecessary I completely understand

[stray hazel]

No but we did shoot blue beetle there when Jaime first comes home from college!

[gritty tundra]

Maybe I'm being too sensitive

[craggy pawn]

You can read the comments above

[ornate raven]

who do you guys think is that throughline he mentioned akin to rocket?

[terse rain]

Oh that's awesome

[daring trench]

Everytime ultraman was mentioned I kept thinking of Ultraman: Rising 😭

[stray hazel]

He told me that “my fucking phone had to be turned in every day from now on and I don’t get it back until wrap”. (That didn’t happen but it’s how he always ended his tirades)

[daring trench]

Who's the actress that plays Supergirl

[wind adder]

Yeah, it seems like he’s a strict director. I’m just referring to the phone policy, which some other filmmakers also have.

[civic marten]

I wasn’t there so don’t know, but is the phone rule not for spoiler purposes as much as anything else? They don’t want set leaks - obviously he’s not gonna post those selfies early, but how can you be sure someone else won’t

[craggy pawn]

Milly Alcock.. she was great in House of the dragon

[ornate raven]

milly alcock

[daring trench]

Ehhhh I can see him trying to enforce professionalism but it could've been said in a nicer way no need to swear imo

[stray hazel]

It’s an attention thing, we have to marvel at his genius at all times

[gritty tundra]

That's the thing yes

[civic marten]

That doesn’t seem true to me lol

[unreal widget]

im guessing guy, cause of his intergalactic connections, and he is the least expected for me

[gritty tundra]

People could've just been nicer

[daring trench]

OH I KNOW HER

She was on my local news

[terse rain]

That definitely sounds like a guy who's been bullied

[civic marten]

No offence but you seem to have a slight bias against the man

[terse rain]

Dude Ex has worked with him directly

[daring trench]

She's getting hella famous in Aus

[terse rain]

Pretty sure he knows him better than you do

[civic marten]

And clearly has a bone to pick lol

[daring trench]

We have produced another great actress 🙌

[gritty tundra]

More insight more like it

[civic marten]

For sure, but they sound like a slightly unreliable narrator lol

[craggy pawn]

She was also in that Netflix show Sirens which I haven't watched

[civic marten]

Believe whatever you like at face value

[gritty tundra]

I want to meet David

[stray hazel]

I’ll just stop answering questions. I worked with him for 8 months and have no reason to lie, but everyone seems to not want to believe me. I hold no ill will towards James and I love his movies, but he is a bully and treats people under him as lesser people. It’s just the way it is, I’m sure his backstory fuels this. Have a good one!

[terse rain]

We can accept that Gunn can be a dick dude lol

[civic marten]

But this is very loaded lol

[echo kraken]

Ppl don’t understand how much cloud apps and overly expensive pro apps simplified things

[daring trench]

Kevin Bacon is in that right?

[civic marten]

I’m not saying you lied, I’m saying you have a very biased perspective because he shouted at you one time

[terse rain]

Dude it wasn't just one time

[civic marten]

So of course you’re gonna have a negative review

[gritty tundra]

Argh.....

It wasn't just him too

[stray hazel]

You ignore 8 months of watching him it interact with 500 other people

[terse rain]

How can he be biased when he's literally had to deal with it multiple times lol

[daring trench]

Yeah Aus has it streaming for free purely bc she's in it

[craggy pawn]

Yes

[civic marten]

I’m not ignoring anything, I fully accept this was your experience

[terse rain]

This seems very backhanded

[stray hazel]

Then the word biased doesn’t make sense lmao

[civic marten]

It really isn’t

[daring trench]

Yeahhh my mate told me he plays some husband or something

[gritty tundra]

[civic marten]

It does, I can explain what I mean if three people aren’t gonna snap for it lol

[stray hazel]

You acknowledge I had a thorough experience with him but I’m biased because he yelled at me once? That’s a contradiction

Again I’m not mad at him

I technically broke his rule

(Although I was doing my job, he didn’t give me a moment to explain that)

[civic marten]

I fully believe he shouted at you and could be difficult to work with, but

“It’s an attention thing, we have to marvel at his genius at all times”

Feels like conjecture based on you not liking the man

Unless he has literally said that

It’s your disliking of him drawing a conclusion

[terse rain]

Ex didn't only work on this production with Gunn though

[civic marten]

I’m not doubting Ex’s experience at all lol

[daring trench]

Thank god for Milly Alcock man she is what aussie's sound like nowadays

[civic marten]

At no point have I not believed them

[daring trench]

I trust we don't ride kangaroo's and sound like crocodile Dundee

[stray hazel]

I make these statements with 8 months of facts, I’m sorry if I didn’t spend more time typing out a list of all the events that led me to my belief. I assumed one example would be sufficient given my unique experience with him

[terse rain]

Deadass Ruby just move on

[civic marten]

What have I done lol

[terse rain]

Just drop it

[civic marten]

Drop what

[stray hazel]

Fun fact: I’ve worked with many big names directors and none of them yelled at me or anyone else for any reason at all. We got thank yous and hand shakes

[civic marten]

Unless he has outright said “I want you to put your phones away and marvel at my genius” then it is conjecture based on you not liking him

[daring trench]

The school that Milly Alcock went to is sketchy and I hate it so much

[civic marten]

That’s not me disparaging you at all

[echo kraken]

This, what you’re doing, stop

[stray hazel]

(British directors are the nicest every time)

[civic marten]

It’s just the definition of what bias is

Cos I think I’m being misread here

[daring trench]

Guys I have question

[terse rain]

No let's move on

[stray hazel]

Alright, thank you all for confirming I’m not crazy speaking with this individual. Back to Superman spoilers?

[daring trench]

Whats the next dc movie after superman

[gritty tundra]

Pretend there's flowers

[civic marten]

You guys are kinda mean

[echo kraken]

Bias is a version of the story that is true ONLY to you, hence wrong to everyone else.

[daring trench]

I know peacemaker is the next show

[terse rain]

Yes please!

[daring trench]

But whats the next movie

[gritty tundra]

The authority I think?

[thick arch]

Isn’t this chat mean for discussing Superman movie?

[civic marten]

That’s not what bias means

[gritty tundra]

Or Supergirl

I'm not sure if authority is cancelled or not tbh

[stray hazel]

My friends from black panther 2 are in London working on supergirl, it’s been filming for 2 months now

[daring trench]

https://tenor.com/view/sleep-gif-12944899486400191725

[gritty tundra]

Wha??

[terse rain]

I have a question about those crazy cameras moves, I saw that Henry Braham uses a very specific rig for all the movies he films it's some sort of gimbal right?

[daring trench]

That's me when the authority comes out

[terse rain]

How are those wild dynamic camera moves done I swear it was like an animated camera

[daring trench]

I did not like the comic run at all

[civic marten]

Didn’t Supergirl start filming in January?

[gritty tundra]

Oh! Maybe the movie will be better

[echo kraken]

Distort, unfair, unjust, prejudice… that’s what you’re calling him, so stop

[daring trench]

Especially Warren Ellis's run eugh

[civic marten]

Yeah that’s different to what you said…

[thick arch]

Pacemaker s2, I think supergirl is targeting jun next year

[civic marten]

I’ve no idea why everyone is being so aggressive

[gritty tundra]

Why did you hate it

[civic marten]

I’ve only said I believe them lol

[civic marten]

That’s not… oh nvm

Crazy conclusion to draw

[stray hazel]

He utilized the “stabileye” rig for 90% of the shots, it’s literally a handheld camera that’s balanced like a steadicam. A lot of the wild shots were the volume moving more than the camera. I’ll find a clip a friend posted

[echo kraken]

You’re crazy… do I need to look up the definition of distort? You can be a jerk to someone for 10min and expect people not to be one at you.

[daring trench]

It feels like the team has no chemistry that's the main reason why, felt like they were all squished together and forced to be a squad. But that can also be akin to how impatient and not careful I am while reading 🤣

[civic marten]

How was being a jerk?

[daring trench]

I CANT WAIT FOR PEACEMAKER

[civic marten]

Can you quote me instead of using words I didn’t say

Please

[daring trench]

https://tenor.com/view/peacemaker-dance-party-hands-up-gif-24972326

[terse rain]

That explains the unique look his movies have

[gritty tundra]

Can we just moveeeeee onnnnn

[terse rain]

The way the camera moves in the movies he's the DP on is so hypnotic

[gritty tundra]

Moveeeeeeee

[thick arch]

Oh wow, the volume used here looked much better than how it was used in antman 3

[gritty tundra]

Just stop replying to each other

[terse rain]

Pretty much every shot in SUEPRMAN is like this lol

[daring trench]

Rick Flag Sr. looked so sad in the movie, poor guy lost his son 😔

[thick arch]

It’s extremely dynamic

[echo kraken]

Again? What you’ve been saying is literally “you’re wrong” but you just don’t see it. The communication is formed at the target, not at the source.

[gritty tundra]

Don't be rash.... This scene sticks out to me tbh

It's funny

[thick arch]

Bro I’m hoping they make the resolution quite emotional in S2

[civic marten]

Once again, can you quote even one thing I said instead of putting my words in my mouth? Please.

[terse rain]

Something I've maintained is that the CGI in Gunn's movies always feels like it's actually there

[gritty tundra]

Btw I heard that James will let someone else control the direction for batman, because it's not his style

[wind adder]

Imagine if Peacemaker kills Sr too💀

[terse rain]

Even if they look super CG

[daring trench]

Gonna be bawling because I knew for a fact Chris didn't wanna kill Rick Flag

[terse rain]

Like all the CG characters in his films feel like they're physically there

[gritty tundra]

It seems fitting

[terse rain]

I'm not sure if it's in the way he directs or the way the camera is but it's so relieving tbh

[daring trench]

Like peacemaker himself looked shocked when he killed rick flag

[thick arch]

The emotional payoffs for that season will be amazing if done right. Cause both Rick flag sr anger is justifiable, but also we the audience have spent time with Peacemaker and have seen the type of person he’s become

[terse rain]

Like I don't have to suspend disbelief I just believe they're there

[civic marten]

I’d be surprised if he directed many of these other than Superman or big event movies - even Peacemaker he’ll need to delegate eventually

Busy guy

[gritty tundra]

It would be ironic if it's the opposite way

[civic marten]

He’s risking burnout

[echo kraken]

I’m talking about UNDERSTANDING of your statement…. It should be apparent from Ex’s NUMEROUS reactions to you that what you THINK you are saying and what is PERCEIVED is different.

[gritty tundra]

Rick kills peacemaker instead

[civic marten]

I’m asking again, can you please quote even one thing I said?

[stray hazel]

Here’s a video of the stabileye and a cool rig they used for Superman flying shots

[thick arch]

Ngl that would be quite the twist especially if he doesn’t mean to

[austere stream]

Can yall move on from this petty drama please

[gritty tundra]

Just stop replying to each other

[austere stream]

This is a spoiler channel

[terse rain]

WOAH THAT WAS PHYSICALLY FILMED???

DUUUUDE

[gritty tundra]

What why are you surprised?

How do you think it would be filmed?

[stray hazel]

On a green screen

[terse rain]

I honestly thought a lot of the flying shots were really well done CG

[austere stream]

Most would assume greenscreen

[terse rain]

and on a green screen too yeah

[daring trench]

I know because i loved peacemaker s1 so much and grew to love peacemaker the character. I absolutely hated him in Suicide Squad, obv it was Gunn's intention for the audience to hate him because he was written to be an uptight jackass. But to see the emotional depth in Peacemaker, his childhood and how he had an abusive upbringing. Pure cinema

James Gunn you did it again

[terse rain]

The use of the volume is excellent wow

[gritty tundra]

Oh

Maybe I'm too stupid that I actually think it would be done fr lol

But in this case being stupid works out

[stray hazel]

This is how we did it on black panther, James way is much better

[wind adder]

Peacemaker also trashed Superman in the movie.

[terse rain]

I wanna know if that intro shot where we zoom in on Superman's chest and it transitions to the logo was physically filmed too

It looks like it tracks onto his chest

[thick arch]

It’s amazing to see the results of the volume when used by right folks.

[gritty tundra]

It's so..... Idk the word but I felt something looking at his chest

[daring trench]

I'm so glad they're using the LED Panels more, I think they're a million times better than green screen

[gritty tundra]

I felt.... Energised?

[daring trench]

cough cough marvel take notes cough cough

[gritty tundra]

Happy is right but that's so vague

[terse rain]

The volume works when utilized correctly

[gritty tundra]

It's incredible

It's fantastic

[sand reef]

I saw Superman last night. It was a good time, but i definitely felt sorta disappointed. For the first time, I really felt like Gunn didnt let the emotional moments sit like they should've. Im glad everyone is having such a great time with it though. I probably prefer all 3 Guardians movies and The Suicide Squad over it though.

[gritty tundra]

Or should I say... Super.... Man

[terse rain]

Will it replace traditional green screen filmmaking? I don't think so, I mean sometimes people use the volume for green screen too lol

[daring trench]

Matt Reeves used it really well

[stray hazel]

The scene with Superman and Lois talking in the apartment with the justice gang battling in the background was all volume, I had mentioned yesterday

[gritty tundra]

Wdym all volume

[daring trench]

Obv it wasn't his idea bc it came from someone from the VFX department but thank god he listened

[civic marten]

Poor Dominique strapped into all of that lol

[daring trench]

I love watching that 50 min extra 'the making of The Batman'

[stray hazel]

No, the volume only works for very specific shots and has to be well planned

[daring trench]

The way they use the volume

🤌

[gritty tundra]

Wth is volume...

[stray hazel]

You can’t walk onto a volume with a camera and be able to cover all the angles required to cut the scene

[sand reef]

What does all volume mean? Sorry im not great with all the terms for filmmaking.

[daring trench]

It's LED panels that emulate a background

[gritty tundra]

I really like Luthor

[daring trench]

So essentially they are huge walls covered in these LED panels to emulate a background

[gritty tundra]

Wowwww

[daring trench]

The first big project to use it was The Mandalorian

And Batman followed suit

[echo kraken]

Unless you can build one 10 times taller with no seams and directionality, and 100 times brighter hehehehe

[daring trench]

The Batman used it a lot, especially in roof top scenes, scenes driving the bat-bike

I know a lot about this because I'm pursuing VFX in University rn 😄

[terse rain]

Yeah that makes sense

[thick arch]

It’s what dune director use, and other directors used

[terse rain]

At my college we have a smaller volume that's used sparingly

[gritty tundra]

What software do you use

[gritty tundra]

Wowwww cool college!

[terse rain]

Yeah it was awesome

[echo kraken]

The second picture literally shows one of the biggest flaws, also it can’t do direct lightings and stuff

[stray hazel]

That’s a volume

[terse rain]

I took a class on visual effects cinematography so I know how to operate it

[gritty tundra]

Wth I paid so much money to learn animation and these mfs just make me watch yt

[terse rain]

The class was very hands on

[thick arch]

https://youtu.be/ZMynJCgJIQk?si=H3RiIn_kkzv35hEL

[daring trench]

Depends I mainly go between Autodesk, ae, houdini or nuke

[terse rain]

We got to make a bunch of shots with the volume

[gritty tundra]

Woah... Is most of the recordings happened in here

[terse rain]

We had like four assignments, two with green screen and two with the volume itself

[daring trench]

My mains are AE and houdini

[echo kraken]

That’s a cool use of it

[wind adder]

I prefer Superman because of the acting and action scenes, but I didn’t like how the humour was overdone during serious situations.

[gritty tundra]

Oooo

[daring trench]

We had ones with the volume

My professor said industry is moving away from green screens but idk if hes right ont hat

[stray hazel]

They used it to put the entire crews name on at wrap

[terse rain]

Nah the volume can't replace everything

[gritty tundra]

I wonder if James struggle with making character driven story on small amount of character because he always had so many cast

[daring trench]

Aw

[terse rain]

This is literally the coolest thing ever

[gritty tundra]

Theres a dog

Is your name on it too?

[daring trench]

Yeah my professor was just indicating it's being more commonly used

[daring trench]

I would not focus on that set at all

I would play with the dog 24/7

[gritty tundra]

Lol

[stray hazel]

These are all from my friends! I do all my movies with this team, but I was unfortunately in tv world on season 5 of Stranger Things while this was filming so I couldn’t join 😦

[echo kraken]

Heh, a completely valid use of the kit… but yeah… trying to incorporate any direct lighting into it is a massive pain…

[gritty tundra]

Season 5?!

[terse rain]

NOOOO

[gritty tundra]

You are going places

[stray hazel]

Yep!

[daring trench]

What happens 😄

Jks

[gritty tundra]

Is the pay good?

[terse rain]

They just film like everything is Georgia now

I recognize Atlanta in so many films now that I've lived here for like 4 years

[stray hazel]

Haha, I don’t even want to say what tone to expect

[daring trench]

Atlanta chatttt

[gritty tundra]

It must be hard....

To travel all the time

[stray hazel]

Yeah it’s standard across the board except with Marvel, they are cheap

[terse rain]

Universal set up shop near here a bit ago and Lionsgate opened a studio I had no idea existed until we drove past it once going home 😭

[gritty tundra]

I can't imagine living like that

[daring trench]

And we can see that with what they produce 😄

[gritty tundra]

Marvel? Really? Wowww

[thick arch]

Marvel Disney be taking Ls lol

[daring trench]

Skimp on workers you get crap quality

[gritty tundra]

This is Disney's doing

[daring trench]

Good job disney

[daring trench]

Fr

[echo kraken]

At least you have onset days, I heard the contracts in for the houses are apparently slave labor level.

[daring trench]

Bunch of jittleyang's and fuhulatoogans

[terse rain]

No clue what they were doing near our college but I won't question it

[stray hazel]

yep, when its up go to the Fantastic Four spoiler channel, I worked the NY unit of that and will elaborate lol

[thick arch]

👀👀👀👀

fantastic 4!!!

[gritty tundra]

Arhhhh but I don't plan to see fantastic four on cinema....

[daring trench]

Being a VFX artist in Australia..

[thick arch]

I’ve already got tickets for that

[gritty tundra]

Bunch of whaaaa

[stray hazel]

Im as fed up with marvel as the next person, but F4 turned out pretty good

[wind adder]

F4 seems pretty interesting

[gritty tundra]

It does

[thick arch]

I’d say see it in Cinema, Galactus in big screen will be cool to see

[daring trench]

And most big production company's outsourcing their VFX from companies in Australia 😤

At least I don't have to leave the country

Thank you lord

[terse rain]

I've been working in animation for about a year now and haven't gotten paid really much at all 💀 I'm 22 years old

[gritty tundra]

I'll take your word for it perhaps

[echo kraken]

Oh they shot real New York days, neat

[thick arch]

Like where would you put it between in terms of phase 4-5 projects

[stray hazel]

Galactus was 100% of my job, I'll elaborate further when its out

[daring trench]

Why did my msg js get deleted

Oh sike I accidentally pressed shift

💀

[stray hazel]

im sorry i dont even know whats in the phases, lol.

[thick arch]

Yo thank you for making Galactus look bad ass, dude looks like he’s got hella cities all over his body

[daring trench]

I'm finishing my degree this yr and have work experience lined up in ILM rn

[stray hazel]

we filmed from boats, drones, rooftops and helicopters all over Manhattan for him

[gritty tundra]

Did you also work for thunderbolt

[daring trench]

Hopefully they offer me a job bc the manager head rlly likes me

[gritty tundra]

I heard that one of the filming took place in Malaysia! My home country!

[terse rain]

Just like VFX, animation gets outsourced to like every country on the planet but studios are starting to contract US studios, mainly the smaller independent ones though

[stray hazel]

nope, that was running simulanteously with live action Moana i was working on last year

[echo kraken]

Can’t wait, newest trailer looks … intriguing

[gritty tundra]

I dread the sexist reviews

[daring trench]

Animators 🤝 VFX artists

[terse rain]

I forgot that was happening

[terse rain]

Live action Moana

[gritty tundra]

This Alfa started filming?!

Already*

[stray hazel]

4 months of two people on a boat against a blue screen, it was mind numbing

[terse rain]

Oh my god

[gritty tundra]

Can't believe they went on with it

[daring trench]

The type of shit you'd see in 2020 on a Zoom call, 8:00am in the morning tryna get out of this fuck ahh class 😂

[echo kraken]

Somehow figured that lol

[stray hazel]

and the rock looks fucking stupid (i think theres pap photos online)

[gritty tundra]

Yes there is

Speaking of bim

How is he irl?

Is it like what people say?

[stray hazel]

did 4 movies with him, always late but super nice

[thick arch]

Whose bim?

[gritty tundra]

Him

[terse rain]

My professor was an animator on the original Lilo and Stitch and was telling us about a student of his who was working on the Live action remake, he looked so sad in his eyes 😭

[daring trench]

Yes who is him

[stray hazel]

the b is below the h, it happens lol

[thick arch]

Oh the rock?

[daring trench]

I thought he meant like an actual rock

[crude sleet]

Haven't seen it yet but did you guys notice that the film was supposed to follow a "day of the week" format

[terse rain]

I saw those he looks like a rhino

[thick arch]

Can’t wait to see his a24 movie

[terse rain]

It's so funny

[gritty tundra]

I didn't expect the super nice part. Because all I heard is that he is rude and arrogant on set. Or something like that. I even heard he peed in a bottle or something

[terse rain]

He could've just been regular buff

He would've been fine

Why the bodysuit 😭

[daring trench]

Icl I don't like the rock but it seems like he's reinventing his career

[stray hazel]

oh no, im not sure where you heard that. hes literally never mean, nicest guy, nothing shakes him. always smiling and friendly

[thick arch]

The A24 movie he’s in loooks so peak

[daring trench]

My respect for him went out of the window when he was trying to 'CHANGE THE DC UNIVERSE FOREVER'

[terse rain]

I mean

He did

💀

[stray hazel]

like i said i did 4 movies with the guy, and ive never seen him get annoyed or angry

[daring trench]

He caused a reboot

[gritty tundra]

Well he's one of the reason it happened

[daring trench]

Which is more than I could ever ask for

[wind adder]

Rock is coming for the Oscar

[gritty tundra]

But it would have happened eventually

[daring trench]

Thank you father dwayne

[terse rain]

Yeah he changed the hierarchy of the DC universe forever

[gritty tundra]

Thanks to James

[terse rain]

In that James Gunn is now the head of the hierarchy

[gritty tundra]

[daring trench]

What if that was his game plan all along

[terse rain]

That's nice to hear

Did you work on Red One?

[gritty tundra]

Are we just fools then?

[daring trench]

Bro icl they should keep the casting for black adam

Not the rock as black adam

But the other characters

[terse rain]

Keep him as Black Adam it would be incredibly funny

[gritty tundra]

But...

No....

[terse rain]

Literally it would be the funniest thing on earth

[gritty tundra]

Black Adam have to lose sometimes

[daring trench]

Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher worked really well

whoops

[terse rain]

I cannot imagine what a The Rock DC Universe would look like, he was set to be the next head of it too which is crazy

[daring trench]

They wasted such a good cast

[gritty tundra]

I forgot my opinion about him honestly

[terse rain]

We'd probably get something like DC Super Pets again

[daring trench]

YOU GOT PIERCE BROSNAN DOCTOR FATE

[terse rain]

Where the Rock was in the movie 3 times

[gritty tundra]

Haaaa?

[daring trench]

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-let-him-cook-cook-cooking-breaking-bad-gif-27522167

[gritty tundra]

Lol

[daring trench]

And they fricking wasted it

[stray hazel]

[gritty tundra]

Maybe with James Gunn he'll come back

[gritty tundra]

What are these.....!

[terse rain]

So in the movie he plays Krypto and then at the end Black Adam shows up in a cameo also voiced by the rock and then his dog shows up also voiced by the Rock it's actually divine comedy

[daring trench]

And the rock of course compared the red one to oppenheimer

What a clearly humble man

[stray hazel]

Wrap stickers on my camera case

[gritty tundra]

Blue beetle sticker

[gritty tundra]

Hahaahaha

[gritty tundra]

How....?

[daring trench]

Idk hopefully gunn keeps pierce brosnan as doctor fate

[gritty tundra]

Maybe not as fate

[daring trench]

Only issue is he's expensive

[gritty tundra]

I'll say zatarra

[daring trench]

Have you not seen the vid

[terse rain]

https://tenor.com/view/its-just-incredible-ellen-chang-for3v3rfaithful-its-incredible-its-insane-gif-25030217

[gritty tundra]

No

[stray hazel]

This is the Superman wrap sticker

[daring trench]

He saw oppenheimer and wanted to film the red one in IMAX

[gritty tundra]

I want it

Send it over

[gritty tundra]

Is he directing the movie or something

[daring trench]

No ofc not

But he's the rock

He gets to provide input in everything he does

[gritty tundra]

Of course

[terse rain]

I wonder how Jake Kasdan is as a director considering I did like Jumanji but found Red One really....meh lol

[daring trench]

He was a producer so he can do what he wants lmao

[gritty tundra]

How is pierce handsome as an old man damn

[daring trench]

As long as the money keeps coming

[gritty tundra]

Life shouldn't be this way

Old people are not supposed to be attractive

[daring trench]

I was about to mention that

I'm straight but gah damn

[gritty tundra]

Me too

[daring trench]

Mans has kept himself sharp and he's in his 70s

[gritty tundra]

It's this jealousy I swear

[daring trench]

😭

I hope I'm like him when I'm 72

[gritty tundra]

To do that I have to sleep early

And it's 2 am

[stray hazel]

hes annoying lol

[daring trench]

No wonder they made him 007

Look at the guy

[gritty tundra]

Todaloo

[stray hazel]

Jake has no vision, he shoots so much coverage and has everyone do it every different way so that he can find a movie in the edit

[terse rain]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/269629495663788032/1392230391217258646/ishowspeed-ishowspeed-ballon-dor.gif

I knew it dude 😭

[gritty tundra]

Wait whattt

[stray hazel]

hes a nice guy, nothing wrong with him as a person. just annoying to work with lol

[gritty tundra]

He just.... Goes with the flow?

[terse rain]

I KNEWWWWW IT

[stray hazel]

its sadly 90% of directors these days

[gritty tundra]

He sounds like me

Heheh

[stray hazel]

they just overshoot and hope to find it in the edit, this is often due to studio interference too

[terse rain]

Jake Kasdan son or James Gunn Daughter

[daring trench]

Kasdan's portfolio in the last 10 years is all corporate fueled movies

💀

Corporate director final boss

[gritty tundra]

So there's a lot of unused footage then?

[stray hazel]

id say of the 30+ directors i worked with, 5 of them had a very clear vision

[terse rain]

Only studio blockbuster that didn't feel like this to me was Thunderbolts 💀

[daring trench]

Who were?

[terse rain]

From like the last year

[stray hazel]

let me chekc

[terse rain]

This is probably how Minecraft was

[stray hazel]

let me check my imdb, i dont want to fuck it up lol

[daring trench]

Thunderbolts felt so concise if you know what I mean?

Like it knew what it wanted to do

There was no waffle

[gritty tundra]

I want to be a director one day

[wind adder]

Thunderbolts deserved better. Damn good film.

[daring trench]

Like it didnt open 1000 other windows for other films like every other marvel film

[gritty tundra]

Hopefully as I grew I still keep this feeling to make it easy for the crews

[daring trench]

It came, it saw, conquered and ran away

A beauty

[terse rain]

Thunderbolts was also way better color graded than most MCU fare

[stray hazel]

@daring trench Joe Wright, Steven Spielberg, Ryan Coogler, James Gunn, and Derek Cianfrance are the 5 most efficient organized directors ive worked with

[gritty tundra]

Funny I haven't seen it

[terse rain]

It was just relieving to watch a movie that wasn't backlit from every direction

[terse rain]

RYAN COOGLER MY GOAT

[gritty tundra]

Never heard of Derek

[stray hazel]

he does very heavy drama, powerful stuff

[gritty tundra]

Probably why I haven't

Well bye now

I was supposed to go an hour ago

This is why I'll turn out ugly when I'm 70

[wind adder]

He directed The Place Beyond the Pines

[echo kraken]

I can’t imagine what goes on Spielberg’s minds… from what I gathered from friends who’s worked with him… dude literally has the whole film shot and edited in his head at all times… and any real shot stuff just replaces the imaginary ones

[daring trench]

I love Ryan Coogler he seems so chill

[terse rain]

Derek did sound of metal

[daring trench]

I already know Ryan coogler and Michael b Jordan fw each other so heavy

Guy casts him in almost every movie he makes 😂😂

If he can’t most of the time it’s because he’s unavailable

[daring trench]

Are you talking about directing or???

[stray hazel]

he walks into a room, takes a lens on a finder, and walks around, says what every shot he wants is, then he leaves and his DP (same one since jurassic park) makes it happen. Its fucking wild how insync they are using almost no words

[daring trench]

Thought his name was Darius not Derek?

[stray hazel]

he wrote it, but passed on directing, but it still has his feel

[terse rain]

Yeah

[terse rain]

Oh wait really??

Damn Google lied to me lol

[terse rain]

This is insane woah

[daring trench]

Yeah he did darius marder directed it

[stray hazel]

I worked with him on "I Know This Much is True" its an HBO miniseries with Mark Ruffalo playing twins

[daring trench]

He’s a small time director only done a handful of projects

[terse rain]

Isn't Spielberg doing a UFO film?

[daring trench]

He also worked on the place beyond the pines but as a director

[stray hazel]

small time isnt the word id use, but i understand your context lol

meant that for the other comment

[daring trench]

YES SORRY

[stray hazel]

yes, The Dish, it shot in Jersey and is already wrapped

[daring trench]

No disrespect to Marder

I would rather use the term quiet

Because he writes more than he directs

And he’s also an Oscar nominee

Also isn’t he an editor?

[stray hazel]

hes one of those over the top artistic types, when he comes to filmmaking he only cares about actor performance. he has no monitors on set, just his hand held, he doesnt call rolls or cuts, and the crew has to crouch or get off set when shooting. he also films a scene he writes in that he will film whats on the page, but keep rolling to film what the character would do before and after the scene too, its very organic style

[daring trench]

So he has a very hands on approach?

[stray hazel]

I just realized this is so far from Superman, im sorry to the mods lol

[daring trench]

😭😭

[echo kraken]

I’ve heard… dude is a machine. One of the actors said that they can ask any questions on the scene and he’d tell you what happened before and after that, and is pretty sure he would know what the character had for breakfast lol

[stray hazel]

is saying Nicholas is my favorite Lex a too soon statement? because i really enjoyed hating him lol

[terse rain]

Oh no not at all

[daring trench]

Bringing it back to DC

[terse rain]

His Lex is the most hater coded lex ever

[daring trench]

I would like to see Riz Ahmed take on a role

Him listing off Injustice combos while talking about his undying hatred for Superman was incredible

[daring trench]

But I think he has trauma from playing Carlton Drake in venom

So he’d probably pass

Never in my life have I seen a bigger hater

Straight aura farm the first half of the film

Then he got bitched in the end

[terse rain]

Hoult was the most hater coded Lex thus far

[daring trench]

Did a damn good job tho

[terse rain]

That scene where he's crying as he realizes he's toast before he focuses his full hatred on Superman

Also creature commando’s is linked to the dcu correct?

[echo kraken]

Surprisingly accurate, at least on character parts, to the comic Luthor… I did enjoy the “team handling” parts though, that’s absolutely new and riffs on the charismatic tech-oligarchs archetype that really didn’t exist before Steve Jobs, and really got pumped up in the post-Facebook era.

(Trying hard to not make a comparison to Elon Musk right now lol)

[terse rain]

Please tell me this is true https://x.com/kyl0ooart/status/1944088336924389530?t=xLCb5Ot5ta9A84Fl9X2JfQ&s=19

According to James Gunn the reason he used Fighting game notations is because he hated fighting superman in injustice 1

[echo kraken]

It’s one of the things that really made me like this version of Luthor, honestly, that while he’s a visionary, he had to have a massive team to make shit happen. Most of the other times we see him, and even in Marvel stuff, we just see the front-person, not the upper machineries (I’m sure there are an army of grunt-level workers on each of the consoles we see in the controls room too)… having a bit of of peeling back of the curtains is kinda awesome.

[echo kraken]

The charismatic puppy eyes were so good… so good

[sharp hearth]

Finally get to watch this tomorrow

It'll be super, man

[terse rain]

He also knew that the rift would wreck Metropolis. He didn't do it recklessly, he didn't do it because he didn't know what would happen. He did it because he knew it would get Superman to come out. He did it on purpose.

He would sacrifice a whole city of people just to own Superman

It almost poetic

Just an excellent version of the character

[echo kraken]

What are you doing in a spoiler group then? Go away! (Jk, after watching the film I don’t think there’s really much story-wise that can be spoiled… the film flows more like an experience).

[stray hazel]

i fucking loved that part lol

[echo kraken]

I do love that everyone thought he’s trying to be king, but his real game is getting rid of Supe.
I know I shouldn’t Snyderverse, but the Ultimate Cut of BvS’s version of Luthor, and this Luthor, had the same deep motivations… and that part is so deeply rooted in the comics.

[civic marten]

Not just a city, the world

[echo kraken]

Best move is often the simplest hehe

[civic marten]

Fucking idiot (compliment)

[stray hazel]

I loved the detail of 1A the standard punch being the first in the code list

[echo kraken]

Absolutely, I actually had a small moment in theater when I realized that mid-repeated commands lol

[echo kraken]

Everyone hated that moment, when a normal fighting game became Soulslike for a single boss bwahaha

[thick arch]

A team that also loves his vision. It’s not like they are being held against there will. They seem to love the fellow.

it’s also kinda realistic, lex being comically evil and still having a team of normal looking people that enable him

[austere stream]

@hollow citrus

[echo kraken]

The “code” guy and the “flying release” guy were actually on his “best interest” most of the time too… I can’t stress how a simple decision to make the villain not “alone” changes the character dynamic so much [pushes pen in mug off the table]

[chilly vortex]

The fucking Twitter hate comment monkeys had the whole screen laughing

[hollow citrus]

Thank you!!!

[echo kraken]

Not enough of that in movies honestly… I mean even Groot had his Minions right? Ehehe

[echo kraken]

I love that the movie wrapped them up too and freed them at the end… I was super sad when that happened on screen actually.

[golden frost]

Can’t believe Lois and Mr Terrific caused a rift destroying a portion of Metropolis because they kept the portal open too long

[stray hazel]

Yeah I was digging the “no civilian deaths” thing, so watching all those buildings crumble from the rift felt weird to me

I imagined Ben Affleck running around the streets saving people again unfortunately

[echo kraken]

I don't think it was really them... Luthor could've collapsed it anytime.
They made the rift start, but Luthor is still the one that decided to let it go on.

[golden frost]

This movie does rehash aspects of MoS and BvS

The whole city destruction and the world turning on Superman feeling he is here to dictate humanity

Hoults Lex Luthor is basically Batfleck and Eisenluthor personas combined

[echo kraken]

I don't want to personally use the word "rehash" but I agree it really takes its sources from a LOT of Superman and DC lore.
But that's also waht made it fun for me... I mean, I knew who Ultraman was before the reveal, but the reveal still made me go "Hey! Shoutout to GENE HACKMAN and Superman 4", you know? It's put together extremely well, regardless of how you feel about the joke-tones.

[echo kraken]

You know it's a compelling villain when "he's actually right, just that his methodology is a bit flawed"

[golden frost]

It does rehash the hatred for Superman from Lex and Batfleck I saw in BvS

[echo kraken]

Again, not really want to use the word "rehash", but that's a DEEP part of Lex Luthor in the comics... he's into power and control, and that extend to his views on humanity in general... If humanity isn't in control of its own destiny, he has nothing to control himself, as part of humanity... I donno if that makes any sense.
Eisenluthor and Batflec functions as opposite sides of the same coin in BvS, and I really appreciate how the Ultimate Cut spent most of its extensions on Eisenluthor... fleshing out that character really fixed the Batman-leaning imbalance of the film's theatrical cut.

[golden frost]

In BvS they do establish where Eisenluthor’s hate for Superman comes from

[jagged hawk]

I loved how technologically advanced Superman was, given that it's the origin movie. Lex Luthor legit developed reptors, metahuman which could change shapes, clone of the superman and most importantly a pocket dimension.

[echo kraken]

Right, and the Ultimate Cut spent more time on him and bridged his monologue on evolutionary dead-end to his willingness to use alien tech to fuck Supe up.
It's a superior cut, by a long shot, to the Theatrical.

And again, both Eiseinluthor and Lexhoult strikes true to the character in the comics... It's the one part of Geneluthor that always felt off for me.

[golden frost]

“No man in the sky intervened when I was a boy to deliver me from daddy’s fists and abominations”

What was the inspiration for EisenLuthor tho

In terms of mannerisms and characterization

[echo kraken]

MMhmm.. and how CLOSE we are at Kryptonian tech BECAUSE of Luthor, and how close behind Mr. Terrific is, who's mainly stuck on moral/ethics concerns heeh.

[echo kraken]

I REALLY like the Ultimate Cut Eisenluthor myself... he's super whiny in the Theatrical Cut, sadly.

I hate to admit it, but the motivation of Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor, despite Christopher Reeves being my favorite Superman/Clark Kent mix, was off, compared to Eisenluthor and Lexhoult... the portrayal is way different, but both have deep anger issues and deep mistrust of Superman and Aliens.... again, same as comics.

[golden frost]

I’m surprised this movie even addressed the whole Superman killing thing

[golden frost]

Wasn’t Hackman and Spacey Luthor motivation just straight up real estate?

[echo kraken]

No CIVILIAN deaths.

[spiral ferry]

I fucking LOVED this movie

[golden frost]

That’s not what I was referring to lol

[spiral ferry]

I think it may be my favourite dc movie

[echo kraken]

Part of it, the parts that's RIGHT is that he's interested in MONEY... but the parts that are OFF is that what the comic version (and both newer movie Lex) isn't interested in money itself, but POWER... and Gene Hackman's version is constantly WANTING to prove that he's a genius, and get praise for it... while Eisenluthor and Lexhoult KNOWS they are the smartest person in the room.

[echo kraken]

Spacey's motivations I can't fully remember.... but I think he's more like... Legacy... and to revenge for the tarnishment that Superman caused on his reputation and again legacy (ignoring that he was FOILED by Superman for to his own megalomania and manipulations)... IIRC Spacey's Luthor thinks he's ABOVE the humanity in general? I think he might be the only one to fully express that.

[golden frost]

Either way

The other Lex Luthor’s have better motivations I’d say

[austere stream]

Id disagree on that
Loved this Lex way more than the others

Eisenberg gave like his worst performance ever as Lex

[echo kraken]

I think they are both about equal in motivation, but Lexhoult is more nuanced, it's subjective which you like more.

[austere stream]

Hoult was my favourite performed and written Lex

[echo kraken]

You should check the Ultimate Cut out if you can endure it... his sort of descent to madness was way more gradual in that cut.
The theatrical version just took him from slightly mad to full bonkers in 15min lol.

[austere stream]

I did
Did not like the movie any more at all

ZSJL is a much more effective director's cut

[echo kraken]

Fair

[echo kraken]

Way better, agreed, but still not GREAT... and shit it was loooooong

[echo kraken]

I PERSONALLY feel that each modern Lex Luthor from all the way back to Gene Hackman, including Lois and Clark but excluding Smallville, focused on a narrow spectrum of what the Lex Luthor character is all about... and Hoult is the most complete picture of the character to date, imo, taking account a lot of the character's previous comic book and movie arcs... and modernized it.

[golden frost]

Superman and Lois I’d say has the best Lex Luthor

[echo kraken]

Excellent Luthor, but by serial standards, sort of short... and I'm pissed it got cancelled.. .because the season 4 finale was bonkersome (bokers+awesome).
Tyler is one of the few portrayals that I though was good BOTH as Superman and as Clark Kent.

[jagged hawk]

Capturing The Element Man (or what the name is) and creating kryptonite was definitely cool.

[echo kraken]

Element Man (originally Metamorpho) in Justice Gang (soon to be renamed to Justice League no doubt lol), makes me super nerd-happy... James Gunn is one of the best at digging into minor characters to add color to the stories... now... someone figure out how to add Metal Men to the DC Cinematic Universe bwahaha. There were rumors that they were gonna do an animated before Gunn took over, I'm assuming the project is dead now

[jagged hawk]

Maybe Gunn decides to make a spin-off show, you never know what's going on in his mind.

I loved how they showed Supergirl in the end drunk saying she goes to different planets to get drunk, that was hilarious

[austere stream]

Cannot wait for her film next year

[echo kraken]

One slight bit of forced exposition that I felt doesn't have to be explained... the Super-bots should know Kryptonian physiologies enough to know that they need a more depowered star to be able to get drunk lol... minor gripes obv.

Sorry to nerd out a bit more... but the casting of Louisa Krause, even though only for a single shot, as Sapphire Stagg, Rex Mason (Element Man/Metamorpho's) love interest and the mother of Joseph (Joey) Mason... yeah... happy nerd

[jagged hawk]

I remembered the emmy/ golden globes event where Milly was presenting the award with rest of the cast and she was so drunk and wasted, it was so hilarious. I remembered that moment and maybe laughed too hard at that scene.

[heady lance]

Yo

[jagged hawk]

Oh that's a good observation!

[echo kraken]

Did anyone feel that her costume didn't fit right? As it was a little big or something? Obviously, super minor gripes like everything.

[heady lance]

So, what is the deal with Superman's kryptonian parents

Is lex just lying

[echo kraken]

I'm sure there are even more parts of the message that wasn't fixed or whatever.

[jagged hawk]

obviously he doctored the video

I think so though

[heady lance]

He never said he did

[jagged hawk]

maybe her outfit was meant to be in a trashy way since she was drunk and stuff. So her clothes/ outfit being a mess

[jagged hawk]

yes but I assume maybe in some way the video was doctored to make superman a world wide villain. I mean lex had all the best resources in the world to make anything possible. But that's just my assumption at this point.

[heady lance]

Oh, is it me, or is Mr terrific's ship the same as Starlord's ship from gotg

[echo kraken]

No, the film explicitly states that it was authentic... my point is that there's probably more to the message that wasn't recovered, so it's an easy fix.
It also adds to the emotional depth of Superman is Human at the end, watching his adopted parents' footage instead of at the beginning with his biological parents' recordings...
I know I know, nurture vs nature blah blah blah, but I liked that minor twist at the end.

[jagged hawk]

as I said in this

[echo kraken]

Starlord's ship isn't as round as the T-craft

[jagged hawk]

maybe like he analysed the video and mixed the words at a different place in one sequence?

so it looked like authentic

[echo kraken]

I know what you mean, but I think Luthor GENUINELY didn't touch the footage, he's too big of an egomaniac not to take advantage of it in all the RECOVERED form... but there were skips in the recording that could've had words recovered at a later date to alter the message.

[civic marten]

Tbh I do think it’s meant to be the real footage

Luthor has no reason to lie to the Boravian guy

And the ending of the film signifies that it’s Gunn’s intention

[jagged hawk]

yeah there is a genuine possibility of this alteration

[jagged hawk]

The Borovain Guy was actually Luthor's puppet as they had the deal for half the land to of Jarhanpur to Luthor I'm exchange of 80 billion of arms

[austere stream]

I liked the look of it, didnt feel this myself

[echo kraken]

Luthor is one of those that, when he admits a mistake, he admits it... then he gets up and do something about it... NOT altering the message in whatever the form The Engineer was able to recover, boosts his ego by allowing to say that "see? I was right all along!"... the opposite doesn't make sense... he thinks too highly of himself to doctor footage... he's going to cheat, but he's not one to alter truth.

[austere stream]

It wasnt doctored

It was real

[jagged hawk]

Is there any current slate of DC movies announced?

[austere stream]

That is made very clear

[civic marten]

Right, so why would Luthor lie to him

[austere stream]

Its also very thematically important that its real

[civic marten]

Boravian guy assumed the message was fake and Luthor corrected him

Luthor has a huge ego, he wouldn’t pass up on the credit

[echo kraken]

But there were gaps in there, that by inserting a few well placed words here and there, by saying The Engineer didn't have a perfect recovery, could easily alter the message to be positive again.

Actually, knowing how Gunn operates... I have no doubt the full message was already written, if not shot, before the "recovered" version that we saw on the screen was made.

[jagged hawk]

maybe in the future movies this is gonna be an interesting point of discussion, the real footage which got lost in transmission and what it really meant.

[thick arch]

It works wether it’s doctored or not though, the key is lex turning people against Superman. The key theme at the end is Clark showing us he’s human. I felt the whole el family, Kent family thing didn’t fit so great cause it didn’t seem like Clark struggled with that specific conflict a lot during the movie. We are fed 3 main scenes the beginning, the middle where el message is fully revealed, then climax and end shot.

[jagged hawk]

Supergirl too would have arrived on a different pod from Krypton right

[austere stream]

It isnt doctored at all

There isnt any ambiguity imo

[thick arch]

Yes and the theme works wether it’s doctored or not

[echo kraken]

I thought it worked well… it’s the place he goes for comfort, and that’s the only think he relies on Pa and Ma for, and the only place that he gets to be a “little kid” again.

[thick arch]

It would have been nice to see him struggle a little more to cement that there was some internal conflict within him regarding that. I also could have missed subtle cues

when watching

[jagged hawk]

The ending where he just watched the soothing memories of Kent Family was a big change in his opinion of his real parents because of the video released by Luthor.

[echo kraken]

I didn’t even recognize Pruitt Taylor Vince as Pa until the porch scene and his iconic eye-dashing lol… then I thought “holy smokes he got old”… then they showed the ending with him younger and without old man makeup… lol

[fallen solar]

This was good, but nothing overly special. Still very James Gunn, the pacing was solid, and it was so nice to have such a colourful superhero film that wasn't just all grey and brown. The casting was great all round, and it really felt like a film properly within it's shared universe, rather than a solo venture.
I think my major gripe would be that it's a very Superman heavy film, in that, we didn't get to see much of Clark. I would have liked more of him and Lois at the Daily Planet, and a bit more of the disguise, as it were.
Score deffo needs a listen on it's own.

[echo kraken]

A bit predictable, but super well put together, good focus on everyone, great message and heart.

[fallen solar]

Predictable or logical? Because those are two different things.

[echo kraken]

True, we only got one “public nerd journalist Clark” sequence, and 3 inner-circles Clark sequences… slightly pervy geeky Journalist Clark Kent was the major highlight for Christopher Reeves’ Superman for me.

[civic marten]

It’s a superhero movie, I don’t come to them for big surprises lol

Predictable is in the DNA

Good guy is gonna beat the bad guy

Good odds on a sky beam or a big hole

[civic marten]

I agree that I’d have liked more Clark and Lois btw

More journalist stuff generally

[fallen solar]

yeah, bit journalism lite

[thick arch]

Lex is a manipulator, some evidence is people pointing, “well Mr terrific said he trusts the scientists that reviews it there so it must be real” lex is extremely intelligent. We seem him manipulate events throughout the film, Bolvaria conflict…etc which many other in universe miss.

I’d argue his resolution still hold’s meaning if the footage of his parent’s colonization subplot is doctored or not, when looking at Superman being a literal and metaphorical “illegal alien” he’s is misunderstood and manipulated by media and public opinion via lex to try and dehumanize him. That dialogue at the end hits just as hard. We are in an era where people take videos and clips add their own voice overs…etc to screw “immigrants” over. It may or may not have been intentional but that angle makes it feel more rich.

[echo kraken]

Predictable, but that’s because I sort of knows how Gunn operates…. There’s a lot of deep cuts, that he dig and draw from… if you know what they are, it’s not hard to guess what’s the next step for the characters. But it’s what I expected, make me nerd-happy, not Shakespeare-nerd-happy, if I make any sense? lol

[fallen solar]

We never got confirmation of the translation though. Sure, the video might be real, but who on Earth understands Kyrptonian other than the robots in the Fortress?

[thick arch]

It would have been nice to see Clark see the undubbed video to confirm it

[fallen solar]

might be a deleted scene?

[echo kraken]

“Thirty linguists can’t be wrong” hehe… and I mean, they got the first bit right word on word… and they didn’t know what it was

[thick arch]

it would be more heart breaking then just seeing a video dubbed by a already shady Luthercorp+lex

[heady lance]

I'm gonna say it, hypno-glasses is stupid

[echo kraken]

Maybe Supergirl will fill in more info, we’ll see

[echo kraken]

I think that’s a joke at Guy Gardner’s expense

[thick arch]

My understanding is supergirl supposed to adapt, woman of tomorrow or something like that. I wonder if they’d have enough time, especially if it doesn’t take place on earth

[echo kraken]

It’s also a deep cut to old Golden Age Superman, where he uses “Superhypnosis” to make people not see him as Superman

[heady lance]

Nah, gunn confirmed it

This was brilliant

[austere stream]

It was called Woman of Tomorrow initially

I dont know anything about the comic run but im so hyped for the film

[civic marten]

Except Lois knew about them too

[thick arch]

Same I think it will be much more character focused and raw

Isnt she dealing with depression plus other darker issues in that run?

[echo kraken]

She was already a teen when Clark was born, but due to the dilation effect (different in different iterations of Supergirl) she arrived later than Superman, who became older… classic Twins Paradox.

[austere stream]

Had to take a break but im watching the 1984 Supergirl

Helen Slater has such a cute presence to her portrayal

[echo kraken]

I personally takes her reactions of “yeah” like how I would react to a Flat Earther when I don’t want to argue about it with them…

[echo kraken]

Yup, Canon, but not part of the glasses, it’s part of Superman’s Golden Age skillsets hehe

[echo kraken]

Love it that he used it, I didn’t know he confirmed it… I don’t follow much IRL on filmmakers normally

[echo kraken]

If the original creators had an answer to a longstanding question, why not use it no matter how absurd it is right? It’s awesome that they dig deep.

[heady lance]

I think gunn's thing is adding a bunch of obscure references from the comics into his films, like the robots for example

[echo kraken]

Makes me happy… his fan services are on point, ngl

[heady lance]

I'm dissatisfied though the fortress of solitude didn't have a giant key that only Superman can lift to enter

[echo kraken]

RIGHT?!? heheeh

Though, I mean they have Ultraman

And no fighting in slightly slow-motion on the moon, sad bwahaha

Merging Nuclear Man's origins into Ultraman... again... makes me happy

heheehehehehehehe

Movie made me giddy as a schoolboy, and I haven't felt that on a DC film forever

[heady lance]

I think ultraman was in Superman red son

[echo kraken]

Alternative universe evil Superman, from the original Pre-Crisis (on Infinite Earths) Earth... 2? 3? Forgot

He gets more powerful when he gets in contact with green kryptonite, and he ||snorts|| it like a drug lol

I think in his universe, Krypton wasn't distroyed, and he was raised by Zod when he took out his parents? something like that... been a while

I am not super up to date on post-New 52, so I don't know his origins and whatnot in the newest comics... and I'm way too lazy to google it right now lol

[heady lance]

No, it was an elseworld story where Superman landed in the soviet union instead of Smallville

[echo kraken]

No, that's Red Son, a Soviet Superman with a sicle and hammer on his chest if I rememebered right... which is late Silver-age... the character Ultraman predates that, from early Silver-age

[heady lance]

Oh right, sorry

[echo kraken]

Not your fault, Silver Age and Bronze Age are super confusing, I get it all wrong a lot of times too... and I was already a teen when they did Death of Superman lol

[echo kraken]

Defo, nobody leaves shoots like this without "I'm gonna take this, ok?" questions hehe

[thick arch]

Yeah, I do lowkey wish they’d have used a real dog. Wonder what the limitations with doing mixed real dog and cgi would have been

Yeah, definitely more Clark Kent in the next one

But we’ve seen superman and it works, I’m happy to see a wholesome superhero movie for once
