loll

Seanny One Ball 10-09-2018 04:54 PM

Suicide Squad 2 is going to be good now. Hah!

Damian Rey 2.0 10-09-2018 05:27 PM

Lmao

RP 10-09-2018 06:03 PM

Now Suicide Squad 2 will have a ton of child fucking in it.

Savio 10-09-2018 06:17 PM

Funniest post I read all day.

Smart move by DC

Damian Rey 2.0 10-09-2018 07:25 PM

Really is. Capitalize on the attention and buzz this'll create, get a noted, named filmmaker into the studio and hand him the reigns to the movie you originally created to ape the success of the two movies he was behind.

Brilliant really. Here's hoping SS2 is amaze balls.

RP 10-09-2018 07:52 PM

It's gonna be tough to explain why he likes child groins, but if you're DC, you gotta go for it!

ClockShot 10-09-2018 08:11 PM

Well, if he's going to improve on the first one by like...…..everything, good move by Warner Bros./DC.

Just, keep Zach Snyder away.

Damian Rey 2.0 10-09-2018 09:33 PM

Zack Snyder will get producer credit and his blind fanboys will pretend he was a huge part of the movie and still the lifeblood of the DCEU that he created and singlehandedly destroyed.

He's not that bad. He nailed Wonder Woman. I thought BMvSM was ok. I thought Justice League was ok. Both those movies were held up against Marvel and kind of unfairly judged. They are not great, but they were not terrible.

300 is a great movie and 300: Rise of The Empire is very underrated.

Dawn of the Dead was pretty well done too. Not amazing, but it was respectable.

He didn't have shit to do with Wonder Woman other than helping with the story. It's Patty Jenkins' movie.

BvS was, objectively, a piss poor film with no direction that got its characters completely wrong.

Justice League wasn't very good either. And that was the cleaned up version Whedon delivered. Only the studio execs know what Snyder initially put out.

300 is meh. I never cared for it. Dawn if the Dead is pretty good.

Snyder has a history of mediocrity. His best film is between a remake, and 2 panel for panel adaptations. Everything else he's made has been ok at best and dumpster fire at worst.

And other than Wonder Woman, nothing DC has made since the Dark Knight trilogy stands up to Marvel.

Fignuts 10-10-2018 06:12 AM

I loved Watchmen. Don't care what anybody says.

But yeah. No more Snyder please.

Damian Rey 2.0 10-10-2018 10:03 AM

Watchmen was ok. I've never read the comic but I have been told by those who have that Snyder missed the point.

Destor 10-10-2018 10:45 AM

Ive read the comic dozens of times and I loved Snyders film. He made some changes that were legit improvements and he made some changes that hurt the narrative. The film is good regardless.

Destor 10-10-2018 10:49 AM

SPOILER: show
Manhattan being the cataclysm instead of a space squid makes the story much more personal and it feels much better. However Having Manhatten's final conversation be with Jupiter instead of Ozzy is a major negative. Its makes the love story between the too far prevalent (while undermining Nights Owl own relationship) while detracting from Ozzy and Manhattans characters and overall arcs.

I think he deserve praise for the one change and criticism for the other. Still really loved the film.

Seanny One Ball 10-10-2018 11:26 AM

Watchmen was very good. I hadn't and still have not read the graphic novel but I liked it a lot. Who needs superheroes when we're all fucked anyway, nobody is ever really in control.

Lock Jaw 10-10-2018 11:33 AM

Feel the same as Destor about the changes

Seanny One Ball 10-10-2018 11:55 AM

Should probably be in spoiler tags

XL 10-10-2018 01:06 PM

I’ve only ever heard people moan about that particular change, when I thought it improved the story. Glad to see I’m not alone.

Seanny One Ball 10-10-2018 03:47 PM

Would have ruined the entire film.

Damian Rey 2.0 10-10-2018 07:52 PM

Changing that key cog to the story made it more personal. The original comic book version would've been ludicrous.

Destor 10-10-2018 09:29 PM

Anyone have the ultimate cut or whatever it was called? Black freighter anime and all the delted scenes cut back in? Real good. My fav version of the film (but tbf watchmem is easily my fav comic ever and one of my fav NOVELS ever [and i dont say that lightly.])

Lock Jaw 10-10-2018 09:36 PM

I forgot it existed. Always meant to "check it out".

Destor 10-10-2018 09:41 PM

Youre the right demo for it. Frankly thats always been my biggest issue with adapting Watchmen. Ozzy doesnt work without the Black Freighter and if Ozzy doesnt work then the plot itself doesnt work.

If someone watched the theatrical release and shit on it i absolutely understand. Its an incomplete story. Ultimate cut plays much better. But its lengthy.

It always should have been a limited series imo. Its really geared for long form tv as opposed to being a film.

Still all this accounted for i dont think anyone could have done better with the IP. As far as film adaptations go this was the best anyone was gonna do.

Destor 10-10-2018 09:42 PM

...if only he hadnt done that Manhattan juniper scene...

Lock Jaw 10-10-2018 09:52 PM

HBO is doing some sort of Watchmen show, but it isn't based on the comics

Destor 10-10-2018 09:55 PM

Yeah. Not sure how i feel about that. I mean im open to people doing new things with the IP it wont lessen the comic in any way.

I just hope its good.

Damian Rey 2.0 10-11-2018 12:10 AM

What scene with Jupiter are you talking about, Destor?

Destor 10-11-2018 08:23 AM

The convo in ozzys bunker

Damian Rey 2.0 10-11-2018 07:42 PM

How was that supposed to go?

Destor 10-11-2018 10:10 PM

SPOILER: show
Should have been Manhattan and Ozzy.

Should have been of a complex conversation about the antagonist and the nature of man (which is essentially the climax to the entire story)

Instead you get a scene that undermines both juniper and night owls arcs by basically reducing him to a consolation prize and making juniper too weak to willfully leave a toxic relationship AND you completely ignore ozzy who is never really developed in the film at all since its that scene and the freighter that contain the entirety of his arc baring the bits of monolgueing he does with night owl.

Its a substantially worse story for it by a big margin.

Finally someone agrees. Watchmen was great.
