According to this article, they're changing a whole movie that tested well because the trailer that they believe was received well by audiences had nothing to do with the tone of the actual movie. So what they're telling me is they took a movie that was apparently good and changed it because of a trailer? Sure Jan
What do they think this movie is, Suicide Squad?

It's hard to really describe how bad it is. Terrible actors droning on and on about the most indecipherable nonsense
I think my favorite thing was how they describe Fel like a dozen times. Once would've sufficed, and every time after that was a bad decision on at least writing and editing levels. Why did they write that many descriptions of it, and why did they leave all those descriptions in the film?

Namor. Well, Atlantean, but to me he usually seems to be drawn as asian.
But there's rights weirdness with him so I wouldn't hold my breath.

Wait, what? Do you think Disney knows how a movie is going to turn out when they greenlight it?
Given their track record with non star wars, live action animated remakes, or mcu they probably should by this point ;p

Denis Villeneuve no longer plans on making a Dune movie.
Spoiler“The goal is to make two films, maybe more”.

The biggest problem with AI can be summed up with needing to ask you to be more specific.
edit: Should probably clarify I haven't seen AI since it was in theaters and I only vaguely remember two of the endings, one of which may actually be the final ending.

IIRC it was a heavy-handed shot of Hanks on the train looking out and seeing some kids climbing over a wall or whatever. Kinda hacky and I'd prefer it if it had ended right after the exchange of prisoners but it's not nearly as damaging as Lincoln's ending for example.
I turn off Lincoln after the shot of him walking down the stairs. That ending was perfect, but then there was apparently more for some reason. Not as bad as AI, I think by the time that film got to its final ending I had already completely checked out.

Now yall just need to admit to yourselves that the first was terrible too, a real low point for GDT
The love for that thing is mind bottling.

Wonder Woman is pretty good, but Man of Steel is only better than Iron Man 2/Incredible Hulk/Thor 2. Maybe. In any case, those are the only DCEU films thus far that are better than any MCU films.

Interested to see how this pans out.

this is is gonna be amazing.
I'm sure he had a fantastic version of this. And it would've received great reviews. We'll probably never see it. That's reality though.

Weird to compare the Avatar franchise to the MCU when Avatar hasn't even made .2MCU

Ignore function is your friend mate. I used it for the first time ever (after having decided never to use it) and it has saved me the incessant annoyance of having to see his post. I’m thinking of extending the ignore to include all fanboys of this most narcissistic, self obsessed and annoying fan base ever.
Fortunately there aren't many of them. Just due to sheer numbers, I'd say Nolanites were probably worse in their heydey.

Janky CGI only really becomes an issue if the movie itself is bad. Wonder Woman had its own share of questionable work there, too, but it didn't bother me for that film, either. On the other hand, The Hobbit and King Kong both had questionable CGI that knocked me out of the movie.

Honestly did anyone really think this movie was happening
Kind of wondering now if it was just a way to discretely bring Whedon in for JL after Snyder was fired.

Yeah, after Killmonger's ancestral plane scene with N'Jobu, I realized the beginning scene was actually Sterling K Brown's voice.
Also so N'Jobu is basically stuck in "Hell", aka that apartment right? He can't get out? If so what a shame.
I think it was more that Killmonger was stuck in that apartment, not his father.

Kinda crazy that Harry Potter is gonna be outta the top 10 come May. Woulda thought it'd have a bit longer, but Black Panther had other ideas.

Reminds me that Gunn last year more or less put the problems with Ronan in GOTG at their feet.
They also wanted to axe the music from GotG.

One of my favorite little Marvel anecdotes is how they would always talk about their "creative committee" of comic book writers who would "consult" on every script. People who really got the characters!
And then after Ike was gone Feige outright said it was absolute hell
Wasn't there only like one or two actual creatives on that commitee though? Then some toy people.
But yeah, its not a surprise that things seem to be going better having 6 fewer people to answer to.

Sure but it's like saying "hey should we make a Black Panther movie?" "No, Hawkguy"
Yeah true. I'm not sure how I feel about any of the X-Films coming out of Fox right now, anyway. I'm pretty sure even less of them are gonna happen than of all those DC films that are up in the air. Plus Kinberg is part of the Singer era and he really needs to go, too.

Listen they got more important things to deal with, like *squints at screen* Kitty Pryde
I actually like Kitty Pryde. Just another character (that was decently cast the third time around) that Singer wasted.
Now if it were a Jubilee film, on the other hand...

Everytime she was on screen I kept seeing Storm from the X-men.
Bryan Singer went with Halle Berry instead.
But then he would've wasted Angela Basset instead of Halle Berry, and instead of just being a shame it would've been criminal.

Oh, i thought the joke was that they used the wrong Warlock.
They meant this guy:
