Is this the LazyTown movie we've always wanted?

I would care deeply about Batman if they acknowledged Dick Grayson's existence. Or Tim. Or Fuck even Jason.
Batfamily movie, all aboard. I wouldn't have gone back to when Batfleck started his career.
Would've pushed forward and did an Agent Grayson movie, then Jason Todd, throw in the Owls...and eventually Damian,

Being an OG and still current VALIANT fan/reader I'm very curious and somewhat nervous about Sony's handling of Bloodshot.
Glad to see a large name attached to the lead in Vin Diesel. The Valiant Universe has lots to play with if done correctly.
Whatever concern anyone may have had with Sony has to been alleviated after 2018 if not 2017.
Bloodshot is a hard one to fuck up, but another Hellboy situation is always possible,

1.99x legs. Not to mention it was the first live action Batman vs Superman film. If reviews and the movie was better for the Ga, it would have easily done $200M OW. JL would’ve done more or less the same Synder.
Still the first Batman vs Superman film and one of those two reached its 21st century box office peak with MoS,
+$400 from the previous attempt.
Reviews and this kind of movie being better is a 7 million dollar difference (Homecoming), not the guaranteed Wan billion of all the king's men and all the king's horses.

I mean long before Steve Trevor showed up, Diana showed compassion and caring for the human race. It was her that made the decision to embark on saving humanity from Ares. And if I’m not mistaken, along the way, Steve Trevor pretty much made fun or didn’t believe Diana in her quest for Ares.....to the point where at the end of the film she even began doubting whether he existed at all
That was framed as her not wanting to be held back by her mom any longer, especially with her aunt now dead and thinking Ares is the be all and end all...pretty standard princess/pixar tropes.

Well exactly, when I use to show that making billions of dollar does not necessarily create a game changer if it is hard to reproduce has an example, I am not sure why we would talk about not versus the decades that occurred, innovation that caught on are usually easy to reproduce (like the cheap horror now)
And (Gone with the wind was also during the war for a part of it) ? Big disaster / war events will be the first reflex for the copycat I would think, I am still unsure to follow you.
Titanic is hard to reproduce because the modern game changers involve all things I said Titanic doesn't have:
military-based good guys/bad guys, army of villains, car stunts, crazy animals, aliens, wold ending stakes
It's currently impossible to get the same kind of audience pull for that kind of movie compared to fantasy-driven superpowered characters and has been impossible for 22 years.

Well I am not sure to follow, what is lol about Pearl Harbor ?
The same happened with Avatar, the easier part to use did caught for a while (3D), the giant space epic (John Carter and others) was a different story.
Titanic was in 1997
Pearl Harbor is still soldiers in the midst of war + the general territory that comes with Michael Bay.
1997 was 22 years ago.

Hollywood did try to reproduce and made some high budget romance movie set in historical epic moments/setting, Pearl Harbor and co. Executing and making them work did seem to be really hard, combined with the really high cost, it did not catch on.
Will see for that how studio plan for extreme long and vast universe shift (the many sequel planned did start after Potter-Twilight and some others high profile didn't at an high cost), it was the case for a while from the Arthurian movie universe too many others, but from what I gather it mostly failed all around, so it is possible that like for Titanic the high cost/difficult to land make it a model that will not stay around.
lol Pearl Harbor. Michael Bay eventually then goes on to make one of the actual game-changing franchises from that decade.
It's just now a more impossible task to get audiences to watch a drama
(no military-based good guys/bad guys + army of villains) with the single hook, big spectacle being the disaster.
No car stunts. No crazy animals. No aliens. No world ending stakes.

I was just to name a few. To me it seems Feige is the more commercially successfully one. None of their works had been a more dominant position than MCU has been. no?
didnt MCU changed how studios plan franchise/sequels? thus game changing.
Some of the franchises/sequels were seemingly doing it before phase one even got to Thor & Cap. Post-Phase One & beyond, think about what the other ones are that aren't necessarily superhero-related. You've only got LEGO and Universal monster falsestarts.
On 4/16/2019 at 11:16 AM, Reddroast said:I think this is an unfair question as Feige has never directed a film before. However I think him and Jason Blum are going to be icons in the industry due to their ability of finding and cultivating talent both behind and in front of the camera.
Blum looks at Feige's cheapest movie and thinks to himself...I could've gotten 10+ releases outta that. Plus, even though horror is his bread & butter, it's apparent that's not what his production company limits to.
Like Disney's other studios, Feige only has to deal with Marvel movies a few times a year.
On 4/16/2019 at 12:00 PM, Barnack said:There is a lot of filmmaker involved in the MCU (that would be like giving full credit for Indiana Jones to Georges Lucas and none to Spielberg making him quite the candidate).
It did change how studios planned franchise-sequels for a little while, but because it seem to never have worked for anyone else I am not sure how game changing it will be, a bit like Titanic didn't change stuff much despite the attempts to reproduce it's success, better wait a little 25 year's to judge something like that I feel.
Titanic isn't a good example because it's the last highest grossing movie (without even adjusting for inflation) of its kind and Hollywood is in no rush to aim for a movie like that to be that successful.

Bautista's been at this game for quite some time if any of you recall Man with the Iron Fists.
I don't expect this "crossover" to disappoint.
I also plan to get around to these two:

This finally released but don't know where to watch it yet. Reviews seem solid for a Martial Arts film.

Skip it. Waste of talent.

Don't blame the IM writers. That writers' room was put together to map out numerous installments with various ideas. Blame Michael Bay who wanted to put all the ideas for multiple installments into one installment.
Who do I put on the chopping block for just the dialogue in general?
They're also doing MiB Ragnarok & that looks dreadful.

That exactly the keep it small enough strategy. Wasn't Aquaman full of previous movie reference, the population did seem to know who he was and everything,
Also forgot there's one asian guy in the movie who's trying to convince the media that Atlantis is real.
So, they just know Aquaman and that's about it.

Because they contain world changing realities, if something big happen where and what Superman doing will be on people mind.
That one big issue with those shared universe you either have to find convoluted way and loose actual movie time explaining why others are not helping, or keep it small enough or have a % of your audience asking themselves why is this not big enough for the justice league to call each others.
I just realized there's no Throne of Atlantis moment where the undersea people have taken over major metropolitan cities the way parademons, Chitauris, Decepticons invaded.

Hmm. Not if done properly. Pfieffer's Cat in Batman Returns was far and away the most adored thing about that flick. Just gotta get it right and crowds will flock. Harley is literally a sidekick to Joker. She's huge but Catwoman can and would be bigger if done right.
Granted her cosplay is one of the easiest, but Catwoman's never been 4th wall breaking psycho comedian huge.

I could be wrong, but hasn't it become commonplace for DCEU and MCU to hire directors who are not acquainted with blockbusters to direct these CBMs? If I recall correctly, Whedon had never done a mega-budget blockbuster before The Avengers, and Patty Jenkins had only made one movie --an intimate character study (Monster)-- before Wonder Woman. Ryan Coogler's pre -Black Panther work were two dramas also. I am sure that there are many more examples of that...
Joss's GOTG was only 35m? where the fuck is all this mega-budget money going to?
Producers over filmmakers - the trendy trading card game.

Not every superhero film has to be a world-ending-event one billion-dollar grossing uber-blockbuster. Heck, I hope that both Marvel and DC continue making 80-million dollar CBMs alongside their big guns. I would love to see "small" earthbound characters like Blue Beetle, White Tiger, Echo, Lady Shiva, and the upcoming Black Widow succeed too, even if none of them makes the kind of money that films starring Wonder Woman/Superman/Batman or Iron Man/Captain America/Captain Marvel make.

In MCU terms with regard to the amount stuff you can throw in & the audience won't bat an eye, that's a Phase 3 movie.
If Mad Max Fury Road is any indication, flash in the pan.
