What? Superman 1974 and Batman 89 were the first comic book blockbuster hits.
70s - Superman 1974
80s - Batman 1989
90s - Men in Black
2000s - The Dark Knight
2010s - Avengers Infinity War
Reeves's Batman movie to break the next record? I doubt it.

because Bright exists and nobody meddled with that bad movie. Ayer is decent at one thing and fantasy is not one of those things.
I waited forever for a decent urban fantasy. Bright is what Skwad could have been & I'm stoked for that sequel.

Why the Matrix is never mentioned in the funny book discussions.
20 years ago ...
It did everything before anyone else.
Before Matrix, you had Blade, the 4 Superman and 4 Batman and Marvel was about to start.
First great superhero landing pose (maybe Superman/Batman had a few can't remember).
It adapted manga tropes and Honk Kong action before Howlllood executives knew what they were.
And Neo was a textbook superhero.
And it talked about philosophy and the Gafams.
Visionary.
Before 1999 and the same year the supposed death of funny book movies happened you had this:
and pic-related is why you don't remember this is actually the start of the MARVEL Renaissance.

CM got crazy hype as well.
My bananas had CM on the sticker. I call that marketing.

Maybe super dark comics or villain movies but not superhero films.
I don't have to imagine what the various Greg Weisman/Bruce Timm stuff would be like in live-action for example.

Compared to GOTG it would seem so. Imo I just don't get the synder love. He's a rude guy that nearly killed superhero DC films.
Comics, cartoons, games. Snyder among a few others distills the best of em' to a cinematic live-action format.

No unbiased person who is aware of both games will say that a baseball game is more interesting than a T20.
Don't watch sports. Of all the various shit I've played, didn't get the appeal in that one.

Cricket grounds are bigger than football grounds. Also it's not a softball toss. Speed ranges from 50-100 mph.
But I am still curious how you reach that conclusion that field is that small.
Just looked at an image. So, essentially just a free-for-all as far as where to catch.

The field is the entire oval it's just the captain decide to put all the fielders close to the batsman waiting for a catch.
Is the point to get to the other side or just knock down all the pegs?

All you need to know is that its an extremely boring version of cricket.
Still can't wrap my head around what the rules are. You're protecting sticks from a flat wide stick after doing a softball toss with
this being the extent of the field?
Other American sports are just different names for the same thing.

It's hit the pop culture zeitgeist in a way that not even Lost or The Walking Dead hit though
A show about people being stuck on an island with many flashbacks off the island and a show about waiting for a zombie attack.
People assumed Westworld would be able to replace GoT 🤣
The only real equivalent can be found in children's cartoons

isn't that better than a critic quote? Every single film regardless of how badly it was received, can put a great positive critic quote on the poster/advert.
They should use metacritic 😁

While certain properties are RT proof and we can debate if this is a good thing or a bad thing, I definitely think RT matters enough when people are deciding if they should spend the money on something that if they see it's rotten or fresh on RT, it's a potential make or break moment.
Still weirds me out when instead of a critic blurb is a frikkin' number that has to be advertised and it's not even the average score rating just their wacky thumbs up/down system.
@Avatree you just thought of A Quiet Place, so you edited to 60?

I noticed that, but I bet that the only reason for them to prop up WW is to have some sort of "leverage" in their arguments against CM since WW's reviews were so much better than CM's You know like, "well, here is how you make a superheroine film right. WW is so much better than CM, and Gal wasn't even sexist against white dudes, and she is awesome, unlike wooden Brie, and the film did not need to shove SJW concepts down our throat" blah blah blah. I bet they never really cared for WW to begin with.
I considered that, but again they're legitimate fans of WW and are as ride or die for any other cliche mainstream fanboy related thing. Brie united the MCU & DCEU fanboys
21 minutes ago, cdsacken said:Indeed. Snyder magic touch LMAO he literally failed on 2 of what should have been the easiest films ever to make in BVS and Justice League. He's an out of touch, narcissistic, delusional, hateful dbag. I can't wait till he has zero affiliation with DC films.
And yet his legacy lives on. The MCU got a 2-for-1 out of BvS. I thought Johns & Berg being out would mean that's the official turnover and yet Aquaman & Shazam! continue to remind me of this foundation. Every bit and piece of a rumored JL cut has me going...so basically Infinity War. The streaming shows are an impressive backdoor to the movies.

I'm fine for synder to do the darker films as long as he doesn't ruin any more superhero films. I want the DC brand to be positive again. It's already shedding his crap brand, hopefully it can continue to do so.
I'm looking out for that transition, but so far between the movies & streaming shows, his magic touch has been so pervasive.

2 minutes ago, LouisianaArkansasGeorgia said:Yes!!!! I hope they do!! Seriously, nothing would make me happy than the WW sequel following that same CM narrative (Trolls hate on it, the film still makes a billion dollars) just so they can feel even more powerless. I mean, at some point they are going to realize that their idiotic campaigns are pointless, right?
but...those same folks continuously bring WW up & put CM down
and a good number of them consider WW to be the best DCEU flick

Ant man 2 I'm not a fan. Synder and fake producer credit. Thankfully he won't be doing much at all just like I. Aquaman
The faster they shed him completely the better they will do.
It's his vfx/sfx staff he'd be keeping tabs on and/or his money funding this thing. It's hard not to notice the Snyder footprints on that Aquaman display, which is ofc different from the Shazam! pastiches...so, hey 2 movies starting with Joker before the next SnyderCU thing.

Curious to see what happens when WW 1984 does more than CM will DC Snyder fans be happy? He has zero involvement. Can't wait to see it.
Hoping for a less grim, less boring but similar in tone and emotional quality that WW had.
Like Shazam!, Joker, & BoP; need him and his production co. to not be involved to qualify.
Cold War era = least grim, dark of any
31 minutes ago, Napoleon said:@LouisianaArkansasGeorgia in the Dark Phoenix thread you compared me to The Futuristic, but that's not a fair reputation you're giving me. The only reason I'm a "Marvel hater" is because they make movies I don't like, plain and simple. If they start making good movies, I will be honest about it. Just like I have always been honest in here about how I didn't enjoy Aquaman, and how Ant-Man and the Wasp was my favorite comic book movie from last year. I will not pretend Marvel can't make anything right just because I'm a DC supporter.
Gotta explain this infatuation with A-M&W. Someone somewhere said it was the worst one since Iron Man 2, probably dethroned it.

I'm just glad we live in an era where both DC and Marvel are pumping out fantastic superhero movies. Here's hoping Hollywood starts figuring out how to do video games, too.
Hollywood figured it out. They'll have the actors mo-cap their likeness in videogames.
In all seriousness, the argument is redundancy especially with the gaming industry eclipsing movies & music combined.
You wanna turn a mobile game into an animated feature?
You wanna turn a spinoff of a repetitive rpg into an animated/live-action hybrid?
Those are more viable than the other video game movies, which actually have been about as accurate to source as superhero movies.
