It was a big black hole, Mr Terrific said before to be careful bc the river of pixels would carry you to it and bye bye.

Was I the only one put off by Supes killing Ultraman at the end...or letting him die. The movie makes SUCH an effort in his characterization to be empathetic, trying to covert his baddies by talking to them mid fight, upset about the kaiju not taken to a zoo, saving a squirrel...and then his own clone whose brainwashed and controlled he doesn't care at all and sends him through the black hole. Been a problem with Gunn's last two films for me, Guardians 3 spends most of the movie all about animal rights and highlighting the cruelty they're under...and then the third act set piece is all "hell yeah sick action scene" as they go around murdering all the other (non cute) experimented upon animal monsters.

Nailed my big issue with Vol 3 to a tee. Not entirely his fault (damn you Russos) but really killed it for me. GOTG Vol. 2 is probably my fav modern CBM period, so so so good.

Never trust the people making the film when it comes to the numbers but... Public perception wise it'll look bad, and I won't begrudge Snyder fans for being like "wtf WB expected a billion before and now they're fine with $500m and losing some money???" BUT it'll mean WB is not so god damn overreactive and jumpy at the slightest tiniest inconvenience like before. The constant pivoting and insane expectations kneecapping them at every turn for absolutely no reason. Playing the long game and sticking to their guns FINALLY, which is an overall positive.

Yeah a 3 hour cut of it (which is what it would've been at the time, always baffles me when idiots online act like "duh of course WB wouldn't release a 4 hour film in theatres in 2017") would be perfect. And the thing is, the movie already addressed a lot of issues people had with MoS and BvS (me included). Is it still serious and darker, yes BUT the heroes now act like traditional mythic heroes saving people and finding unity amidst their shared pain. It's one of the most sincere and heart on its sleeve CBMs ever. AND they could've easily closed the book on Snyder then and there if they wanted to and had a clean break than the absolute mess of a fandom split we had.

I finally watched it for the first time a week or so back and the Mera stuff is SO egregious I could not believe it. There's shots that are so obviously zoomed in and cropped in post to cut her out (all you see is a chin and shoulder) so you don't even see her simply reacting in group shots. What a cruel business, her treatment and WB screwing over one of their most successful directors whose now left for good.
