Anyway, this thread is supposed to be about franchise stuff. We should be talking about the insane award run of Joker, that is finally making CBMs respectable. Black Panther was first. CBM are already respectable. How delusional you are? Black Panther literally won Sag Ensemble, a very big achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) The Joker is a conformist movie. Excellent propaganda for the useful idiots. There s a reason it resonated. It is exactly what people(not all obviuolsy, but a large chunk) have been trained to want to hear. Perfect and efficient social engineering. Todd Phillips has now access to pussies you(we) will only dream of our whole lifetime. Before The Joker, he was rich. Now he is an Artiste. This combination is like meth and cocaine to women. Todd Phillips is what every alpha male sould aspire to be. Edited January 22, 2020 by The Futurist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorddemaxus Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) Anyone else remember when WB produced the best comic book movie of all time in 2008? And no, I'm not talking about The Dark Knight. I'm talking about Speed Racer. You guys act like the portals scene and iron man death scene in Endgame are the most cathartic and emotional things to happen in a superhero movie but this beats any of that by a mile: Edited January 22, 2020 by lorddemaxus 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to criticize Philips as a filmmaker, fine, I have problems with him myself, but this is pure bs. And as the saying goes, Militant Non Conformist can be the Worst Conformists of them all.

Abrams’ fault, but The Rise of Skywalker has made me even less interested in seeing his production company tackle anything DC related. Yeah , another Abrams rehash of stuff that has pretty much already been done to death. And, sad to say, that will be just fine to a lot of fans.

Oh my god, that scene always has me bawling. Definitely the most emotional scene in the movie. The scene were Racer X tells Speed this is also a great moment (epecially upon rewatch when you know that he's his brother): Quote It doesn't matter if racing never changes. What matters is if we let racing change us. Every one of us has to find a reason to do this. You don't climb into a T-180 to be a driver. You do it because you're driven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is talking about dominance of blockbusters and not just MCU. Nice bait tho. You people try everything to put Marvel down and it only rises up. Clickbait headline.

dudalb Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) So QT is now stealing Scorsese's shtick. I like QT the director, QT the celebrity not so much. He makes himself look bad with some of his stunts. I think Scorsese was sincerely trying to make a point, though I think he picked a bad way to do it. But with QT, I think he is just seeking media attention. He has done some stupid stuff before just to bet attention.

Menor the Destroyer Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 What the fuck is wrong with John Campea. Just saw his comments about Ahsoka defeating Maul and they were so weird and gross. Never paid attention to the dude and I see that was a good decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That headline is so misleading, no doubt it’s that way to create controversy and get clicks. QT literally does not say anything like that nor does he single out Marvel or superhero movies. In fact there is nothing controversial in what he said, that ridiculous website is just looking for clicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Tran Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Do y'all think MCU will ever produce a script that gives an actor/actress an opportunity to kill it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lehnsherr Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Don't see anything wrong with Tarantino's comments. He's basically saying that in a year where so many franchises did well at the box office we also saw tons of great original films that got attention. Why is that a bad thing? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
