Ledmonkey96 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 So what's the thought on WW84? I'm thinking a topical 1984-like anti-fascist movie. Which is basically going to come across to a lot of people as SJW the movie no matter what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Since 2013, Man of Steel controversy put a curse on all superhero movies. Since this movie, it has become taboo to have big superhero fights in known cities. FUCK THAT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the Smallville sequence is just amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe "Anti-totalitarian" should be the blanket label and that way they can set the sequels in any point in history. There is always an evil dictator at some point.

Or maybe it’ll just be set in 1984 and be another recent excuse for Hollywood to indulge in 80s nostalgia? sometimes a cigar is just a cigar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronJimbo Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 It's easy to shit-talk DC after Justice League bombed but don't go pretending Marvel has better fight sequences. Post a better Marvel fight I'll be waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him vs Hulk is great but I wouldn't compare the two, feel like that's recency bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebeccas Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) DC's ugly slo-mo fighting aesthetic almost ruined Wonder Woman. Literally any of the scenes in TWS is better than that BvS scene lol Edited June 3, 2018 by Rebeccas 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Lol I’m not watching this guys video. But the one liners and constant hit and miss jokes almost ruined Infinity War for me. Maybe character overload though. Maybe thats why MCU peaked for me with battle scenes way back in 2012. They’ve never been able to recapture the magic of that one long tracking shot in Avengers. Where no one says a word. Wonder Woman stopping during the no-man’s-land scene to make a one liner “comedy” zinger would reduce its impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 That’s without mentioning the editing at the start of Civil War making it almost unwatchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 And if the guy mentions villains then I just have to laugh. I think thats the one weak weak point in MCU we can all agree on. Red Skull? In Civil War whoever the villain was, he was overshadowed by in fighting. Hela was like a pantomime drag queen. I can’t even remember the name of the villains from Ant Man or Doctor Strange. They’ve repeated Loki several times. No one seems to like Ultron, I liked his voice lol. Thanos was the first time they’ve had a villain that actually poses a threat. but the characters still constantly take the piss out of him with jokes. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the MCU wants to they can do a serious fight hence Iron Man vs Captain America I dont recall a single joke being used when they were fighting in Civil War 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MCU has improved their villains so lets not act like DCEU is doing anything when they have yet to give a great villain hell even a memorable one 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of their fight though, think it’s because that film felt like it should’ve ended at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
