Here's a simple solution to everyone's problems: all fanbases suck and the people who provoke these fan wars on this site suck too.

 

Now, can we move on to a more pressing topic? Where does Puff Daddy's "Come with Me" end up on everyone's list of best 90's songs?

 

 

 

I was surprised at how much I liked the song by the end of it.

 

The music video reminded me of Tekken.

 

But if I were to rank 90s songs, I'm sure a bunch of grunge and alt-rock tunes would bury it.

Saw Bumblebee and The Favourite today, Bumblebee was good solid fun and The Favourite was just a delicious black comedy. Olivia Colman IMO is going to be this generation's Judi Dench. 

 

 

She s the next M ?

So now that the DCEU is dead, we must assume telecommunications (phone, internets etc) don't work in DC movies  so Wonder Woman can't call Aquaman or Shazam to deafeat the villain in her movies.

If it's WW 1984, and I'm remembering Aquaman movie continuity correctly (although is there any, truly?:), Aquaman would be 2 and Shazam would be some negative years old number:)...so no need to break phones yet:)...

I’m hoping for 21M today.

Aquaman May be successful but it’s objectively a bad film imo. Like venom. Wonder Woman was very good.

 

No it isn't. It's subjective.

Yes.  

 

DC fans had decades of great movies, when they were literally the only superhero game in town. They got a critically acclaimed trilogy that all other superhero movies are still looking or being made in response to.

 

Lashing out at other fans and filmmakers at the slightest assumed provocation means y’all look like whiny brats.

What are these great movies you speak of? Until Aquaman and Wonder Woman, we only had TDKT. Sorry but DC's potential was being squandered until very recently. So like I said, we had a reason to be angry. Once we get more solid films, and movies outside Batman/Superman, you'll see the mentality change. 

 

Ehh I don't really care honestly, because I only go to the movies to see superhero films (and other franchises if WOM is good). 

[The Futurist]

Who would have thought Justice League would become the lowest grossing movie out of the first 6 DCEU films ?

Crazy.

[Johnny Tran]

Everything seems to have evened out.  Everyone expected Aquaman to do about $650M-$700M and for Justice League to do $1B+ ,  they simply reversed roles.

HOT TAKE: TDKR is a great movie 🙈🙈🙈

Also Hardy's Bane was the only decent funnybook movie villain until... Killmonger? Unless Trevor Slattery counts I guess

edit: nvm, Keaton's vulture was quite good.

Hardy’s Bane is legendary, imo.  Probably the single biggest reason why I adore TDKR.

I liked it for you.

 

 

... and in regards to DC brand films ... sure they've had Superman & Batman, but they had neglected everyone else for so long ... and when they would choose others, it was some random characters in awful films.  Now they're seeing that if they present them in a way that's interesting to the general public, they'll actually go see them.
