He's the kinda down-on-his-luck-but-no-longer-radioactive-but-still-cheapish WW-known actor that could drop into DC in the right role...and he'd fit in the zanier side of the universe,,, 2 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention Wan himself consulted with him against WB's wishes. The only one moving away is Batman No, no. You’re quite right. The vision that Snyder had is absolutely being carried on with Wonder Woman and Aquaman. He’s responsible for those films successes. Jenkins and Wan were just there to carry out his vision. Both those films had absolutely no changes made to them because of the backlash against BvS, JL and SS. Everything is going according to his wishes and his master plan. Good lord. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OncomingStorm93 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 If WW84 ends up below WW, all hell will break loose at WB. I cant imagine that’s going to happen. WW84 looks incredible based on the teaser. I think it will hit $1b. 80s nostalgia will drive it there. No comic book film has tapped into that era yet (although several recent MCU films are steeped in 80s culture) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cast the actors, he created the look, he established their power set in his movies & pushed for these solo movies to be made when WB were hesitant. Claiming that Wan and Jenkins moved away from him is laughable. They can't. Their movies were made when he was still active in WB till 2017. But the direction and feel of Wonder Woman and Aquaman were their own secluded identity and drastically different than what Snyder had done. So fuck yes, people can say that Jenkins and Wan moved away from him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main question right now is why did this have to be rated R? Were drugs and cursing that essential to the film, that the film couldn't have survived without those elements? Because Deadpool, Joker and Logan were successful R rated comic book movies. Literally, it baffles me why they decided to go R on this. The violence is apparently not even that graphically violent aside from one or two moments. It's just the language apparently.

OncomingStorm93 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Just read the last couple pages. Great scott... Zac Snyder has nothing to do with this flopping. Audience goodwill or lack thereof toward DC has nothing to do with this flopping. The chosen actors have nothing to do.... you get the gist. BoP is flopping because of one of the worst marketing campaigns for a post-Iron Man comic book film. This marketing campaign was afraid to embrace the film’s R rated nature. The second trailer released less than a month ago. The name of the film was too damn long. And much more. This was a marketing failure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You using Emma Stone as some example means fuck all. Did you read what I fucking said? I literally said what you said in the A post. Cast big names in the supporting roles and add someone like Jodie Comer in the lead. Also I brought up big names not being attached because of the DCEU's track record of getting said big names. BOP had none outside of Robbie, Shazam had none, Aquaman had Nicole Kidman, JL had none outside of Gal/Ben, WW had none etc. I can keep going.

Should definitely beat WW WW though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrylos 7 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Aquaman was a joy to watch and as far away from Snyder’s style as possible. It might not have been the best CBM or whatever but it was a very enjoyable film even to people that don’t give a shit about comics while the Snyder movies were basically torture for anyone that didn’t care about comics and even for many comic book fans.

Doesn’t he mean the Reddit leaks from late last year from people claiming to have been at test screenings of the film? I think ViewerAnon verified that they took place, from what I recall.

Legion Again Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Yeah, the WW leak was clearly legit. But, there’s a spectrum of reactions. No way to know for sure how the audience will feel about it until they get their hands on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most important goal of the marketing campaign of a superhero movie is convincing people that it's a must see in the respective cinematic universe. Either that or you need to have the novelty factor like WW or Joker. no, the audience will see a movie thats looks good, and seems fun and exciting or intresting, and bop clearly didnt seem like it ps before i see reactions to this, you may loved the trailers, but the numbers are talking , in terms of ow at least Edited February 8, 2020 by john2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
