It’s not a remake. It’s just derivative and looks like a remake. The sequels are totally not a remake, just indistinguishable from a remake. You know, cause money.
I can’t let this go: Joel McHale’s character in It’s A Wonderful Knife was an outright bad guy that gets zero comeuppance. In the original timeline, he’s the mayor’s stooge with zero spine, helping bully Cigarette Smoking Man into selling his place. Then, a year later, he’s cruelly favoring his son over his daughter, ignoring her future and getting her workout clothes for Christmas while he partners with his son and buys him a new truck. Then, in the alternate timeline, he’s off COMMITTING MURDERS, which his daughter stops by KILLING HIM. But then, in the end, the timeline reverts, and he’s seen giving Winnie a camera for Christmas and… all is well? Winnie still has a terrible, spineless, one-corporate-ultimatum-away-from-being-a-serial-killer dad. But it’s cool cuz she has a girlfriend now. 🤯
The AI just kind of forgot about his comeuppance. I knew it was bad when watching it, but forgot about the possibility of it being an AI script until they brought it up and it makes so much sense.
Do people actually watch all this capitalist glorification porn they’re coming out with?
At least the stylized, inaccurate band biopics are celebrating great music. But now they’re making shit like this and dramatizing the people that signed the deal to make Jordans. Dumb.
As an Italian, thank you! This is the worst of the worst our country has to offer to the world and having a glorifying biopic about it is degrading to all of us.
Yeah. There was so much wasted potential in the DCEU.
But I don’t consider Aquaman wasted potential at all. I’m a fan of the comic, but the source material never tried to be Black Panther, so a movie that did wouldn’t have worked anyway.
Considering “The Aquaman” made it to 2 films, I figure Hasbro will be calling Jason Mamoa to star in a “Seaspray” movie any minute. Maybe have him cameo as Boat-guy-wity-parrot in a GI Joe movie, just for good measure.
My hopes for James Gunns version are pretty high. PeaceMaker is so lovingly made.
I do worry because I haven’t seen James Gunn take on the unironically uplifting side of DC yet, and it needs to be there for the DCU to work.
what would you have done differently with the DCEU
Started it from the Nolan Batman movies instead of rebooting it again. The DCEU could have been the darker, grittier answer to Marvel’s movies. Instead we got a lot of formulaic movies that all look like a low budget CW show.
Eh. I think the issue is they were half assed gritty. Either go balls to the walls or don’t. None of this gritty shit peppered with smarmy one liners every five mins. Commit goddammit.
I would have them study Superman and Lois. It’s the best on screen Superman since Reeve, and Tyler Hoeclin is the best Superman… probably ever. Even better than Reeve. Clark is a fully realized person and not just an identity for the off hours. Take some lessons from that series and you might have something.
Iirc isn’t rotten tomatoes where you want to wait for the audience score because the critics are often out of tune with the audience? Not that I’m disinclined to believe the movie’s bad though, like you said DCEU has been pretty abysmal.
Critics are still mad they’re being forced to watch “superman, but underwater”. I get that, I feel for them. But I don’t feel for them enough to actually stop giving money to movies like “superman, but underwater”.
Hey, it’s not as if they could have involved the people who did the animated series or the Arrowverse TV series, both of which have been very successful.
