Ten years from now, when we're halfway into the Chutes 'n' Ladders Dark Multiverse Prequel Trilogy Vol. IIa: Count Chocula vs. The GEICO Cavemen Part I: The Razing Of Candyland, we'll be pining for the days the infection was limited to superhero movies.
The only people who've been able to properly execute the shared universe concept are the people who pioneered the idea: Marvel. WB and Universal have demonstrated that just having a shared universe isn't a recipe for success. The problem is that Hollywood often misinterprets success. They see the MCU and think, "Oh, this is successful because it's a shared universe, we don't need to worry about story, characters, tone, look, cohesiveness, casting, direction or anything else. If it features the nerds favorite characters, people will come out in droves to see it." You saw this years ago with the movie craze for trilogies. They saw that Lord of the Rings was a massive hit, and so everyone thought that trilogies were the way to go. It wasn't that LOTR was well directed, looked amazing and blended it's combination of CG and practical effects in a way that was fantastic and near flawless, told a great story and had an amazing cast (that kick started a lot of peoples careers none of that mattered, it was the fact that it was a trilogy that was why it made money. Even the people who made Lord of the Rings made the same mistake later when they did the Hobbit series. The Hobbit should have been two movies at most (or just a long single movie), they got greedy and tried to do another trilogy and they ended up with a bloated mess that veered too far from the source material (which to be fair is the weakest of Tolkien's books). This is also why we ended up with "The Dark Knight Trilogy" when it was clear they didn't really have a third act written for the story. The reason the MCU has succeeded is that Marvel is committed to actually making good individual movies, that happen to fit together as the interlocking pieces of a larger whole. That's why the MCU works, the individual movies are actually worth watching, and so you get invested with the characters and want to follow everyone's journey.
That's an interesting point about the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. That's the first time anybody tries blending fictional characters in that way in modern cinema (you could argue something like Abbot and Costello meet Frankenstein, Dracula and the Wolfman). However you also see that that movie was a total disaster and actually wrecked several peoples careers (including it's director) and drove Sean Connery, one of the most storied and bankable stars in Hollywood, into retirement.

What *did* he do? I heard that a woman came forward and gave a very very general statement, like, "he did a bad thing" but I never heard anything more or and sort of details or clarification?
Apparently WB offered REPEATEDLY to pay for the digital addition of a mustache to the other movie because it was cheaper to add one than remove one, and the other studio repeatedly said no, he had to keep the real 'stache. So you're right on both counts--it would have been cheaper to add a fake one AND you're right that the other movie was still like "suck it, DCU."
The thing people don't get is they'd already shot scenes with the real mustache and then to gamble those scenes looking different due to adding a CGI mustache in other scenes with no real benefit to the other studio means no one in their right mind would make him shave it. Worst case scenario you're going to have to reshoot old scenes with again, no benefit to you.
Thats what happens when you rush multiple movies worth of character development. The price of doing whatever it takes to be different from the competition
The speech on why the World needs Superman comes really fucking great from someone who said "He has the power to take out the entire human race and if we believe there is even a one percent chance that he is our enemy, we have to take it as an absolute certainty!" especially when you also consider how that certain someone is also responsible for Superman's death.
He was regular-old-man fit for sure, but then he got crazy ripped for this... did you see all those Instagram pics???? He looks incredible... and then he pops up in 4 minutes of screen time wearing like 4 layers of coats :) I hope he does keep the guns. Maybe he can be the new Liam Neeson... some kind of "retired but can still F you up" movie perhaps!
"Kathleen Kennedy, she-she's puttin' out Star Wars like a pimp puts a hooker out on the street. Star Wars has hiked up its skirt and it's giving BJ's and handies for a nickle a pop, and Kathy's countin' the money in a dingy hotel room." I watched every episode of Half in the Bag before this one again so I could find this one line that Mike says since I couldn't remember where it came from. Worth it. Going to keep watching all the other episodes. :)
I know comparing Nolan's take on comic book movies to WB's impossible nightmare disaster from Hell is old hate, but I wanna draw attention to something. Watch the Justice League trailer. Count the shots of apocalyptic doomsday shots of things blowing up (WHICH YOU HAVE TO DO OTHERWISE PEOPLE WILL ASSUME THIS FILM CONTAINS NO EXPLOSIONS). Now think about Nolan: What were the stakes at the end of every movie? Did the Joker wanna fire a blu laser at the sky? No, he just wanted to blow up a boat, but because the fundamental story was so compelling, we wind up caring way more about the 200 people on a boat than we do Space Warlord #4 's master plan to end daylights savings time. The simple fact is that the story dictates the stakes, not vice versa.
Trollificusv2 Thank you for not drawing attention to the six dozen typos in that post. I can monitor my Ambien usage entirely with my UA-cam comment history.
You do realize that it was Nolan who hired Zack to do MoS and convinced the stuido to fund it, he also had a hand in the story and production on both MoS and BvS. Snyder and Nolan are friends and work on each others movies without taking anything but producer credits....Zack literally grew the corn for Interstellar and also helped out on The Dark Knight.
Anybody remember the Justice League cartoon from the early 2000's? An entire fucking TV series with interesting plots and relatable characters, and when it's time to make a live-action movie, the best they can do is "badguy from space wants magic cubes".
The JL cartoon series from the early 2000's,JL-Unlimited series,who followed and Young Justice,put the entire DCEU to shame,in terms of quality storytelling,characters and action.Generally speaking are the animated DC movies and series,top-notch,it's really funny,that they just can't manage to keep this quality on their live-action movies,with a couple of exceptions like Nolan's Batman trilogy or Wonder Woman.
1. I loved that show. 2. Describing the movie like that, I realize it's literally the Avengers, but instead of one magic cube, ITS THREE! Totally makes it better, DC.
Fun fact: Mike, who clearly couldn't care less about these super hero films, had to watch this masterpiece (at least) three times. Once in the cinema, once for their commentary track and once to take notes for their Snyder Cut review.
doubleP I could've turned off the review right there cuz Rich's comment sums up DC perfectly, but I stayed to enjoy RLM trash Minor League for almost forty minutes :)

So why did they have to do all this random shit to bring Superman back to life, but at the end of BVS the dirt on his coffin starts to rise as if he’s still alive?
Carlos it was a mother box that gets its energy from something called the source (kinda like the speed force that gives the flash his speed) so it wouldn’t do anything to Superman because he gets his power from yellow stars
@@nickchavarria8052 Ding ding ding! Neat thing is, it doesn't matter if it turns out to be a good or bad movie. Like with every other show that will be exclusive to a channel/streaming service, it's there to hook an audience, and if the audience doesn't like the film? Hey maybe watch more of our other shows before unsubbing! Maybe those will convince you that this platform is ok to keep!
The Joker movie that has "nothing to do with the universe" is actually good. Shazam which looks like a movie made as an after thought is actually better The DCEU is a joke.
That's another problem I have with the DCEU's execution. They've cast a lot of great people (they really have) but they don't have anything for them to do (poor Henry Cavill). I think J.K. Simmons is a great actor and could have brought a lot of levity to Commissioner Gordon, but not if he's in the movie for a grand total of 5 minutes.
the one thing that would fix this movie is whenever Steppenwolf was on screen the background music was Magic Carpet Ride and by background i mean foreground with the rest of the audio muted and all the scenes where Steppenwolf is not on screen are cut out entirely
I was thinking during the fight scene between Superman and the rest of the JL that this situation is exactly what the Suicide Squad was designed for. Where was Harley with her bat, Deadshot with his guns to stop Superman? Killer Croc could have easily taken out Superman with the help of Boomerang. DC. What a joke.
Yeah! Amanda Waller, super genius: coerce a bunch of unpowered, unstable sociopaths to kill a demigod. I mean, if everybody was wearing kryptonite armor and shooting kryptonite weapons and they had someone whose power was to slow down Superman so he's not faster than the flash...then they'd still die because he'd stand off a few miles and torch them with his heat vision. DC. What a joke.
@@pepeshadilayshould been a tease at rhe end. And then a full movie. And rhen the supermen shaquil o neal as Steel cyborg superman superboy And skip the last guy
Justice League wanted to have their cake and eat it too. They wanted to pretend like MoS and BvS either didn't exist or were completely different and that Superman was always a beacon of hope to the world. Even though BvS was all about how people didn't trust Superman and even Superman was so depressed that he didn't want to be Superman anymore. But then the whole plot of the movie is dependent on BvS. They're still using the plot set up in BvS. Batman's character motivation is dependent on the events of BvS. They constantly reference BvS.
A lot of people complained about that but I think it is normal to idolize people after they die. Like Lincoln and Kennedy were not universally loved in their day, both were actually pretty controvertial. But after their asassination everyone wanted to pretend they were best friends the whole time. But I do agree the movie seemed totally unaware of this fact and just straightforwardly acted like everyone loved Superman, instead of showing that they only remembered it that way.
They can't escape BvS because it's like the big thing they threw all their eggs to, but it's like they can't really stick with that formula, either, because people fucking hated it. So they had to make the biggest compromise ever just to make this work even a little.
Every time you guys said the bad guys name was Steppenwolf, I thought you were joking, because all I could think of was the band that played Magic Carpet Ride.
I thought it was really cool. I like when they just chill together. I always set aside a block of time every day to watch some RLM. And uhhh... something something ice... I dunno
A team of superheroes must face off against a villain from another realm with a horny hat who uses a magic cube and brings an army of faceless monsters to earth.
Avengers did it. To be fair the mother boxes are a piece of DC comics lore (they are) but the whole thing just came across as derivative and hackneyed. The problem is that WB/DC is in a reactive mode, and they don't have anyone at the top with any kind of vision to figure out what to do other than keep hiring Zack Snyder. Or go get Joss Whedon after he's done working with Marvel.
"Mark Hamill confesses to running a child sex slave ring with Stephen Spielberg and Robert Downey Jr. One of the boys who grew up in this ring by the name of Daniel Radcliffe (who rose to stardom after a particularly raunchy night with JK Rowling got him a starring role in the Harry Potter films) would later become a major player in the organization." There! I just ruined Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, and the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe in one fell swoop.
this was worth watching in 2020 for the gang's reaction to mike mentioning a "stand-alone joker movie outside the cinematic universe starring leonardo dicaprio or something" 28 minutes in

When talking about bringing Superman back to life, he should have referenced how in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock where they find Spock's body resurrected by the Genesis device and had to transfer Spock's katra from McCoy into Spock's new body.
Honestly I'm more excited for bad movies to come out so I can watch half in the bag than I am watching the actual movie. Like right after star wars I can't wait for a half in the bag and a probable plinkett review
uzah88 I absolitely adore Steppenwolf because I see him as a Venture Bros character. He's so lacking in self-awareness of how bad he sucks, and I keep picturing that annoying the Monarch, who makes fun of him behind his back. Steppenwolf fails in every scene he's in. When we first see him, he loses to cavemen and has a panic attack. When the dumbass Amazons decide to hide the Mother Box under a pile of rocks, Steppenwolf knocks down a thin stone wall and tackles a horse before fleeing in terror from 50 cavewomen a third his size with no armor and Bronze Age weaponry. Then he wrestles Aquaman to a draw despite being, again, three times his size. And unlike Zod and Doomsday, Superman breaks his fucking spine with a single punch, quips as he tortures him with his laser eyes, then tosses his battered body to be lynched by the Justice League, which causes Steppenwolf to have yet another panic attack and get dragged away by his own henchmen (?) to....somewhere? Fuck Thanos. THAT'S an arc!
The idea that darker = more mature is actually a very juvenile concept. The only people that actually think like this are 'new adults' who still feel a need to distance themselves from childhood. Once you become an 'actual adult' you realize that desaturating a movie and littering it with cursing and tits does not make it seem remotely 'more adult'. It just makes it look like it was written and directed by a 14 year old. It becomes especially ironic when the subject matter is the onscreen realization of your childhood hero fantasies. Protip for those still making the journey to adulthood: Once you actually get there, you'll probably spend the rest of your life (and half your paycheck) trying to reverse the process.
That's just about the only reason why Revenge of the Sith got so better reception than the other two prequels in spite of being just as shitty in terms of storytelling and cinematography and even worse in the dialogue department. Teens simply got wet at the idea of slaughtering children and the rest, including "professional" reviewers, followed suit.
I think there's a lot to that. I also am of the opinion that Zack Snyder isn't actually literate and never really read "The Dark Knight Returns" because that story didn't work for a starting point for either Batman or Superman because that's supposed to be the "Last" Batman story (Frank Miller said that). The problem is that Snyder thinks making things awful and dark and abysmal makes them better, and he doesn't understand that the whole relationship between Batman and Superman works because of the contrast with them. They're both good men trying to help people, but they don't agree on the best way to do that, which is what makes their interaction interesting. Snyder isn't actually interested in developing his characters or telling a story, he just wants the visual of Batman being murderous and Superman snapping peoples necks. He reminds me of a lot of people I knew in college who took introductory philosophy or economics classes and started blathering on about something they read two paragraphs about with existentialism or the labor theory of value (not to knock either of those disciplines they're both great and very interesting if you really get into them). He thinks he's saying something really deep, but in actuality he's as shallow as your average kiddy pool. The reason the dark moments in the MCU (such as the dark parts of Iron Man 3, Winter Soldier, Civil War, Guardians 2, etc.) work is because you have the lighter moments to contrast them. If you don't have that contrast then it doesn't hold together as a story but it also doesn't get you invested. Also, anyone who thinks BVS was equivalent to Casablanca or Citizen Kane needs their freakin' head examined. I love the Marvel movies, every one of them, but I have no illusions that they're top tier cinematic triumphs. They're great fun, and they've brought the comics world to life, but I would never say they're up there with the greatest movies of all time, and they don't have to be either.
I'm kind of immune to that delusion, since I loved dark and serious stuff as a kid, and only as an adult is more lighthearted material like The Brave Little Toaster and Winnie the Pooh palatable for me
If Superman can solo the entire threat presented to the planet in the Justice League movie while a combination of Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman can't stop it, what does it say about the competence of those heroes in this universe? There's zero need for the Justice League to exist if Superman can do their job better than they can. _BY HIMSELF._ I get it, Superman is obviously the strongest hero in the setting, there's no disputing that, but the Justice League is supposed to be formed to take on threats he can't take on alone and needs allies for. Instead, in this universe, it's formed as a replacement for him until he can be brought back and he proceeds to render the entire existence of the JL in this universe pointless by pretty much soloing the villain. So what do we learn from the Justice League movie? That the titular League are all fucking geeks and Superman can defend the planet by himself. Nice one DCEU, just die already.
EpoxyMuffin “LOX Gentlemen” at the very least is consistent all throughout with tone and a three-act structure. “Justice League” is all over the place, no consistency whatsoever.
they should just reboot their whole cinematic universe, it's impossible to save this mess, maybe they can do a crisis thing to explain a new timeline with new actors.
they don't even have to explain anything. it's not like anyone gave a shit when they replaced roadie? from iron man, or jim norton hulk, or mentioned katie holmes's extensive plastic surgery that turned her into maggie gyllenhaal. they could just make a movie with different actors playing the same characters and looks like guardians of the galaxy and people and nobody would care(unless it was terrible). it's like wb thinks people will be confused if it's a different actor as if it's real life
the force awakens was ok, take it as a "tribute" to the original trilogy. rogue one was an horrible piece of shit, it was like suicide squad, uninteresting plot, shallow uninteresting characters, it was a mess. the only good thing is the vader scene, but the rest is crap. now I want them to stop!. they keep announcing new star wars stuff when they haven't released what they already announced, episode 8 hasn't come out yet and they are already announcing like four more movies, it's insane. they are destroying the franchise, it's worse than lucas and his prequels.
God I hope you guys do a BVS/Justice League style review with Rich when the Snyder Cut drops. You’d be able to film yourself cackling at it like BOTW and everything lol Edit 7 months later: They did just that, AND the movie didn’t completely blow! Two pleasant surprises, for sure
Things I enjoyed: - Wonder Woman deflecting the machine gun fire - Cyborg introduction where he's talking to his dad - Steppenwolf's fight with the Amazons - "Evil" Superman fight - The image of Aquaman chugging a bottle of vodka
That will be interesting. I'd like to see them compare two different ways of how not to make a superhero movie, especially compared to movies like Infinity War and Joker. Or maybe it'll turn out alright. Maybe Zack Snyder already moved on from his family tragedy, and without constant pressure from WB and having to compete with Marvel he will turn out a decent product.
It’s the same damn movie how can it possibly be any better ? Because it’s longer and even worse now that they added all the shitty leftovers they didn’t add in the beginning ?
@@alesin1992 I mean no offence by this, but Snyder has already made terrible movies with no outside pressures. 300 was just a meme. Sucker Punch is running strong with a 22% on Rotten Tomatoes. Man of Steel and BvS are both terrible. There is no reason to assume that his cut of JL will be any good. Absolute best case scenario, it feels slightly less like the patched-together junkyard hulk it ended up as.
The part where Steppenwolf was interrogating this woman and she said please don't I have a family and he broke her neck left me in shock and it was made even worse by them cutting immediately to the flash trying to be funny with Batman.
The mustache played no important part in the plot, he could have shaved and the movie remain the same. That MI forced Dc to digitally insert a hairless lip on superman so their villain can twirl his mustache really shows something about Hollywood but I'm not quite sure what?
22:36 -- I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME. I was like "why are they ALWAYS in costume?" It added to that "Saturday Morning Cartoon" feel (GREAT analogy), and made it more difficult to take seriously.
interesting to come back after the Snyder Cut half in the bag and notice which assumptions about Snyder vs Whedon were right, what opinions changed over 3 years, and such

Apparently WB offered REPEATEDLY to pay for the digital addition of a mustache to the other movie because it was cheaper to add one than remove one, and the other studio repeatedly said no, he had to keep the real 'stache. So you're right on both counts--it would have been cheaper to add a fake one AND you're right that the other movie was still like "suck it, DCU."
NekoMouser Mission Impossibie was alot better...glad that film wasn’t ruined. Lol
The thing people don't get is they'd already shot scenes with the real mustache and then to gamble those scenes looking different due to adding a CGI mustache in other scenes with no real benefit to the other studio means no one in their right mind would make him shave it. Worst case scenario you're going to have to reshoot old scenes with again, no benefit to you.
Man, they should have just let superman have a mustache.

I burst into laughter when Bruce gave this monologue on how the World needs Superman.... he tried to kill him a couple of weeks before, right?
yeah but since his mommy's name is martha that means he must be good
Changed his mind.
Thats what happens when you rush multiple movies worth of character development. The price of doing whatever it takes to be different from the competition
The speech on why the World needs Superman comes really fucking great from someone who said "He has the power to take out the entire human race and if we believe there is even a one percent chance that he is our enemy, we have to take it as an absolute certainty!" especially when you also consider how that certain someone is also responsible for Superman's death.

That's probably the funniest and most accurate Star Wars analogy I've ever heard. 🤣🤣🤣
The most disappointing part of the movie was that Steppenwolf never even played Born to be wild😡
I think my head would have exploded had they done that.
I know comparing Nolan's take on comic book movies to WB's impossible nightmare disaster from Hell is old hate, but I wanna draw attention to something.
Watch the Justice League trailer. Count the shots of apocalyptic doomsday shots of things blowing up (WHICH YOU HAVE TO DO OTHERWISE PEOPLE WILL ASSUME THIS FILM CONTAINS NO EXPLOSIONS). Now think about Nolan: What were the stakes at the end of every movie? Did the Joker wanna fire a blu laser at the sky? No, he just wanted to blow up a boat, but because the fundamental story was so compelling, we wind up caring way more about the 200 people on a boat than we do Space Warlord #4 's master plan to end daylights savings time.
The simple fact is that the story dictates the stakes, not vice versa.

You do realize that it was Nolan who hired Zack to do MoS and convinced the stuido to fund it, he also had a hand in the story and production on both MoS and BvS. Snyder and Nolan are friends and work on each others movies without taking anything but producer credits....Zack literally grew the corn for Interstellar and also helped out on The Dark Knight.
carrottoponcrak erm nuke at the end of the trilogy?
Steve Nesbitt What?
Anybody remember the Justice League cartoon from the early 2000's? An entire fucking TV series with interesting plots and relatable characters, and when it's time to make a live-action movie, the best they can do is "badguy from space wants magic cubes".
That's true. Everybody just kind of showed up.
The JL cartoon series from the early 2000's,JL-Unlimited series,who followed and Young Justice,put the entire DCEU to shame,in terms of quality storytelling,characters and action.Generally speaking are the animated DC movies and series,top-notch,it's really funny,that they just can't manage to keep this quality on their live-action movies,with a couple of exceptions like Nolan's Batman trilogy or Wonder Woman.
1. I loved that show.
2. Describing the movie like that, I realize it's literally the Avengers, but instead of one magic cube, ITS THREE! Totally makes it better, DC.
King Chrollo what about Vixen?
Oda Swifteye Probably because Superman and Batman already had development in their own shows, and Flash was introduced in Superman's
Fun fact: Mike, who clearly couldn't care less about these super hero films, had to watch this masterpiece (at least) three times. Once in the cinema, once for their commentary track and once to take notes for their Snyder Cut review.

So why did they have to do all this random shit to bring Superman back to life, but at the end of BVS the dirt on his coffin starts to rise as if he’s still alive?
It's because Warner Bros. didn't plan their films out well.
Stop asking completely logical questions!
nighthawk4251 because dc assumed that everyone would be in a coma by the end of the film because of the braindead plot.
Carlos it was a mother box that gets its energy from something called the source (kinda like the speed force that gives the flash his speed) so it wouldn’t do anything to Superman because he gets his power from yellow stars
batman did say that he's not really dead. They basically defibrillated him

DC. What a joke.
Yeah! Amanda Waller, super genius: coerce a bunch of unpowered, unstable sociopaths to kill a demigod. I mean, if everybody was wearing kryptonite armor and shooting kryptonite weapons and they had someone whose power was to slow down Superman so he's not faster than the flash...then they'd still die because he'd stand off a few miles and torch them with his heat vision.

The death of Superman and then his three replacements were like some of the highest selling comics of all time ....and they fucked it up
Justice League wanted to have their cake and eat it too.
They wanted to pretend like MoS and BvS either didn't exist or were completely different and that Superman was always a beacon of hope to the world. Even though BvS was all about how people didn't trust Superman and even Superman was so depressed that he didn't want to be Superman anymore.
But then the whole plot of the movie is dependent on BvS. They're still using the plot set up in BvS. Batman's character motivation is dependent on the events of BvS. They constantly reference BvS.
+ExtraRareTrumpSteak Woah, there.
A lot of people complained about that but I think it is normal to idolize people after they die. Like Lincoln and Kennedy were not universally loved in their day, both were actually pretty controvertial. But after their asassination everyone wanted to pretend they were best friends the whole time. But I do agree the movie seemed totally unaware of this fact and just straightforwardly acted like everyone loved Superman, instead of showing that they only remembered it that way.
So how does Clark Kent go back to work after the Daily Planet has a eulogy for him in one of their papers? Or do they never address that?
KingOfMadCows that beacon of hope being Superman line not even the movie it was wonder woman guys wonder woman haha lol
They can't escape BvS because it's like the big thing they threw all their eggs to, but it's like they can't really stick with that formula, either, because people fucking hated it. So they had to make the biggest compromise ever just to make this work even a little.
Rich's Lois Lane voice was horrifyingly authentic
They didn't need Superman to defeat Steppenwolf. All they had to do was challenge him to a rock-off.

Avengers did it. To be fair the mother boxes are a piece of DC comics lore (they are) but the whole thing just came across as derivative and hackneyed. The problem is that WB/DC is in a reactive mode, and they don't have anyone at the top with any kind of vision to figure out what to do other than keep hiring Zack Snyder. Or go get Joss Whedon after he's done working with Marvel.

uzah88 I absolitely adore Steppenwolf because I see him as a Venture Bros character. He's so lacking in self-awareness of how bad he sucks, and I keep picturing that annoying the Monarch, who makes fun of him behind his back.
Steppenwolf fails in every scene he's in. When we first see him, he loses to cavemen and has a panic attack. When the dumbass Amazons decide to hide the Mother Box under a pile of rocks, Steppenwolf knocks down a thin stone wall and tackles a horse before fleeing in terror from 50 cavewomen a third his size with no armor and Bronze Age weaponry. Then he wrestles Aquaman to a draw despite being, again, three times his size. And unlike Zod and Doomsday, Superman breaks his fucking spine with a single punch, quips as he tortures him with his laser eyes, then tosses his battered body to be lynched by the Justice League, which causes Steppenwolf to have yet another panic attack and get dragged away by his own henchmen (?) to....somewhere?
Fuck Thanos. THAT'S an arc!

@@SomeBF They have time for Money Plane and Aquasplash, but not for Cats or Sonic. I would love to hear their reactions to those shitshows.
The idea that darker = more mature is actually a very juvenile concept. The only people that actually think like this are 'new adults' who still feel a need to distance themselves from childhood. Once you become an 'actual adult' you realize that desaturating a movie and littering it with cursing and tits does not make it seem remotely 'more adult'. It just makes it look like it was written and directed by a 14 year old. It becomes especially ironic when the subject matter is the onscreen realization of your childhood hero fantasies. Protip for those still making the journey to adulthood: Once you actually get there, you'll probably spend the rest of your life (and half your paycheck) trying to reverse the process.
ponytailjones tell that to the people at the r/DC_Cinematic subreddit. They think these movies are the modern day Casablanca.
I have the same problem with Game of The Thrones.
EVERYTHING is so fucking boring.
That's just about the only reason why Revenge of the Sith got so better reception than the other two prequels in spite of being just as shitty in terms of storytelling and cinematography and even worse in the dialogue department. Teens simply got wet at the idea of slaughtering children and the rest, including "professional" reviewers, followed suit.
I think there's a lot to that. I also am of the opinion that Zack Snyder isn't actually literate and never really read "The Dark Knight Returns" because that story didn't work for a starting point for either Batman or Superman because that's supposed to be the "Last" Batman story (Frank Miller said that). The problem is that Snyder thinks making things awful and dark and abysmal makes them better, and he doesn't understand that the whole relationship between Batman and Superman works because of the contrast with them. They're both good men trying to help people, but they don't agree on the best way to do that, which is what makes their interaction interesting. Snyder isn't actually interested in developing his characters or telling a story, he just wants the visual of Batman being murderous and Superman snapping peoples necks. He reminds me of a lot of people I knew in college who took introductory philosophy or economics classes and started blathering on about something they read two paragraphs about with existentialism or the labor theory of value (not to knock either of those disciplines they're both great and very interesting if you really get into them). He thinks he's saying something really deep, but in actuality he's as shallow as your average kiddy pool. The reason the dark moments in the MCU (such as the dark parts of Iron Man 3, Winter Soldier, Civil War, Guardians 2, etc.) work is because you have the lighter moments to contrast them. If you don't have that contrast then it doesn't hold together as a story but it also doesn't get you invested. Also, anyone who thinks BVS was equivalent to Casablanca or Citizen Kane needs their freakin' head examined. I love the Marvel movies, every one of them, but I have no illusions that they're top tier cinematic triumphs. They're great fun, and they've brought the comics world to life, but I would never say they're up there with the greatest movies of all time, and they don't have to be either.
I'm kind of immune to that delusion, since I loved dark and serious stuff as a kid, and only as an adult is more lighthearted material like The Brave Little Toaster and Winnie the Pooh palatable for me
This review is infinitely more entertaining than the movie. Hell, just the melting block of ice is more entertaining.

If Superman can solo the entire threat presented to the planet in the Justice League movie while a combination of Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman can't stop it, what does it say about the competence of those heroes in this universe? There's zero need for the Justice League to exist if Superman can do their job better than they can. _BY HIMSELF._
I get it, Superman is obviously the strongest hero in the setting, there's no disputing that, but the Justice League is supposed to be formed to take on threats he can't take on alone and needs allies for. Instead, in this universe, it's formed as a replacement for him until he can be brought back and he proceeds to render the entire existence of the JL in this universe pointless by pretty much soloing the villain.
So what do we learn from the Justice League movie? That the titular League are all fucking geeks and Superman can defend the planet by himself. Nice one DCEU, just die already.
Superman has always been disproportionately strong in the comics. But they still managed to wring the odd good story out of him :-)
Just like goku on dbz lol
Don't you have to have six people for a bowling team?
I mean obviously the JL needs to exist in order to revive Superman when he's killed so he can come back and win the fight later.
Exactly. The other heroes should be doing other stuff related to their unique talents while Superman fights/holds off the giant strong threat.
I wonder if Clark Kent just kind of showed up at the daily planet hoping nobody would've noticed he had been dead

The Snyder Cut is going to be real and he's getting $20 million from HBO to do it, I expect a RLM video on it when it releases.
That will be interesting. I'd like to see them compare two different ways of how not to make a superhero movie, especially compared to movies like Infinity War and Joker. Or maybe it'll turn out alright. Maybe Zack Snyder already moved on from his family tragedy, and without constant pressure from WB and having to compete with Marvel he will turn out a decent product.

@@alesin1992 I mean no offence by this, but Snyder has already made terrible movies with no outside pressures. 300 was just a meme. Sucker Punch is running strong with a 22% on Rotten Tomatoes. Man of Steel and BvS are both terrible. There is no reason to assume that his cut of JL will be any good. Absolute best case scenario, it feels slightly less like the patched-together junkyard hulk it ended up as.
@@lonemaus562 you tell'em
Am I the only one who goes back and rewatches RLM shit? "They're trying to make this... not horrible"
me and Rich went to the bathroom at the same time :D
I was able to grab a soda tho D:
I can't believe Just Ice Inc™ made a triumphant return. For the most infuriating stretch joke I've ever seen.
I shouldn't have expected anything less.
They wrote in the Barry Allen character and gave him a Wally West personality. I was not a fan.
Micah Welsch cant you blame them tho, barry had as much personality as a stick of wood
thats why in the 90s JL and JLU they had wally west and fit so much better.
Literally any Flash except for Barry is the kind of quippy character that they wrote in this movie.
Bitang Purwaditya Well, they could've just had Wally West.
The part where Steppenwolf was interrogating this woman and she said please don't I have a family and he broke her neck left me in shock and it was made even worse by them cutting immediately to the flash trying to be funny with Batman.
Funniest part is that wasn't even a Snyder scene
I'm taking a pass on justice league but I'm glad it exists so that I can enjoy redlettermedia trash it
"He needed to say 'Yoink'"... omg I died 😂
"Just Ice"
I RECOGNIZED THAT REFERENCE. AND I CLAPPED.
These are things i know!
The other movie was Mission Impossible apparently and yeah, Henry made the right choice.
The mustache played no important part in the plot, he could have shaved and the movie remain the same. That MI forced Dc to digitally insert a hairless lip on superman so their villain can twirl his mustache really shows something about Hollywood but I'm not quite sure what?
@@cocharles563 its hilarious honestly. Paramount just the competition fucking over the other guys (WB) 😂😂
That’s what Andy Signor said...
That's what Kevin Spicy said...
Brendan Weinerth Was expecting it, guess it was too much
James Wood too?
That's what Charlie Rose said.
peewl
What Cyborg said at the end was "Booyah", which was his catchphrase in the Teen Titans cartoon.
lolitstim I laughed way too loud when he said it. In the stupidest inflection possible.
Who’s here excited for half in the bag: Snyder Cut??!
can you pick up a Snyder Cut at the meat counter?
@@dionjohnson7881 Twitter is not real life.
@@dionjohnson7881 are you saying people wanting to see a movie the way it was originally intended? How is that toxic?
@@dionjohnson7881 how is what said toxic? If I said something involving insults and profanity, then yeah that's toxic.
The RLM review will be one of the very few I trust to be honest and level headed.
I demand a 10 hour long RLM review of the snyder cut.
Watch it with a fresh “Snyder-cut” of shaq meat
Yeah, eFAP that shit.
22:36 -- I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME. I was like "why are they ALWAYS in costume?" It added to that "Saturday Morning Cartoon" feel (GREAT analogy), and made it more difficult to take seriously.
The Flash looked like he stole the Red Power Rangers outfit and slapped his emblem on it. ;)
interesting to come back after the Snyder Cut half in the bag and notice which assumptions about Snyder vs Whedon were right, what opinions changed over 3 years, and such
That's what Max Landis said.
*slide whistle*
