Actually looks good. So if this is like Wonderwoman.....what are the next couple of shitty movies that DC will put out?

He may be taking the blame for the tone, and some of that's justified since he was the front man, but DC and WB execs all signed off on everything he did.
I, personally, still don't have a problem with it. They didn't want to do the same thing that Marvel was already doing. And that's fine. The movies themselves just needed to be better executed. Although (and one caveat: I still haven't seen JL) I still don't think those movies are nearly as bad as their critical reaction. And we're going to see more and more of that as social media grows. The hive mind decides what's good and what's not. |

The hive mind raved about Wonder Woman, after all. |

What I mean by hive mind is that there's no discussion about anything in social media (and this place is social media...). There's only conflict. My team versus your team. Everything has to be black or white. Anything you talk about has to be either awesome or awful. There's no middle ground, and 90% of any discussion about anything is really just people trying to convert everybody to their side. And that's where I go to the hive mind. It's taking over what used to be discussion about everything. Movies. Sports. Politics. Humanity is now borg. Resistance is futile. |

Weird, because everyone else seems to be able to hold a conversation about a variety of topics w/o being a perpetual nag about everything. I think it's funny. Like a cartoon character. I don't want JPB to change, don't get me wrong. Constantly posting like you're the most miserable human on earth is funny. Intentional or not. |

He was alright in Justice League but that entire movie was just one large gloom fest. It was the first time I watched a movie in theaters and understood what people meant by cookie cutter.

Oh god, so much of that CGI looked cringe-worthy. I hope it improves for the final cut.
Also, Momoa may look the part, but god damn he is just an awful actor. |

So Atlantis is essentially White Wakanda?
And for the record, I still think the constant need to bitch about the DC Universe is stupid. Apart from Suicide Squad, those movies have ranged from tolerably brainless to genuinely good. And if this has as much Amber Heard in it as it appears, I'm on board. I mean, I know she has to have contracted some of Johnny Depp's various diseases and terminal crazy, but still - that girl's good lookin' right there. Not sure the fake red hair works, but whatever. |
