It really is the genie's curse; be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!

Rings of Power deciding to bring in a directing cast whose credits include Witcher season 2, Wheel of Time, Sandman and some drama shows for teen girls makes it clear how little these people pay attention to their customer base. The only reason they decided to have only female directors is so that they can call LotR fans misogynistic when the second season is even more hated than the first.

I think there’s like 20 something films that all tie together with a huge finish. They had those films to go off of and they still couldn’t get a proper live action film right. I seriously recommend watching the animated film series, on top of stand alone animated films that were based on comics like The Dark Knight Returns and the Death of Superman.

01:48:48 exactly what I dread the most. 10 years ago, the announcement of a sequel or a new farscape series would have made me very happy. Now, I hope on the contrary that nobody touches it and that we leave this series alone, because I am 100% convinced that it would be completely massacred to be "adapted to a modern audience" (while it is already perfect as it is). So leave farscape alone.

These discussions are always a treat, I'm being serious, I've never felt bored listening to you guys talk for 3 hours, in fact I want more. I have these in a playlist on repeat when I'm driving to work or cooking dinner. LOVE IT!

The almost fatally ironic thing about the Rock's ill fated DC run is that it was the last, best chance to finally get Cavill back as Superman. WB in their infinite stupidity, never had any intention to bring him back, and remember too he was supposed to be replaced permanently by Mexican Supergirl in the Flash. It took the Rock and whatever muscle he had in Hollywood to literally strong arm them into letting Cavill cameo in Black Adam, and that was after going over Walter Hamada's head. To have kept Cavill, Black Adam NEEDED to be a huge hit. The fact that it wasn't was just another nail in Cavill's coffin. The studio simply never wanted him after they tossed Snyder. And speaking of Snyder, I'm hardly a huge fan of his. I think he's a director of a similar vein as George Lucas: what he's good at, he's good at but prone to over indulgence and excess if not checked by competent partners. That being said, he's spoken before on his vision for his DC films. He envisioned essentially, and I'm paraphrasing, a 5 film arc akin to a mythological epic. He never wanted to do an episodic, multi-phase approach like Marvel. It was supposed to go MoS->BvS->JL1->JL2->JL3. The studio however, started pressuring him as soon as they began production on BvS. Now I'm not saying his vision would have been good, but he did have one. It was never scatterbrained, random bullshit GO! Approach we got after BvS and Whedon's JL underperformed. At the end of the day though, I feel awful for Cavill. He's perfect for Superman, but the powers that be for whatever reason don't want him to be. I loved MoS, BvS, and ZSJL. He'll always be my Superman. As for Gunn, I have less than no hope for his DCU right now. I will preface that by saying he CAN win me back. If he puts his money where his mouth is and makes good film, with well casted characters, and uplifiting messages. No MCU clones. No overstuffing with corny humor. But I will say, he's not inspiring any confidence in me so far. He knew ditching Henry was going to cause an uproar, and rather than try and ease fans' concerns, he's instead gone the route of lassoing any and all criticism of his decisions as "tHe ToXiC fAnDoM", basically said he doesn't care what fans have to say, and that his vision is all that matters. Sorry, dude, no. So I've been a lifelong DC heroes fan. I grew up on all the animated series, The Keaton Batman films, etc. But methinks it's time to just unplug for a while.

The willow description gave me one of the biggest laugh attacks in years.

It took me 4 episodes, but I eventually arrived at Little Platoons state when it comes to watching Willow. I was super excited to the show since it was announced, its one of my favorite movies. After the first episode I was hurt. After the second episode I was angry. After the third episode I was crying. And after the fourth episode I was laughing. It broke my heart and really hurt me inside, BUT now I just dont care. And now that I dont care, its the funniest shit I have ever seen.

Interesting how they call Black Adam an inoffensive movie, despite it clearly being racist against white men. Couldn't be happier that it bombed. Bounding into Comics sums it up nicely: "As for why the film isn’t raking in the cash, the film and its marketing made it clear it was embracing wokeness through its casting. The film features blatant woke casting including a race-swapped Hawkman played by Aldis Hodge and a race swapped Cyclone played by Quintessa Swindell. Swindell also claims to be a nonbinary trans actor despite that being an impossibility as humans are born either male or female." May I add that Johnson playing BA is a race swap because he himself is mixed race, whereas in the comics he's white. People are SICK of this racist and trans / LGBT crap.

IF we would have good writers without politics and shit a way to go would be like the old Indy-TV-show: An old Indiana, played by Harrison, talks about past adventures and in these he is played by a new actor. And sometime old-Indy can do something cool as well...

1:52:21 100% Fuck sake this is the director formally know as THE James Cameron, his own high standards, his iconography influenced countless games and films, its bloody unacceptable that he'd waste his latter years on this scutter. He could have picked any subject matter as a film in the 00/10's and I'd be more interested than in what he ls doing now. OK maybe Avatar influenced the last decade of live action CGI fests, the 2007 Transformers, too, that could be shat out factory like, movie like CGI on TV too.

Dear god. Why on earth didn't they do Crisis as a reboot? Spend the money to get as many rights to likeness, etc so you can bring in every possible version you can find or CG. Get Reeves and Cavil and Welling and Cain (and Keaton and Carter and Galdot etc) and all the rest. Then use that to jumpstart whoever you are going to move to next.

What a shocker. The whole reset thing is old and never seems to work well. And you hit the nail on the head the actors suffer because of the poor writing. These are the same actors who have done a decent job with poor scripts and could have really excelled if the scripts were better. Another origin story is the possible reason! How many origin stories do we need not only in Movies but in series as well. I think a new SM movie with Henry would have done well, and they are wasting a good opportunity here. I loved Heelvs input, and I feel the same way. Henry is Great and deserves much better. Wokeness is ruining everything, and I believe there is a component of this at play here.

so i like the nihilistic superhero movie/tv shows only because the only hope and happiness is boring and not interesting(to me). and how az said basically he wanted to see more hope so when he leaves the theaters he could feel hope to do better in his life. when i heard that i hear “i need to see more women, black, gay etc. in my movies so i can feel seen/feel empowered” they’re both basically the same in my eyes. but i do think a superman character should be hopeful so batman can be more noir and nihilistic.
