The Official DC Cinematic Universe thread - Now Showing - "The Justice League"

[matches malone]

i hate to say it but following the xmen model is not the worst idea. Fox had movies that made BvS and suicide squad look like masterpieces, but they kept at it and now they got a better TV presence that Marvel does, a new, younger cast to continue the franchise, ryan reynolds building the world around him, gave Logan a proper sendoff, and theyre not giving a fuck what Marvel is doing with their movies. And the TV and movies do have a shared universe, they just dont beat you over the head with it.

Everything else just seems like suggesting they wanna do more stuff like wonder woman which is a step in the right directions. Drop all these team up movies and build up your characters. find the next patty jenkins (David Ayer gave me hope but WB seriously fucked that one up). Maybe Wan will pull it off.

I like the X-Men approach way more than the MCU approach personally. Story > continuity. DC used to be about that once upon a time. Go back to the roots.

It'll be so dope to see Michael Jai White as The Green Lantern

Damn shame Idriss is Heimdall cause he would have been the perfect Jon Stewart man...just cant see Michael Jai as Jon...Jon is suppose to be a better strategist than the gottdamn batman, a true leader etc

I wouldn't be able to picture MJW playing a jewish comedian either.

if X-men story >>> MCU continuity concerning X men movies then why is their catalogue pretty average overall ?

Because they had a period of mediocrity from The Last Stand to First Class. That doesn't change the fact that their strongest entries are pretty exceptional because of story and character and far ahead of other superhero franchises when it comes to that.

i cant agree , they are very hit n miss in both character and story development, even to this day , but they been on a roll with Deadpool & Logan.

Lol at the X-Men stories being better than MCU's. I will say that X-Men stories in the comics are better than Avengers, Cap's, Thor's, Black Panther, GOTG and Ant-Man.

Fox dropped the ball when it came to putting the story on film.

X2, Logan, Days of Future Past, First Class and Legion all objectively have better character driven stories and stronger themes than MCU movies. You need to remove yourself from your comic nerd feelings if you can't see how. Ok these are not the X-Men movies & TV shows you wanted. Boo hoo. Doesn't lessen the actual stand out quality of those productions though.

 

[TheNightKing]

I'd agree that X-Men could have been some next level shit given the characters and stories developed in the comics and cartoons. The tone of some of those movies could have been like Logan and set the franchise apart as great movies with no gimmicks. They went too kiddy with X-Men.

In actuality, the tone DC was going for was better suited for X-Men and vice versa.

 

[Broddie]

Keep in mind I hate Bryan Singer and no these are not the X-Men movies I dreamed of as a kid. However if I keep it one hunnid he and his team have assembled better MOVIES than any other superhero movie assembly line.

For the simple fact that they all had a beginning, middle and end and each came to satisfying conclusions. They feel like fully realized motion pictures. That's why they've endured for 17 years now.

You can watch X2 and no other X-Men movie and still walk away satisfied. They don't feel like incomplete episodes in a long running TV show like a lot of other modern day superhero movies do.

If WB/DC could accomplish a similar feat then more power to them.

FOH. X-Men movies was borderline ass but oh no they gave us a cool storyline lol WTF. If the storyline is cool but if it doesn't turn into a great scene/ film then DC is back to square one. Why not have both both be good?

Take The Gifted for instance. Great show and great story and they didn't follow the source material but still the show is great because they wrote something worth a damn

The same could be said about a lot of the movies but your bias is so strong it completely blinds you from ever realizing it.

I agree. How can fox reboot the franchise and fuck up the third movie in the franchise again. It's their fault because they flew too close to the sun with age of apocalype and Apocalypse wasn't the reason the movie was bad. Just like xmen last stand they had too many stories or too Much going on at the same time. It was too early to bring in Apocalypse. How is a team of barely experienced teenagers going to defeat apoc and the four horsemen being that they were a team of Mostly omega level mutants. The cast sucked I didn't like cyclops ,nightcrawler or jean gray, and quicksilver shouldn't have returned. They threw William striker in their and that weapon x scene for the hell of it. The movie was straight trash. millennial idiots in YouTube comments think Fox's quicksilver was the better version because he had swag when marvels version was more true to the character. Now thanks to fox we have an avengers team with the scarlet witch but no quicksilver.

How can you say quicksilver marvel was true to the character when the nigga died and was barely in th movie anyway

Ayo shut up Infinity War trailer dropped

nothing else we need to talk about b

Link or it didn't happen.

Because Fox's quicksilver was a one trick pony who saved people with a slow motion freeze time music montage that's why. He wasn't needed innx men apocalypse and he did the same shit in that movie also. Pay attention son.

In the Marvel thread b it's lit

Not really a fan so I never visit that thread.

Gonna avoid the trailer anyway. I might actually see that movie and would prefer to go in as fresh as possible.

Mr Ma'amhattan is the all powerful tranny superhero. He's Idiopathic Joker's favorite character.

Most of the XMEN movies are straight trash, that not something you want to emulate.
