the statement

I can't disagree with something I don't know what it is.

can't agree with it either.

I cant possibly believe you are not doing this on purpose

Well my perspective changes based on the goal. The goals aren't mentioned.

yeah I'm not bothering with this anymore lol. GLHF

apparently there is yet another movie featuring the joker?

ok?

They're going to run the Joker's reputation into the ground by constantly switching actors and putting him in every mediocre movie

can we just throw anyone who utters the words "origin story" in a pitch into a dumpster? I feel like that solves roughly half the problem

Ya, i prefer luke skywalker as the joker.

thats a conservative estimate, fwiw

idk, the lack of origina stories was a problem for DC movies...

I think it was the lack of good movies

You dont really need an origin story for batman or superman. Everyone knows that story

DC just makes bad films yeah

I really like origin stories, but DC just hasn't done good ones.

ya, but the stories change with the times.

so, you kinda do.

you don't nee dto rebooot them every other year though...

Every Batman Origin Story movie is "Criminal killed my parents and I'm rich"

bit more to it than that.

just like every Spiderman origin story movie is "Uncle Ben died because I was a cock and didnt use my radioactive spider powers". They just skipped it for the new one from what I've heard

and theyre just formulaic at this point

The spiderman PS4 game did a pretty funny nod to the sam raimi movies

I tried to watch Dr Strange for instance, then went "Oh okay, I know the 2 new things they'll show here" and left the room

At one point you're on an out of control subway train and he goes to the front and starts doing the thing from spiderman 2 where he webs up the walls and trys to hold on, but the webs all just snaps and he's like "I was so sure that would work"

wew

but yeah I think DC needs to do what Marvel was forced to do. Leave the biggest names out, work with the next level down or lower

they just need to not get caught in a formula, like Marvel also did

Shazam is actually a good move. It looks pleasant

I *might* actually watch it

marvel put in the time to build the characters

I wonder if Marvel using the superheroes that normies are less familiar with like Thor and Ironman helped them out. Like if it helped audiences get over the stigma of 'ewww nerdy superheroes'

well I mean people watched Thor for cheesecake

lets be real here

To be fair there wasn't much else going for the first movie.

but I think people enjoy at least the superificial difference of having a lesser known, more obscure character show up

MCU doesn't have the rights to my favorite guys, Magneto and Dr Doom

So I don't watch

didnt they buy Fox's shit?
