DC Cinematic Universe ( The James Gunn era)

[Mudd]

I was about to ask what MAGA versions of the DC heroes would look like then realised it would just be an unsatirical version of 'The Boys'.

Man of Steel.

Or a world in which The Watchman and All-Star Batman are the genre and not deconstructions of it.

I would genuinely pay to see a goddamn All-Star Batman movie but only as a goddamn Elseworlds not the real goddamn thing.

Man of Steel.

Some will take this as simple snark, but the fact is that Snyder’s tendencies to fetishize masculine power and to validate selfishness as a philosophy are very much in the right-wing wheelhouse.

Man of Steel Appreciation

I personally love Man of Steel. It is my favorite version of Superman on film. I wrote an extensive review when it came out and talked at length about it in a podcast. I wanted to start this tread to talk about the movie with other people positively. There are may forums online where people...

It literally took three more posts to get into another 'MoS and Snyder suck' debate...

I'll just see how this topic is doing when the Supergirl trailer drops.

Is "Look, his opinion changed over ten years!" an attempted gotcha? It'd be a lame effort.

The scary people are the ones who see the world the way they did thirty or fifty years ago. Probably shouldn't be allowed to operate heavy machinery.

That’s facile. Nobody said “MoS and Snyder suck,” I said certain aspects of his films are right-coded, with examples. If you don’t want to engage with it, that’s your prerogative, but it’s not an illegitimate line of analysis.

(I also choose to assume that the nonsensical Bizarro Earth in S&L season 2 was the result of some kind of subconscious hiccup in Oliver's mind, since there's no possible way it could have formed that way spontaneously or stayed that way if the laws of physics worked in any coherent way, so it could only have been artificially created and maintained.)

The cubical Bizarro world has existed off-and-on in Superman's fictional universe since at least the 1950s.

It's a comic book. Stop treating it as if it's in any way plausible as "science fiction."

Indeed. In a decade or two you might even cool on SNW and Superman '25.

In a decade or two I'll most likely have cooled on...everything.
