Is it just me, or has this thread become completely unreadable?
DC Movies - To Infinity and Beyond
- Thread starter dahj
- Start date
If you mean the tedious back-and-forth about the Joker and Thanos and what the fuck ever, delivered in endless TL;DR treatises ... then no, it's not just you.
Okay then.
You're absolutely right, and I'm sorry for my part in it.
And at the risk of appearing overly suspicious, part of me thinks that this is exactly what @Anwar wanted. So from my side, I'm done discussing Marvel movies in this thread. It's the DC Movie thread, and that's what I'll happily restrict myself in my future posts.
Yes. Admittedly I am mostly a lurker in these thread, so maybe my opinion has little value. But I read a lot threads on this forum I do not post in. This one has severely stood out like a sore thumb lately...
So many threads deteriorate into the same crap about Marvel v DC. Same people posting the same tired arguments over and over.
Some of you like Marvel and not DC; some of you like DC and not Marvel. We get it. Maybe let those of us who enjoy both just get on with the thread?

Friendly suggestion - maybe this specific thread is unneeded? Just threads on specific films.
As of right now Wonder Woman 1984, Birds of Prey( etc, etc Harley Quinn, I like the title but and too lazy to type or remember the exact words
) , and the Joker film are actually in production. Shazam! will be released in 2 months.
Beyond those everything else is pure conjecture. Studios announce films in development that do not always make it to the screen. It happens all the time. An Aquaman sequel is almost a sure thing. But nothing has been officially announced yet.
Usually casting announcements, actual official announcements not just online rumors, are the sign that something is going into production. Usually! Nicholas Cage in Tim Burton’s Superman almost happened. George Miller’s Justice League Movie too.
I generally like most of Marvel’s movies even though I grew up reading DC. It’s so petty to get into online feuds like they are Political Parties. There is very little DC publishes anymore I like. Even though I admire what Marvel has accomplished in movies, I rarely watch them again. It’s like watching a long running tv series out of habit than loyalty or even great excitement. I like the individual hero solo movies much more than the actual Avengers crossover events. Same for DC films. That was always the case when I read comics too. Crossovers usually are very gimmicky to show off all the characters existing together.

Way to reasonable for this thread.
You really have a problem with anything that isn't afraid to be unashamed of itself and properly comic-booky, don't you? Bet you loved Fant4stic.
No, just no operatic monologues.
Yes-sense, if an enemy has shown it's willing to do all that and not negotiate and Strange already knew about Thanos from Banner and what he did to the Asgardians then they knew there was no point in talking. You don't waste time when the enemy has shown they aren't going to listen.
Actually, with posts like this you are proving YOU haven't read much classic Spidey. He never had a proper "greatest enemy" until they brought Norman back in the 90s.
No, he was important but it was about Peter first.
Very much not the greatest, and Octavius was poorly done in that film with the "The tentacles were controlling him!" idea.
No, just Dark Knight. An overrated wannabe crime drama made by someone ashamed of comics.
Desperation, you can't afford to be wholly logical in such a bad situation and you know talking isn't an option. That's what made it real, as opposed to something like Dark Knight or DOFP where they can pause to give operatic monologues.
What exactly is that, other than your go to phrase?
He is referring to Alfred saying things like "You die a hero or live to see yourself become the villain", one of the better phrases in superhero movie history.
Oh, I like this answer soooooo much better than mine.
Holy shit... Rowan Atkinson used to be young...
It was Dent who said that, and it's an example of Nolan not thinking things through while trying to be profound otherwise he'd have had Rachel or Bruce immediately counter with real life examples like George Washington, Cincinnatus, Nelson Mandela, etc.
Exceptions that are so rare that they prove the rule more so than disprove it.
