Can DC movies survive Superman vs Batman Underperforming?

[Roman Brady]

Nah breh that was a good ass movie fukk your opinion.

What MoS? no offense but are you younger than 25 and a heavy gamer by chance?

 

[Roman Brady]

Well I enjoyed MOS. Thought it was the best Superman movie and the best comic book movie that came out in 2013.
But I also didn't think it was all that dark...serious, sure bit not dark.

Considering that was the same year as Thor 2, Ironman3 and Kickass 2 thats not indicative of much. But you honestly found MoS better than the wolverine? Is it because superman is more storied and iconic?

Wonder woman got a fan base?

Linda carter and her show has a fanbase but i didnt think ppl were really checking for WW outside of feminists

Some movie franchises are impervious to backlash from critics and even poor word of mouth, etc.

Like I said before, all you have to do is look at the Transformers series. I don't know many people that like them. I think the hate is a bit overblown but damn, the reviews are got damn hideous and it don't mean shyt. Each time one drops it's guaranteed a billy.

No matter what the reviews are this shyt will do numbers.

transformers was just an extension of bay who often gets lambasted to hell yet will still make a buck load of money. A bad review or word of mouth of what should be the comic book movie of all comic book movies is a different matter entirely.Especially with this being WB/DC answer to marvel's avengers

So people saw the Transformers movies because of Michael Bay? They saw it cause it's Transformers

 

[Dwolf]

Its gonna do numbers regardless if its good or not.

 

[Still Benefited]

As a DC fan I don't really care about live action shyt....I'll watch but I prefer animated shyt

Whoever writes the animated might need to help them out if this movie is as bad as MOS...the cartoon wasn't any less "dark and edgy" than MOS was...just had better writing.

at people going "Well it is getting shytty reviews and has a bunch of giant robots fighting and explosions and shyt but Michael Bay is heading it up"

the fuk is up with your reading? i said like most of bay productions criticism isnt far yet when you see the box office takings its so transformers was just the same old song and dance.

at people going "Well it is getting shytty reviews and has a bunch of giant robots fighting and explosions and shyt but Michael Bay is heading it up"

blind leading the blind

This.

It's money in the bank. Underperform? Methinks not.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Batman vs Superman gonna do crazy numbers. It's fukking Batman vs Superman brehs!

exactly... i tried to wrap my head around a flop... maybe ben affleck... maybe it'll look cheesy


then i think of the entire fukking WORLD.... and the fact it's batman and superman.... in the first live movie together.... EVER


they might as well start printing the money now

 

[Fillerguy]

I don't think cats realize that normal people don't give a damn(and many can't tell the difference) about whether a movie is DC or Marvel.


This

Its 2015 and ppl are still saying this. I know women who are marvel stans who laugh at superman. Thats excuse is like 8 years old breh. Lines have been drawn. Its a new game out here, shyts mainstream now.

I dont know if you are kidding but its true, esp with the stinky way DC/WB intend on doing their movies, kids arent stupid. They can sense the color scheme and tone of something like MoS compared to GOTG and call foul, easily.Y'all think these marvel movies that did numbers were just from one viewing?

 

[Jello Biafra]

Considering that was the same year as Thor 2, Ironman3 and Kickass 2 thats not indicative of much. But you honestly found MoS better than the wolverine?

See I can't understand how someone could shyt all over MOS and then think Wolverine was good.
The action scenes were weak as fukk.
The Jean Grey stuff was overly melodramatic bullshyt.
The villains sucked from top to bottom.
And the entire story was just ridiculously stupid.
The best thing about The Wolverine was that odd looking chick as Yukio and that after credit scene where Prof. X and Magneto showed up.
