SUPERMAN by James Gunn (Coming 2025)

After Thor The Dark World, Ragnarok was a god send lol

 

[the next guy]

Let's go! This is going to be the biggest WB hit in a while.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

This movie was ASS... You can tell the type of viewer by which movies they like

Some people love comics as a movie... Campy, silly, impossible, but that's comics

Others just want a good ass fukking movie and could care less if everything is canon...



And those two people clash every single fukking time

As a kid in the 90s I was really really into comics and I would say that the stuff I was reading then was more serious in tone and violent than the MCU movies. Even when I got back into comics in the late 2000s the seriousness and violence ramped up a bit.

I still don't get the massive praise for Thor Ragnarok. They leaned way into the comedy and felt like two separate movies stitched together.

It followed 2 mediocre/trash movies and it was enjoyable.

Yea well clearly they got rid of all the violence unless it's deadpool or wolvie.....


I'm more speaking on people will love a shytty movie cause "it was spot on with the comics tho"

And hate a good movie cause "he doesn't act like that in the comics"


Ok cool, and this other character wasn't black before... but was it a good movie or not?

I liked the first movie
I haven't seen the second movie since I saw it in the theater and I thought it was just average. I think the villain of that movie didn't really grab me

I get what you are getting at. I was just pointing out how the MCU was more light-hearted and kid friendly than the comics I grew up reading.

This will be an interesting quote to revisit next year.

Considering both FF and Supes are coming a few weeks apart makes this argument silly.

Both movies are remixing and taking huge swings with their depictions.

Stuff doesn’t cause sometimes stuff doesn’t work. Canon or not.

Max Lord being comic accurate doesn’t inoculate him from criticism any more than any changes makes him better.

 

[EzekelRAGE]

Crypto shouldve been a pit

 

[Kang Deezy]

I trust in Gunn.

 

[pez]

I think it was the wrong move. Too many of the MCU movies had the same feel after phase 2

It worked for Ragnarok. That's my favorite movie. But yea, after that it's too much. Gunn has pretty good taste when it comes to not letting the joke go too far (Love and Thunder).

 

[Apollo Creed]

I trust in Gunn.

dude made the world care about a bunch of mid ass nobodies so I can't fathom him fukking up the shyt people care about lol. The only thing that can be debated but even then it can't because it is subjective is the TONE. Like I said from what I see I think Superman is going to be a Goofy Goodie 2-shoes in a DARK ASS WORLD WITH REAL CONSEQUENCES, which is why Gunn even lead and the character in general is a symbol of hope. Like Prince Akeem in Coming to America where dude is so hopeful in a world that don't have time for hope lol.

Yea, i had a post years ago praising the MCU for doing the improbable... making modern Americans of all cultures and creed collectively root for an old-fashioned blonde blue-eyed aryan from 1930s America

Their depiction of Rogers was unanimously liked if not adored, whereas even to this day nyggas still arguing about Cavill's Superman. In fact I see we're now divisive on the divisiveness

So yea, it's gut check time for Superman and Gunn. Is it truly still a big 3 (Spidey, Batman, Superman) or is that just old nygga babble in 2024? Can't wait

I'd say for the past 2 decades the big three has been (Ironman, Batman, Spiderman)
