The memory loss case in Comic book movies and its community is reaching new heights.
So the new Civil War trailer dropped and I patiently waited for the hypocrisy to begin, and it did. A few months back when DC released Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice trailer number 2, everyone in the comic book community lost their minds. Why did they reveal Doomsday, oh Lord Jesus help me?
I am trying to follow the logic but it’s still escaping me like a lot. Who exactly from the comics-nerdy-geeky community, didn’t expect the CGI Doomsday, much like I knew Spiderman would pop up in this 3
rd (or 2
nd depending if you count Super Bowl as a teaser) trailer. I didn’t expect for him to be CGI animated suit style after Ryan Reynolds made it a major issue in the entire Deadpool campaign (because it’s DC) but they did. Now Reynolds bashed
Green Lantern, Deadpool (as seen in Origins) and he never mentioned RIPD or Blade 3. Is he proud of them?
The whole idea of bashing one project that you were a part of seems a bit dumb and makes me question his agent, ability to read and choose projects. I mean as far as I can remember from his career Deadpool might be the only movie I enjoyed on a 100 % with him starring in it. Anyway not a fan of people that relay on hate to gather likes and amuse fans by bashing stuff. If the movies sucked, and you don’t like them and don’t want to be associated with them, then refund the checks you got from them, it’s easy.
It’s like each media publishes a new totally opposing article every 2 weeks, what is your opinion honestly. First its Marvel/Disney is crushing it, then its DC/Warner’s is crushing it, then its Marvel/Fox crushing it, then Fox sucks because Fantastic Four, then DC sucks because Doomsday, then Marvel sucks because they didn’t do Deadpool. I mean make up your got damn mind already.
It is so annoying at this point that I am really thinking that the internet is making people copy paste opinions from other people.
Do I love the Disney side of Marvel – nope! Do i wish they would make bad movies, not at all. That would reduce the chance of me enjoying DC movies if the genre starts making less box office.
I wish they make awesome movies so the genre continues to exist as long as I live and nerd out 5-6 times a year. But it’s the super fanboys that bash and repeat shit they heard on a website or a meme till death that bugs me the f@#k out.
One moment they bash Fox and post memes how Fox should revert the right to X Men and FF back to Disney, now its man Deadpool is the best movie ever. Marvel is the best, only they can make such a great R rated movie, all of a sudden it’s no longer Fox, its Marvel that did it (WOW). Fantastic Four forgotten and put in the Things I pretend didn’t happen folder.
And if let’s say you liked The Avengers and think it a better movie than all other CBM, that doesn’t automatically make bad movies that are interconnected with it good. So stop trying to convince people that Ant-man is a genius movie or that The Incredible Hulk is so awesome and that it has a good score on Rotten Tomatoes and that makes it a masterpiece.
Oh see,
Man of Steel has 56 % on Rotten Tomatoes, so this means that Batman v Superman will have a 57 % in 2 weeks. Zack Snyder doesn’t write good dialogue so BVS will suck, but Chris Terrio has an Oscar so what does Zack have to do with the dialogue morons?
Now don’t get me wrong I do like the Civil War trailer, I do prefer the Super Bowl teaser over this one but it’s a question of the tone I what I expect from it. So I think even if this MCU movie makes less money than others before it, for me it might be their best work to date, better than The Avengers and Captain America TWS. Box office is much more reliant on non-geeks and their taste than geeks.
If you notice
PG13 makes more money than R ratings, so yes Deadpool might do 600-700-800 million but that is still double the amount less than TDK, Avengers 1 and 2 and Iron man 3. So where do these 600 Million less come from, non-nerds buddy!! People that go and see those movies because someone that they know told them that it rocks. A parent with his family that wants to spend 3 hours outside of their home. Do not ever underestimate families, they are the ones that are making Pixar and Disney filthy rich, every animated movie that is funny, family friendly will make a bunch of money and the fact that a family is usually a minimum of 3 people, you can calculate the power of family friendly. That is why with Disney, you will never get a real
Black Widow origin movie. Never believe me.
The thing that bother me is all those critics on the internet that have not seen BVS and judge it based on one thing alone, but don’t apply it when it comes to their favorite properties.
One example would be the Screen Junkies that made a “
Will Batman v Superman Suck?” video which then turned into “Will BVS be great?” video. Now they uploaded a Civil War reaction and commentary video and they invited 2 Marvel fans with one DC dude and praised the hell out of this trailer. Oh my god its Spiderman, what a surprise.
I mean a lot of those channels reacted very similar, I didn’t really get the point why this is any different than trailer 2 for BVS, I think I now know more about Civil War then I do for BVS.
It’s so obvious, Caps and team have a conflict with Crossbones and something that takes a lot of lives goes down. Then General Ross asks of them to account for their actions. Caps team goes on the run as they did from
HYDRA in TWS, during the battle with Crossbones someone close to Black Panther dies *(or they did die in an Winter Soldier assassination). Now Cap sees that TWS has regained his old self and is trying to help him get back on his feet and join his cause for good. That brings Black Panther to team Iron Man, Spiderman is a fan of Tony Stark, he will either get mentored, suited by him and naturally go to his team.
The rest is pretty clear Black Widow has been a Cap sidekick since The Avengers and now she may be a double agent just for the additional plot twist, Hawkeye vs Black Widow is something we are getting since The Avengers and it’s never fresh or ground breaking, Ant-Man was recruited by Falcon and makes sense to be on team Cap, Scarlet Witch was mentored by him in Avengers 2 sort of. From Iron Man’s team Vision more or less is Jarvis so his allegiance is expected and War Machine is his longtime friend. No major surprises there.
People were crying for over 3 years that
Batman v Superman is overcrowded, we have Batman and Superman in the title so those are expected I guess and a supporting role from Wonder Woman. Flash is probably a scene from the nightmare sequence and Aquaman is referenced or teased for a minute or two. That is a problem. But when the new Captain America movie that has all the Avengers plus two new ones comes out, that is not a problem.
How is that exactly, some explain in the comments below please?
I guess it’s because marvel took their time with 5 not so good movies (lets be honest - nothing super impressive besides Iron man), that didn’t make a lot of money to bring me
The Avengers - that gives them the right to make whatever they want and not get critics say anything.
Many of the critics are ridding the
Marvel train as they do a lot of interviews and get invited to those events to cover for whatever media there is related for the new MCU movie. Professionally it will be suicide to say “How did you manage to make Thor the Dark World such a average movie and still get to make another one? “ (Because it is part of a bigger franchise is the correct answer here).
No one is saying those things, and they are saying those things for
Man of Steel because they think this was the last DC attempt, but guess what. There is already Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, Justice League is starting production in a month. The teams for Aquaman and Flash are starting early on pre-production outlines and script drafts are being discussed. So its save to say that soon they will start sucking up to Warner’s and well and those negatives will be less and less. When you have 2 movies a year to cover that are major, you tend to think more or less business like.
Yes people bash Man of Steel for destruction but as we see from the trailer for Civil War a lot of people died in New York, Washington and Sokovia as well. No one gives a shit about that obviously, the power of memory loss.
Not to sound critical but if DC is considered a underdog, then why is Marvel making Civil War, two Part Avengers movie, Captain Marvel and Black Panther after DC announced BVS, JLA two part, Cyborg and Wonder Woman ?
And in other news BVS is now tracking around the 180 Million opening weekend, so that’s good. With such a good opening I think we can assume it will break some records on its own.
For a second instalment in the DCEU making a billion or more, I am not concerned about DC movies.
