I assume if you are reading this right now you want either some justification for me calling (most of) you children, or so that you can troll me in some way shape or form. As I said before there are two things that prompted this article: The sentinel backlash and the backlash the Zack Snyder was working with studio execs. So without any further ado,
DISCLAIMER: The following is going to be VERY informal and unstructured.
The Sentinels
Yes, you guys really hated this thing, and I must admit I did too. I realized something though, there was a clear difference between the way I hate something and you hate something. When I hate something I usually take a second to stop myself and question why it is I hate something. You, the community, either hate everything or love everything, and somehow there is no room for any objective judgement. Granted, this does not apply to everyone, there are some of you out there that I know do not deserve to be called children, but I am just saying that when you guys/girls lose your shit, there is sure to be ten pages of comments of you guys/girls losing your shit with little to no objectivity. What do I mean by this?
The damning thing says sentinel 2 on its leg. It could just be an early version of the final product. I saw a couple commenters point this out, and I shit you not, I did not have to scroll too far down to find another comment in reply that said, "they are ripping off Iron Man now!"
Really?
Use your [frick]in brain, do you think there is only one version of the iPhone, hell no, there are like five other variants, this is how technology progresses.
Secondly, you haven't seen the damn thing fight yet. Yeah, I get it, you don't like the design of the thing, but you can't judge it yet based on the design alone. This is just a classic case of Joker syndrome waiting to happen I can already tell. The community is going to bitch, and then when you see the movie you are going to be swept off your feet or some shit. You haven't even stopped to consider all the possibilities. It could move and act like a [frick]ing ninja, utilizing speed and agility over the hulking slowness that it is usually known for. Wouldn't that be awesome? It would be doing backflips and kung fu shit while the x-men and/or brotherhood can't keep up.
Snyder and Warner Brothers
I admit that I am very nervous about what follows, but who isn't. Every time something shit comes out no one ever thinks to blame the director, and instead they just blame it all on the studio. Sometimes this is justified and sometimes it isn't, but who knows really. No one ever thinks to asks the question: what if the good parts of the movie were the studios idea? This is just plain ignorance people. To add to that, the studios are only going to make what they think will sell, and the studios know that fanboys out there will not tolerate any shit (batman and robin, superman 4, superman returns: case in point). What if the studio is fighting for you, not against you? What if the studio is the one saying, "guy, Superman has to beat batman, there is no possible way a human, no matter how intellectual, could beat a guy with [frick]ing laser vision."
Secondly, weren't you all hating Snyder to begin with? Shouldn't you like that the studio is stepping in? No, because nothing good has ever come from the studio stepping in. Reality check people, it was the studio who told Chris Nolan that the joker had to be in the sequel, and we had to get the bat pod. Both of them Nolan made the best out of. What about something that isn't Nolan? How about, every Marvel studios film ever to come out? Yes, in reality, those movies are all heavily controlled by the studio. While I don't think that Marvel puts out the best movies in the world, they certainly do make films that people like.
Thirdly, weren't you all hating Snyder to begin with? He was the man who made Sucker Punch, and suddenly you think that he is the only man capable of directing the followup to MoS. Hell no! That is like saying Micheal Bay suddenly has the directorial vision to direct 2001: a space odyssey.
In the end though, these are only my thoughts. Post if you think they are worth shit, or if you like them below. I like all forms of feedback so don't shy away.
