Yo, yo, yo, yo! What goes on? I'm glad I'm not just some distant memory here haha!
Oh hey, good for you then! This wasn't really meant to bash the film, just my own opinion about it, so I'm glad that someone has a different view. All in all, I'm just happy that there are people who had a positive experience with it. I'm all for everyone just enjoying.
I get Martian Manhunter hiding in plain sight and all, but he didn't even bother to help with the Zod crisis before? That's stone cold. It feels like he was just shoehorned because there were a lot of fan theories that were claiming that character was Martian Manhunter.
Yeah, I've read about the potential sequels, with Clark's kid being the new Batman eventually. Is that what you were referring to?
Frankly, I didn't like how they all piled it on in one movie. They're playing catch up and it showed. The studio assumed that people are already familiar with their characters, so they didn't really need to introduce everyone again, but really though these are different characters from what we've known in past iterations.
At this point, I don't really care about Darkseid (and most of the characters in the DCEU). We haven't really been given a chance to care about them, or even just know them.
The quick cuts wouldn't have been necessary if they were all given the chance to shine in their own outings. DC had the time in the world to do so, but they became very complacent.
The action sequences are good, but it's just too CGI-heavy for me. I guess it's all about preference. I would rather have a cunning villain that's meh in terms of power level than a powerhouse villain that has very thin motivation.
We're different in terms of our Snyder fandom haha! I liked his style in his earlier films. Dawn of the Dead was probably my favorite entry in that series. 300 blazed a trail and I liked how Watchmen was faithful to the source material (way ahead of its time, in my opinion).
As the years went on, my admiration for him waned. That's not a fault of anyone, I guess my preference just veered away from his style.
Ohoho! I'm writing the TBT to Invincible as I type! Let's discuss about that further then. Let's just say that I'm way more a fan of that haha!
I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, man! This is a fun discussion.
