Comics!

it just makes no financial sense for the studio to just sit there and not make a black widow movie
at one point during principal photography of the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie
someone working on the movie leaked that The Gaurdians movie being made was a "straight-up, flat-out, INSTEAD OF a black widow movie" and Guardians got a sequel-release-date announced a whole freaking week before anyone actually even saw the first movie
 
You mean the DC stuff? Well yeah, that's their only competitor and holy shit are they having trouble getting their DCU together after the Nolan-era Batman films. But Marvel are still desperate to emulate Wonder Woman's success.
 
Disagree, thought it pretty much stunk. I preferred BvS: Dawn of Justice.

I thought Affleck's Batman was fucking awesome, the way he fought enemies tactically, used a voice amplifier to hide his voice rather than growling spastically like Bale did. A shame nothing seems to have panned out for Affleck to do his solo Batman film, I think it would have probably been quite cool.

I still haven't seen Justice League or Aquaman yet though.
 
wonderwoman better than anything else in DC movies
i actually meant in terms of box office
it broke box office records
did better than the other DCU movies
i can't say i liked more or less than the other movies because i didn't actually see wonderwoman
i saw Aquaman it was actually pretty good
 
Oh okay, well yeah that's definitely true and it was even hugely popular among people who usually oppose feminism/SJW stuff. It was mostly a total fan favourite across the board and my issues with the film have nothing to do with political hackery, I think it tackled gender relations and social justice themes very well. Helps that Gal Gadot is an extremely charming, likeable and believably tough actor.

I hear very good things about Aquaman.

i actually thought batman begins was awesome
which prolly sounds weird because i really hated the dark knight and the dark knight returns
oh, god, those 2 movies were horrible
 
You're an idiot, they were great. But that's irrelevant because those aren't DCU films.

I think the best way to sum up Wonder Woman is that it had an a-list cast but a c-list director and it really shows. You should go watch it.
 
they hired christian bale with the expectation that he would be in a justice league movie
you can clearly see it in the way the dawn of justice script was a modified version of superman in a movie with christian bale's batman
but then christopher nolan decided "i don't want my version of batman in a justice league universe"
and then DC just went ahead and just made dawn of justice with a re-booted-batman

i've seen bit's and pieces of wonder woman, will prolly see the whole thing at some point

I found it very entertaining and less "serious" than Justice League and Wonder Woman - especially one scene somewhere in the beginning. Still I'd say that out of these three, I liked Wonder Woman slightly better, whereas Justice League was the weakest of them, yet still OK.

On another note, I don't know if anyone here might be interested in these, but Royal Mail will issue Marvel comic stamps in just a few days:

While not being a fan of Marvel comics, I might still order a set of the regular stamps and miniature sheet - currently "hidden" on page 2. (I wonder who buys those overpriced frames and silver medal covers.)

If Wonder Woman was better than the rest I guess I'll skip them all. Shit movie.

Strange kind of logic. People do happen to have different tastes, so what makes you think that just because I liked a movie you didn't like at all better than two movies you haven't seen yet, you'd dislike these two movies as well?
