Yeah, with BVS there was a lot taken out but the theatrical cut of the film still reflected how the movie was presented in the trailers. With Justice League it really feels like the trailers were for a different movie.
Two other things I felt missing from this movie that were a big piece in both mos and bvs were the media and the military. The justice league seemed to be working in isolation outside of an actual world that exists where they have an impact
That’s a really good point. MoS and BVS both make the impact these superhuman characters have on the world and how they interact with actual social/political power structures a central part of the story. Wonder Woman and Suicide Squad did, too. Justice League doesn’t seem to take that into consideration at all.
I think my favorite thing about Henry Cavill’s Superman is that he isn’t this brash, talkative, overly confident person. It’s cool to see that you can be heroic without those qualities, that it isn’t necessary in order to be good. I like that he always tries to do the right thing, regardless of what people think of him. I believe that in this modern world that’s important. Everyone has an opinion on everything and they can break down your dreams and it can seem easy to give up, but, Superman doesn’t give up on doing the right thing, regardless of how the world feels. That gives me hope that I can do the same thing too. I might be reaching with this feeling but if I’m reaching for anything it’s the stars, hopeful that I can be quiet but still great, just like Superman.
Great words! I relate to this so much. I don’t know how can someone say that he’s “not like Superman should be” or something like this. Speaking for myself, he truly gives me hope (I’m a very quiet and non-confident person). I think he’s the first superhero to actually give me hope on the superhero movies these days.
Being humble and kind is Superman at his base, the problem with Henry Cavill’s Superman is he doesn’t do much else
He literally saves the world…twice. He saves people all the time. Also, he saves THE WORLD!
omg, the Snyder’s haters are pissing me off so much they actually managed to ruin post WW glow.
all the “WW SAVED THE DCEU” bullshit aside, there’s has been a lot of people lately who claim that the reshoots requested by JW are caused by Wonder Woman’s newfound popularity and he’s now trying to give her a bigger role in JL because Zach underused her in his original script.
Like, people, from the moment she appeared in BvS, Diana has been in the spotlight. She outsmarted Bruce Wayne, she saved his life, she gave Clark the opportunity to kill Doosmday. At the end of the movie, Bruce is the one who’s asking for her help because he knows he needs her. The few promo pictures of JL that were released showed her in the front. She also has a pretty big presence in the JL trailer. So let’s stop pretending that the only reason they’re having reshoots is because they just now “realized” how important WW is thanks to her solo movie success.
I’ll die a happy man if I don’t have to see one more fucking passive aggressive dig at the DCEU wrapped up in praise for Wonder Woman written by motherfuckers who aren’t half as fucking clever as They think They are.
i’ve been having this constant dream for months about superman saying something that surprisingly nobody agrees with so batman and green lantern bond over their mutual distaste on the matter nodding together across the room, and i couldn’t figure where i knew this moment from because i was certain it was from a comic, i was losing my mind trying to find which justice league issue it was, and today i found out it was just this gif
on the subject of jewish superheroes, batman was made jewish by accident, and DC has no fucking clue they did it
I missed this, explain! (Sorry don’t have a great comics background.)
you’re fine! comics are wild and confusing, i understand completely
the kanes are jewish! kate kane is jewish, and canonically bruce’s maternal first cousin, effectively making martha wayne jewish. by halachic standards, that would make bruce jewish.
So Bruce had a Bat Mitzvah ceremony then?
im really fucking mad that DC accidentally made this pun possible, and that i was also not the first to make it
Before she learns about his secret identity, Lois Lane
thinks Clark Kent is a goddamn mess
She goes to his place to work on a joint article and it
takes her like half an hour to find out that Clark lives in an absolutely
nonfunctional house
She has to change a lightbulb but there are no stools, no
sufficiently high chairs, no way of reaching the ceiling unless you find a way
to climb the walls. “How the hell do you change your bulbs?” she asks. Clark
mutters something about misplacing the footstool and helps her drag the table
from the kitchen to the living room.
Lois watches Clark make lasagna and has to physically
restrain him from pulling the tray out of the oven with his bare hands. “Are
you out of your goddamn MIND?” she yells, scrambling to pull him away on time. “What
are you DOING? WHERE ARE THE OVEN MITTS?” and Clark is just like “Right…..oven
mitts…….. I think I lost them with the uh. footstool” both he and Lois pause
for a moment to engage in a riveting game of Mentally Punch Clark
Lois runs into the bathroom to put on a disguise and yells
out, “Where do you keep your razor?” There’s a gust of wind and Clark comes
back with slightly windswept hair. “I got it!” he says with unwarranted
triumph. “It’s right here. The razor I use.” Lois looks at it and it is CLEARLY
recently purchased and never used and she’s just like. I don’t even care
anymore
For weeks she just assumes Clark is missing some crucial
element in his home and starts stacking her own things all over the place. Lois thinking Clark has no clue how to take care of himself while Clark is Eternally Tormented and has to find ways to keep his identity a secret while living in close quarters, and the slow burn mutual pining roommates AU of my dreams begins
Oh my god this is amazingly awesome! Yes please lol
Lol! Omg, yes!!
I literally can’t stop laughing at the lasagna scene, oh my god! LOL
@kookygeekpalace this seems like something that’d be in your fic
“How has this ridiculous human disaster not died yet”
Reminds me of some early scenes in the comic “Man of Steel” where Lois notes that the weights that Clark leaves lying around (to explain his being in good shape), are actually no heavier than the ones SHE uses herself.
Also the scene in Lois and Clark where Lois visits Clark’s apartment for the first time and discovers his larder is basically made up of everything he likes the taste of, since his body processes ANY food efficiently, so he has cupboards stuffed with sugar-coated marshmallow breakfast cereal and candy bars. As she notes on accidentally seeing him barely dressed; “So, explain something to me. You…You eat like an eight-year-old, and
you look like Mr. Hardbody. What’s your secret, and can I have it?
Don’t hate-read. You know what I’m talking about. Are there blogs or people who automatically make you clench your jaw and roll your eyes? Or always trigger a reaction of “Oh dear angels and spirits, not them/this AGAIN?” Stop reading their stuff. Don’t seek it out, no matter how much ranty entertainment you feel it may be.
Hate-reading is a drain of your time and energy.
(Note: I am posting this as a REMINDER TO MYSELF, because I fall into that trap, too.)
I had a friend who said that every time they started hate-reading something, they would close the window and go write a page of whatever they were working on, which I have found is a brilliant strategy. It’s good distraction, and when you’re done you get to feel proud of yourself for having made something instead of dragging yourself over barbed wire.
