Wait a sec....90 pages about Ass Creed's parity? What?

This is serious shit! You with them or not 

[Am_I_Anonymous]

yeah i am just now checking this long ass thread and someone is talking about plato's cave and there are also various images and boycott posts, this ish is even funnier to look at when you get back and only have a vague idea what's going on, lol gamerz

Greetings!

Now go fuck yourself.

[Rahxephon91]

lol Assassins Creed is such a shitty series.

[StealthFan]

mcu fanthings are literally worse than hitler in ebola form jesus christ goddamn.

I can even understand why cape comic fanboys are the way they are, there is some awesome stuff in the comics medium. But the MCU? It's literally nothing but formulaic, mediocre crap at best. It's such a fucking weird thing to stan. Why the fuck would you stan mediocrity?

Because their childish hobby is validated by popular movies.

[Phoenix Dark]

because they get to sit in the theater and say "guffaw, that's a reference to Feggy Fack #69! Oh boy!" while thinking the rest of the audience is impressed.

[benjipwns]

I actually really like it too.

A tragic hero who's only a hero because he's trying to stave off eternal damnation he knows exists and awaits him because god is a lawful neutral asshole.

Even Shia isn't that bad in it.

Shia's good, it's a good role for him. His qualities work with the character.

I think the same thing about Keanu. I know it's trite to talk about his wooden emotionless acting, but with Constaintine (sorta like in A Scanner Darkly) it works because the dude is condemned and like doesn't give a shit about things. Crazy demon shit happening all over the place and he's all like "seen it before, can I get back to dying yet?" Everyone in the movie is talking about this grand evil plan and dark things coming and blah blah blah but he totally doesn't care other than it's his job.

That to me, at least, sounds like a completely reasonable interpretation of the character. They just took out the sardonic humor. (Though it's still lurking underneath in a few scenes.)

yeah i mean, i enjoy some of the mcu offerings, but they are pretty lackluster in terms of antagonists with interesting motivations. man of steel wasn't perfect but at least zod had some meat to him.

If there's one thing I've learned since becoming single again it's that normies fucking love the MCU for some godawful reason.

[nudemacusers]

oh and the thor movies are tier I don't know how you could possibly stan for them at all. especially the wack tarzan/jane romance shit 

[Yulwei]

Trekkies and SW nerds are on some next level shit 

[parallax]

Nothing wrong with MCU flicks. But the fandom is annoying as hell. Mostly cause it's Marvel comic stans feeling legitimized for all their wizardom over the years. Same for DC movie stans who love the Nolan Batmans TOO much(despite being a stan myself). Basically, what Stealthfan said.

They always make me laugh when they show up in movie discussions and still all they can talk about is comic books. Like all nerds, they tend to have one track minds. They still got nothing on king spergs(Trekkies, Star Wars nerds, Disneyfegs, etc.)

it would mean more if they knew the comics of the movies that they stan so hard. im not in any way saying that you have to be a comic reader to enjoy the movies, but when you go balls to the wall on a comic movie like your some sort of authority on the source, but admit to not knowing or caring about its source, you end up looking incredibly stupid.

Do you know what the sad part is, Odo? I'm a very good tailor.

[nudemacusers]

eh, loki's outsized character is the only remotely interesting part of the thor movies. i mean yeah it's dripping with ridiculousness but at least he goes for it. he stands out.

otherwise:

• thor is boring and has zero presence.
• everything asgard is boring
• everything about planet earth is boring
• jane's buddies are corny and lame
• there are literally no cool setpieces (not that this makes a movie good but it at least distracts me from shittiness, see transformers)
• action in these movies is a dude smacking shit and a hammer flying to various locations
• the villains are boring, one-dimensional and have zero charisma/personality or noteworthy visual features*. did anyone give a fuck about the dark elves? lolno

*a recurring problem in mcu movies

[thisismyusername]

Yeah, acting like an authority is stupid in a way. But at the same time, most of these characters are bigger than comics and always will be. I bet you 99% of the people who watched and loved Guardians Of The Galaxy never read and will never care about their comics. So there's no point.

You don't need to bet on that. You, and everyone in the world, knows that.

Honestly no, no you're not.

The amount of people who love this or that superhero without giving a shit about comics at all has eclipsed the comic nerds by billions for a while now, even before the superhero boom. Sure, nobody gave a shit about Iron Man or Thor before the movies. But the amount of people who love Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Hulk, Spider-Man, The X-Men and all the big well known ones before the boom did so way outside the comics.

the casual fan is who they market these to. im not denying that. my issue is with fans belittling others on a movie scale because they dont know as much about the movie as them, while not knowing much themselves despite being a self proclaimed expert on the source.

I admit I've argued with someone on the internet over the Nolan Batman movies who was talking for ages before about how it took Batman in all these new dark directions and made it serious and deep.

And then he just talked about special effects and corny sets when I pointed out that The Joker, Catwoman, The Penguin and Batman all are actually insane by horrible and tragic circumstance in Burton's films rather than various levels of sane terrorist/criminal.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

This was after he dismissed comics as stupid when I asked if he had read actually ever read an arc from a Batman comic since like 1970 or even after Knightfall where it's like ten straight years of Gotham's citizens suffering one massive calamity after another.

The only Marvel movies I've enjoyed are Captain America 2, Guardians, and maybe Iron Man 3. The rest have either been outright shitty or just run of the mill. I mean Marvel deserves praise for making this all connected, but lets not act like most of these comic book movies or tv shows aren't anything but mass market average media. The marvel stuff especially is extremely safe.

As far as comic movies go, honestly I never liked the X-men movies. They never captured what I liked about the X-men. I did like The Wolverine, well until a transformer showed up. Nolan's Batman movies may get a lot of shit thanks to the annoying fans, but they are actual honest to goodness good movies. Not comic book movies, good movies in general. Except maybe Rises gets a little unruly and messy.

Honestly the first two rami Spider-Man movies are pretty awesome with Spider-man 2 being the one comic book movie that I feel honestly feels like a comic book.  Too bad about the 3rd movie.

I'm pretty biased with Superman. I grew up with 1 and 2 and while they haven't aged I still like them. Returns is boring and Man of Steel is stupid, but whatever explosions.

I love the look and feel of the Burton Batman movies at least. The ooze personality and atmosphere and are just so strange. I do feel like they are closest to capturing the more comic booky nature of Batman.

I don't know. I don't get this hoopla over Marvel and how it's created fanboys simply for the movies themselves. They are decent action movies at best, but it's not like they come anywhere close to the comics. If you like the movies I don't know why you would'nt want to read the comics. Most of the movies pull from the comics and then filter them into an easy to sallow pull for the mass market.

[Shadow Mod]

I liked Avengers and Days of Future Past.

That's about it really.

Haven't seen Guardians.

[I'm a Puppy!]

It seems like the "cool kids" all say that Captain America 2 is the best one. I liked it. Sure.
Best one though? Ehhh.....

[Kara]

Fassbender's Magneto.

[Shadow Mod]

X-Men has the problem of focusing on too many characters at once or beating us over the head with Wolverine.

There's no middle ground.

[Yulwei]

UUUUUUUUUUHH..... X-Men isn't part of the MCU 

[Mr. Nobody]

Only Marvel movies I've seen are the Spiderman and Blade trilogies, parts of Hulk, and Avengers

I'm more into the comics

UUUUUUUUUUHH..... X-Men isn't part of the MCU 

I dunno what's what, just talking about comic book movies I enjoyed.

[Yulwei]

Blade 1 and 2

Were both supremely my shit. There are some hilarious stories from the filming of Blade Trinity. At one point Wesley Snipes refused to open his eyes for a scene so they just did his eyes in CGI lol.

Honestly, it's a pretty good movie. I hated the first one and did not want to see the 2nd one. A friend and I sunk into after a showing of the Amazing Spiderman 2(eww) and I was pretty surprised.

It does some decent work with it's actual title character. Has an actual plot beyond "dude wants to kill hero" or "dude wants to do something to a city". Feels like it has actual consequence and effects things.On top of that it's decently plotted and has good action. Can't really ask for more and I've never been much of a Cap fan beyond a few stories I read more because I liked the writer.

[D3RANG3D]

The first two Supermans and the Burton Batmans are legit great movies.

My god I listened to that soundtrack so much. It actually has a lot to do with why I was interested in the guitar in the first place. It was godly.

[Rahxephon91]

The Constantine movie is great fun and visually cool.

It's just not totally the comic.

The Devil was awesome in Constantine.

We can't leave out Tilda Swinton as Gabriel. "You could've shot me, John! You chose a higher path. Look how well you're doing!"

And Djimon Honsou as Papa Midnite. And Gavin Rossdale! It's a literal cavalcade of stars!

[Rahxephon91]

I don't know about great.

Play Destiny while trying to laugh off accepted truths, brehs.

[benjipwns]

Batman Returns is the best.

And the first one is full of classic lines.

[Kara]

[benjipwns]

Batman Forever has some actual good Batman fighting too:


Joker having a great fucking time even as his plan is going to shit and he came prepared with gags:


DEM FEELS AT THE ENDING OF RETURNS:

[Kara]

Edit: fuck Batman Returns. Anyone stanning for it: what is the plot of the movie?

Don't make me do it, GS. I'll regurgitate the plot with creepy accuracy despite seeing it 1.5 times in my life and all of them as a child.

[Rahxephon91]

[StealthFan]

I said Batman 89 and Superman. Niccas posting the sequels

[Shadow Mod]

If you didn't laugh at this you're soulless.

Own Batman and Robin on VHS brehs 

[Rahxephon91]

These are best parts of Forever.

[StealthFan]

Returns is a bloated mess with a great style and macabre tone that Batman should have. It's a bad film.

[benjipwns]

That whole scene is stupid awesome:

[Rahxephon91]

Own Batman and Robin on VHS brehs 

My VHS copy dosen't even work anymore because I watched it too many times!

[Shadow Mod]

I wish I could pretend the Schumacher ones didn't exist but Freeze puns are just too good.

You didn't like Christopher Walken's plan of building a Power Plant that would actually steal Gotham's powers for reasons?
