It's going to take a big effort to surpass Logan as the best superhero movie in my mind.

It's called Spider-Man 2.

I used to have this same opinion my man, it's still nr 2 for me, but after watching Logan and letting it kick around for near a year in my mind, to me it's the gold standard.

Yeah, and Logan is more of a gritty western than anything.

[HardcoreRetro]

Eh, Super was the last superhero movie that actually had something to say.

You ever watch Defendor? Thought that was a lot of fun as well.

I get that it doesnt follow superhero movie conventions, but that it stars Wolverine and Prof X and is a sequel to a line of classic superhero movies puts it in the genre imo.

I have not, but it looks like something I'd like. I've been a big fan of Woody Harrelson ever since his reddit AMA. Thanks.

 Another superhero movie opinion: Darkman is Sam Raimi's best superhero film.

Nah. The upcoming horror film "New Mutants" isn't a superhero movie either.

[Momo]

Sam Raimi hot take - I dont know how I feel about Evil Dead, some days I appreciate the over the top fun of the later movies and TV series, but others I think back to the first one that was played a lot more straight and it erodes my fun as I wonder if he actually wanted to make the sequels less hokey but was kinda pushed that way by external forces.

You really need to watch Birdman

I have and I love it, but

a)I don't consider it to be a superhero movie
b)I don't consider it to be better than Logan

I've never seen someone be so wrong before.

And I was just on Resetera

I respectfully disagree (RE Logan) and maybe this is a good time to define what a 'superhero' movie is as a genre.

I think it's the opposite. He wanted to make a straight horror movie he thought the public would like / would get picked up for distribution, then when he had a success under his belt he was able to break loose and hone more of his hokey style.

Thug 2 is back

Sorry, didn't intend to direct negativity toward the folks still here and contributing to a better future for the site and community. The team and I have put a lot of work in to turn things around and eventually forge a better outcome for this place than the one we had prior to the drama, which we're already starting to see bear fruit, and you guys and gals being on board with all that is what makes it possible and gives it meaning ultimately. I'm optimistic and motivated about running the site, in stark contrast to 2017's misery pit vibes on the board accompanied by some of the most traumatic personal issues I've ever had to confront one after another that year (and I'm not referring to #metoo). I'm okay, though, and NeoGAF's not just turning around but is also headed in a carefully and purposefully constructed direction I've put a lot of care into planning and executing (with the support of our supremely talented sysadmin team and perhaps NeoGAF's first true set of moderators in the proper sense, of whom I'm proud of already for how deftly they're guiding threads).

NeoGAF's traffic has doubled in the last 30 days alone, and an astonishing amount of real, challenging discussion is happening paired with an all-time low number of bans involved. It's wonderful to see it all play out as hoped and far better reflects my intent for this place than where we started to head in recent years.

Just took me to a bleak spot in the moment reading this thread, yes, for the reasons I mentioned. The "grandstanding," apparently.

No, I had not read it at the time back then. Or basically any of these threads beyond the titles. It was too hurtful to read the site at all that day. As silly or fragile as it might paint me as, I had to ask mods and friends and such to summarize or otherwise relay the gist of what was happening and being said at any given time on the site to me during peak head-on-spike mode, since I would start breaking down if I read it directly. I am used to infinite internet trolling and misanthropes in my direction and I normally don't sweat it at all and have fun sparring back and forth if time permits, but I legit care about my community, have put my heart into this place for over half my life already, and couldn't bear to read what was being said by the crowd as they burned it all down in spite and revelry.

But that's in the past, and may have been for the best, since things were so poisonous and miserable here in 2017 that it was taking a serious toll on my health and well-being beyond everyone else going on already. It was taking a serious toll on a lot of my ex-mods, too, some of whom had fallen into proper serious depression solely as a result of their involvement with the site, no doubt many users as well, but a vicious cycle had formed and decided to persist. With NeoGAF so successful and outlasting almost all the other major forums on the 'net and then some, it was like "winning," but hating the outcome and finding myself unsuccessful in all of my efforts to change outcomes anymore, while my life entered a period of serious turmoil...and then #metoo blindsided me and you know the rest. But let's stop there.

Now it's a fresh challenge and opportunity to utilize everything I've learned since the beginning of the whole journey, without pushback from a hostile userbase or a small contingent of duplicitous team members sabotaging our efforts to course correct or any of that. The internal structure is streamlined and not wishy-washy consensus peer group based anymore to any degree, or open to contrary agendas or egos. There's a clear vision being developed and executed, and hopefully you're seeing that play out to your liking and finding more occasions where you're inclined to participate.

Thanks for the support and kind words. Except for Snitch, who apparently thinks malicious porn bomb account suicides attempting to destroy NeoGAF in the name of Resetera are acceptable behavior as per the other thread I just nuked his account in. Virtuous and honorable individual all the way through. ;b

MOD POST EDIT:

A few points before we try this again:

This is not the thread to mention that you don't see color, or don't care about the diversity of fictional characters. Posts of that nature only serve to dismiss the concerns of other posters and will be warned or banned going forward.

Please refrain from derailing the discussion with comparisons to Iron Fist, or anything else outside of the films that Kevin Feige produces.

As with any topic that deals with representation, tempers are likely to be raised. Please try to refrain from personal attacks, and instead use the report feature if you believe that a post is problematic/against our TOS. We have been fairly lenient with some posts prior to this message, but will have to warn/ban personal attacks going forward.

Thanks

Ok moderator, what actual stuff should we steer the convo towards?

Because Bernie Sanders and his deal with W to dump Vermont's nuclear waste in a majority hispanic southern Texas town despite their objections is a billion times better.

Considering Logan was always leaning towards anti-hero, a western influence into a Wolverine movie isn't exactly a departure.

It's pretty shitty how ethics in games journalism is now forever a forbidden topic because even attempting to imply there might be a problem invokes the meme.

I think the old discussions of game sites being a joke and the GG discussion have one important difference: The past topics were about major media company sites like Gamespot and IGN. The recent discussion aimed at BS in the "indie sites" and their licentiousness nature. This highlights the difference between the two: Old big sites weren't filled with self-important posers who saw game writing as a legit srsbsns thing. The indie site kids went off the deep end when questioned and attacked their own audience with fury, while the old standard crew just shrugged and said "fuck it, you're still clicking anyways."

The hits keep coming from Thug 2:

It's kind of disingenuous to suggest that ResetEra reflects poorly through that post. It's honestly just because people were and are upset about what happened.

Which post? The latest porn bomb out of the hundreds and hundreds of account suicides that have persistently attempted to destroy NeoGAF under the rallying cry of ResetEra from day one? Or some other post? Do tell, since I had to bring in professional contractors 24/7 to prevent the sheer number of account suicides and associated attacks from completely destroying NeoGAF in November. Do tell, though.
