I'd take BVS's nonsensical plot over this colorless mundane shit anyday

I'd take BVS's nonsensical plot over this colorless mundane shit anyday.

Jesus fucking Christ, how can you even compare the two? Batman V Superman looks like an actual film whereas Marvel's crap looks like a TV show.

Not even a DC fanboy, I just can tell the difference between a visual masterpiece with many flaws and a bland soulless piece of consumeristic garbage made solely for selling merch to kids.

And you wanna know the real joke? Both have the same fucking budget.

>it looks like a TV show

I'll never understand this criticism but it keeps being used as if it's somehow supposed to be this glaring misstep.

Tell me what you actually mean by this.

Civil War and BVS were both fucking terrible, the worst films of their respect brands... why are faggots still talking about them?

I'd say Civil War is actually a really solid allegory on the divisiveness in the U.S. right now.

It's basically a movie about gun control.

If only Snyder wasn't obsessed with CGI.Motherfucker loves CGI more than his wife.

It was supposed to be, until the turned it into a love story between two 90 years old dudes with a guy in a papermache armor as the love rival.

>I'd take BVS's nonsensical plot over this colorless mundane shit anyday.
of course you would

it's been six months guy get over it.

I really do.
I liked The Winter Soldier, Ant-Man, GotG and the first Iron Man film, at least they were entertaining and had redeeming qualities.

That disappointed me, too. They really could have gone places with that, the built-in Guantanamo analogy, too.

Yeah but BvS was full of actions without immediate explanations. How did Lex know Superman's identity huh? There should have been a scene where one of Lex's goons is hiding in the bushes when Clark talks to Martha and at the end he should radio Lex and tell him they have a confirmation
Also, why was the fight only like short? In a film called Batman V Superman, the entire film should be one long fight scene

And what was with Superman dying? Superman can't die! And they're gonna bring him back in the next film so it's completely pointless. What's the point in having superheroes if they're just gonna die. And I know, he's supposed to Jesus, real subtle Snyder, but they could'e done it in a less blatant way. If that's all the depth the film had, no wonder it failed. Honestly, I found myself nearly falling asleep halfway through cause everything was so depressing and boring

Compare that to Civil War where you have these heroes fighting but who genuinely don't want to. And they're real heroes. It's ambiguous because neither of them are the clear morally just fighters. When Tony kept fighting Cap and Bucky at the same time, I was nearly in tears!
And the film never gets boring because everything's clearly explained and they still manage to have some light-hearted jokes so we don't get too depressed. We're hear to have fun afterall!

I mean I'm team Cap because of my strong libertarian background, but team Tony makes loads of sense too. And I say this as someone who always hated the self-righteousness of Captain America.
In Batman v Superman, they were both so angry. I just wanted them both to get some counselling

Know what I mean?

Robert Downey Jnr's performance in Civil War urinates from the very heights of Olympus on both Henry "Forty Two lines" and Batfleck in BvS.

Fuck no, Batfleck was the shit.
Guy was born to play Batman.

Not going to tackle all your points, because I'm mobile right now and it's a pain in the ass, but Lex knew who Superman was before the plot even started. They also had devised some method of tracking him that not even the CIA had access to.

Fucking A, he was. My favorite portrayal yet.

I would have loved this movie i that happened

>Marvel's crap looks like a TV show.

I dont buy this at all. I wil agree that the first avngers movie looked like a tv show. But everything after that felt like a normal movie would. Thats why I personally found age of ultron a bit jarring. I was like holy shit. Whedon got his shit together it actually looks like a movie this time around. The way it was shot and everything.

nice try m8

You're an idiot.

Haven't seen civil war yet, but I watched BVS last night. What was everyones problem with BVS again? I thought it was pretty fucking good. Maybe a little slow at times, but overall I enjoyed the flick.

Basically the critics and marvel fanboys were complaining about it not being like a marvel movie

It was too dramatic and dark and the characters didn't vocally and clearly introduce each new scene

>muh too dark and gritty
>supes never smiles at the camera
>batman is murderman
>lex luthor? more like the joker xD
>uhh too long
>hurr my redditbros didn't like it, better jump on the bandwagon

That's not an inaccurate assessment. Couple that with the "professional critics" pushing blatantly obvious political agendas, and you've pretty much covered it.

i can't tell if this is satirical

Hellboy > BvS > Civil War

Needed moar L__A__G__O__S.

Its a good movie, I unironically prefer it to Civil War.
Only problem I had was that WB required so much to be crammed in to just one movie that the final act seemed rushed to fuck.

Should have been 2 movies and kept the Doomsday + Justice league setup for the 2nd movie.
Snyders original cut was 4 hours long

I'm with you. I really liked Hellboy, too.

god that was so annoying

It had superheroes but they were grounded in reality and while they had quips the movie took itself seriously

>tfw Ron Pearlman wants to finish the trilogy but Del Toro is too busy

>id take meaningless garbage that tries to masquerade as something greater than a generic hollywood blockbuster
there is literally no better definition for pretentious

especially for a fucking capeshit movie

>It was too dramatic and dark

I wish. Civil War despite being good it feels rushed imo. It doesnt feel like it had the time and care winter soldier did. Feels less crafted. The turn around time for these movies is ridiculous. Winter soldier came out April 2014. 26 months later Civil War was out in May 2016. Thats not a lot of time.

>muh plot
>muh fanboy manchild things
I don't watch comics or whatever, but Zack Snyder is an objectively gifted director, this was a good film.

> Zack Snyder is an objectively gifted director
Literally can't stop laughing right now

Literally the only questionable thing Snyder does is occasional use of snap zoom, and even that's really more an issue of the DP.

>Zack Snyder is an objectively gifted director
He's so dense

> Literally the only questionable thing
I dunno if you are meme-ing or not, but thanks.
I've been feeling genuinely depressed for the last few days and your posts made me laugh.

>consumeristic

Snyder is an awful director. The performances under his direction are always bland and dour, he overuses melodramatic framings and religious imagery to pass the movie off as being "deep", and his grandiose action scenes are messes of CGI with no sense of urgency.

But he can occasionally frame pretty shots and direct good hand-to-hand fighting.

Pleb detected

Fuck off pleb

People like you dont give Zack enough credit
Yes he likes to use imagery/symbolism but its often subtle and serves a purpose in further exploring the characters

Omg, please let this happen.

How can Marvel even compete?

No, you're an idiot.

All I can remember from Civil War is a lackluster villain, non existent score and orange slices.

Why did it get raved about so much? I thought it was ok but it was far from great

>have a bow as your weapon
>rush into close combat like a fucking tool

I also liked how they had to edit Scarlet Witch propelling herself in the air for no damn reason because Elizabeth Olsen couldn't keep the pace with the rest of the team while filming.

Honestly the fight between Superman and Batman was brutal as fuck and shot really well. They both had a ton of weight and get slam or punch felt strong as fuck.

Cred Forums is meme kino

>Not even a DC fanboy

You guys get more pathetic by the day.

...

Batfleck was one of the better performances ever in capeshit.

>Not even a DC fanboy, I just can tell the difference between a visual masterpiece with many flaws and a bland soulless piece of consumeristic garbage made solely for selling merch to kids
I audibly laugh at posts like these.

>we need to introduce Spider-Man because we're gonna make a movie with him in it later
>well how about we devote a scene to him being recruited, feature him in a fight, and give audiences an idea of his personality and a hint of what his movie might be about

>we need to set up these four characters for a Justice League movie
>okay, we'll give Wonder Woman like three minutes of screentime, two of which will be spent watching youtube clips of the other characters we need to establish

Maybe you should watch the Hollis Mason death scene from the director's cut of Watchmen then kill yourself for being an unbearable fuckin pleb.

>chocolate strawberry
wtf, it's not even a choice at this point.
caramel crunch all the way

I unironically prefer the DC approach.

Eisenberg ruined the movie for me. Terrible casting choice.

Why didn't they pick the guy from Breaking Bad again? That would have been perfect casting.

The best thing DC could have done was have every character already established and just show up as if this world is already lived in.

It means that BvS has all its scene shot at night or in the dark, so it's adult. But the Civil War fight scene was shot in daytime, so it's a kiddy cartoon.

I like that we don't get all the answers just spoon fed to us chronologically, instead leaving us with mysteries we'll get the answers to as the story progresses. That's one of my biggest criticisms of the MCU - all the plots are just a little too self-contained with the overarching story a little too obviously shoehorned in or tacked on post-credits.

It works on occasion. The comics do it too, from time to time, but not every "episode."

The DC approach feels a bit more immersive and organic, less formulaic.

>not even a DC fanboy

pardon me while I laugh.

Winter Soldier = GotG > Iron Man > Captain America > Avengers > Iron Man 2 > Thor 2 > Thor

Oh, do tell me, what's the deep subtext behind that shot?

Walt Jr? He'd play a horrible Let Luthor.

Why did the ranged heroes charge into the melee?

>I can just tell

Obviously not, there's a difference between depth of field and just doing a lot of slow-mo effects.

Not only was CW the better story, it was the better-made film.

And the Russos aren't even the best directors in the MCU.

Do you think Snyder chose not to directly adapt The Dark Knight Returns because he knows he couldn't do it justice or because he thinks the story his team came up with is better?

Because WB told him that he had to introduce the Justice League and because a direct adaptation wouldn't have fit with the theme of subverting audiences' expectations

But nice shitpost

TDKR, outside of the stellar prologue, was uniformly terrible.

TDKR would have never fit within the established continuity. It takes place in an unremittingly dark and dystopian future where the heroes have either abandoned humanity, retired, or in the case of Superman, sold out to the state.

Furthermore, it even ends with only the barest hint of hope for the future, whereas the DCEU team has already gone on record stating that the intention was always to proceed from a darker tone more toward the light.

One could even argue that by starting in a deconstructed Nolan-sequel setting and moving toward a lighter, more comic-booky tone, they're commenting on the pitfalls of deconstructionism and how it's the death of the comic book hero as myth.

It means that Civil War is shot from awkward stationary angles alternating with rapid cuts, with horrible shot composition - expected from a common-o-garden TV show due to low budget and inexperienced directors, not from a 300 mil Hollywood movie

Please let this be bait.

You are blind?! Cleary is a fish in the wall, that means Superbald are into Aquaman!

Plus christ and illuminatis, all are here!

Did anyone else get Power Ranger vibes from the beginning of Civil War? I liked the rest of the movie fine but that part just seemed way too jumpy and flippy, complete with costumed and masked bad guys mugging at the camera.

I'd agree with this, and Civil War's plot isn't really any better than BvS.

It's not about being adult, it's that it looks cooler. Which is important. Most of Civil War is set in conference rooms, stylish apartments, and an airport, the most boring, generic looking spaces that exist.
