I'd agree there's a case to be made that it's overrated, but that case would be rich coming from any big MCU fans.

The ETC comic book movie fandom lacks serious self awareness. Don't expect anything really. Just ignore and move on. the good thing is its usually the same gang of people who make the same topics. They also frequent the box office topics so they can kiss their own asses.
The saddest part is it wasn't always like this. Back on Gaf, I remember it started out as gentle ribbing but everyone being genuinely excited for all these movies. Then, I think around the year between the first Avengers and Man of Steel, it started to get really ugly. Now we're here where it's honestly impossible to have a decent conversation about these films outside of the dedicated Hangout threads.
The BvS review thread was just pure toxicity. Worst of all, it was encouraged by the moderators.
Any chance of decent discussion of DCEU movies on this site died with that one thread, imho.
It's to the extent certain posters (I could even name drop a few) try and force another BvS level meltdown, most recently seen with Aquaman.
Shit SUCKS.
Its always been odd to me that comic book films arent moderated the same way consoles are. Because at its core the same thing.
I just can't imagine people would freely be allowed to attack a creator over their work with such personal venom on gaming side that they are on that side.
And people use the mods as a weapon by goading people by being as passive aggressive as they can be so that they get a response that they can slam the report button with. All because they disagree with them over comic book films.
Most of the people that have avenger under their username are easy ignores really. They always fill up those topics.
I remember the night Wonder Woman's embargo was lifting. There were people in the review thread waiting with baited breath for a low RT rating. Literally salivating at the thought of another BvS and Suicide Squad. Mind you, this was after early screenings for general audiences where many posters - myself included - were raving about how good the movie was.
Then that 97% hit on RT and refused to go down. A lot of those folks flat out left the thread. Others stayed and tried to start conspiracies about people taking it easy on the film because it was the first major female superhero flick or some other shit. Of course, there were also those who were just excited for the movie.
Those first two groups though? They populate every superhero movie thread and they are exhausting. It's not even a DCEU thing either. They make MCU threads a chore to read as well. Hell, I prefer talking about MCU movies in here over those threads. lol
🙁
It's weird that people keep desperately trying to replicate the BvS thread.
Holy shit, I've never even noticed the "Avenger" thing under usernames. How did people get those? Was that part of the Thanos bet?
It was an algorithm doing a snap. Placing users randomly in 'Fallen' or in 'Avenger' brackets. They did a live stream of it too.
lol. You're not one of them dude.
They usually fill up the etc comic book topics and box office topics.
Pretty much. Those threads fill up my Ignore list quite a bit lol, so that's a plus for me.
Just... feels like no one knows this movie is coming. I would think they'd do a promo spree with Melissa, Tiffany and Elisabeth being everywhere. I've only seen Melissa on Jimmy Kimmel and that's it. The box office predictions have it at 11 million debut but I'm hoping it will succeed those numbers.
I mean. It's not a movie to set the boxoffice on fire. I imagine it will be well reviewed, but have at best decent numbers.
No Catwoman in The Batman, she will just get in the way, WonderBat needs to come to the big screen, then they can revive JL Unlimited at the same time
I'm hoping I can catch the kitchen In theatres. But i still need to see Hobbs and Shaw and I will be seeing scary stories to tell in the dark. And it really depends on what plays near me and for how long.
I don't recommend H&S. Was really looking forward to it and...it's just so stupid lol. Just sayin
It's not "some reason" it's MCU fanboys who get all mad because DC managed to put out a good movie Post-Nolan lol. Really makes them seethe.
Hot take: DCAU WW was fucking awful. Dini and Timm didn't get her at all and it really showed. I found their romance incredibly cringey most of the time, and the DCEU wasn't much better. Frankly I'm not a huge fan of most DCAU interpretations of the characters outside of the Batverse and street level heroes like Green Arrow and Question.
WonderBat is one of the worst pairings in the DCAU. Second only to BruceBabs.
