That would be so very true... except that it's not.

Solid Snake

That's what I was thinking. I'd like him even more if he was WB's Mexican Feige for DC. I think he could do that job very well. Considering that he's got a massive hard on for producing.

Again... WB needs a Feige. Who the fuck is running the whole DC movie universe?

Never really watched those movies seriously. I may have seen them on TV when I was like 5 or so, but those movies are completely outside of my age group.

Yeah true with audiences captivated by DC movies such as Green Lantern, Cat Woman and Jonah Hex. I know Marvel has its failed movies (this i would attribute to the production companies rather than Marvel), but the majority of its characters have far more interesting dynamics than the those of DC. Case in point this year was Iron Man 3 making substantially more money than the Superman reboot. Arguably DC's number one character of all time getting beat out by a Marvel character that 10 years ago would certainly not have been ranked in the top 5 on their rooster. Characters in the DC universe just seem very old fashioned and out of touch, hence their trying to reboot the universe in the comics. From what i have read even that has failed.

So i have hope that DC can make good movie transitions of their characters, at this stage i am far more interested in seeing where the Marvel universe is headed.

C'mon, Iron Man 3 was working with The Avengers bump, and Man of Steel was a reboot of a reboot/fake sequel Superman Returns, so what did people expect from Man of steel, $400m+ domestically? Get real.

Plus just because crappy comic movies were made based on DC comic book characters doesn't make the characters inherently uninteresting. There's a reason Batman Begins performed better than Batman and Robin.

How is life as a Marveldrone? I've never tried it.

Well, Nolan was producer on MOS, I think they were hoping it'd be him, but that doesn't seem to be working out.

Draven

You must not have read some of the threads around here.

EddieMoney

God forbid he prefer Marvel.

james2025a

I wouldn't know. I have been a comic book fan since i was a child, but since movie studios have been seriously getting into the business of bringing comic book characters to the big screen i have found Marvels output to be generally more interesting. I do actually hope DC starts making great movies, i just always preferred Marvel characters. Thats not to say i dislike DC's.

So whilst you have not tried being a Marveldrone i see you have tried being obnoxious. Hows that working out for you?

Edit: I do see that you seem to have negative opinions on most Marvel movie threads whilst contributing to many dealing with DC's. A man who likes his heroes with their pants on the outside. Bless 'im.

EddieMoney

Just don't tell him you didn't LOVE Man of Steel. I mentioned that I liked, but didn't love, it and he went to town on me. Along with about everyone else in the thread who didn't blow their loads over it.

Brack

Oh I read them, and I knew they were wrong then.

whotony

I hated Man Of Steel.

majorjoe23

Could everyone turn the dickishness up a degree or two?

nando820

I just re-watched Man of Steel on blu-ray yesterday and I completely changed my opinion from loving it to hating it. What a piece of bull

EddieMoney

Sure.

whotony

I loved Man of Steel

Bad characters or simply just craptacularly bad movies? Most definitely the latter. Green Lantern has been a top DC seller for nearly a decade now.

Has nothing to do with the character. It has EVERYTHING to do with the fact that the 2008 Iron Man movie was a massive success due to strong filmmaking and a career-rejuvenating performance by RDJ, and came first in a series of connected Marvel movies. Plus IM3 came out as a pseudo-continuation of the third highest grossing movie of all time. Man of Steel acquitted itself nicely, especially being stigmatized with the backwash aftertaste of "Superman Returns".

A tired refrain commonly reiterated by people who have never read DC Comics regularly (or acolytes slurping on Mark Millar's nutsack). This might have been true in the Silver Age, but not at all since the early 80s.
Except overall sales are up across the board and they have beaten Marvel in Unit and Percentage sales many times since the reboot. Whether or not the books are any good, that's for someone else to decide, as I don't read them (or any comics by Marvel or DC anymore).
Agreed to the former, and NO KIDDING from the latter

The Valeyard

Quit using your facts! It doesn't help his case.

Dragon Tattoo

That was assumed.

Solid Snake

Dragon Tattoo is here. Not sure how high it can get after that.

Dragon Tattoo

Henry.

Jules Winfield

So, you only watch movies made for your own age group? How fucking dull.

EddieMoney

His age group would most likely be 3-10, so there's some exciting sparkly stuff to be seen.

Somebody just got bitch fucked.
