Thanos uses the space stone to "warp"/wormhole the moon pieces into the atmosphere, but yeah overall... all the stuff with the Infinity Gauntlet is... pretty stupid once you think about it for 5 seconds, yet it's never addressed by the heroes in the movie. My first go to as one of the many geniuses fighting Thanos would be, "So what about when a population re-gains its former size in 10-30 years? If you kill all life, then plants are gone and the food resource ratio remains the same. Couldn't you use the gauntlet to just double the resources? Or send out a universal warning? Or change people's minds to be eco-friendly?"

Yup it’s a Grace Randolph rumor.

If you like your edgelords (heroes) baked with with an extra 2hr helping of emo, then this is definitely the movie made for you. If looking at the 4hr Snyder fest gives you indigestion or and upset stomach, please avoid at all costs.

Runaway

But is than actually a good thing? Not taking any risk, just using the same formula over an over again. Don't get me wrong I like me some vanilla, but the DCEU tries different flavors, you might get salted-caramel or smurf-barf-bubblegum ice cream, but at least they are trying different recepies.

wearetheborg

Yeah, that was silly.

Dr. DVD

She's great at starting rumors and then doing the whole backpedal and "it's all about interpretation" argument when proven wrong. She's also notorious for being kind to her fans until someone disagrees with her after which she blocks them. I read today that WB has no real interest in continuing the Snyderverse, and in all honesty, I think that's for the best. MOS, BvS, and his cut of Justice League form a pretty cohesive trilogy and the final part does a good job of being a love letter to DC fans and establishing a working universe.

E Unit

Maybe, but they keep using the same failed ones and keep running with them. Although Shazam! was a different one that worked. Drawback was that it’s the closest one to an MCU movie. I think the “vanilla” concept the MCU keeps using to great success isn’t actually that in that it has its share of grim and darkness as well. They just balance it really well.

Why So Blu?

And my whole thing is if WBwasn't so quick on the draw and supposedly under the gun to release shit, had taken their time with the properties like Marvel did, we'd have an awesome universe that would have led to a more organic JL (2 and 3). WB wanted that shit 3 films in. While MCU had how many films under their belt by the time Avenger assembled? We needed Man of Steel 2, Batfleck solo movie, WW, Aquaman, Flash, Cyborg, etc., before JL. It took 10 years to get to Endgame. That's my biggest gripe.

E Unit

I totally agree WB heads are mostly responsible for not giving the DCU any chance. Feige has pretty much carte blanche since the beginning of the MCU. Don’t mess with what’s working. WB thought they were that good. In reality, they are the complete opposite of that.

Why So Blu?

DCEU had/has no Kevin Feige to lead the way. Geoff Johns was supposed to be the one and he was about as useless as tits on a bull.

WB and DC going forward

Variety: WarnerMedia’s Ann Sarnoff on ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ and DC’s Future.https://variety.com/2021/film/news/z...ia-1234935580/

Why So Blu?

I read that and it does not sound optimistic to me at all. Lots of coded language.

wearetheborg

From the above: I thought horns were like nails, dead tissue?
The killing of the aliens did not bother me, I would have been bothered had they not engaged in the killing

I liked the movie, and here are my hates:
- Superman losing his mind over a chick. If he had to lose his mind and become evil, it should be over his mom, not a hoe.
- Hand to hand combat. They have devices that can change worlds. But the baddies still need to fight with fists and arrows?
- Similarly later in the movie, and this is going to be a problem going forward in all superhero movies: the need to be present physically to fight. How about some drones? Batman pummeling is obsolete. Bruce Wayne has 6 satellites, a massive flying plane. He cannot built 1000 drones?

I liked the dark tone. No Marvel rainbows please.

Dr. DVD

Sounds to me like she was really saying: "We had no interest whatsoever in letting Snyder realize his vision, but since we had a pandemic and needed material for this streaming service, we let him do it. Now that it's over and served its purpose for us, we hope he and the fans fuck off and let us reboot this the way we want."

wearetheborg

Oh right, about the Steppenwolf thing

Flash: still, broken bones, knocked out teeth, and stuff.

Dr. DVD

The individual you are addressing has obviously never read any of "The New 52" series of DC comics. The Snyderverse is very close to them in style.

GoldenJCJ

Sounds like some pretty exciting movies on the horizon, the superhero gang watching drones on monitors while sitting on their asses in the Hall of Justice. No need for costumes at that point either. They can all just come to work in their sweat pants.

There are definitely some cringe moments in Marvel films. Sometimes the humor can get a little cutesy for my taste, but the overall product tends to be more enjoyable to me, which makes me more forgiving of some of the awkward moments. The Snyder films often bore me even though he throws so much shit on the screen. When you're boring me, filling the screen with a lot of busy digital effects AND often doing those things in slow motion, it gives me a lot of time to think about things that are bothering me in the movie.

Some people complain about how dark the DC films are. I don't mind that. What I mind is how artificial they usually feel. They all seem to revert to this video game cut scene feel to them, and Snyder is the worst offender at that. I'm aware Marvel uses plenty of digital, but the worlds feel much more lived in to me. It makes it easier to buy into other stuff or be more forgiving.

Bottom line: if you keep people entertained, they aren't as likely to worry about the little things.

wearetheborg

Pretty much.
It's happening in military warfare in the real world.

Hokeyboy

It didn't come from nowhere. Cyborg rigged it so she won the "Gotham Bank Jackpot" prize. This was specifically shown in the film with a big CONGRATULATIONS! message. Hell, someone had to win it.

So, Fisher is not under an NDA. Why does he continue to be so cryptic?

Let's not have another big Martha moment in a Snyder DC film. And don't knock arrows. In the beginning of the movie, that's all you needed to take down a big space ship.

It also bothered me when Flash was shot. It looked like a minor flesh wound, but he needed to be carried away and couldn't walk on his own.

Why So Blu?

Ok, the amazons had arrows but were killing para demons who are organic. Then the Goddess Artemis shoots down a ship, but she doesn't just have regular arrows. She's a God. She has powers and so does her bow and arrows. It's clearly depicted.

clckworang

I'm aware. I still thought it looked silly and made me wonder why they weren't just shooting all those ships down from the start. Probably would have saved some ground effort.

Why So Blu?

Because they got flooded with with bad guys. Shit, why was that Green lantern so weak? He got taken out by Uxas who wasn't even Darkseid so easily. Now you see how it took Ares, a God, to bring someone like Uxas down. Damn it, more minutiae.

clckworang

"Hey, Artemis, why don't you grab your magical quiver and shoot down those ships before we get overwhelmed by the forces coming from them."

That was my whole point. If they had the ability to take down those ships so easily, there was no reason for them to get flooded with bad guys. Dedicate magical arrows to ships and the rest of your forces to enemies on the ground.
