Wonder Woman 1984: Discussion, Set Leaks & Spoilers #WW84

Avengers #200 couldn't have happened in real life but that didn't stop people from rightfully calling it rape even in the 80s.

*reads the reviews*
Good enough for me. If the Arab guys say it's racist, it's racist.

A video in which Snyder praises Patty Jenkins and asks a question about the lasso and Jenkins responds.

Seriously though, why does Marvel get to have all the good movies?

DC’s shared universe of movies has like 2 decent films (though none are stellar) surrounded by a sea of rubbish.

Two words: Kevin Feige.

They overcorrected, they gave me everything I wanted from the first film but didn't get, however the drastic change in the grit to glitter ratio was probably too much for some people.

They don't.

Not having a perfect track record is not the same as having only two good films.

Aquaman is my favorite DCEU film, 84 is second and I'm one of the very few who liked Suicide Squad, so I know nothing about what regular people think. (Yeah <--- that one is going to come back to bite me.)

They don't.

But it’s true though.

Man of Steel: way too long and mediocre at best.
Batman vs. Superman: way too long and terrible.
Suicide Squad: one of the worst comic book films ever made.
Wonder Woman: really good.
Justice League: just an absolute abomination of a film.
Aquaman: mediocre.
Shazam!: great film, better than Wonder Woman.
Birds of Prey: a few hiccups but overall enjoyable.
Wonder Woman 1984: extreme letdown. Better than BvS, worse than Man of Steel.


EDIT. And have you ever seen a Marvel film? They’re better. Not all of them but the majority are good to great. And I’m not even a Marvel fan. Their characters are bland and the stories are too familiar. But even that is better than what DC is doing.

Aquaman and Man of Steel being mediocre are your opinions. Plenty liked those movies. The only movies generally counted as bad on this list as BvS and Suicide Squad. Saying the DCEU only has two good movies is highly inaccurate.

Marvel is better at action and the distillation of their product for all audiences. That's it.

Yea because Aquaman and Man of Steel are paragons of critical acclaim.

So much heart to those films.

Of course it’s an opinion, but it’s also a consensus that those were average at best.

Marvel’s direction, production, and yes, writing are all superior to anything in DC’s shared universe thus far, with the exceptions of the first WW, Shazam, and possibly Birds of Prey.

Dude that's just personal opinion, it's not written in stone.

The RT and metacritics scores tell a different story. Audiences liked those movies just fine but if you want to pretend your opinion is the majority be my guest.
