Zack Snyder’s Justice League
Avengers Infinity War-Endgame
... why do we care about the lack of realism in something that has a high fantasy vibe again?
Because there is a nit to be picked?
Frankly, Thanos looked convincing enough.
And what Thanos has, that Darkseid does not, mattered more.
When he first showed up, Thanos carried an air of menace. Both the stinger and in Guardians, he was treated as a bad ass who was not to be messed with even though he did virtually nothing.
In Justice League, Darkseid gets his butt kicked in a flashback story, and flees bleeding and near death, before humanity built the first gun. As first impressions go, it's not a great one.
And when it came to brass tacks, Thanos had depth. I never much cared about Thanos' CGI, because he was engaging as a character.
Nah, I highly respectfully disagree. if Thanos looked better than darkseid, I will say it I don't lie about art of films if we are asked to be objective. to the contrary , I think Thanos was maybe the last straw many people like Scorsese and James Cameron had with comic films.
I am searching youtube videos to even get a clear HD clip of thanos, this is the best I could find
I am sorry but I cannot in good faith say, this looks better than Darkseid, the cinematography makes it pretty clear, why is Endgame so dour and bland with mixed colours? Why did Thanos now have to be cgi purple on top of all of that? yes, that is the comics, he is purple, but the film should have scaled back. Snyder did things better as a film maker because he took the comics and the real world of filming into account. this is not about fan wars, I am sick of it.
I have to mention other films, to prove my point and show I am not biased. this is what makes the discussion more credible, than marvel is bad, DC is good and DC is good and Marvel is bad.And stop trying to claim that other directors would be impressed or not. Unless they say that they're impressed or not with something we don't know what their opinions are
Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings, was already a VFX achievement before any MCU or DCU movie was made, that matters now in looking at this films. I may not know their opinions but I know their films to make an opinion.
JL Cut was a complete growth from Snyder's 300, a film even James Cameron and other have praised in the past.

"I don't lie about art of films. to the contary , "
"cannot in good faith say, this looks better than Darkseid,"
" but the film should have scaled back" Why?
"he took the comics and the real world of filming into account" Once again you make so sense.
"I may not know their opinons but I know their films to make an opinion." So what you really mean is "to make up their opinion" and try to sell that as fact.

Why would anyone think "bloody and violent" is automatically mature? Adults also have to think about the consequences of their actions. So always defaulting to brutality doesn't seem very adult to me
I think it depends on what story you want to tell.
Back in the 1970s and before, it was a standard of comics that, say, the Hulk rampages through a small town or city block. Buildings collapse but not one person is killed or permanently crippled. But the main point was to have some action and a certain amount of realism.
Even in the Hulk television show, which was on a very toned down power level, people joked how lucky it was that nobody was ever on the other side of a brick wall when the Hulk smashed through it.
If the main point of the story is to deal with the aftermath of an event like that, superhero movie as disaster movie, then they should emphasize the realism. If that's not the main point, then no.
Power with Girl is better.
I do think they should be willing to show some blood and gore. I'm not a fan of Silver Age "everything is ok anyway" storytelling. Plus, if they don't want to show blood, don't tell a story requiring it.
However, IMO there's a difference between showing a character bleeding from a wound, and getting their head chopped off. Realism doesn't need to mean characters intentionally act brutally
Oh, what do you know; a scene from a movie that doesn't prove your point. (Tip; the excessive violence in that climax was to a narrative end; specifically how far Wonder Woman would go to save someone. The Snyderverse movies use excessive violence just because Snyder thinks it's cool and mature -- which is the exact opposite of mature storytelling, but who's keeping count?)
Doctor Strange: "You are the right person to replace Logan."
X-23: "I know there are people who disapprove... Guys on the Internet mainly."

To each their own...but I have no desire to re-watch any DCEU movie that's come out so far. And I have re-watched (many times) all the MCU movies except Black Panther.
God I would say Superman Returns and Green Lantern are better than any DCEU movie. At least those captured the spirit of the characters.
