    well after test audiences and execs viewed Snyder's first cut of the movie it was called "unwatchable". so they cut it to pieces with a 2 hour mandate and took the hit.

One actually worth watching because of villains will be something people will be interested in. I honestly think this is the way to move forward. Bring on Lobo bring on the Joker bring on Black Adam. Bring on Deathstroke
    I still feel like heroes get people in the door though.

    We'll see how it goes.

    Well I liked Pain and Gain if that counts as Bay comedy...

    But would definitely prefer they prioritize a director who can do good comedy and dialogue over action for a Lobo movie.

    Also If they get Bay it pretty much means they are committing critical suicide, might actually have a movie in the DCEU with a lower Rotten Tomatoes than Suicide Squad.
    When you crush an ant beneath your foot, do feel remorse? No. Is this because you are evil or because you recognize yourself as a higher form of life? This is what the Wizard could not understand. If I have the powers of the gods, then am I not a god myself? Should I not be treated as such?

    I think if you're doing it right that should be the case.

    I guess Superman wasn't smiling enough in this scene so they felt the need to cut it from the theatrical, still nice though.

    For all the crap Marvel gets they got for their "Weak" villains they made a smart move they knew most villains are one offs and concentrated on the heroes because they're who the audience is going to come back for and if you look at the reactions to their trailers and films people genuinely care for the MCU heroes.

    WB are going very wrong again. they already have a good answer to Deadpool. Deathstroke. WB should focus on building a Gotham style universe with DeathStroke as a major reoccuring character.

    I doubt that. Translating a script to screen is different. And good script, good humor are a lot of ifs.

    A beautiful scene. But ultimately pointless. Good as additional material for fans. But it does not add anything to the film's narrative.

    First look at Sivana Industrkes' Logo...



    Finally we'll see Mark Strong playing an evil bald industrialist.

    I remember the "unwatchable" claims. They were made about WW too. They came out back in January 2017, before a working print of either movie had been put together. Remember, WW's music wasn't added to the film until mid February, and JL didn't have it's soundtrack added until late July/August.

    That is the right move for Marvel. People actually care for the heroes. These villain films aren't even villains. Suicide Squad tries to remind us that they are the bad guys when clearly they are the good guys. Doing stuff that good guys do in a film.

    Looks very "X-Men-esque."
    Always Forward. Forward Always.
