Superman in JL movie (contains SPOILERS)

[DochaDocha]

You know, I liked how DC movies were largely avoiding post-credits scenes, so this is kind of disappointing IMO that they've just adopted Marvel's policy.

Oh, please! Marvel did NOT invent post-credits scenes. They just popularized them.

It's not "copying" Marvel any more than adding humor to the stories is copying Marvel.

You know the bold is a bit of hyperbole. What percentage of all humorous movies are Marvel? Minuscule. What percentage of all movies from 1986* - 2017 that have post-credit scenes are Marvel movies? Considerably more.

I know they didn't invent it, any more than Siegel and Shuster didn't invent the comic book superhero. But it's so closely tied to Marvel practice, you have to ask yourself would they even bother doing this if a whole bunch of other superhero movies released in recent years hadn't? Dark Knight trilogy didn't, MoS didn't, WW didn't. People wait at the end of DC movies and look at their smartphones to see if there's a post-credit specifically because of Marvel.

But more to the point, I'm not really fond of post-credit scenes. They're somewhat quaint, and Marvel is almost obligated to continue doing it because they've been doing it from the get-go, but I don't think of them as a movie feature that should scream "Copy me!" I guess they're not any worse than the end of a TV episode and there's a "Next time, on..." but I generally would rather you set up the next movie within the narrative of your existing one, instead of throwing a 30-90 second scene in the end that's somewhat detached from the rest of the movie.

*I picked 1986 because of Ferris Bueller. I picked this movie because it's the first one I think of as popularizing the practice.

honestly want a man of steel sequel, that movie is huge. Like it is a real threat to the world.
I am not sure how the league would react to, say, Brainiac invasion but superman solo movie is really badass if the stakes are really high.
I think of Man of Steel as the ideal version of saiyan saga from dragonballs.
i sort of thought zod was too weak in mos since he is nothing but punchbag for kal and jor, but faona was really badass.
doomsday sort of fixed that as doomsday is soooo OP.
But i am not sure how to feel about bvs

What movie did you watch Zod had the upper hand on Clark the entire fight till the end. It was basically a trained soldier vs. a guy with no training whatso ever. Faora would have kicked Bruce's armored ass Kryptonite or no kryptonite.

she would probably use the kryptonite to whoop his ass

Marvel is reaping and will likely continue to reap the benefits of getting out of the gates first.

"The Superman sequel "Man of Steel 2" also isn't coming anytime soon, if at all. Roven says there's no script but "various story ideas" are being kicked around."

Disappointing, but not really shocking.

Ideas being kicked around isn't a bad thing. A script could come out in the next few months and then production can start.

You're too optimistic. If we're lucky we'll see a Superman solo in 2021.

"How did you like Superman?"

"He’s best part of film"

Superman fans are going to be very happy.

The other post-credits scene has leaked now, and boy was I smiling

I get the feeling they'll be singing a very different tune a few weeks or months after JL drops. Superman is receiving massive praise by people who have seen the movie already and this movie may JUST be the thing that brings our divided fanbase back together.

How do I know? Check out the DCEU thread in the DC Board. We have two posters who saw an advanced screening last night. One of them HATED the last two Snyder movies with a fiery passion. I've crossed swords with this guy several times. The other one loved the last two Snyder movies. They BOTH loved this movie.

Maybe people will finally appreciate MoS and BvS if they look at all this as a single journey.
