DC Extended Universe

yeah he has the most successful experience with superhero movies besides zack snyder

 

Well they've only had two huge movies that have been great so far, I was talking more about experience

 

It's about damn time! I love this.. with all the crap slinging with Hamill and Trek..
Even if they're giving this a ghostbuster bump for 'reasons' it's still high enough! Gotta find a theater after work Thursday..

Good to hear WW is good according to the critics.
I consider myself a DC fan, but I'll skip this on a moral ground.
This might sound weird, but I fundamentally disagree with the idea of having a half naked woman running around the battlefields of WW1, where millions of people died. I usually have no problem with fiction meeting real history in movies, but this time I refuse the idea.

 

Probably a good idea to put her in the front on the popcorn.

 

Agreed on that.

Check out the International trailer.

 

That's cool, nobody's forcing you to go here, it ain't star wars after all.
But, gotta ask, did you object to this?

 

The idea of Captain America never bothered me, because I think his entire character is a metaphor of the US soliders. It's bascially like an old US veteran telling an exaggerated story about his ww2 experience to his grandchildren. I do believe that Americans (to a certain level) with an American character like CA do have the moral ground to tell a story like CA's, since they played crucial role in defeating the Germans (who without any reasonable doubt were the one-sided villains and a threat to basically every modern humanistic ideals).

Unlike Wonder Woman, which is (to me) a highly disrespectful and outright offensive way to cash on the memory of one of the most relevant and devastating events of the 20th century (which wasn't a black and white conflict like ww2).
This is just my opinion though, I'm not discouraging anyone from watching it. It's just a stupid CBM anyways.

 

DO you have issues with Wonder Woman in general though
?

 

Well, for me it's not disrespectful at all.


If you think Cap is just a tall tale from an old vet, that's cool. But your second paragraph.. I just have to disagree with.

 

Absolutely not. I liked her character in the original Justice League series, I really liked the 2009 animated Wonder Woman (which is basically the same story as the recent movie), and I liked her character in the new 52 animated movies (especially in JL: War).

And I think Gal Gadot was surprisingly good in BvS, despite the short screen time.
I just refuse the idea of Wonder Woman in ww1. As far as I know her original story took place during ww2, which would've been more appropriate to her character imo. I know they didn't really have any choice after CA, but still...
It also makes no sense story wise. Why would she fight in ww1, but skip the even more devastating ww2? If there is an answer in the movie, please tell me.

 

That does sound weird.

 

Well, we haven't gotten the story yet for obvious reasons but if they address it in the movie, I'll let you know.
Likely it's disillusionment, tho. Postwar this hit the American psyche hard, and we stayed in isolation. Few were interested in fighting the Nazis prior to Pearl. So, unless a disillusioned Diana was directly attacked.. why bother? What good did it do last time?

 

Wonder Woman officially the first certified fresh movie from the DCEU.

 

Why WWII? She skipped the war because of what she went through in the first one. She lost faith in the humans .

 

Anybody seen Wonder Woman yet?
