Come on Clown Prince do what your mother says, get in your room and acknowledge the greatness of The Force Awakens.

Hmm..what could go wrong?

 

[GasparZizou]

Some people (looking at you Gaspar) will say, what if the kryptonite bullet can't penetrate Superman's skin because it takes several seconds for the Kryptonite to break the kryptonian cells?

However, Batman made those kryptonite smoke bullets which weakened Superman, so at that point, a Kryptonite bullet would have been enough to kill Superman. Therefore, instead of the spear, all he needed was two Kryptonite smoke bombs, and a bullet made out of kryptonite to finish the job.

I've given up all

for this bread.

APR, 26 2016 DIRECTOR SAYS MARVEL MADE CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR BECAUSE OF BATMAN V SUPERMAN ANNOUNCEMENT



"We needed to do something challenging with the material, or we were going to start to lose the audience."


BY EVAN CAMPBELL
Filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo believe Marvel moved forward with Captain America: Civil War because of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice's announcement.



Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Joe Russo discussed how Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige's thoughts evolved on their pitch for the upcoming movie, especially after Warner Bros. announced they were making Batman v Superman.

"There have been 11 or 12 [Marvel Cinematic Universe] movies so far, all with a fairly traditional structure," said Russo. "Our pitch to them was: People will tell you they love chocolate ice cream — until you give it to them five days a week. It's time to give them some rainbow sherbet.


"Kevin is a maverick, and he's very sensitive to how people are responding to his content. He said he thought we might be right. And after they announced Batman v Superman, he said, 'You guys are absolutely right.' We needed to do something challenging with the material, or we were going to start to lose the audience."

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

After so many successful Marvel films and so many jokes about WB trying to catch up to the MCU, it was Marvel who made CW because of DC/WB's big superhero film all along?

 

[DiFabio]

No ****.

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, that wasn't a great mystery, was it? Just like it was no surprise why WB blinked when Civil War announced it's release date as being the same as the one proposed for Batman V. Superman. Sometimes you can read between the lines without too much difficulty.

 

[DiFabio]

Yeah, that's what I thought as soon as Civil War was announced with the Iron Man vs. Cap premise. I'm pretty sure we were all discussing that on here too (whatever year that was).

Really just goes to show how obnoxious and petty Disney/Marvel can be with their monopoly. Unfortunately, it's not like they had anything to worry about considering WB/DC couldn't even deliver with BATMAN and SUPERMAN. Then again, who knows how Suicide Squad turns out, could be WB's trump card.

 

[jye4ever]

This must be the point where the Russo's go rogue from Marvel.

Whedon, Favreau, Taylor, Branagh, Leterrier, Wright, Johnston and Black are waiting for them.

 

[karamazov80]

I think it's inevitable, honestly

Would love to be in the room when Feige is screaming, "You were making episodes of ****ing Community before I gave you your opportunity! And this is how you repay me! You're no better than that **** Edgar Wright. Just. . .just get out of my ****ing sight."

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I heard Thanos' GOTG scene was inspired by Feige.

the..the.....the....conspiracy... IS REAL??? OMG IT IS REALLLLLL

I think it will be- so then Marvel announces an all villian MCU movie- SINISTER SIX

the..the.....the....conspiracy... IS REAL??? OMG IT IS REALLLLLL

Is that Ezra Miller as The Flash?

 

[Khev]

With the wind of a 97% rottentomato score at their backs the Russos really threw Feige under the bus on the eve of the big premiere. I have to wonder if he did indeed piss them off and to what extent. Also have to wonder if they're hoping to get out of Infinity War.

 

[chewblacca]

I read an interview where they explained marvel's movie making structure. It seems very rigid and definite, but it seems to be working for them so far. The Russos are going full steam into infinity war. They said that they always wanted to do action science fictiony films.

 

[Khev]

Then I wonder if that's their public plea to Disney to get Feige off their backs so they can make the Infinity War film they want to make.

Too much at stake. Gonna be by the numbers as by the numbers can be.

I know this is off-topic a bit, but I just stumbled on this old Snyder interview from 2008 and it's... well, you have to see for yourself: https://www.ew.com/article/2008/07/17/watchmen-chat-director-zack-snyder

Remember kids, it's not a "dark" movie unless Batman gets raped in prison! Tis a strange interview...

There's a huge billboard on the interstate near me promoting this preacher who tells everyone that Jesus wore fine silk robes and wants everyone to be filthy rich.
