So are they saying to Zack that you had control of the ship but it's going somewhere we don't want to go so here's help, or you had control of the ship and the waters got real rocky so here's some help?

The latter one.

The latter one.

 

[IrishJedi]

True. This is why I'm selling off all of my Hot Toys and washing dishes daily in the WB Commissary.

There goes that Witch toy collection out the window.

You're always a good sport IJ.

But you know me and my lolcat city.

 

[IrishJedi]

Yeah, it's all good.

The waters got rocky? You're kidding, right? The ship hit a ******** iceberg Titanic style and Snyder is holding to a floating door while Affleck is telling him, "I'll never let go!"

Jye, use your Photoshop powers to illustrate that metaphor

Son, your millennial is showing. It made $870 million and no one on the filmmaking team was let go. So it made it to New York with all passengers alive, just not with the elegance and fanfare they would have preferred. But the same ship is adding a couple key navigators and is heading right back out to sea.

Pfft, who needs that rusty old man, when you've got me (!), the "Average Photoshop-Man" !!! Using my (average, really, I mean, I haven't touched that thing in about a year), I now giveth to you, the "Painting"...



I know it's crap, but cut me some slack, okay?! I did this in about 5 minutes. Don't judge me!!!111!

The glare on the side of the door makes it look like Snyder is holding a machete. Disturbing image to say the least.

Pretty good comeback actually.

Yeah to call it a failure "financially wise" is off.

I do think the sting of the critical reviews, the overall disappointment from the fans, and the huge drop off is what got under WB skin.


Personally I don't care how much it made. I am let down it was not a better film. IMO someone should have been let go after MOS... Snyder, Goyer. or whoever... The shakeup IMO should have happened then... They basically ended up giving us much the same film tone wise. It was better IMO but someone should have been helping to direct the ship back on course a bit better... Instead of a nice straight line to our DC fan hearts they took a scenic route of things we never asked for or wanted to see. Personally I think Snyder is lucky to still be directing JL... Not because of the box office of BvS but because of the final product that ended up on screen... had that product been better everything else would have fallen into place. Perhaps it was not Snyder's fault.. However I look at Sucker Punch, Watchmen, the owl movie, MoS, and even 300 (has not aged well) and I tend to think the blame lies there but perhaps it was the script or something..


I don't know... I have nothing agains the man. I liked his DotD remake and 300 the first time I saw it... I just don;t feel that his sense of style and stroy telling fits this comic book Universe very well. Or perhaps it does and it's all Goyers fault (which is very likely)

We will find out next year.
