1/6 Hot Toys - BvS: Dawn of Justice - Batman

[Tourist]

Steve Jobs was forced out of Apple when his obsession/passion became uncomfortable for board members, and any business leader making a speech like Lex did, would not still be running the company the next quarter.

Sure, if one ignores the fact that Apple took Jobs back and from then on he could do no wrong.

I think it's a HUGE improvement over the original prototype. I still wish his shoulders were a bit bigger though.

Yeah, he's still not cut or as beefy as he needs to be yet. Chest is still ****-ish and shoulders still too small

 

[SilverStar17]

Is that the new body? It almost kind of looks like the first one when compared to these photos:

Maybe it is the new one because I don't believe the abs were that discernible on the first body. Regardless, judging by those comparison pictures, they need to shorten the pectoral muscles a bit so they don't look as long and make the bottom four abdominal muscles a bit larger.

I wish they'd make the scratches on his bat emblem more visible.

Why do you bother trolling around the dc section?

Sorry? Where was I trolling DC?

At least four threads so far

 

[dario2739]

It's far deeper than most, to be fair.

For a Marvel film though - that's not saying a lot.

I've never 'trolled' anywhere. I've always made reasoned arguments and valid points. Not once have I descended into mindless abuse. Is it because I have an Iron Man icon? Am I not allowed to have an interest in DC, too? What is your problem?

No, for a comic book movie, full stop.

And that kind of comment is far closer to trolling than anything I've ever said.

Winter soldier was deeper, IMO. Civil War was a fun blockbuster, but not a deep movie.

But I do felt as a Captain movie more than an Avengers movie.

I actually didn't like Lex in B v S. I understand wanting to move away from previous film Luthors, but it difficult to believe that Lex (in that twitchy, oddball fashion) would be allowed to still run LexCorp. Steve Jobs was forced out of Apple when his obsession/passion became uncomfortable for board members, and any business leader making a speech like Lex did, would not still be running the company the next quarter. To me, it was a missed opportunity to make Lex a serious threat to the world and Superman, and instead it was another attempt at a "Joker"-type villain.

Although the body of this Bats has improved, I think he could be beefier, and .... harder? Although the suit is made to look like cloth over muscles, it's obviously a muscle-suit or body armor. I think Hot Toys was trying too hard to make it look like a real person's body under the suit....

The problem with your logic is that it all depends on how are the shares of the company divided, and also the type of company regarding control and investors.

If he has the majority share, he won't be kicked from it, for instance.

Really? It was focused on political issues and intimate emotions as opposed to the usual big bad in the final act thing. Certainly deeper than the vast majority of CBMs.

Which I assume, is why he specifically brought up WS, and not a random group of cbm.

Exactly. If he is also the leading shareholder the only way to remove him would be to get a court order saying he's damaging stocks...or something like that. He's not just chairman/CEO but owner. The Steve jobs comparison doesn't work.

I originally said 'than most' not all. So you could say the same about his response.

SS, no offense man, but you really do need to start learning that just because you personally like or dislike something, that's not the measuring stick for determing whether it actually is good or bad. Judging from reading your posts (I feel it's quite demonstrable that you're more of a Marvellite than a DC fan, which there is nothing wrong with at all by the way), it's coming across that you're of the mentality that if you personally like it, then it's a fact that it's a good film. However, if others dislike it, then your mentality is that it's ok for them to dislike something that is actually good. If it's something that you dislike, then it's a fact that it's bad. However, if people like it, then your mentality is that it's ok for them to like something that is actually bad.

I can see and understand why some members in here are labeling and perceiving you as a troll, because most of your posts in the DC section from what I've do indeed come off as "trollish". I don't know if that is indeed what your intent is; however, I will say this: I frequent the Marvel section also, as I'm sure you know, because I quite like and enjoy both universes. Your posts in that section do not have a troll-esque vibe at all. I don't say this while being partisan to any side because as I said, I quite enjoy both universes; I'm just simply stating based on what I've observed from your general posting tendencies in both sections. If trolling is indeed your intent though, I can understand you denying it because from what I've also observed from prior experiences, the best trolls tend to be the ones who subtlety incite arguments and flames while feigning innocence or making it look like they are the "victim" and that they are the ones being attacked.

It's fine if you didn't enjoy BvS and you're of course free to state your opinion, but on the same token, I've never seen someone who disliked something make it a point to visit various threads and denigrate it at any chance they get whenever they see people stating anything remotely positive about it.

Based on my experiences though, I've noticed Marvel fans tend to be more die-hard Marvel fans and not really like DC than there are purely DC fans that despise Marvel. Don't get me wrong, I've seen a lot of DC fanboys who disparage anything Marvel puts out even if it was indeed a good film (which I personally think most of them are), but I just generally seem to see more Marvel fans that are exclusively Marvel fans while it seems there's more DC fans who genuinely enjoy both universes.

Lots of people would be so much happier if they'd just realize that perspective or opinion is all relative. I believe Einstein got a head start on this. Lol.

I will not start a discussion so soon, to avoid spoilers.

I did enjoy the movie quite a lot, and really felt as a sequel to Winter Soldier more than as an Avengers movie (which, IMO, it's a good thing, the Captain movies are my favorites in the MCU, along with Ant-Man and GotG). loved some characters development. But overall, I found WS more dense (as a political thriller).

The vast majority of CBM is one of the vaguest points possible, there are dozens, and a lot of them quite shallow.

And that is only my opinion. I'm not trying to define any truth (I do believe all truth is relative and there is no absolute truth. My paradoxical point of rational limit is: "The only absolute is relativity").

 

[jespernicolaj]

It's not all relative and there is no harm in discussion. Actually, that is one of the points where we advance as humans. We discuss and learn. Sometimes the discussion is futile but often some new perspective is brought up and we view the subject matter from a new and different angle

 

[Antihero]

I went to this thread looking for updates on the Batman figure and all I see are people talking about that Captain America movie....
