Wonder Woman - June 2, 2017

In fairness, DC did a lot of those characters first. . .Marvel just did it better.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Wait wait wait, so this is a thing in the movie?

Spoiler

Why is Sups in the middle like he matters or like he's the most popular character?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Sups looks weird. So does the man playing WW.

 

[EVILFACE]

Dug the new DC entro. The new DC is also slick.

Thought it was really good.

Sure there could be some quibbles here and there, but I didn't see anything that would make someone not like the movie.

Pine and Gadot had good chemistry. They did a good job showing her abilities. Taking out the sniper Poison was neat. Ares was pretty kewl. I srsly thought he was going to be the old dude. Even liked the companies they took along. Sameer was a stand out of those.

The battlefield scene was nice to. I got some feels from it. Love the ending battle.

The need for the photo makes sense now.

The Reeve 'wink' at the end.

A solid 8.5 in my book.

Would have been a 9 if when she jacked the old lady's outfit she said "Say, that's a nice dress."

Hope Flash and Fishguy is handles as well.

According to one reviewer the director really like the old Chris Reeve Superman movie. She drew some inspiration from that film. The alley fight and the revolving door scene in particular.

Yea that dc intro made me smile it reminded me of the justice league unlimited show. So cool I hope to see all of them.

 

[crows]

that pic as an intro is badass

That's a pretty subjective matter. It depends on the character for me. Where I give edges though, is that DC has a vastly superior Supernatural-Verse, whereas Marvel has a better Tec/Science/Cosmic-Verse. DC has a much better Espionage-Verse, but Marvel has a better Street-Verse. The Bat-Verse is better than the Spider-Verse in that it's more "tight", but Spider-Man has a bit more varried villains.

If you break it down to character vs character, you won't really reach a consensus. It's entirely up to you.

Yeah the more I look at their new group shot the more it looks like ass.

Like why the weird designs for these iconic characters.

They can't show cinematic characters because it would just be Superman, Batman and now WW lol

 

[chewblacca]

Yeah but their characters have been in movies longer.

 

[jye4ever]

Oh absolutely WB were first at being superhero movie titans while Marvel was only known for Hulk tv show.

Then came Joel Schumacher.

 

[jye4ever]

So...

Diana tells Steve:

"I have no father, I was brought to life by Zeus." Clay blah blah blah.

Then she

Spoiler

gets all shocked when Ares tells her that Zues is her father. Seriously what the hell is the difference between the two?!

 

[Thomascrown17]

Saw it. Not sure what to score it lol. Its definitely good. I just don't think 9+ good. I guess 8-9. 3rd act / final battle was kind of a 180 compared to the first 2/3 of the movie.

I read somewhere that she was trying to integrate that film, Indiana Jones, and Casablanca.

Nowadays, these companies are essentially interchangeable. There is a standard way that comics are written, and that crossovers are handled, and how they are rebooted, etc. Writers go from one company to the other like it's no big deal. But pre-Marvel, DC was not very good. They could be fun, but disposable entertainment. There was no characterization to speak of, which reflects the fact that they were writing comics for very young boys. Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko then came along, and changed the game fundamentally. DC eventually had to respond, but it took a good, long while (really the late '60s) before they could even hope to compete with what Marvel was doing on a quality writing level. So yes, DC developed the Atom, and Green Arrow, and the Flash first. But Ant-Man, Hawkeye, and Quicksilver were much more interesting for a long while.

This whole homage to STM is being way overblown.

 

[karamazov80]

There were some obvious nods, like the alleyway scene. But it wasn't that overdone.

dunno but i guess he could be alluding to the old birds and bees situation rather than magic trick method of reproduction

could be a trend ,didn't jor el and his missis reproduce the natural way rather than the science thing every one else on krypton was doing

I saw bits of Superman in this, but nothing that gave me the same feeling as watching Chris Reeve for the first time.

Yup, just because they copied a scene does it automatically mean they captured the magic.
