Marve studios's No smoking policy vs DC/WB's no humor policy

[JakeSully]

Do you think these policies are similar?

[CyberCubed]

What? Not at all.

[JakeSully]

Do you think DC/WB's "No humor" policy is ridiculous and taking the wrong lessons from Nolan?

[Autbot_Benz]

no I kind of like having Marvel be family friendly/ for everyone and DC being more seriously and more for teens and adults

Except for Wolverine (who's at Fox), Nick Fury and J. Jonah Jameson, it's not really a big deal with a No Smoking policy. And they where cigar smokers.

Is the No Humor policy a real thing? We are talking about men and women dressed up in tights beating up people in back alleys and green spacemen who flies. Why even bother if you can't have fun with a already funny concept. :roll:

Oh my f*cking god already. I give you a long leash, Jake, but you're really making somethin' outta nothin' this time.
-----------------

First, No, nobody at WB put a rule on paper that says "Nobody smiles or cracks jokes". That's stupid.

What would be almost as stupid, would be doing the same exact kind of movies that Marvel is doing. For one thing, for all the money they make, they're all exactly the same and it's contributing a lot to the supposed "backlash" or "burnout" people say they have towards comic book movies. When you see five comic book movies a year, by the same people, with the same tone, style, and jokes, then yeah, it's redundant.

If the DCU movies are going to carve out a piece, they can't simply copy Marvel's way of doing things - despite a lot of people who don't pay attention insisting that's exactly what they're doing, despite all evidence to the contrary proving that they're doing almost everything different on purpose. Thus, if Marvel's films are "light and fluffy", DC's have to be more self-serious and grounded. And given the fact that DC's approach to super-heroes has always been more about Myth and less about Pop - when it's been done right - it's an approach that makes more sense. Corny sh*t like everyone getting plastered and seeing who can pick up Thor's hammer may be fine in Marvel's movies, with their general tone, but I really, really don't care to see sh*t like that from Superman and Batman and the rest.

Personally, while I grant that super-heroes are fantastical, I fail to see why that in turn makes them farcical. I mean, yeah, costumes, ooohhh. Stories about worlds blowing up and people with godlike powers trying to STOP them from blowing up, has never seemed to me like it was something farcical just because they were wearing capes. "It's already goofy, make fun of it some more. Just stop and crack jokes in the middle of the end-of-the-world fight scene." How about no, so we never get another "Batman and Robin"-type movie? Some of the Marvel films already tiptoe a little too close to that vein for my liking as it is. I'm perfectly fine and even excited whenever a movie comes out that actually tries to elevate super-hero stories beyond mere sensory assault, all bright colors and explosions and characters constantly winking at the audience like the whole thing's a big joke everyone's in on. Things like stories and actual drama and things having consequences are all good, too.
------------------------

Short answer: No, it's not a rule, but it is a good stylistic choice if they want to stand out in an already-crowded marketplace, and it better reflects the characters being adapted. Marvel's super-heroes, even in print, are more like "Super-Heroes As Pop Icons", or rock stars, where DC's always had more of a "Gods and Titans" vibe. Thus a more self-serious and reverent tone for the movies is simply more in step with the material being adapted.

DC's comics have always been more serious than Marvel's; it makes sense their movies would be as well. I see some people trying to make a big huge deal out of it, like it's somehow not exactly what they should be doing. "Nah, just do it goofy and silly like Marvel, it makes money." Yeah but I don't care about that, even though I'm fine with what they do I want and need something much different from DC's movies. Like I can drink light beer all day and night but I still need a shot of Jack once in a while to swish things around a little. Mix it up. That sh*t's good for ya.

Your not cool, your a 17 year old stupid punk teen and i'm a smart 34 year old adult and a more mature person than you are. You can call me an old man, a relic etc.

The fact that you're 34 and making a post like this isn't helping.

At least I'm self-aware when I'm posting nonsense. :lol:

Yes i am a furry Ninjapug and a brony, im in all fandoms.

But the 17 year old punk kid thinks he is so smart, im sure he is upset by the "No smoking policy" at Marvel Studios and probably thinks smoking is cool and mature.

[Amaranthus]

It's because I am smart.
You should be f*cking bowing down to me because I'm inherently superior to you. I'm not upset at all. I just think you're a massive idiot who makes sh*t threads.

Yiff in hell.


Anyway,

No smoking really has no effect on marvel's movies. And dc doesn't have a no humor rule, they're just don't want to sound like a tumblr quipfest straight from Joss Whedon's handbook.

Smoking isn't cool unless Sanji is doing it.

Are we sure this fella is 34? I know little kids with more maturity than this guy.

It's really disturbing how often I'm not sure if someone legitimately has mental issues or is trolling on this site.
