Batman v Superman thread
 

With the movie being released this week can we get the BvS thread in the TV & Movies section unlocked?

Just make a new review thread.

How about I just make a new thread? Yes? No? Maybe so?

upvoted.

EDIT.

First fan review tweets are popping up. The DC fanboys are full of joy.

Leo must be proud.

Of what, getting the last thread locked?

I'm sure he is.

That thread was locked long after he left though.

unhun...he's still hanging around apparently. If he can get his big boy pants back on and have a normal convo, great, but posthumously getting threads locked is awful petty.

We were all being really civil - there was no need, aside from an apparent flood of messages to the mods....

It doesn't matter at this point, really. It would be nice though to take the numerous PM convos I've been getting, and bring them all together for a fun discussion. This will undoubtable be one of the more hotly debated CBM's, and worth a fun discussion.

Seriously, I think it's going to be tough to top the action (read as action, not bad green screen whip pans and effects) from DD season 2.
It's crazy how, in the right hands DD was compelling and fantastic on screen, compared to the abysmal Affleck version.

Totally threadjacking this one:

I'm only on episode 4, and the only complaint I have isn't really a complaint at all because I find Charlie Cox so damn endearing. But...boy his American is slipping a lot this season. Especially anytime he says anything with a long "i" sound in it. Like...Irish.

So good. So damn good. So way better than probably any other Superhero thing coming out this year. Including Batman, which...yeah no. Let that thread stay locked. Good riddance.

HA!!!

I agree - but also, I think it's important for the BVS fans to know what BVS could have been, or at least, why Affleck is a hack.

compare the devils...Cox wins, easy.

See there we disagree. I love Affleck, and not just cuz he's a townie boy. Okay, so maybe there is a bit of that...

I thought he was a great Matt Murdock, and if that movie had been the most recent run of She-Hulk? It would have been amazing. But Affleck had the same problem Bale did, great at being the man under the mask , way less great than the man actually in the mask.

I think he might be a better Batman this time around than a Bruce Wayne. Which would be interesting. But I will never know until that god-awful movie comes out on Netflix.

Yeah, I love Boston, It's great; but I've never like that guy, so maybe I have the inverse relationship to him...:p
For me, it's that DD never really grabbed me, I read a few comics, watched the movie...all forgettable.

But this series, they're three dimensional characters! Like actually! Not 2.5 D...fully fleshed out. It has flaws (you're not there yet, we'll talk when you're done the whole series), but the flaws are sort of forgivable...

I don't know...like I said somewhere else...it's not perfect, like Better call Saul; definitely not a master work - but it has moments of greatness, mind boggling awesome, like DD himself. I appreciate the struggle, and theres so much of it. He feels like he has to work that much harder to be a hero. I kinda love that.

Affleck, he's walking through the scene...I don't buy a moment of him being anything other than Affleck.

Also, the broke blind kid, trying to do the right thing, Vs some 1% rich kid...

My heart goes to the Devil.

Agreed. Daredevil is yet another Marvel property I would never have given the time of day to were it not for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

If nobody makes a new thread by the 25th, I will.

Considering the arguments C42 between you and Leo before Krutch joined in, that's how I see why the thread went up in smokes. It turned way too much into a Man of Steel assumption based thread from certain people and belittling opinions if they don't match. It's the same thing as... well a good amount of the movie threads or even the game threads from time to time. I'm not taking Leo's side on the matter as I personally am indifferent to the movie, but the arguments spiraled too far out of control which led to the thread's end.

Not saying anyone is truly at fault, but that's why it died personally. Odds are it'll happen again if anyone makes another thread; yes, I get we all have different opinions, but it escalated too far. Why recreate something if history is destined to repeat itself? Do I agree with everyone's opinion? No, but I see where they're coming from and considering how far it went, what would be the point?

Not saying it's anyone's fault again, but it's my two cents from what I've seen on the thread.

If people would agree not to mention Man of Steel in the Batman vs Superman thread, I think it'll probably be okay.

Not that I believe people would agree to such a thing, or go back on their agreement.

So....we can't mention the prequel to a movie in the discussion about the movie.
Can we extend this logic to other threads?

The problem as I said plastron was it wasn't about the movie anymore, it turned into the same points repeated over and over again. It's beyond repetitious anf just beating the dead horse constantly. I'm not expecting news all the time, but honestly, anyone who claims they like Man of Steel are just denounced by some, and those who didn't like it.....

It's the same pattern regardless, it spiraled out of control. Any issues with Man of Steel should have been moved to a new thread, not destroy a thread someone may want to read. Instead of discussion on the movie, we get the same points hammered into our skulls. Honestly, it couldn't have been difficult to just make another thread called Man of Steel Discussion or How would you fix Man of Steel?. Such a simple resolution that didn't occur.

If you want to speculate, go ahead, but denouncing any views on the film and instead focusing on the prequel to prove a point? I did see discussion before with the trailers, toys, and hell concept art so what the hell happened?

I know the point you're making, and not just because you make the exact same point twice in a post about not liking repetition.

What I'm asking is there some way we could extend this proposed clause to other threads?

Apologies on me repeating myself. I say yes, there's the obvious report the post as spam and move on. Or, maybe something else entirely?
