What can DC learn from the unexpected success of Wonder Woman?
Having so many critically flopped movies suddenly followed up by what is arguably the best cape movie of the decade is sure to have a serious impact. How do you think it will affect future Batman or Superman movies? Would a WW-centered Justice League movie work? What do you hope DC will take away from this success?
Jose Richardson
>What can DC learn from the unexpected success of Wonder Woman?
Be more like Marvel and less like Snyder
Eli Carter
>less like Snyder
That's never going to happen. Snyder's wife is one of the people in charge. She's the whole reason he gets to keep making movies in the first place.
Liam Martin
>Be more like Marvel How is Wonder Woman like Marvel?
Ayden Moore
It's good, and not bad.
Jonathan Sanchez
>What can DC learn from the unexpected success of Wonder Woman? To fire Zack Snyder. All his movies are terrible.
Samuel Reed
MoS is the best Cape movie of the decade.
Christopher Nelson
WW is way more Snyder than Marvel though
Andrew Rogers
"Wondy's a success! we need a 100 more women super hero movies."
"What about the scripts?"
"Scripts? Fuck that!"
Andrew Collins
My favorite part about the Mousedrones anti-Snyder rhetoric is the fact that Wonder Woman is actually the first DCEU movie that Snyder helped write the script for.
Snyder needs more control, not less. Though admittedly he needs to learn how to use colors better as a director.
Jacob Gomez
Snyder is good at certain things and bad at other certain things
Elijah Martinez
Get a better director.
Charles Richardson
I haven't seen it yet but I am given to understand that one of the characters in it smiled once.
Angel Howard
Snyder would be a great cinematographer, he does a pretty good job of capturing striking images and converting comic book styles to the big screen. He just needs someone over his shoulder telling him when something he wants to do is fucking stupid.
Juan Harris
>He just needs someone over his shoulder telling him when something he wants to do is fucking stupid.
So he's pretty much the new George Lucas.
I think the real lesson here is a movie is inherently a team effort and letting a director run roughshod over the whole production is a mistake.
Camden Thompson
It can learn to get someone better writing and directing it's movies because Snyder is just a cancer on them.
Evan Ramirez
>being carried around by Diana like so much luggage Not gonna lie, I'm a little envious. Lucky bastards.
How come everyone's always bagging on Snyder, and not that shitstain Goyer?
Easton Campbell
>So he's pretty much the new George Lucas. Nah, Mos and Bvs had FAR fucking greater thing in them then all the prequels combined.
Adam Wright
see It's not a Snyder problem, it's a problem with letting one man have... too much... power?
Holy shit, that is meta as fuck
Carter Green
>Be more like Marvel More Quipping Every film follows the exact same formula Make every movie (expect GOTG) look like a big budget TV show
Lord i hope not.
Brandon Peterson
One of us needs to cuck Snyder
Dominic Bennett
So Thor movies aren't Marvel then?
Robert Flores
Is it really fair to cite that as a specifically George Lucas type thing? Let's be real here, we all have ideas we don't realize are dumb, but everyone else does.
Justin Cook
Don't be afraid to have your characters act like they're supposed to act.
Oliver Williams
>I haven't seen it yet but I am given to understand that one of the characters in it smiled once. You better retract that or DC will sue you for slander. DC characters having fun...that's crazy talk!
Parker Miller
Marvel invented smiling. What else have theyve done that i wasnt aware of.
Lucas Hughes
Yeah but Luke Gorgeous was the guy who most famously got those ideas put into a movie. Hitler was not the first, last, or best guy to try and exterminate a race, but he's our go-to example.
Camden Howard
Why are you tripfagging? Are you one of those attention whoring, 600lb redditors?
Carson Thomas
I didn't bring up Marvel, you did.
Marvel's movies have problems but at least they don't exclusively make sourpuss movies for sad people.
Christopher Perry
Keep bribing reviewers, like Marvel has done, it's the only way all these terrible superhero movies could get any higher than 30% in RT.
Blake Wright
But Marvel is bad. That makes no sense.
Nathan Hall
This. It's pretty fun seeing movies like BvS, with 30% and then Civil War, or Wonder Woman, and turns out they are all the same formulaic, soulless, exclusively money-minded shallow drivel with overpaid, mostly awful, actors in badly designed costumes.
Aaron Carter
The post you were replying to did. I thought you were responding to that since the main 'criticism' is that DC heros dont smile while stopping evil but Marvel do'
Jonathan Miller
Not really. There eis a reason for everyone saying "it's so good that it looks like a Marvel film".
This was an actual headline in my country.
Chase Robinson
It's made by people who actually like and respect Wonder Woman like the people who make Marvel movies.
Jaxon Murphy
Oh. Uh. Whoops.
I was trying to reply to the OP
Ayden Stewart
Don't worry, Marvel's smile like stupid idiots and DC's are depressed teenagers. None of them are good versions of anything. The only hope is to see both the MCU and DCEU crash, burn, and have actual competent directors and actors working in them. And stop basing themselves on comics unless they want to start retelling them. Stories made for one medium can not be succesfully moved to another one.
Liam Taylor
>Oh. Uh. Whoops. Fuck off reddit.
Jose Scott
>still being a cuck lier
Johns rewrotte everything on set (in the same way that Affleck rewrotte all of Batman's scenes on set during BvS) and they retconed a good chunk of Snyder's shit, like "losing faith in humanity".
Get fucked fanboy.
Cooper Collins
This follow classic Marvel formula (that is older and pretty common on most actionplies anyway) and has more quips.
So yeah...like that.
Jonathan Barnes
>mousedrones >DCfriends Sup Forums, please, can you, for once, not sound like a feminized pussy who grew up in Ned Flanders' home? What's next, calling each other "meanie poopyheads"?
Christopher Lewis
They learn that review sites are full.of liberal radical feminist
And they hate dude bro movies
Noah Long
Sorry, I realize admitting a mistake is a faux pas around here and I should have just spat more bile.
Oh crap! I did it again!
Elijah Wood
All superhero movies look like big budget TV shows, except Nolan's, too bad cinematography is the only decent thing about the Dark Knight trilogy.
Liam Hughes
Batsoup and Man of Murder weren't dudebro movies. Or at least that wasn't the problem with them. The problem is they were grim and depressing with a washed out color pallet.
Alexander Price
Thats not hope, thats delusion.
Colton Thompson
True, we all know good superhero movies will never come out, and that both DC and Marvel will only scrumble and clunkily put together cheap looking movies for the next 10 or 20 years, not releasing a decent movie in all that time.
Anthony Torres
Can someone please clarify what you mean by "look like a big budget TV show" for those of us who didn't go to film school?
Luis Scott
Poor cinematography and camerawork. If you are not into that, the only times you'll find something is bad is due to overuse of shaky cam.
Anthony Cruz
because they don't understand who actually writes the story, what's the level of studio involvment into directors actuall direction or what does director actually do.
Benjamin Ortiz
Keep using nice (((actress))), remember goyim only care about boobs and basic history...also remember "my feminism", make shekeles rain!
Jackson Torres
>wanting people to be offensive for the sake of being offensive Shut up niggerfaggot
Jackson Foster
He's a fucking neckbeard fighting over comic brands, he's already trying to be "agressive", but since he's a fucking feminized pussy it only comes out as laughable. Then again, I don't expect anyone but manchildren to fanboy over superhero brands.
Gavin Diaz
Snyder was also the dumb fuck in charge of the universe, until Johns showed up as a challenger and to Rebirth that shit.
William Lewis
This thread is shill central
Colton Green
Well, yes but one could argue how much of control did he actually have over that universe while WB pulled of shit like with suicide squad that really ruined (granted, not very good from the begining probably) movies to the ground. It's quite easy to pick a target to blame for all DC shittierity.
Isaiah Robinson
Remove Snyder from directing and you can have a decent movie. I'm really thinking BvS failed because of him, it has everything to be great and he fucked up.
Carson Evans
So you like capitalism until something you don't like makes dosh, yes?
Aiden Thompson
whats the matter? nigger cuck gonna cry? :'(
Mason Thomas
Ah, that makes sense. I can see how people who like movies as art pieces rather than movies as a story might not like the Marvel movies. They are very basic with the way shots are made, there's a lot of "just point the camera at some dudes while they talk".
I've always liked TV better than movies. I guess this is part of why. I find artistic shots distracting and would much rather be able to focus on what people are saying.
Daniel Cook
Nope, fuck you. You can't blame it all on Goyer when it's Snyder going on interviews and saying dumb shit like "Batman getting raped in prison is always the kind of story I wanted to see."(paraphrased).
Also look at the shit he wanted in WW that Patty told him to fuck off with. Snyder has huge influence on the "muh grim mature tones" bullshit plaguing the DCU.
Ryan Foster
I feel like Marvel does that to make their movies feel more grounded on the real world.
John Green
>What can DC learn from this?
Not hire Snyder?
Hunter Thompson
Text should read:
Can't believe I'm carrying you two assholes, your 10 times more popular than I am. What the fuck happened?
Adam Mitchell
Superhero movies don't do that simply to save costs. You either hire a decent director, or you hire a cinematographer, and it seems neither wants to do that, just keep pumping out movies as fast as possible.
Lincoln Hill
lol, that's my point. It's misguided to blame EVERYTHING on one person, blame is shared between the director, writer, producers, artistic leads and the studio executives.
Nathan Peterson
Well, why ever they're doing it, I appreciate how much easier it is to tell wtf is going on.
Oliver Young
This.
Also many, a lot of the shit on the movies is HIS idea,while everybody tells him that it is stupid.
Like killing Zod to make Superman have his "no kill rule for villains", when it is never mentioned on BvS that he has one, and is never mentioned before on MOS that he had something against it.
Jaxon Morales
what did he wanted for WW exactly?
Ian Carter
>Diana will never carry you to bed make tenderly but forceful love with you. KMS.
Adam Sanders
>What the fuck happened? DC finally decided to do like Marvel and bribe reviewers?
Gabriel Lewis
BUT I COULD
Adam Perry
FPBP
Tyler Allen
WW ends up depressed and loses faith in humanity, and goes back to her island.
Joseph Peterson
Checked for truth.
Evan Long
Bravo Nolan
Christopher Lopez
lAre you actually serious? You have some kind of source for that? Makes you wonder what kind of twists he puts on his bedtime stories and why his daughter offed herself...
Carter Williams
my previous posts for context. It's not that I try to defend Snyder, I fucking hate his movies with exeption of Watchmen and few scenes from man of steel. It's just that I think it's mostly DC and WB that's to blame for trying to force stuff that they are not ready for instead of doing their own thing. Again, look at suicide squad and what happened when they tried to be "funny". Snyder's shit and should stick to glorified commercials but that's WB fault that they didn't tell him to fuck off after man of steel.
Michael Miller
>And Snow White got raped by the dwarfs the end. Kiss on forehead. Turns lights off and walks out of the bedroom.
Jayden Myers
It's what Diana says on BvS, but this contradicts what she says and shows on WW, also some reports say that they changed a lot of things after the reception of BvS, including making Johns rewritte things on set.
Jordan Taylor
Reboot while keeping the same actors and using WW as the first movie.
William Morgan
This.
300 is a dudebro movie, MoS is like a fucking Lifetime drama.
Dominic Cox
According to the leaks that got everything right, it was planed to end with Diana basically abandoning humanity after saving everyone. No build up or anything, just Gal dot narrating something like "them I lost hope in humanity and shit", just for her to say that Superman made her care for humans again.
Hunter White
There would have been no time though. Stop believing stupid rumors.
Leo Morris
>Lifetime drama. If you ask me, I'd say that it always felt like a juvenile anime trying to he deep and edgy.
Picture Naruto meets Death Note, with Sasuke as Superman.
Pure shit.
Brayden Cox
Might as well ask here since this is basically a DCEU thread: Anyone else not looking forward to the Black Adam movie? Dont get me wrong, love Dwayne, Teth Adam is a great character, but I kept help but feel focusing an entire movie on him is kind of dumb and that we should just go right into Shazam. Hell Id be ok with a Superman/Shazam movie.
Andrew Hernandez
Stop making up bulshit to justify your fanboy mindset, cancerous tripfag. This is hella old news, from the beggining of the year.
Jack Nguyen
Is but a hundred tickets if we got Supergirl, Black Canary, Birds of Prey movies.
Blake Hernandez
>best cape movie of the decade
Uh, does anybody really think that? I get that it got good reviews and all, but does anybody here really think it was the best one in 7 years?
Evan Young
>sudden narration containing conclusion with no relation to the plot
sounds fucking amazing
Elijah Ward
Maybe, but on the other hand Black Adams backstory is pretty great and could easily fill the whole movie.
Connor Diaz
>What do you hope DC will take away from this success? Focus on more solos instead of forcing teamups. If MCU has SPACE then the DCEU can do more mystic and mythology shit, actual gods. Don't do something stupid like giving WW characters their own spin-offs.
Oliver Scott
True, but its one of those things that could easily be fleshed out in a Shazam movie with flashbacks instead of devoting 2 hours for a solo. Already expecting Scorpion King jokes now
Juan Cook
Warner has a bad habit of learning the wrong thing.
Most likely instead of learning from Wonder Woman that audiences actually like non-cringe dialog, something other than weird yellow skies, and dark dark super grimdark dark grimness everywhere, they will probably just learn that Audiences want to see more women kicking soldiers in the buts and then double down on the grimdark hazy yellow skies some more.
Dylan Anderson
>focus on making your heroes likable and human instead of morally gray and brooding >more humor >less focus on the villain >literally Thor mashed together with The First Avenger
Noah Morgan
Just shamelessly steal from Captain America's movie more
Juan Cox
80's references everywhere and Diana beats Ares in a dance off.
Then they cram 70s music in there for no fucking reason why she quips some to ants and Trevor is replaced with a black guy in the third act.
Elijah Kelly
>Picture Naruto meets Death Note, with Sasuke as Superman. Oh dear, that does sound like the worst. And I like Death Note! It's like Swiss cheese, bitter, tasty, and full of holes.
Joseph Perry
I don't really want another superhero movie that focuses on the villian over the hero and uses flashbacks as plot device instead of actually showing the story that it's supposed to tell. It's really hard enought to tell a single, coherent story with one protagonist and I don't trust WB to competently do flashbacks and stuff. It really doesn't work for them when they overcomplicate things.
Joshua James
Just make a movie. Don't worry about trends, don't just throw things at the wall and see what sticks, don't try to keep one tone in every movie. Just make a movie that's actually about the character and story you're doing.
