Is there any hypercrisis to the DC films? (Not just the film universe, just all or any)

MoS min 52: Superman learns to fly.
BvS min 52: Batman finds the Omega Symbol.

No idea about SS and WW.

That's it? Fuck, that's sad.
What about all the MUH KINO threads and analysis when BVS was released?

Dr Manhattan is Henry Allen and the DCEU Flash has blue lightning

BvS was about the gradual descent into darkness that his movies have had, culminating with an extreme Batman that took things too far, with the justification being that his friendship with Superman is an essential part of his character. Batman suffering all the important events (eg death of Robin) without being backed up by Superman's comfort causes Batman to go insane. Superman brings Batman back into the light in the movie, thus causing live action Batman to be lighter.

BvS was also the opposite of Watchmen in that the most powerful character chooses to altruistically serve humanity, despite being under no obligation to, instead of abandoning the earth.

I'm sure there are others but these are the two that I immediately think of. I should really watch BvS again.

Anons convincing themselves that they could put lipstick on an actual pig and turn it into porn star Gianna Michaels.

That's actually not bad
BVS controversial line in the sand is never going away. Sup Forums still busts a nut to that movie

Oh I forgot the most obvious one: it was also the opposite of Miller's TDKR. Batman is the bad guy and Superman makes him a hero again. Funnily enough, I was able to see his intention of "taking TDKR Superman and make him the opposite" and was surprised when he said the exact thing in an interview. Snyder basically has the same feelings of TDKR that I have: it has some good moments but the characters are written improperly for the most part. I enjoyed BvS because it was kind of like a counter argument to people who unironically think TDKR was the best portrayal of Batman or best comic ever. Don't know if that counts as "Hypercrisis" though.

The autistic denial screams from the shitposters who fooled themselves to think BVS was a modern masterpiece was a fucking glorious thing to watch

I mean, it works. We just need a nice dash of Morrison meme magic

MoS had a lot of birthing imagery, and a lot of emphasis on mothers, or women in general if you also take Lois into account.
BvS obviously plays even more with this with the whole Martha thing, as well as the introduction of Wonder Woman.
I bring this up because the DCU, as has been discussed before, is alive and gendered female. Obvious things like the Ultramenstruum, the Bleed, and the Cosmic Womb account for the DCU's gender. Plus, during Avengers/JLA, Marvel's Eternity was getting it on with DC's cosmos, which was also gendered female. There's a hypercrisis screencap about how the DCU is organic, the Marvel Universe is much more mechanical in nature. Hickman's Fantastic Four and Avengers runs can attest to that. "The Machine is Broken" and all that shit. And while mechanical vs organic aren't perfect allegories for masculinity vs femininity, they do seem to work out that way in this situation.

This also works out when you start comparing it to the MCU as well. Of course, the first MCU movie is called Iron Man, which is about a man who creates a machine so powerful it not only saves his life, but redeems his soul. The imagery of Tony Stark banging away at his crude prototype helmet is definitely very masculine. MoS, by comparison, has a lot more feminine imagery like I mentioned before, such as the birthing scenes, the emphasis on mother figures, and more imagery that's peppered throughout the movie. The movie is quite literally about the literal and metaphorical birth of the prototypical superhero. I'm not making qualitative judgements here on whether or not Iron Man's "masculinity" was better than Man of Steel's "femininity", just pointing out certain patterns of imagery.

Shit man, that was good.
Even the DCEU is feminine. I think this thread might be going somewhere

>I think this thread might be going somewhere
Yeah.

Thanks dude

The other thing I sort of glossed over is that the MCU, like the mainline Marvel Universe, is also a lot more mechanical in nature. It's planned, it's efficient, it is for the most part fairly consistent. There's a timeline with a very set end goal in mind.
Meanwhile, the DCEU, as much as I love it, is also kind of a fucking mess. It's chaotic, it feels like its totally unplanned at times. and to me that feels more "organic", in the sense that it's painful and confusing. But I could very easily be reaching on this one.

Shit dude can I blow your cock? You're just so fucking cool

>Sup Forums still busts a nut to that movie

I bust a nut to furry porn. Who gives a shit about anyone's masturbatory habits around here?

The movies are awesome one way or another

Wonder Woman? Sure. The other DCEU films? Not even fucking close.

Get your crusty ass unwashed mouth away from my dick, you escapist whore.

Nah, all of them are great
WW isn't even the best one by a long shot

Yes. Yes, it is. It is the best-structured, best-written, best-acted, best-scored film of the DCEU.

Not really, it is a pretty generic hero's journey, even if well executed

The best writing still gos to Dawn of Justice, and the best score (as well as the most fun in general) goes to Suicide Squad

>BvS min 52: Batman finds the Omega Symbol
Is that the theatrical or extended edition?

>best scored
nice try

>it is a pretty generic hero's journey, even if well executed

Which is why it is the best film of the four. It did basic things right that none of the other films managed to do - things like having a classically structured plot, making its protagonists likeable, and refusing the "this is what our 2020 film schedule looks like" filler that serves no useful purpose to the story.

Yeah, it kinda falls apart in the third act, but the third act of "Wonder Woman" holds up a shitload better than the third acts of "Man of Steel" and "Suicide Squad", not to mention the...whatever act that was that ended "Dawn of Justice". And besides, the vast majority of superhero films fall apart in the third act - hi there, basically every Marvel movie besides "Iron Man" and maybe the first "Avengers" - because filmmakers these days tend to forget that a fight is not a conflict, but a way of solving a conflict.

As for that "best writing" bit: An antagonist who expresses three differing motivations for being an evil bastard is not a well-written villain, sorry to ruin your day. (Before you say "Joker in 'Dark Knight'": He told people differing backstories and goals, not differing motivations.) A story where one of the settings is so superfluous to the story that it could be cut out entirely without affecting the film as a whole - e.g., The Daily Planet - is a badly-written story.

You can dredge up all the supposed symbolism you want in defense. Go ahead; I have read it all before. But "Dawn of Justice" will remain a horribly-written pile of radioactive goat waste regardless. You can put a dress on a tree, but the tree will not magically become a barely-18 blonde porn starlet because you wish hard enough.

>classically structured plot

you mean lazy and unoriginal?

Marvel recycled the basic plot - and protagonist characterization - from "Iron Man" at least twice already. If Marvel can get lazy, why can't DC?

How are your square wheels rolling?

cause DC is better than that

No. No, it is not.

smooth, thanks for asking

>being in this much denial

Does this count?

No company is better than reaching for the lowest common denominator. You think Warner Bros. is above that? Disney? Fucking Nintendo, king of the recycled franchise? You have to be out of your fucking mind to think DC cannot ever be lazy and unoriginal.

This. Reminds me of the people who wanted Cena for Shazam. I couldn't think of a lower pleb "idea" than that

The fuck is a hypercrisis?

lmao at that comparison
