Logan was amazing and Deadpool was so much fun,

Tl;dr - 'Fox' can only make a good film when the only input they have is the bag of money to make the film happen.

Let's not be mistaken here, Deadpool only happened because of the 'leaked' content, and Reynolds & co. being handed the keys to the castle by FOX to make what they had to make, and also be allowed an R-Rated film rather than be forced to appease to FOX's PG-13 mentality.

With Deadpool success, it allowed Mangold/Jackman to push for that same creative control and R-Rating for the filming of Logan. And the rest is history.

As a whole, FOX bungles their franchises because they're meddling too much in the product and are too busy pushing certain visions rather than letting the actors, directors, and producers in doing their work.

Spiderman was a success because of the deal they struck with Marvel, and creatively letting go of the franchise and letting the professionals do their work rather than micro-manage everything. And it has come out as a great film, hopefully Sony opens their eyes at seeing how it should go, and doesn't revert back into their former state of trying to meddle again.

Huh.

"Exploding wind-up penguins"...Wait, is Batman Returns cannon in the DCEU now?

[lanky316]

LEGO Batman movie said it's all canon, ALL of it and as far as I'm concerned that's the definitive version.

Why do all the DC movie trailers remind me of Hardee's/Carl's Jr ads?

Wait, who's the villain here? The design says Ares but the Parademons point to Darkseid.

It's Steppenwolf, Darkseid's son.

Steppenwolf is Darkseid's uncle, actually.

He is? I really thought he was his son. Who are his sons, then? Only Orion and Kalibak?

Thanks, New Gods stuff isn't my strong suit, so I got mixed up. Still, the villain in JL is Steppenwolf, I just got his relationship with Darkseid wrong

I thought Steppenwolf wrote Born To Be Wild and Magic Carpet Ride?

Brolin as Cable
 

 

[apsham]

That is pretty badass.

I dunno, feels a bit cosplayish for my taste. Will reserve judgement cause some look a lot better in motion (see TDK Joker).

Something about it is throwing me off too. I think it's the hair, I don't like the hairstyle.

[angeluzcr]

To me is the shirt and the metal arm (not what I imagine), also the hair not being entirely silver...

Oh jeez, I didn't even notice he's got every alt-right douche ever's Nazi youth haircut.

[JasonM]

I guess i'll hold the unpopular opinion of 'I think it's p. alright'.

I do hope they fuck off with the permanent eye-thing and make it something he turns off/on whenever he needs to look like Sauron. I don't like it in the comics, i'll probably don't like it in a film either.

[apsham]

I like that the latest episode of Preacher has allowed me to type the phrase.

Seven minute Jesus sex scene.

I LOVE the new VA for Harley. I liked it in the trailer but wasn't 100% with it until I saw this bit today. It's different than Arleen and Tara but it fits. I hope they can get her for more stuff after this.

Also, I hate that I haven't watched this thing yet. WWE doing a PPV nearly every week has fucked with my Movie Sunday.
