Like Kang being in the quantum realm this whole time etc. Will be interesting to see where it goes. There could be a variant of kang in the quantum realm i suppose, he was trapped there by his timelines avengers or whatever and ant man accidentally releases him (obviously not knowing who he is) into our timeline, Wonder if we'll see some form of the f4 in ant man 3, richards and pym were very good teammates in the comics iirc, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I liked the first suicide squad much more than any recent (post dark knight) DC movie. It’s a low bar, but it at least had a bit of pace, where the others tend towards ponderous and humour, where the others tend towards po faced. Jared Leto’s Joker, and the “plot” were the obvious weak points. I didn’t like it enough to watch it again or recommend it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I thought the last Harley Quinn film was quite enjoyable, never gonna win an Oscar but fun enough. Suicide Squad was just about tolerable but that still makes it easily better than Batman vs Superman, Justice League, Aquaman or Wonder Woman 1984. Shazam and the first Wonder Woman weren't bad. Man of Steel was just bland, can hardly remember a thing about it. Generally, though, a "good" DC film is still worse than an average Marvel one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have Aquaman above the others in that wee section you have, in that it was at least cheesy shite that didn't seem to take itself too seriously unlike the others. Considering how much good material there is in the DC comics, it's amazing how often they manage to completely f**k it. The DC Animated Universe is infinitely better than the live action one, even with the bizarre additions and changes to stuff like The Killing Joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) I don't think I've seen any of them. Quite liked the sound of one set in an alternative reality where baby Superman lands in the USSR instead of Kansas and grows up as a Communist superhero and weapon but Amazon wanted me to pay to watch it so couldn't be arsed.

Actually, most DC films are a steaming pile of shite.I think I could count on one hand those I would say are very good.Agree regards Shazam and Wonder Woman - but then looking at Gal Gadot makes up for any disappointment that Justice League or WW 1984 may bring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Son. Really good comic, and the film version isn't bad. Mark Millar wrote it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorongil Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I have some alone time for a week so am catching up on MCU. Have seen all the movies now up to but not including Black Widow. Struggled with WandaVision but will go back to it. Half way through Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Looking forward to Loki. Not every film is great or even good, but most are at least good and they seem to learn from their mistakes creatively when they do make them. The whole thing is an immense creative endeavour and I’m enjoying it greatly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark is a bit of a fanny unfortunately and I find a lot of his work and adaptations of his work to be a bit shallow. Jupiter’s Legacy seems to be a Netflix turkey and his ego won’t like that one bit, but even the comic felt a bit lacking and derivative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiviLion Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 The multiverse is going to make the infinity saga look like nothing. Loved the Disney+ series, really looking forward to the next lot of films. Planning to see Black Widow at some point next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only watched the second to give it a chance to improve. Will not watch any more. Angsty shite, like Eastenders with capes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC have made so many mistakes that they'll be playing catch up for a long time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Scarlett Johansson suing Disney for breach of contract/loss of earnings as they promised that "Black Widow" would have a cinema release before streaming. You can probably rule her out of appearing in any future films, then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
