Disney is getting closer and closer to a monopoly

Those ******** got all of the railroads!

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Oh boy what we just needed. More MCU humor and formula.

Can't wait!

And thus the Roman Empire movie equivalent continues to grow if what I'm hearing is true.

Are you ****ing kidding me DC's finally getting good movies again and Disney's gonna ****ing buy them and make all their **** the safest movies around with no way to differentiate them in terms of humour, formula or action?

I ****ing hate these assholes they already have 40% of the film industry

LMAO the irony of this post. Its okay for you guys to say this but not me?

Nobody criticized you for criticizing the MCU, people criticized you for constantly going "Oh but that other movie which is completely unrelated is PEE PEE POO POO BAD AWFUL UH OH STINKY". The comparison here was fitting considering the situation, being about Disney and DC, unlike Godzilla and Captain Marvel, or Godzilla and A Quiet Place, etc

You really think the majority of parents think before they buy?

Oh yes, the cover is horrifying if you stop to look at it, but what's displayed BIG and BOLD for all to see? "Batman", and considering most parents probably grew up with the old Batman, they're not going to stop and think "Maybe this is ****ed up."

Yes, Parents don't think before they buy, why do you think we've lived through several "Dae think video games are satan?" inquisitions.

Being uneducated is not an excuse. And parents need to stop acting like it is. THINK before you buy something for your kid! Do some basic googling with that fancy computer in your pocket! Don’t blame the content for existing, it’s your bloody fault for being a ****ty parent!

You'd save yourselves the headaches if you actually looked into who the source is and the sort of **** the site the article is from frequently posts.

That would mean people would have to hold themselves accountable.

That's blatant Shazam erasure and I will not stand for it.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

The rumour I saw is that AT&T/Warner are looking at licensing out the comic rights to Disney/Marvel, not that Disney is buying the brand/subsidiary outright. It wouldn't really make sense for WB to sell DC because it's one of their very few notable franchises, and aside from the comics the brand is still doing well.

Exactly. People are only reading provocative headlines and freaking out before educating themselves. I am so sick and tired of us just allowing people to be stupid.

Trust me. I know how that feels. But using stupidity as an excuse for your own actions is not a valid reason. That kind of thinking is why 2016 happened. So let’s start curing the problem from the bottom and working our way up by having parents actually ****ing educate themselves before they buy something for their kids.

I'm gonna rank the DCEU films I've seen since we're discussing it (I have not seen Shazam or Birds of Prey, I regret to inform. They both sound like fun.) WARNING: I'm not a fan of many of these films.

1. Man of Steel- It was alright. Nothing really stood out to me about it, but it was well-enough made to keep me interested half the time.

2. Wonder Woman- Started with promise but to be honest I don't remember much about it. The characters in it aren't engaging to me for the most part, but it does have positives: I did enjoy the toilet swirly scene, and Diana's backstory is pretty neat. There are other scenes that I really enjoyed, but overall imo this movie is... eh, ok.

3. Aquaman- Started out with a lot of promise concerning Aquaman's backstory, but then fell into obscurity. The main issue I have with this movie is that it's too dang long. There are many parts that could've been cut from production. Not a fan of this one.

4. Batman v Superman- If they were going to build a proper cinematic universe, the company should've gone for a Batman origin story, THEN release this movie. And, the reason why I say this is because despite everyone and their mother knowing the origins of Batman/Bruce Wayne, having an Affleck Batman film within the DCEU would've made the franchise flow better as a whole. But, they didn't go for a slow build here... the DCEU aimed for a quick buck.

5. Suicide Squad- Aged poorly. Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn is FANTASTIC, and Deadshot and El Diablo are fun characters as well. But, the other cast members... to be honest, the cast is too large. Similar to Justice League, if they wanted the audience to enjoy each character to the fullest, they should've had other films lead up to an ensemble film so that the audience can thoroughly enjoy the cast. But, this didn't happen. The story telling is also incredibly disjointed and is some of the weirdest writing I've ever seen.

6. Justice League- I HATE THIS MOVIE. A lot, actually. It's one of my most disliked films of all time. This was released even before Aquaman's stand-alone film, so character development for him feels disjointed. Batman acts strange in this film and the cast as a whole is significantly hard to like. It gives a grand picture of all the issues I have with the early DCEU films: no proper introduction of characters, care isn't given to building up the world, lore, and landscape of the universe, and the scenes throughout the film are not memorable for the right reasons due to those factors. Not much of anything is memorable in this franchise at all, and if so then it's normally for the wrong reasons.

It's a shame, because to be honest the dark tones of DCEU could've served as a good foil to MCU's overall light-hearted storytelling (at least, for the most part). But, they need to execute it properly if these films are going to be appreciated. Well, with Shazam and Birds of Prey they've landed two hits in a row... hopefully this good track record keeps up and this "phase 2" ends up being far better than phase 1.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Shazam! will always be the best DCEU movie. Looking forward to Black Adam and its sequel.

Also turns out this whole thing is not true.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Heyy, the MMZX Collection is out and I started playing Zero 4, since I already beated Zero 1-3.

And boooooy, after all this time, I definitly lost my MMZ skill and I'm getting my ass kick alot, but that's to be expected. The checkpoints definitly help reducing the frustarting factor of dying when the boss is almost dead.....or because you fall into a pit by mistake. 'hope I be able to come back where I left off quickly.

See in 50 minutes if we get the announcement of an direct otherwise tomorrow is our last chance and Zippo's credibility.

Is it available for streaming on netflix or hulu? If not, elsewhere? I really wanna see it.

1) as we saw last week directs can literally be announced at any time of day.

2) Zippo called the theme of the AC direct and it’s exact date a few weeks back. That’s nothing to take lightly and given his past info if we don’t have a general direct, he really isn’t losing too much credibility as he still has a solid track record.

Haven't seen it on my NetFlix as they tend to vary for people especially country. As for Hulu you'd have to check yourself as I don't use it.

And some actually interesting masters lore, Valerie is from the Johto region originally and apparently friends with Erica

Did some digging. Only way I can watch Shazam is via HBO's streaming service.
And Birds is still in theaters so maybe I'll go see it soon when I have free time...

Just when I thought things were okay I now have to worry about AT&T closing down DC...

 

[Megadoomer]

I'm one of those weirdos who liked most of the DCEU movies. (even Justice League)

I thought Suicide Squad was all right (the villain was lame and poorly-developed, but plenty of movies are guilty of that, and it was a tough task to introduce the general audience to a bunch of B- or C-list villains and set them up as the protagonists), and the only movie that I had a negative stance on was the theatrical version of Batman v. Superman (and even then, it had its moments, and the extended version fixed some of my criticisms)

 

[Wario Bros.]

Does AT&T own Warner Bros. or something because I thought WB owns DC Comics?

 

[Megadoomer]

Does AT&T own Warner Bros. or something because I thought WB owns DC Comics?

Going by Wikipedia, it's the parent company of WarnerMedia, which includes Warner Bros. and DC.

 

[Shadowwolflink]

They're not going to "close down" DC, don't be ridiculous. They're upset about how the comics have been floundering and they're looking at ways to make them more appealing. It's still a profitable brand in other media.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

So she's the kimono girl with Sylveon as her partner? Neat.

The rumor goes that they are just closing down the comics division.

The IP's themselves and the movies and shows with them will be fine.

The cartoons were always the best part of DC anyway fite me.

It's not even that, they're talking about bringing in Hollywood writers to reinvigorate the comics before anything else, as far as I know there has been no talk whatsoever of closing anything down.

I liked Man of Steel just for its awful and edgy writing.

"The fact that you have morals and we do not gives us an evolutionary advantage. And has history shows, evolution always wins."

But yeah, unless you're Wonder Woman or Shazam, I didn't like you.

Wasn't that a quote from one of the villains? (if that was even in the movie at all - I can't recall that line, but it's been a while) That's like using a quote from Voldemort to claim that the Harry Potter novels are corrupting children.

I mean, I can also talk about how Superman's dad was like "How dare you save a bus full of children from drowning" or how he doesn't let Clark save people from a tornado and then proceeds to die because of it.

That's how you destroy someone with FACTS AND LOGIC, kids.

Nevermind that cooperation is an evolutionary advantage and a certain amount of established morals helps to keep a community together.

Megadoomer was right. It was a villain's quote, but it sounded so ****ing stupid and alien even my dad ended up memeing it.

Yes I know she is a literal alien, but not my point.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

I do find it funny that older gens are wondering why our (ie, millenial and gen z) humor is so wierd, and yet
These are the same gens that had Spongebob, Chowder, Flapjack, Regular Show, FoP, and the like. It's kinda not our fault.

I have watched shows from the 80s to the 2020s, yet I can accept most of their humors...what matters is that the show is actually good

I don't see an age rating here:

And regardless, they're better safe than sorry. It's already a niche market, the last thing they want are Karens mad that the funny man in tights book isn't the Gold/Silver age anymore.

ah...good times with that Joker...lead to Harley becoming more of a hero and Barbara regained movement in all of her body

It wouldn't really make sense for WB to sell DC because it's one of their very few notable franchises, and aside from the comics the brand is still doing well.

even if DC Comics were to be sold to Disney, I doubt Warner Bros would have a say in it (like how Marvel didn’t have a say in James Gunn being fired or Spider-Man dealing with that Disney/Sony divorce...thank you once again drunk Tom Holland)

wonder woman was mediocre and aquaman sucked

Birds of Prey in the corner

Call me stubborn, but I do not like Harley Quinn as a character enough to watch a movie where she's the protagonist.
