Kaycee7:I am more excited for Nicolas Hoult. Not sure of Rachel Brosnahan. I get this innocent feel on her which isn't something I don't picture of a Lois Lane. I don't want another damsel in distress Lois Lane. More of the Erica Durance and Bitsie Tulloch Lois Lane will be appreciated. |

SMUAG:True but bro, a lot of films have managed to flesh out characters while driving the plot. In the DCEU we really didn't get invested in the characters. So character focus isn't just for TV shows. I get that tv shows have a soft landing compared to films but the DCEU had a lot of flaws. I still don't understand what you mean by Henry was lame (as Superman) in MoS.. I guess you judging from the angle of Christopher Reeve's Superman, because from what I have come to know their are 100s of version or alteration of Superman out there and I don't think many of us have read up to 20 different versions for us to completely say he was lame in MoS... I think somebody answered this same question on MoS being lame/bad perfectly on Quora site and even gave the actual version that Henry Cavill's Superman was actually portraying. Maybe if I get hold of that excerpt (again) I will paste it here...Yea, true. I agree but a charismatic actor would have done better in MOS. I love Cavill as Supes and admit the writing wasn't that impressive but Cavill couldn't get us to connect with Clark or Superman. He was great in JL as he got more comfortable in the role. 1 Like |

SMUAG:The problem with the DCEU then was that it was too plot driven. It wasn't the dark tone or light tone. That was the misconception. It didn't have character moments that weren't reliant on just moving the plot but getting audiences to actually care about the characters. I didn't feel the love between Lois and Clark, we didn't even get to know Clark or Lex or Batman. Why Wonder Woman was liked was cause it had these moments. Same with the first Aquaman film. Look at The Boys for example, that show is dark and people love it. Cause it's character driven. Same with Gen V. Now, the mistake WB made was trying to make the Franchise like Marvel rather than correct the narrative style. Now, we have to agree that Zack Snyder's weakness is, he isn't good at fleshing a story that surrounds around characters. He is more of the aesthetic and action director. He is not strong on story. That was what killed BvS and MOS. And to be fair, Henry Cavill was lame in MOS. He got better in BvS. Or maybe it was the direction. His Clark and Superman were just robots. He barely had facial expressions to contribute to his performance. A lot of problems with the DCEU and WB was the chief architect of it. They should have had better script writers and not had Snyder build the universe. I feel they could have had a writer or two to carve out the plan and work it with directors who will then bring their own styles into the films. 1 Like |

SMUAG:Then again, I don't think WB hired the right man to build a Cinematic universe. |

SMUAG:Lol. Maybe some of us are tired of superhero films and its enthusiasm. Or perhaps no longer logging in to Nairaland. For me, it's a bit of the two. Superhero stuff no longer excite me like before. I'm more into comedy, drama and romance flicks now sort of. And WB didn't help matters. For the James Gunn universe, give it a few projects before the superhero fatigue catches up to it. 1 Like |

TheMaterialist:Superman Returns did that. But lots of people had issues with it. I get your point but listen you can't have a Superman film without having action. There has to be a balance. Superman fighting world hunger would take Nolan kind of writing to work. And I repeat, you need action in a Superman film. You don't need villains, true but you need a convincing story and spectacle. |

TheMaterialist:It won't work. They tried something like that with a Quest for peace, and it tanked. It will be boring and what villain symbolizes the theme? What works for comics might not work on TV. |

TheMaterialist:Lol, I also saw the videos some days back. I agree with the guy lol. It's pretty simple to write OP superheroes and make them interesting. Ditch the plot structure and make it more of a character piece. Don't write their villains as evil but antagonist that serve as a symbol of what personal demon they're fighting within themselves. Or make their villains more powerful or with more advantage. Writing Flash is easy. It takes intelligence and applying science fiction to logic. Also make his supporting cast interesting. |

abduleez1:It was in the JL animated series. He wasn't a villain however but I believe just angry at how he was transformed or something. I have forgotten. But thinking of it, he isn't even connected to Superman. |

Now, I have no problems with Hawkgirl, Mister Terrific and Guy Gardner being in a Superman movie, but seriously, do we really need to know that right now? Again, WB and James Gunn failing at maximizing the critical ingredient of 'hype', mystery. They could have just announced the actors in unspecified roles and allowed the media to debate about it for months then in March of next year, start releasing snippets of their characters on social media before releasing the trailer. How is that hard? Now, you will very much have the media and reddit accounts trying to figure out the story, patch things up with the any footage that gets leaked and ruin the fun and surprise for everyone. You will find out that before we get close to the release of the film, we've already figured out what the whole thing is all about. James Gunn, we really don't need to know things about Superman Legacy this early. Come on. That's what ruined BvS aside the bad cut. We literally knew what was going to happen in the film which wouldn't have happened if Gal Gadot wasn't revealed as playing Wonder Woman or some certain things were kept from the trailer. Leave the hype and spectacle for the cinema. Promote the film as a Superman and Lois film first and foremost. Not build up hype very early then allow audiences to raise their expectations only to have it underwhelming with little surprises left in the film. 1 Like |

BlackManta:I always pictured Matt Damon as Guy Gardner though. But hey, news flash. The reason for recasting Cavill is basically to get cheaper casts. Part of the whole reboot was about money. Getting the likes of Cavill, Affleck, Gadot, Amy Adams etc now costs big bucks especially when the BO isn't forthcoming. Hence to beat cost, they want to maximize profit to make sure a huge chunk of the production budget doesn't go to paying the cast. That's why contracts weren't renewed. And the performance of the other films didn't instill hope of a massive profit. Right now, WBD are reportedly eager to start making profit. |

100naira:Lol. Very funny. At this stage, it's best to let the films sell themselves. I mean, no promotion will guarantee a film's progress in cinemas just as the Flash has proven. |

abduleez1:It all depends on the films turning profit ASAP. Zaslav is not charitable. If the films keep on losing interest, them go pull the plug. Besides, I don't think you realize there's already a superhero fatigue creeping up. Just think of it in 2 angles not just the angle that after 2 films without profit, Zaslav won't start looking for alternatives. And please, if you want to use derogatory words, use it plainly, which one is Mr. Investor? Abi na cause I dey follow yarn? |
TV/Movies / Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Minemrys: 11:09am On Jul 07, 2023 |
abduleez1:Bros,I don't even know why the back and forth. That I mentioned product placement doesn't mean all the investors in films are advertising products or interested in the BO. There are a lot of investors in films, some minor and some major. Advertisers are also investors but it depends on what the agreement is on. I don't know why you are centered on advertisers lol. Production companies are also part of investors. Take for example public liability companies where salary earners have shares in them, of course what they get might be little or different to what main shareholders get when the investment turns profit. Film business involves a lot of people in the financial category and in different angles. Not just the studio heads. |

abduleez1:Then why we come dey argue? |
TV/Movies / Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Minemrys: 7:38pm On Jul 06, 2023 |
abduleez1:Studios don't spend investors money on films that end up making losses. Or investors don't invest in franchises that end up not guarantying profit.That's why films that don't do well often times don't get sequels. Of course the studios can convince them otherwise and may still get them to keep investing but bros when the losses keep getting consistent, they will pull it off. It's business. Just because Zaslav has taken some risks doesn't mean if the DC products start incurring losses that nothing will be done. I am not talking about underperforming but outright flops. Like the Flash for instance. And of course the critical acclaim will also factor. Go read through films that critically got planned and ended up incurring losses, they never got sequels. Studios don't finance movie projects on their lonesome, they gather investors from various places. That's why most times you see product placement of certain brands in films like having characters use a specific laptop, gadget or drink or whatever show up in scenes. It's subliminal advertising. Watch the end credits and you will see those who put money in film projects distributed by Studios. I am surprised we are having this conversation sef. |

abduleez1:Bro, studio films are funded by investors. This isn't rocket science, man. How am I supposed to tell you who their investors are? Do I work with Hollywood? Come on, WB is a public liability company with shareholders and investors, same as other studios. Zaslav's discovery owns majority shares but doesn't mean he is sole proprietor. |
