Jasonteague:
Yeah that's the one. Superman has a weakness and the batman used it against him simple as that. kriptonians are vulnerable to kriptonite and magic
Unpopular opinion:

Kryptonians like Superman are very much over hyped.

Kryptonite, magic, telepathy (mind control) can weaken them.
Even Aquaman's golden trident can kill Superman or at least make him bleed.... It's a magical weapon after all.

I think Shazam has fewer weak points than Superman.

But Doctor Manhattan is the certified G.O.A.T in DC comics even though he doesn't get as much hype as the Man of Steel.

"DCEU is just getting started" I can't wait for my captain marvel to crash shazam to pieces. And avengers endgame to put tears and acceptance on DC fans faces.
Spiderman will kill joker movie so where is the hope for DC in 2019huh
Instead of having sleepless nights over Shazam, why not pray that Captain Marvel meets expectations.

They are already making excuses for a film that will release almost 2 months before Endgame.
So that in case the movie fails to meet expectations they will say "I told you so".

Meanwhile no one at WB is complaining over Shazam even though it releases same month as Endgame.

hulk616:
jealous are what?? DCEU first undeserved 1B dollars compared to marvel 6 movies
Marvel 6 - 1 DC.
I don't understand the logic behind this, that someone is jealous about another person's failurehuh
The first MCU movie to make $1b was the 6th one... Avengers.

The first DCEU movie to crack $1b was the 6th one... Aquaman.

Financially DCEU is tracking better than MCU.
First 6 movies made $4.8b, that is $1b more than what MCU first 6 movies earned.

They say DCEU is dying, DCEU is a failure.
They said reboot or cancel everything and start afresh.

I say the flaws in DCEU are way too exaggerated and blown out of proportion.

DCEU is just getting started.
Haters should prepare for more tears and gnashing of teeth.

Aquaman the so called wet Thor ( according to MCU trolls ) has surpassed TDKR to become the highest grossing DC movie ever.

3 Thor films and none of them ever made $1b.

Let that sink in.

I expect more painment and gnashing of teeth from MCU trolls.

4/10




The 4 sef issa struggle...


Very underwhelming.... The action scenes were decent, but they were too few... Waay too few, minus those the rest of the the movie was basically garbage... Epic bore fest... Found myself fast forwarding almost all through the movie... Epic disappointment
How can someone hate Bumblebee shocked

It's a very good movie, the best Transformers movie yet.
It is not action packed like the previous ones but it had heart and substance....two things other Transformers movies lacked, Bumblebee delivered effortlessly.
That is what makes it the best movie in that franchise.

Big CGI fights, explosion and heavy metal action is useless without heart and substance.
That is why other Transformers movies are crap.
Bumblebee focused on more important things not just action.

I hate to say this, but I prefer Snyder's vision of the suit. Saw it on screenrant today.
Are serious. huh
That thing is too dark and dull embarassed

The one James Wan used is much vibrant.
TV/Movies › Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by BlackManta(m): 2:44pm On Jan 25, 2019
I heard that Zack Snyder wanted Aquaman to wear his classic costume in Justice League but James Wan convinced him not to..

Thank you Wan, you saved us from a disaster.

The earlier concept art for Aquaman classic costume is disgusting angry

TV/Movies › Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by BlackManta(m): 2:39pm On Jan 25, 2019
This is what Zack Snyder wanted Aquaman classic costume to look like. embarassed
As usual dark, dull, gritty. embarassed

The Avengers though were many are the the main protagonists(emphasis on the s) while Thanos was the antagonist.

Marvel can call him the protagonist in the movie, but it is up for argument.

To me Thanos was never the central character of Infinity war, it was the Avengers. And it showed n the way they all came together, even the ones in hiding. But they were so many many that most of the avengers were reduced to side kicks.

I mentioned this after i finished watching it, most of these avengers are powerful but marvel useless them in this movie, they were so dull and stupid in the fights and their decisions.
I have been asking myself if I'm the only one that noticed it.
Everybody seems to overlook it under the guise that Thanos is too powerful bla bla bla..
Avengers were to made to act stupidly so that Thanos could win.

Let me outline some of the stupid things they did.

1. Heimdal, Thor's friend tried to save one person by teleporting him away.
- He didn't save Thor...his friend.
- He didn't save Loki.
- He didn't save the Space Stone, teleport the stone instead of hulk, the stone would land in Doctor Strange base and Thanos victory will be delayed.
No No No...

Heimdal didn't think about these things.
Heimdal stupidly saved Hulk, a stranger he met the previous day during the event of Ragnarok.

Why Hulk, a common stranger.

Why not Thor your own longtime friend huh

This is stupid.

2. Stupid Gamora knows that she has something that Thanos wants.
The best to do in this situation is to stay as far away from Thanos as possible....STAY AWAY.
Even if Thanos eventually finds her, at least make it a little bit hard for him, delay his victory by being smart.

But what did Gamora do.
She stupidly went straight to Thanos instead of staying away,.
Thanos captures her and kills her to get the stone.
Gamora made the job easy for him....STUPIDLY.

Some folks would make excuses like, Gamora went to Knowhere to retrieve the reality stone before Thanos gets there.
But why go to the exact same place Thanos is going to when you know you have something he wants.

The best plan is... STAY AWAY.

But Gamora is stupid.


3. The development of Vision is also really, really bad. In Age of Ultron he is strong enough to wield Thor's hammer but in Infinity War, he has developed and updated to the point that he never wins a single fight against anyone because it fits the plot.

4. No one has explained to me how Thor teleported to Wakanda.
How did he know there is trouble in Wakanda. huh
Who told him. huh
No one in Wakanda contacted him and he doesnt know Thanos would be there.
Did anyone ever tell Thor that Wakanda existed..NO.
So how did he find it and how did he know to go there. huh
I guess the writers just wanna move the plot forward so let's just go with it.

5. Starlord lost his mind and went crazy to hasten Thanos victory cuz it fits the plot so let's just go with it. undecided

6. Thanos is a slowpoke.
Wiping out half of all life in the universe including plants and animal life which constitute the major resources for food is stupid.
Plants and animals resources he cut in half was not even enough in the first place to cater for the populace which is why he halved all life.
So if you are wiping out half of population and also half of plant and animal resources which is not even enough in the first place.
How did you achieve balance. huh
At the end of the day population still outweighs food resources.....still no balance undecided

7. Hulk is big green pussy because it fits the plot.

Let me stop here.

I'm tired embarassed

Forget about SaviTar that told Ihate9jerians he doesn't know what Best Picture is huh Isn't it obvious SaviTar is the Prof here?

Sir your bias is beginning to show, couldn't you have made it a bit less obvioushuh
So we are never gonna know what Best Picture means on this thread.
Forget it.
Maybe I'm just gonna take the question to quora or reddit.

Sir, this question shouldn't be directed at me but rather to OmniProf who stated the below
Forget about Savitar and just tell us what Best Picture means.

Why is it so hard huh

Almighty SaviTar says Obviously from the above he is denoting he knows more than The Oscar's. So Why should anyone take such a person with such mental capacity serious?

Please sir can you explain what Best Picture means.?

Patiently waiting for Bohemian Rhapsody and A Star is Born to clear those awards but don't worry, I won't rub it in your face when BP losses
Even Roma is more deserving of best picture than BP.
TV/Movies › Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by BlackManta(m): 7:14pm On Jan 22, 2019
MJBOLT:
keep consoling yourself,BP recently won a critics choice award
Golden Globes which is much bigger than critics choice awards snubbed BP in every category it got nominated.

Academy will serve more L's to that overrated film.

The only award it will get is best costume and nothing more.

Academy has pandered to the blacks, PC's and SJW's using nomination but no more favouritism from now on.

Golden Globes did the same.

If you like accuse me of being racist.

Barely one month after release and Bumblebee HDrip is out on Fz. shocked

Someone should please download it and confirm if it's really HD.
I don't want to waste data.

Shazam's relationship with Superman is one of the highlights of his early years as a superhero.

I'll be shocked if WB does not explore this in future Shazam or DC films.

I'll be shell shocked.

In the comic books, Shazam was still struggling and Superman played the role of a guide and a mentor.

These images were sourced from Superman/Shazam First Thunder...a 2006 four issue comic book mini-series.

Where is this image from? Definitely not the new trailer as the new trailer is expected on Tuesday.

This movie will shock a lot of people and make good money
The image is from a sneak peek to the upcoming trailer.

Btw the little humor I saw in the sneak peek made me smile.

WB picked someone that can act instead of a guy with big muscles to play Shazam.
This movie needed more top notch acting from the lead roles than muscle and Zachary Levi is killing it.

AHCB:
my top ten? Well... you also missed batman and Robin and also justice League vs teen titans and justice League Judas contract.

I just might drop my own top ten DC animated movies. But I seriously can't type epistles now. May be later.

By the way, where did you get this popular opinion from?
Batman vs Robin you mean...
Cuz Batman and Robin is a 1997 movie and Batman vs Robin was miles better than that.
JL vs TT was very entertaining but it lacked depth, at least 7 out of 10 films on that list offered more than just action.
Flashpoint was emotional.
Red Hood scrutinised Batman's moral compass.
TDK returns 1 and 2 were vey serious and explored dark themes.
Doom was focused on the issue of trust.
JL gods and monsters explored a dark, brutal side of an alternate JL.
All these films tend to provoke your thoughts a little bit, it draws you in and relates with characters with serious issues you find in the real world.

JL vs TT and Judas Contract were just action flicks and popcorn films.
It shouldn't be anywhere near top 10.(personal opinion)

And I'm saying this as someone who saw both films this year.
I saw Red Hood 7 years ago...!!!

About popular opinion, I combined word of the mouth from Reddit, Imdb, audience reviews.
I weighed each film and came up with the list.

Only 20% of that list came from my personal POV.
TV/Movies › Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by BlackManta(m): 9:45pm On Jan 20, 2019
AHCB:
popular opinion base on who and who? I honestly feel justice League: dark should be on your list of so called popular opinion, but looks like it's missing.
Justice League Dark would have been there but then I would have to extend the list.

The only film that JLD can replace in that list is War but apart from that this list is very solid and popular opinion attest to at least 80% of it.

Name your top ten.

If 1-5 and 7 is not there, I will drop my cap and run out of this thread cheesy
TV/Movies › Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by BlackManta(m): 9:29pm On Jan 20, 2019
mekaprime:
Nice list, but if I may ask, what's your criteria for listing these 10 animated movies as DC top ten animated movies ever made?? This ratings of yours, is it subjective or objectivehuh
It is subjective but most people would not have a top ten list of DC animated films without mentioning 1-7 in no particular order.

So the list is not just my opinion but popular opinion too.


1-5 especially were really the best ever made.
The overwhelming rave reviews attest to this.
TV/Movies › Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by BlackManta(m): 8:02pm On Jan 20, 2019
I'm hyped up for this movie cheesy

KoiceReloaded:
There is probably no top Hollywood director more inconsistent than M. Night Shyamalan. He's practically Mr. Hit or miss... you never know what you're gonna get. There are directors that you can always count on to churn out hits after hits, for instance, Chris Nolan, and this mexican guy that directed The Revenant - can't recall his name right now - have movies that are always on point. Alas, M. f**king Night Shyamalan isn't one of these consistently good directors. His notorious inconsistencies have stunted him career-wise.

So disappointed with Glass. I expected him to f**k it up, heck, I even expressed my doubts in a brief post, last year.



... it hurts that my doubts have become a reality.


I don't know how someone that is capable of near perfect masterpieces like Unbreakable and The Sixth Sense, could create a dumpster fire like Glass?? Well done, Shyamalan, way to ruin a good trilogy.

5/10, btw. Nonsense film.
Shyamalan is one of those directors that disappoints when you expect to him to do a good job.

I will never forgive that bastard for what he did to Last Airbender angry

I grew up watching Aang and his friends but Shyamalan disgraced the memorable cartoon with a horrible movie angry

Glass bad reviews doesn't surprise me one bit.

I fücking hate Shyamalan angry

The Top 10 DC Animated Films Ever Made.

10. Justice League War
Action packed and interesting. I recommend this one for the newbies.

9. Throne Of Atlantis
If you've seen this one, you've already seen 20% of the new Aquaman movie.
Although in this one Aquaman had help and his half brother King Orm actually killed their mother to take the throne and the trident...!!!

8. Batman vs Robin
This one is a bit like Under the Red Hood but here Damian Wayne is the person still battling with Batman's no-kill rule.
This film explores serious themes just like Red Hood did.

7. Justice League: Gods and Monsters.
Set in an alternate reality where Superman is the son of Zod instead of Jor-El and the JL is much more brutal.
This animated film is emotional, action packed and a must-see for every DC fan.

6. Batman: Assault on Arkham.
Someone on this thread said he watched Assault on Arkham to console himself after watching the shitfest Suicide Squad movie of 2016 cheesy
I wouldn't blame him cuz this animated film is everything the Suicide Squad movie should have been.
It was thrilling, satisfying, funny, the twist and turns were well executed and it keeps you at the edge of your seat from start to finish.
I love every bit of it.


5. Justice League Doom.
Concerned that his fellow league members might go rogue , Batman documents all their weaknesses in a contingency plan than can neutralize his league teammates.
The plan was so good that a group of villains stole it and used it against the league.
This animated film will make you realize what a smart-ass Batman can be. He is the most powerful league member even though he is the only one among them without special abilities.

4. The Dark Knight returns part 1
A 55 year old Bruce Wayne comes out of retirement to become Batman again and fight his old nemesis in a Gotham city that has sunken deeper into lawlessness.
The Dark Knight returns part 1 is dark, captivating and intense.

3. The Dark Knight returns part 2
Part 1 was good but part 2 was great. I haven't seen many Batman animations and this just makes you want to watch more.
The plot is great and dark, the way it should be. There is plenty of action (shooting, fighting, chases). Two epic battles, just non stop action, bloody action as well.
This animated film felt like a 2 hour movie and honestly it is one of the best Batman films in history.




2. Justice League :The Flashpoint Paradox
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox" is a near-perfect adaptation of the critically acclaimed story arc that ushered in the reboot of the DC Universe.
It had relatable complex heroes with tragic past and cynical attitudes, the action was frenzy and the writing was great, deep and emotional too.
Flashpoint Paradox is definitely one of the best DC animated films you will ever see.

1. Batman Under the Red Hood
After getting killed by Joker, former Robin Jason Todd is ressurected and he returns to Gotham as Red Hood. A brutal vigilante and antihero with no regard for the moral code Batman taught him. Red Hood tries push Batman to break his no-kill rule and eliminate the joker but will he?
Batman Under the Red Hood is dark, serious, epic, intense with well defined emotional underpinnings.
Arguably the best DC animated film ever made.

dc can't do without their two top stars, sup and bat.

Its Laughable whenever they want to make they sup guy weak, because its always ridiculous.
The days of Superman and Batman are numbered.
Ever since Aquaman made over $1b, Warner Bros will be interested in bringing B and C list characters to light.

B and C list characters are the future of superhero cinema.

Marvel was on fire then. Even DC fans can't deny this.
Good old days
On fire then huh
What happened to NOW huh

Where are these Marvel animations today undecided

When DC drops dope animations every year, you still dey brag with X-men evolution of 2000-2003 undecided

That was whooping 16 years ago shocked
But apparently y'all Marveltards have no choice but to dwell on past glory cuz DC owns the animation department now. cheesy

I have watched Red Hood many times and I can vouch for it.

Under The Red Hood was a flawless masterpiece and it deserves it's 100%.

It doesn't matter if it was reviewed by 7 or 100 critics.
The cartoon was simply flawless.

Please. Go and check rotten tomatoes. Only 7 critics reviewed Under the Red Hood, whereas Spider-Verse has 300+ reviews and still counting. Spider-Verse's 97% is far more impressive than Under The Red Hood's 100%.
You haven't watched Under the Red Hood, have you?

She as her yansh flat like ironing board. Terrible and disgusting to see. This brie Larson no try at all.

And BTW why does spiderman looks gay with that pose? I know marvel intends to make spiderman gay but I never knew it would be so soon.
A girl told me that there is this exercise women do that makes the yansh increase a little in size.
Brie Larson should have tried this exercise...at least after 6 months of workout her yansh should improve and look like Black Widow's own.

Although Black Widow's gear is tight and it brings out the shape of her yansh or else we won't see anything at all cheesy
