Well, I don't see it as an adventure even with the individual characters you named and their journeys or character progression.

Lol, GOT is anything but adventure.

I beg to differ. There were numerous adventures involving Arya, Dany, The hound, Jon Snow, Davos, Brienne, and others.

Even the video game was marketed with a 'Choose-Your-Own-Adventure' tagline.

What genre would you put The Cabin in the woods and Doctor Strange 2?

The Cabin in the Woods is a blend of 3 subgenre in one film, namely... Supernatural, Sci-fi and comedy.

Doctor Strange 2... Superhero, Supernatural, Action.

Yeah that's the hobbit.
This particular ring of power series is an adaptation from The lord of the ring.
That's why i was specific about the lord of the rings. Because both the Lord of the rings and the ring of power is similar in nature as it has to do with the rings.know many fans of the lord of the rings haven't even seen the hobbit.

The Rings of Power TV show is a prequel to The Hobbit trilogy and The Lord of the Rings trilogy

But you know, it's kind of unfair to totally say the ring of power is shiiit because of the views, likes and shares the both series got on Twitter.
The reason i feel so is that the game of thrones is always going to have more fans because the last season was just 2019. That's just 3 years ago, so it's a very successful recent series with world wide fan base.
You can't compare it to the lord of the rings that had their last film in 2003.
Bro this is 2003, we are talking of 18 years ago. For what it is, i will say the ring of power has even tried when it comes to how well the series has gathered online discussions all over the world.

Correction: The last film in the Lord of the Rings franchise was The Battle of the Five Armies (2014).

It might be worse in Q3 when HBOMax and Amazon Prime Video drops House of The Dragon and LOTR: The Ring of Power.

Au contraire, mon ami. According to projections, Netflix will gain a million subscribers in the third quarter.

Losing a million subscribers in the second quarter is a silver lining given that they were projected to lose 2 million.

The title is somewhat misleading.

Lol. I don't buy this idea that bots control the conversation cos I'm not an onlooker when it comes to the Snyder Cultists. I've had engagements with many of them on Twitter and FB so I definitely know what I'm saying. I can easily point out their coordinators to you and I'll categorically say they're not bots but annoying humans with lots of time and dedication.
The bots while they add to the hype, for me they don't control the narrative.

You have no idea what you're talking about, lol.

Only a minority actually comments and stirs up discussions on social media, and a subset of this vocal minority is enough to create a debate where none exists. I've seen several accounts of seemingly normal responses that turned out to be bot accounts.

It's well known that bots influence discussions. I'm surprised you're even arguing against this. Where were you when Russian bots successfully influenced the 2016 US presidential election?


abduleez1:

While I agree that ZSJL couldn't match recent DC releases and the expected wave of viewership, it only just highlights the fanbase as not as BIG. Even at that it's still easily top 5 HBOMax movies for the franchise since it's launch. It's only behind recent DC movies and Mortal Kombat & GvK.

In terms of MOS and ZSJL you are just being bias. Supes movie was good, even if you had a problem with its portrayal of Superman, you'd give it a 5/10. ZSJL was brilliant no cap. It's his singular best DC movie. The Whedon version remains a worthless piece of shite. It's only surpassed by 2016's Suicide Squad.

I also hate his original plan of killing Robin (Di©k Grayson) as well as making Bruce make out with Lois Lane to produce the future Superman, but I won't discredit his work.

Let's just agree to disagree. It's pointless to argue with someone who thinks ZSJL is a masterpiece. Lol.

abduleez1:


Lol, bro at this point you're capping. grin grin It's clear you hate the man.

Granted the Snyderverse has more than twice the amount of bots on normal fan campaigns but that percentage is about 13% of the total fan campaign. So, 87% of the fanbase online campaign are still from REAL people.
This has already been addressed in an earlier post. This tiny subset of bots may be a tiny fraction of the total audience, but it controls the conversation.

abduleez1:

True Snyder weaponized his fandom to drag down ppl he had issues with during JL movie and it was slightly below projections on HBOMax. Just shows the fandom tho loudmouthed ain't as big as everyone thought and still struggled against other DC big movies ie WW84 & TSS.
No, it shows that the majority of the online buzz was generated by bots. Isn't it obvious? When the numbers don't match the hype, you know something isn't right. The first week of ZSJL's HBO Max viewership was only 2.2 million. TSS, on the other hand, had 2.8 million viewers in its first three days despite being released in theaters. Hell, The Batman had 4.1 million viewers in its first week on HBO Max after being available for over a month.


abduleez1:

Snyder movies might have issues especially to the general audience but MOS was good as well as ZSJL which was dope, even tho BVS was wack. His movies might have slightly underperformed in the BO but dude ain't entirely a bad director as you painting him to be. His actions may be malic
The man is a fraud. His MoS is terrible, and his ZSJL is just a longer and more boring version of the original. He has no real love for the characters as they are, only for how he wants them to be. His original plan for the Justice League trilogy is an abomination.

It goes thus;
Bruce and Lois apparently bond over Superman's death and fvck. By the second film, she is pregnant, but she keeps it from Bruce, and Darkseid appears and kills her, turning Superman into a villain. The Flash travels in time to tell Bruce that the child is his, so he ends up saving Lois and dying. In the end, Lois's son becomes Batman.

Thank goodness this heinous assassination of beloved characters never transpired.

The claim that Josstice League was better received than all Snyder's DCEU movies and that ZSJL was terrible is just doing me somehow. People that weren't even DC fans or CBM fans were praising ZSJL even on this thread so I don't get.

You mean the same people that panned MoM even though it's a good film? Lol.

The fact remains Justice League is a bad film from top to bottom because Snyder has a fundamental misunderstanding of all the characters, and a fundamental misunderstanding of what people can relate to.

13% of the hashtags were from bots bruh, 13% grin
You need to relax...it's just like WizKid, what's the special thing that he is doing that's making him generate the amount of devout fans that he has? don't hate on someone's Grace and tag them as frauds when they did nothing wrong or fraudulent.
Is the fanbase toxic? Yes
But I don't know how you want him to be able to control that

This demonstrates that you have no idea what you're talking about. Lemme show you how bots push agendas.

Bots typically account for approximately 5-10% of the total audience. This tiny percentage has complete control over the conversation. They are the ones who are doing most of the talking. At any given time, these bots are the ones who are posting and responding to everything. To an unsuspecting reader, this tiny but vocal percentage is a legitimate representation of what the audience truly want, and so they unwittingly treat it as such.

Now apply this problem to this shitshow, and maybe you'll understand why I can't figure out why Snyder still has people defending him. Whichever way you look at it, Snyder is a fraud.

I'm at a loss for words as to what could possibly inspire such unwavering devotion among his fans. It's not like he's an auteur or anything close to world-class. He can do no wrong in the eyes of you lot.

Honestly... I can't relate. I don't hero worship anyone or go to bat for them, especially when the evidence is overwhelmingly against them.

Zack is a fraud who uses paid bots to generate support for his projects and has purposefully cultivated a toxic fanbase to keep critics at bay. That's the truth, you can either get with the program or keep your head buried in the sand.

Snyder made a string of bad movies, including for DC.

WB wanted their version of Avengers 1, which was one of the biggest movies ever, and inexplicably gives it to Snyder even though all of his movies have underperformed.

Snyder copies basic plot of Avengers 1 movie and “Snyders” it up into a crapfest.

Delivers his early cuts to the studio and everyone is horrified.

WB drags out firing of Snyder until they are able to secure the actual Avengers 1 writer-director, Whedon, to fix Snyder’s bad copy of Whedon’s movie, but gives Whedon no time or resources to accomplish said goal.

Whedon makes several suggestions and requests for major changes to the movie, which WB ignores and declines.

Reshoots are a disaster, everyone hates each other and Whedon clashes with entire cast.

All of this is done while Synder family undergoes tragedy, which is then used as the public excuse as to why Snyder doesn’t finish film.

Final movie is condensed version of Snyder’s cut with a few more jokes thrown in.

Whedon is unhappy with it and refuses to have his name associated with it or do press for it and refuses to work with WB anymore on Batgirl.

Movie underwhelms at box office but is still better received than Snyder’s prior movies. Whedon gets all the blame for box office underperformance.

Snyder then campaigns for 3 years to release his version and weaponizes social media to take down the people who fired him and took over his movie. He specifically wants Whedon and the two main Justice League producers to go down in flames.

WB, under new leadership, is now owned by HBOMax who are desperate for content for their new streaming service. They believe Snyder has a massive fanbase that will sign up for HBOMax to watch his cut of the film. They approve releasing it and give Snyder an additional $70M to complete it.

Justice League actors who had roles cut or altered during the reshoots speak out against Whedon for being abusive as they campaign for Snyder’s version to be released.

Ray Fisher leads the charge and goes on campaign on social media accusing everyone involved in the theatrical cut of the movie of abuse, but media only pays attention to Joss Whedon accusations, which leads to 3 more actors coming forward to say Whedon was a jerk to them. Fisher never actually gives details of the abuse he claims to have suffered and changes his accusations frequently.

Fisher eventually makes some specific accusations against Whedon in an interview for Forbes that are later retracted for being false, and the Forbes writer is fired for printing them.

Everyone now hates Whedon and his career goes down in flames.

Snyder then releases his original copy of Whedon’s Avengers 1, with several newly shot additional scenes incoherently tacked on onto HBOMax.

Snyder version of movie is still terrible and underwhelms on streaming. HBOMax doesn’t get as many views as they thought they would.

Rolling Stone article says many of Snyder’s online “fans” are paid bots that he employed to drum up publicity in order for him to get rehired by WB to make more of his bad DC movies, and to amplify negative stories about the people who took over his movie.

Timeline of the whole saga...

I don't think so. Joss has a questionable record and Gal doesn't seem like one to lie about things like that. As for Fisher, well Joss could have truly been racist. Dude has the profile of a douch. My main problem with Fisher is lying and trying to smear Walter Hamada who wasn't even aware or at the top of WB, neither was he related in the JL project in anyway. Also, continuously whining on social media and crying anytime something big about DC is about to drop. Dude is beginning to sound like a broken record.

I don't really care about Joss, Jon Berg or even Geoff Johns especially. They can go fvvk off.
Sending death threats to Ann Sarnoff, Adam Wingard and James Gunn is just the height of toxicity. Well Kilar is to be blamed for greenliting the project. WB executives surely are still pissed by that singular decision and doesn't matter whether the main head honchos are out after Zaslav clean up.
It'll be interesting how Fisher moves on with his career.

It was though. There's no denying that some of the accusations were justified, but the man got more than he deserved.

Yes.

Whedon is far from a saint. The man is a total jerk, but some of the allegations made against him by Snyder and Fisher were false.

Fvvk NL cleared out my writing... angry undecided


Well, finished the article and it seems if true Snyder truly engineered everything from the onset.
It's the toxicity of the fanbase that makes me wish and hope the Snyderverse stays dead so everyone can move on. It's a bad marriage for all parties and I wish Snyder a successful career over at Netflix. He should just let go.

Studios are watching and no one will allow any fandom to bully them into submission in the next few years.

Hears a counter article from Paul Tassi...


For those interested in the articles...

[/url]

This Tassi's piece reminds me of the time when a Forbes journalist and Fisher conspired to publish a hit piece on Whedon, but they later retracted the article because it was false, and the Forbes journalist who wrote the article was fired as a result.

So I'm having trouble digesting anything this Tassi of a guy says in his article. If you fool me once, shame on you; if you fool me twice, shame on me.

It's Rolling fvcking Stone. They don't publish bullshit articles.

It is an exposé. Months of rigorous investigative journalism are required to compile all relevant tidbits, followed by hours in front of a computer monitor to simplify them into readable content. Articles like this have won Pulitzer Prizes.

So, yeah, I wholeheartedly believe in the article's credibility.

I don't hold the belief for Snyder being a fraud as he was slighted by the studio. It's natural for him using his influence to work in his favour a bit especially as he's passionate about the project.
Where I blame Snyder is his incapability or will I say unwillingness to control his fanbase.

Will drop my final opinion later on.

You seem to have missed the part where Snyder threatened executives and crafted the entire thing by hiring an ad agency. It's hard to at least not entertain the possibility that Snyder was the mastermind behind the entire movement, manipulating it to fight his personal battles every step of the way.

The article is pretty straightforward.

Some of us has been saying this for a long time but peeps won't agree due to attachment for the director.

Just saw some bits of the article and shït is damning especially to that annoying Ray Fisher. I always perceived that dude as a fraud. Heading over to properly read and digest the article.
We've been called anti Snyder, WB fan or @sslicker cos of seeing through that dude's bullshit.

After reading the entire article, it's one of the most disturbing things I've ever read about how someone can manipulate and weaponize the internet to get his way while simultaneously destroying others.

The most shocking implication is that Snyder and Ray Fisher planned and coordinated Fisher's social media crusade against Whedon and Co, of which only the one against Whedon was successful.

Zack Snyder is a certified fraud for real.
