Okay na,
But do you think Demon slayer is overrated?

marsman:
Well, we all have our opinions.
Do you think demon slayer is not an awesome show?
Jujutsu is nice, but it is not great. It does not give that chills, like other top animes i have seen.

marsman:
I don't know, i don't think it is.

marsman:
Thank you, the way my cousin was over rating the Anime, Óne would think, it is the new Demon slayer.

Zeemuthafuka:
Make Una rest he didn't compare anything

pekkaan13:

A very mediocre movie..
The movie was supposedly set in the 80s but there were barely any 80s music in it which i found strange.
And after all the hype on cheetah, I found her underwhelming infact she barely had much screentime as cheetah.
Weak plot,
Action was Zero
And the final battle was nothing to write home about,
Just like WW2017 final act that was also average, only this WW84 was way worse.
The only good about the movie was the set and designing, costumes also.
Gal Gaddot is stunningly beautiful so she was the reason i gave the movie a 5.5/10.

webhead:
kinda.

why?

webhead:
No it's not. Google it.

shocking, I know, but it's true.

webhead:
is this officially stated?

I have not found any Kevin Feige interview pertaining to this.

@kaycee7

you are capable of nothing at all, donwizzy atleast did something by forcing the people's eyes open to an obvious truth...and while folks like Coolusername & Moonmasamune and others are busying themselves looking for good & satisfactory solutions..all you can and are ever only able to do is.........Mockery: a common trait of folks who evade truths and reality to avoid facing pressing issues that require the delicate brainwork of searching for, researching into and consequently providing appropriate solutions for all concerned. But you are not capable of all these, I suppose!

Kaycee7

There are folks here who can the mockery better than you can..but they are keeping quiet for reasons best known to themselves and instead channeling their strengths to looking for and offering suitable solutions to the ongoing problems. But you aren't capable of that, I suppose!

oyaskii:
This wasn't a review or "take"? Well i took it as a review. I think we are at an impasse here. It's a classic case of agree to disagree.

alieneletronics:
pot calling kettle black! SNITCH!!!!

oyaskii:
A really long read but good constructive criticism points. However let me attempt to address some, i have written them chronologically to match yours.

1) The setting of it been 80's has a chronological importance and i think it was perfect. Remember the first part was set in 1918, it began with Diana seeing a picture in Paris in modern times making her reflect on a past ( going back to when Steven Trevor plane crashed at Themiscyra in 1918). So both WW (2017) and WW#84 are still origin stories somewhat, so they couldn't just jump a whole century to 2000's.

2)The "Themiscyra Amazon Olympics" scene was ok too and been an "origin" movie, it was okay to visit her roots in the first few scenes of the movie and quite frankly it was the best scene shot cinematography wise in the entire movie.

3) The Camp mall fight was outrightly wack there's no way to even look at it. I think Patty Jenkins was riding on the euphoria of the first movie, which if you rewatch, you will discover it's just an okay movie, nothing exceptional.

4) To me, i am still struggling to find the point of Chris Pine in WW84, what purpose did it serve? the movie could quite go on without him without this added drama of "Rapist wonder woman".

5) I think the "Dreamstone" is of the most stupid subplot in a major superhero movie in a very long while. Couldn't get the hang of it. It worked out in the comics doesn't mean it will work in live action, the writing for this was abysmal.

6) I would like to absolve my man Mando from this debacle of the character "Max Lord" . The writing for it's character was shambolic and frankly in essence lead no where great. Patty Jenkins should have left Cheetah as the one and only Villain and it would have turned out fine.

7) Of course when the movie has been a shii show for over 2hrs 30 mins, you should expect a horrible ending and it didn't disappoint.

Who the hell cast Kristen Wiig for villanous and serious role as the Cheetah? This woman is a comedienne and haven't seen her in anything other than that. It was the first thing i was angry about when i first saw the trailer.

The golden armour was literally in all the promotional photos only for it to appear for 5 seconds.

All this been said, i liked the movie for its aesthetics, there was a reason Pattt Jenkins was pushing for a 4K release on HBO max, the shots where truly breathtaking and the score was quality.

They even had the nerve to even add a post credit scene...

alieneletronics:
getting annoyed already...now it is clear that you ARE the SNITCH that 'ratted' out donwizzy 'cause of your cowardice and conflictingly diminishing ego. What a shame! Constanting trying to evade truths and real issues by mockery of other people. Keep on sulking with your low self-esteem and your hentai!!!!!

oyaskii:
Really? I could write an essay on this, but clearly nothing more i can say that would sway your views and it's very okay.

alieneletronics:
you know it is a shame that you're deliberately turning blind eye to the truth and to more relevant pressing issues in the thread!

alieneletronics:
is he the moderator?


Dont you find it weird that it had to take donwizzy7's craziness to open folk's eyes to the truth and some decency in this thread??

oyaskii:
The problem is larger than the "weak fight scene". A decent writing and screenplay would have covered all this but Patty Jenkins can't write to save her life.

oyaskii:
Yeah, a handful of redditors defended the movie but those bashing it were more and that is saying something.. hypothetically speaking if 100 people saw the movie, 80 said it was terrible, and 20 said it was decent, what will be the general conclusion?

At the bolded. I know you gave a review on here about it pages ago, but i have forgotten your verdict, so i ask for all intent and purpose, what's your genuine take on #WW84? One of the best superhero movie you have seen? Decent enough to recommend to someone off the top of your head? I would really like to know.

webhead:
assuming all the rumors about the multiverse being in spider Man 3 is accurate, then I think that marvel will connect both their "universes".

Wanda could burst open the multiverse after learning that her sitcom life was fake.

then Murdock alongside millions of people (Deadpool is a possibility) suddenly find themselves in another universe--- the mcu one.

just mere speculation.

cool photo by the way.

oyaskii:
I have tried to look at it different ways and everytime i come to conclusion #WW84 was a hot mess and the ratings unilateral agree, even on popular forums like Reddit, it is a general conclusion that it was terrible, it's only here i keep seeing praise for it...well different strokes for different folks i guess.

Beorn:
Mehn, Jenkins went from 100 to 30 in WW84. The prequel was cool, I won't lie, not even the unspectacular final fight ruined it, but this WW84? Nah, e no follow at all for me. It started off well with the whole Themyscira tournament but after that, the movie tanked greatly. The final fight held so much promise with the whole slow build up, but what came next had me SMH in a is-that-all moment.

She shouldn't come back for the next movie abeg. They'd recruit a director that can give such a franchise befitting action scenes.

mansakhalifa:
Unfortunately, you cannot compare what I like watching to what they like watching.

One is reality. The other is chappy, badly-written fiction.

alieneletronics:
donwizzy7 was banned not me, dude. Some1 reported..no doubt..and it was you, baka-sama...I know!

alieneletronics:
Baka-Sama....shey na you report donwizzy7 codedly, right? You convuluted mo...ron.....he was effective I should say...'cause the place was quiet. A fool reported..and blind mo..ron moderator banned!

alieneletronics:
Seems donwizzy7 was effective...that's why a fool reported him...and a mo...ron banned him. Blind gorrillas! You no see all the hentai going on here before!

Activist001:
Ok, I will have to agree that they're stereotypes, but that doesn't mean men see things like Zeeworld that many women watch as "dumb". Most of us (including many women) don't just like the obsession most of them have with it.

mansakhalifa:
So, naturally I don't post a lot on Nairaland.

But this time, you see, I need help. I need answers. Mostly from the esteemed community of the "fairer sex" .

Please can someone explain to me what the blooming obsession/craze with these lame Indian shows on Zeeworld[or any other station] is all about

I am trying to watch the news here, but my cousin has been holding on to the damned remote control device.

I have asked her why these drowsy programmes always get her raved up but the silly girl has her dreamy face way too locked on to the screen to give a reasonable answer and I am surely gonna lose my cool any moment from now.

But... before then... I seek answers from kind and well-meaning Zeeworld aficionados and ladies out there.

What is this Bolly-whatever obsession about- really?! Honest answers please.

Thanks in anticipation of your prompt responses to my little question.

And, oh, never mind my rants. I am just a bit riled up at the moment. These programmes bore me. More like... stink!

Awaiting your kind responses.

- Yours puzzled,
Mansakhalifa

P.S. *And let's not even talk about their accents*

DandeNumeruno:
Let's not kid ourselves, WW84 is a very flawed cinematic representation... but I don't overthink Superhero movies. I know they're within the boundaries of fantasy and thus, would be farcical to rationalize them in accordance with real life scenerios. Basically, I shut off my brain and tries to appreciate them for what they are. In a similar vein, I was able to appreciate WW84 for its pros, and ignore the cons.
