What do you really think you r doing..... I don't see you doing such to MCU's thread but, constantly spoiling DCEU's movie before its released date... Any way, ve u guys come across any site telling us how much $ Thor Ragnarok needs to do for it to be profitable? I guess is NO! But just wait n see when JL is a week + to go... |
That's why they have the 'KEYS' to RT....

Kingrapha:Just like Age of Ultron lol. Bro, is very usual and normal for actors/actress to talk good about any director they are working with. the sooner you realise that, the better you understand that it's also known as "Marketing strategies" used by Actors and studios to hype and tease their (any up coming) movie. |
If James Cameron can learn things from Zack's work and can also praised his work, then I don't need any critics approval to determine if his works are good or bad. For me, Zack is definitely occupying 3rd position for the best modern director off all time. James Cameron 1st, Peter Jackson 2nd and Zack 3rd. hate my ranking or not....thats my opinion. I called them "THE TRINITY" Pls wake me when James praises any of MCU's director...lol |
efilimu:Not in the actual literal meaning o. just a slang showing my love for it. |
efilimu:It would have been a perfect one if it wasn't robbed off of its neutrality. Next time try to be more focused on the matter on ground rather than trying to do "comparative analysis". Though I dread your write-up/article, I only gave up when you started forcing MCU (CA:CW) into it. The only MCU movie that is worthy of mention when Oscar is involved is : CA:TWS. So we shouldn't dare mention CA:CA cuz that movie is one of the most overhyped movie in modern days. It is very possible for WW to be nominated, not just for the femine stuff, but because it has the balls to kill a very likable character. And it also told a very compelling story sublime with great chemistry. I repeat, no MCU movie deserves Oscar except CA:TWS. 6.5/10 my rating. |
efilimu:WW doing perfectly ok doesn't make it a very good movie to me. You predicted such because it's feminist-centric and critics would definitely want to go soft on it. we all saw that coming too. Zack remains the only director that can easily uplift page to pages from comic books and present them in a live CBM accurately no other. No wonder James Cameron (if not the best director of all time) praised Zack's work and also said he likes the Virtual Guru movies because he learns things from his style.. That alone shows majority of CBM fans/nerds we have (presently) are people of mid 90s and early 2000s who don't know much of comics. Comic books I grew up with, in mid 80s till 2000s are perfect interpretation of what Zack is putting on screen for us to see. Especially their fights pattern..... |
efilimu:Bro, calm down with this your Zack Snyder this, Zack Snyder that ok. Your hatred towards Zack is probably over clouding your judgement. When guys go full out to praise WW and try to massacre Zack's early DCEU works shows how shortsighted we are. We forget so early that the great casts we are seeing today were mostly cast by Zack himself. Even Jenkins Patty (or whatever) said it herself that "if it were to be her, she wouldn't have hired Gal Gadot to play the role of Wonder Woman". So I think we should keep on appreciating Zack every day for helping us to assemble these great casts. Why blaming Zack for Superman's death? was it him who wrote or co-wrote BvS script... However, to me, BvS: DoJ UE is by far a more coherent and superior movie to almost every movies MCU have out there. For the record, WW is the second most weakest movies DCEU have out there (based on my take). WW really showed me the kind of movies we appreciate lol! Am a core DCEU fan, but when I see a weak one I can really tell. WW is weak, just like SS and by extension, AoU and their likes. But guys like you tend to praise them, why - because critics said they are good lol. |
IF DCEU HAD FRACTURED THEIR TIMELINE THIS WAY, SOCIAL MEDIA WOULD EXPLODE!!! Spider-Man: Homecoming screws up the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline45commentsBut it’s not the first movie to do sobyJulia AlexanderJul 10, 2017, 2:00pm EDTtweetsharepinChuck Zlotnick/Sony PicturesSpider-Man: Homecominguses a major Marvel Cinematic Universe moment to explain when the events ofHomecomingtake place. Upon further investigation, it doesn’t add up.[Warning:The following contains spoilers forSpider-Man: Homecoming.]One of the earliest scenes in the film takes place directly after the destruction New York suffered following the battle that took place inThe Avengers. According to a quick title card that appears in the film,Homecomingtakes place eight years after the events of that battle. We have been led to assume thatThe Avengerstakes place in 2012. This is the understood truth among journalists and fans.The Avengers, likeCaptain America: Civil War,is set in the same year it was released.SinceThe Avengers,most of the movies have actually been set close to the same year they were released in. For example,Civil Wartakes place in 2016. One of the only movies that breaks from that rule isGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,which was released this year but is based just after the events of the firstGuardians of the Galaxy,released in 2014.This is relatively new for the MCU. Most people assumed that the first phase of Marvel Cinematic movies —Iron Man, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2andThe Avengers— all took place in the year they were released. BeforeTheAvengerswas released, however, Marvel issued an official timeline correcting this line of thought.Captain America: The First Avenger, Iron Man 2,The Incredible HulkandThorall took place within the span of a week. It’s referred to as “Nick Fury’s Big Week” and details the Avengers being introduced for the first time. These five movies take place in 2011, whileIron Manhas been retconned to take place in 2010.MarvelPostAvengers, however, everything changed. This is where it gets complicated: IfThe Avengersis set in 2012, as is believed to be true, than eight years after that would be 2020, which meansHomecomingwould be set in 2020.That’s three years from now and, more importantly, introducesHomecomingas a film that takes place after the events ofAvengers: Infinity War.It doesn’t make any sense.To prove it, let’s use some circumstantial evidence.We knowGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2takes place in 2014, thanks to movie’s prologue. The title card says 1980, and then skips forward 34 years. The title card used in the prologue card forGuardians of the Galaxydoes the same thing, jumping forward 26 years from 1988. That puts the setting of both films in 2014.Here’s where the timeline comes into question. In aninterview with CinemaBlend earlier this year,Marvel Studios’ chief, Kevin Feige, confirmed thatInfinity Wartakes place four years after the events ofGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2— setting it in 2018, the same year it will be released. That sets the events ofInfinity War, a movie that hasn’t even happened yet, beforeHomecoming.It’s not logical.It’s also not the first time that Marvel has broken its timeline, either.InCaptain America: Civil War, there’s a moment where the Vision refers to the moment that Tony Stark publicly announced that he was Iron Man; a moment, Vision adds, that took place eight years ago. While that makes sense when looking atIron Man’s release date, it contradicts what Marvelitself previously announced as its timeline.If Tony Stark announced that he was Iron Man eight years beforeCivil War, that would be 2008, not the 2011 date Marvel had given.At this point, bothHomecomingandCivil Warcontradict the timeline that Marvel has given. IfHomecomingtakesplace eight years afterThe Avengers, andIron Mantakes place eight years beforeCivil War, that gives two very different starting points for a few different movies in the MCU, includingIron Man. Simply put, the math doesn’t add up.If anything,Homecomingjust adds to the main issue — Marvel doesn’t know when its movies have been set. Even worse, with the studio changing things on the fly, it messes around the barely comprehensible timeline they’ve provided thus far.For example, we’re led to believe that the events ofHomecomingtake place afew months afterCivil War. But based on the different takes Marvel has given fans, the “eight years” past or later sentiment doesn’t make any sense. IfCivil Wartakes place in 2016, which weknow it does thanks to some calendar shots, thanHomecomingcan’t exist in 2020. Especially when the movie openswith shaky-hand cam footage of Spider-Man inCivil Warbefore diving right intoHomecoming.There’s no other explanation than Marvel making a miscalculation somewhere along the line. Too much retconning, too much fiddling around —and this is what happens.Feige is aware of how complicated and complex timeline things can get, too. He has said on multiple occasions that Marvel doesn’t include direct references to years in its films for this reason.In that same interview with CinemaBlend, Feige said:Yeah, knowing that outside of theGuardiansfranchise, we don't necessarily always date the movies. You don't always know, we don't say, '2012, 2013...' We do in theGuardiansbecause you do the math and 1988, and it's 26 years later. But we never say, 'Oh, this takes place in 2018, this takes place in 2017.' But it was important for the story that James wanted to tell that they're still relatively fresh in their new group.In a more recentinterview with the site, Feige added that they don’t like to think about specific timeline structures,choosing to focus on the larger story instead.I think people like to talk about our long term plans, which we certainly have. But very rarely do those long term plans dictate the specificity of any individual film. It’s usually the opposite. It’s focusing on a story, and focusing on the individual movie that we’re making to do what’s best. And then, if something changes that we weren’t quite expecting down the line because it was made for a better movie, then we deal with it down the line.The problem with this is, as seen by this lengthy piece, plot holes. When Polygon reached out to Marvel for comment on the status of the timeline, we were told by multiple people that the studio didn’t have comment on the specifics, but was looking into it.Hopefully things will be cleared up before theHomecomingsequel — orInfinity War —is released, but don’t expect too much out of Marvel on this issue.More FromPolygon |
TonySpike:I think someone with fair judgement should spend time to go through both trailers and tell us which is more: intriguing, more intense (action), better CGI and overall looks mature! I have (continue) watched both times without number and am still yet to see or convince how Thor: Ragnarok is better than JL. If it's actions, JL Trailer beats Thor3 Trailer hands down. How about Cinematography; "4 dat 1 dem no even dey dsame level.... Maybe when it comes to jokes that's where I can't really give it to JL. despite that, Alfred, Flash and Aquaman are doing great. The Internet is flooded with "children" ever since MCU became a force to be reckoned with. |
TonySpike:Yes for sure. But I don't think she will be that juggernaut (heavy) to make the building shake. I keep on praying that WB shouldn't bring Supergirl to DCEU!!! Let her character remain on that boring CW's supergirl |
Remember the Superman toy at comic-con? His costume colors have been brightened. My money is on Supes, and I don't think WB would want to force any other characters into JL for now. Green Lantern(s) is the only new hero joining them. Moreover, Supergirl steps can't shake that building except from a powerful being who probably is regaining lost strength. That's dragging him/herself. We shouldn't forget that Shazam might be doing some cameo(s) too just to give us a tip of him |
EcoBlitz:I guess the internet is your friend....do the diggings yourself if you doubt me... |
EcoBlitz:then you need to download All Star Superman and see for yourself, bro... |
krizblak:yes. speedsters like Flash have the ability to tap into it doesn't mean "speed force is in infinity form. Ok. what speed does one need to go into it...? I guess the answer is: "I don't know". entering it doesn't mean you are running at infinite speed - It is just the ability Flash(s) possess to enable him connect. To time travel and to enter speed force which of them is faster, if I may ask? can you tell me at what speed it will take for someone to time travelling or tap into speed force? |
krizblak:Flash faster than Superman Prime!!! no way bro. Superman Prime is "omnipresent". he can be anywhere at same time... |
krizblak:yes I know. Tachyon is faster than light speed. go and do more diggings on Superman, then come back to prove me wrong. Just a tip: Superman flew to "Alpha Centuari4" to and fro in less than 20seconds in All Star Superman. |
Bluebrain101:who is Wonder woman to Superman when it comes to speed !!! bro, please stop this joke. Just like what someone mentioned here, Superman is as fast as the the Flash, but him going that fast will cause a catastrophy around him because of he doesn't have "aura", which Flash has..... |
krizblak:stop the exaggeration. flash is faster, but not to the extent that Superman won't see him..... mind you, superman has moved million times the speed of tachyon..... |
I saw WW earlier today and I don't think it deserved all the wonderful praise it's receiving, especially from critics (rotten tomatoes) . Two good things I like are: 1. The story didn't overlap. it has a compelling one, which placed Diana and Trevor's chemistry far above any ( except Christopher Reeves' Superman and Lois Lane) we have seen. 2. DCEU have balls to (spoiler) a major character, unlike their else where brother who keeps shoving theirs down our throats. Overall, WW didn't meet or exceed my expectation. 5.5/10 |
MJBOLT:my point is: you marvelites only believe what critics say about movie - especially the CBM genre. ok. can you agree that WW is better than your so much beloved CA: CW? Though, I believe CA:WS will be better than WW. |
Can we officially say WW (presently on 94% RT score), is better than all MCU's movies since our brothers from that brand (marvelites) based their "good and bad" movies off RT's scores...? |
that's mine!!!!

I am totally convinced now that there is not Zack Snyder and DCEU can do to please those marveltards extremists. The last time I checked; it was all about Wonder Woman's ampits....lol! Now it's about JL trailer to SM: Homecoming trailer! Ehya! this marveltards no go kill us with their hates and sentiments towards DCEU! ow Spider-Man avoided the worst mistake of the Justice League trailer52commentsWhat are we afraid of?byBen KucheraMar 28, 2017, 4:00pm EDTtweetsharepinPeter Parker and Iron Man bond over being superheroesSonyToday’sSpider-Man: Homecomingtrailer did a lot of things right, although it also kind of gave away the entirety of the film in doing so. But one of the best aspects of the trailer is that it set up thestakes of the film, including antagonists both internal and external.This is an area where theJustice Leaguetrailer completely falls apart; it struggles to find any reason for the viewer to care about what’s going on, nor does it justify why these heroes areteaming up.Spider-Man’sexternal villain is Vulture,but the real bad guy here is Spider-Man’s own eagerness and lack of experience. He wants to use his newly acquired suit to save the city, even though Tony Stark warns him that job is best left to the older and more experienced heroes. It looks as though the suit is actually taken away during the course of the movie, making Spider-Man mirror that horrible gamingtrope where you’re given all your powers at the beginning of the game only to lose them and spend the next few hours gaining them back.The good news is that we know what the stakes are. Vulture doesn’t care if he kills people, but those people may be saved by the existing heroes even if Spider-Man stays home. It doesn’t seem as if the world itself is in jeopardy; Vulture is a contained threat with a limited ability to hurt others who is fighting against heroes who are already in place. Spider-Man himself seems a bit redundant, even though we’re of course cheering for him to prove himself to Stark. Who hasn’t felt inadequate in front of a parental figure?This conflict is relatively small for a superhero film, which matches the film’s whimsical poster. This sort of arcis refreshing, and it helpsSpider-Man: Homecomingfeel more interesting thanjust being another superhero movie.He’s not fighting his way through a sea of faceless, disposable grunts. He’s either fighting low-level crime or failingto do Iron Man’s job when it comes to dealing with the big bad. We know whatwe’re supposed to be afraid of, and it’s mostly Spider-Man’s emotions. He justwants to grow up and save people, and he’s either slipping up when doing so or being told he’s moving too fast. It’s relatable, which was always the best part of Spider-Man as a character for many of us.To be clear, we don’t know if the story being sold in this trailer is the same story as the movie itself, but for now that’s all we have to go on. The important thing is how well the trailer grabs the audience and gets them interested.Which brings us to theJustice Leaguetrailer.Sorry to keep beating up on Warner Bros. but ...The Justice League trailer does absolutely nothing — outside of very basic fan service — to get us to care about this conflict. The planet or galaxyhangs in the balance, we think, but the trailer relies on the same faceless horde of disposable bad guys that we saw in the Batman dream sequence fromBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Our heroes dutifully beat up the aliens while quipping to each other about this and that, but there never seems to be anything actually at stake.“There’s an attack coming, from far away,” Bruce Wayne says in his heaviest of heavy voices but ... why is that scary? We have a big group of heroes who seems in charge of the situation through the whole trailer. There are no stakes, there is no bad guy to fear and no reason given for whythese characters need to team up. Theyare in control of every situation in the trailer, and there are no character arcs even hinted at. Bruce Wayne is rich, The Flash is fast, and Cyborg is bad CG. They beat up on the would-be Chitauri and that’s that.“There's certainly logic to amassing an army against a super-team, especially on the big screen: It stops your protagonists from looking like bullies (who really wants to watch a five-against-one fight?) while giving each of them something to do simultaneously; it is, after all, harder to temporarily ‘hide’ that characters are present in a scene (or a physical space)onscreen compared with a comic book,”a Hollywood Reporter storyabout the use of faceless drones in superhero films states. “That setting your heroes loose against an army alsoallows for multiple action sequences and the good guys get to look kick-ass and productive without ending the movie too early is just an added bonus.”The problem is that we have no reason to root for our heroes when they don’t seem to have anything to overcome. The speculationis that Superman returns as a bad guy— and that’s cringe inducing for a whole host of reasons — and of coursewe know who the actual bad guy is due to cut scenesand interviews, but the trailer fails to give us any hint of drama or struggle. There should be something big happening to give all these legendary characters a reason to work together, and the best the trailer can do is say bad dudes are on their way. Thanks?The first Avengers trailer made sure to establish the threat first, along with scenes that suggest normal people put up a strong resistance to Loki but failed. Then the team is assembled, andwe see them fighting each other as wellas sometimes losing in combat to Loki.The logic of what is happening and why is established, and we’re sold on the fact theyhadto come together.The Avengersused the faceless army trope with the Chitauri, much likeJustice League, but the trailer didn’t only show scenes of victory and what passes for humor in the Snyder-verse. The trailer’s editor knew that showing fear and uncertainty was the best way to pull the audience in. They need to have something to overcome for the film to be interesting.Justice Leaguedoesn’t give us that at all, andSpider-Man’strailer did so by lowering the stakes due to the fact he’s entering a mature cinematic universe with existing characters who are more than able to take care of these situations without him. He has to provehimself to Iron Man and the world at large as much as he has to fight Vulture, and it’s going to be fascinating to see how the movie removes Iron Man from the situation to give Spider-Man an excuse to step back in and takecare of things, thus proving himself to The Avengers and setting up 15 sequels and blah blah blah. We know where the story is going, but at least the trailer attempts to get us invested inthe arc of the character.Marvel changed the tone of Spider-Man from existing movies in its universe, and addressed the fact that heroes already exist and finding a way to keep the film tense is going to require at least a bit of imagination. Keeping Spider-Man’s largest struggle emotional is a good way to do this, butJustice Leaguehas yet to figure out a way to get audiences to care about the film’s story without simply using their existing love of these characters. |
This is what I see when I read people's comments backlashing Zack's work James Cameron Praises Zack Snyder's MoviesKofi Outlaw- 02/20/2017Play VideoBatman v Superman Director Highlights Before-And-After Scenes In New Video [HD]ShareSTART PHOTO GALLERYZack Snyder has gone from being one of the biggest directors to break out of the 2000s era, to one of the most controversial and divisive directors of current times. The filmmaker's unique visual style was perfect for the comic book movie genre, turning films like 300 and Watchmen into cult-hits that faithfully brought comic book pages to life on the movie screen. After making 300 and Watchmen for DC/WB (and a failed personal project in Sucker Punch), Snyder was handed the keys to the kingdom: launching a DC Movie Universe to rival the one Marvel has built. However, what should've beena slam dunk has proven to be winding and very rocky road; Snyder's Superman reboot film Manof Steel angered a lot of fans for its grim vision of Superman - as did the follow up film, Batmanv Superman: Dawn of Justice. Now Snyder has the big Justice League team up film coming down to theaters, determining (maybe once andfor all) how his DC movie legacy will be written.However, even while fans continue to debate the merits of Zack Snyder's directing, there is one filmmaker that is lending some high praise to Snyder's filmmaking abilities: James Cameron. That's Cameron talking to Comic Book Debate about which filmmakers inspired him, and he name drops Robert Rodriguez as well as Zack Snyder as filmmakers whose visual style grabbed his attention, long before they were bignames in the industry (speaking to the quality of the their work, more than their fame).It's funny that Cameron references both Snyderand Rodriguez, as the two filmmakers had major impact on starting the comic book movieera in Hollywood, thanks to Snyder's 300, and Rodriguez's Sin City, two comic books by acclaimed creator Frank Miller, which were adapted into successful films in 2006 and 2005,respectively. It's also funny that Cameron references his "friend" who directed Deadpool, Tim Miller, as another inspiring filmmaker. Miller also gained acclaim for making a new sort of comic book movie, making it an official pattern: James Cameron admires the visual language of comic books - which makes it evenmore odd that he's never directed a superhero movie. |
Ezra Miller's Flash will definitely steal the show! Great Teaser from the visual Lord himself!!! Thank You Zack Snyder!!! |
.....and both of you are in one party now.... thunder fire you and him 10times!!! |

no way bro. Superman Prime is "omnipresent". he can be anywhere at same time...
