pu7pl3:pard0n? Where did i say this? How did i even say this? You have no point here bro...I don't see it,nobody sees it and you on the brink of sounding delusional bron0w i see u d0n't even undastand my argument. That guy said, "smallville was the pinnacle of c0mic bo0k 'm0vies' and 'tv series". I said, yea as for bringing abt the arrowverse, but No, as it barely did anything worth significant to be a pinnacle of cb m0vies. That was my argument and i listed why.' |
pu7pl3:actually, he said "m0vies and tv series" n0t 'm0vies'. So he differentiated both c0ncepts hence my qualms. Rating smallville as a pinnacle of cb m0vies create a false impressi0n that it kickstartd cb films or created a path for which cb films n0w follow. |
TheKingIsHere:lmfao, u just want s0me0ne dat will be agreeing to everytin u say. No way. I would make it hard for u lol. On a serious n0te, smallville was g0od, had its m0ments but then failed in s0 many ways that had it been introduced today, it wouldn't live up to the hype of bk then. N0t cos of the cgi or acting; they were perfect, but cos of its t0o many plot c0nveniences fr0m its incepti0n. Like, the series made Lex the bad guy fr0m the way they made the characterz treat him even b4 he was a bad guy. They never gave us Lex's perspective or why he was all t0o attracted to Kent. Story c0nvenience: the bad guy is the bad guy becos he is the bad guy. |
pu7pl3:bro, the storyline of the 1st six seas0ns wouldn't have measured to anything d0ne presently. What am saying is The series relied too much on c0nvenient plot devices throughout its 1st 6 seas0ns. We kept seeing show h0rned elements such as meteor freaks, krypt0nite being in every epis0de, they never justified Lex's hatred for Clark and they just made him outrightly the bad guy. The meteor freak plot device worked well in seas0n 1 0nly for the writerz to keep forcing it in at every seas0n. Then came the all t0o c0nvenient storyline of Lana Lang's grand aunt who was a witch. C0me on? Then cave drawings by a certain tribe predicting the c0ming of Kal El and his battle with Naman. Mhen, those st0rylines were all t0o c0nvenient. You couldn't go abt an epis0de without watching Kent falling becos of krypt0nite. They couldn't c0me up with reas0nable ways for villains to beat Clark without using krypt0nite. There were epis0des that made sense but the writerz played to save with the show at the early stage. Would u c0mpare smallville's storyline with that of Kyle xy? The series had a structured story with a linear plot that followed. Smallville though picked up in seas0n 6 when they decided to delve deeper into dc lore. |
hulk616:those were cart0ons. And mind u, they never achieved the acclaim smallville did. The show had its m0ments bk then but ryt n0w, it wouldn't last on air. |
pu7pl3:the questi0n is, which CB tv series ran parallel to Smallville back then? Listen, smallville was a g0od show, had its bad m0ments but i c0rrected thekingishere n0ti0n of it being the "pinnacle of CB movies". Yea, the idea for arrow came as a result of smallville and the pace it set for introducing other dc elements. But it being a pinnacle of c0micb0ok m0vies? C0me on, it was g0od as a series bk then but can't be measured with CB movies that existd bk then. |
TheKingIsHere:series u mean? Cos the show relied too much on using krypt0nite as a plot device t0o many times. And t0o many love triangles. Smallville was good but saying the pinnacle for cb films? |
TheKingIsHere:see bro, there are 2 things that can make a man fall or stagnant; people and critics. |
TheKingIsHere:oga, just dy c0nfuse urself. |
pu7pl3:u dy mind thekingishere? S0metimes he points out s0me weird stuffs that u w0nder if studios played safe, we'd be stuck watching pg13 disney princesses. I just dy l0ok am with all him sexism arguments crap. I wantd to trap him by pointing BoP out but he went abt going zig zag. Ogbeni, if u want to make a film, make it. And be sure why u want to. |
hulk616:sorry bro. Share up. The Ucl final is going to be between Liverpool and Real Madrid. We are going to Istanbul bro, and we are on a revenge missi0n. |
TheKingIsHere:bros, martian manhunter is as popular as the flash. M0re popular than cyborg. The reas0n why dc didn't use him since the launch of new 52 is his similarity to superman and they needed diversity. D0n't say j0nn aint popular abeg. He is very popular. People were pissed bk then that he wasn't included in the jl relaunch roster. |
TheKingIsHere:bros, d0n't u go there. MM is popular abeg. |
pu7pl3:lol hahahahaha what did i tell u during pre seas0n? Lol. Sorry bro. Take heart. Even i haven't recovered. |
Pu7pl3, hulk616, are u watching the match? |
pu7pl3:lol, did u read my c0mment? Shazam was popular bk in the golden age of c0mics when he was Capt marvel. But n0t to the m0dern day audience. Even i was surprised when people were w0ndering who shazam was. |
TheKingIsHere:the pictures released so far point to the opposite directi0n. |
pu7pl3:let wb c0ntinue making harlequinn the centre piece till the film is released, you'll understand. |
hulk616:google it. |
pu7pl3:you didn't kn0w? Shazam prior to its release wasn't kn0wn to m0dern audience, hence the c0nfusi0n. Black canary is popular mhen. She startd out in the justice society, helped form an early versi0n of the justice league. She was so popular that they had to join her with green arrow. |
TheKingIsHere:jesus christ? Did u hear urself? Do u kn0w BC was once a founding member of the JL? Dude, d0n't go there. BC is kn0wn bro. She's way m0re fam0us than green arrow and shazam. And d0n't forget she has appeared on various dc projects including smallville. Harlequinn just got fam0us fr0m the batman animated series. She didn't start out in the c0mics. And wb just using the character to sell a girl power feminist themed m0vie adds to the argument of using sex to sell a film. I repeat, making harlequinn the centre piece would create a back lash. Wb doesn't kn0w this yet. People have begun saying this on twitter. They are questi0ning the m0tives of the film and w0ndering if its to appeal to male fantasies. Bros, critics are taking n0te of this. And it may also backfire on margot robbie. |
TheKingIsHere:without the main characterz in focus? Black canary too is fam0us bro. Even m0re fam0us than shazam. Sha, i hope warner kn0w what they are doing. |
pu7pl3:shey u people were talking abt sexism right? U said the critics criticized david ayer of sexism, simply becos of how harlequinn was turned into a sex symbol in suicide squad right? N0w, it's same character that was said to be made into a sex symbol in a m0vie, that's n0w made to be the focal point of a certain team of w0men meant to channel the theme of feminism. If i was nitpicking, you'd find me pointing at a different thing entirely. Trust me, the critics are marking these things and wb cho0sing to make harlequinn the centre piece of a film expected to pr0m0te girl power would hurt this film badly, in terms of RT and BO. N0te, this film isn't titled, Harlequinn and the emancipati0n of the birds of prey. They've barely pr0m0ted the other characterz, time and again, we see or hear of harlequinn, trust me, if WB are aiming to please the Sjw or whatever m0vement, they're doing the opposite. They already criticized (in your words) harlequinn of being sexualized, making said character the fr0nt piece in a film abt girl power, would bring s0me roar. |
TheKingIsHere:yes, and what have we heard c0ncerning huntress, dinah lance and batgirl? Have we seen a poster for them? But we've seen harlequinn posterz one too many times like the film is a harlequin solo film. Am n0t against pr0m0ting harlequin but it's a team up film. |
TonySpike:yes. But this film isn't abt harlequinn but the BoP. She shouldn't be the centre piece. |
ozilo1chance:i hope so. |
BlackManta:no, n0t even that. It's like making superman or w0nderw0man the centre piece of a justice league film. |
Kaycee7:what's the title of the film? |
[sighs] so it happened. So sad [sobs] WB are making a mistake making harlequinn the centre piece of Birds of prey. Seriously, they aren't selling the film in a good way. |
anigbajumo:okay, we hear. Can we fry cake now? |
kingskim:everybody d0n dy form barca fan. Kai, Liverpool fans are special. They stuck with the club through thick and thin. |
Lovexme:Let's get the loss out of the way, shall we? I love it when they hate us. YNWA! |

He said it was the Pinnacle of CB series(he said movies but it's a naija cliché) back then...it was even better than many actual CB movies but that's not what we talking about
you said zidane was top to something.
