well considering the powers of telekinesis...it qualifies as supernatural as well as sci-fi

It's just like saying THE BOYS is not supernatural because their powers come from a drug Compound V

By your logic, sci-fi=supernatural.
Nope.

Whatever doesn't kill you, simply makes you stranger

This might arguably be the best opening scene in CBM history imo.

Finally found accurate subtitles for The Witch Part 2 from subscene

Koreans never disappoint with their movies

The Witch Part 2...9.5/10
Great supernatural movie...the action sequences especially at the end was jaw dropping...


If you have trouble understanding the movie, just get accurate subtitles...that's why I waited to watch


From what I heard years ago...it's supposed to be a trilogy...so I can't wait for Part 3
Do you speak fluent korean?

How do you know the subs are accurate or not? cheesy

The Supernatural tag does not fit at all. I’ve not seen The Boys but from what I understand, their powers is a product of lab experiments, which means sci-fi. Supernatural only applies if the power comes from forces beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature.
e.g darkseid, wonderwoman, scarlet witch, Dr fate, Shazam

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

Sweet news for DC Bros this week... cheesy

From Alan Horn back at WB, to Ben Affleck back as Batman in Aquaman to more connectivity in the movies. cool 2023 looks ripe and looking fruitful.
Supes update is the remainder cherry on the cake.

It's only cameos, I can see why Affleck would jump at an opportunity for quick cash grab.
As for Superman, it's Cavil or bust.

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.

okay...


Hope you can see the word telekinesis


It is subjective and subject to personal interpretation

Same way The Boys could be supernatural/ Sci-fi/ Superhero


Even before Compound V was revealed, we didn't know the powers were scientific
Would you then remove the supernatural tags just cos of a revelation?

okay

Like I said, it could be interpreted multiple ways
Mostly used by supernatural entities but then beings who have these superhuman abilities, no matter what means they derived them would qualify

sometimes the subtitles won't make any logical sense

Also, sometimes English is spoken in the movie and the subs aren't accurate

If I were to make a series about Vampires...you would agree supernatural works right?

What if I later revealed the vampires were made through scientific experimentation? - it suddenly becomes sci-fi?


Then what if last episode, I revealed the source of the injections that were used to turn people into vampires were derived from the corpse of a real life vampire centuries ago?


Can you now see...you can't keep shifting...a story can contain multiple elements...
One element in a movie doesn't automatically remove the others

Nobody's saying a story can't have multiple elements or different genres. But if there have been no elements of the supernatural genre in the story in question, then you can't just tag it supernatural on a whim. It's really not that difficult to understand.

Also, might as well add that, NO! Genre tags are not subjective. But we live in 2020 where people do whatever they like irrespective of how ignorant they may be on the subject.

You make your story any way you want. In folklore, zombies are supernatural.

But popular today all feature zombies as the byproduct of some virus.

This is not complicated

Yep, I know it's cameos for now. It's step by step. He said he was done, later just an appearance in flash, now Aquaman. Na small small.

Na observation mode for now.

You're just confusing yourself all the more bro.
There's a simpler way of telling the difference between Sci-fi and supernatural genre.
In sci-fi, there is some sort of scientific explanation for the unreal things.
In Supernatural, unreal things defy scientific explanation.
In Sci-fi, fantasy stories are given plausibility with scientific explanation.
In Supernatural, plausibility is thrown out of the window as fantasy fully embrace the outrageous.

A simple zombie apocalypse film is a fantasy story with scientific explanation, therefore, a sci-fi film.
A vampire film is a fantasy story without a scientific explanation, therefore, a supernatural horror film.

These two genres have elements that sometimes overlap, but collectively, their respective elements are portrayed very differently.

No it doesn't make sense.
Superman can't be wearing a mask, he is the symbol of hope for a reason.
His costume is perfect.
