Black Superman looks kinda interesting to me. Just wanna see how they go about it.
But it definitely not replacing my Cavill. Henry is my one and only Supes. More Cavill supes movie is needed. Black supes and Cavill can live in separate universe or can be in same Universe so far they can perfectly write it well.
Anyways, I still think Cavill is still supes. WB is just sour from that headless scenario and are yet to figure out what they wanna do with him. When they're sure I think Cavill will be back.
If they want to do a black Superman, they have to explore his origin very well. I think Val zod or whatever his name is, has a different origin from kal el.
Nickshrapnel: Oh, that I saw an interview where Snyder said MoS sequel would have had Brainiac and the Kryptonians in phantom zone as the villains. Cool stuff mehn
Yeah, I saw that too.
The old wb execs messed up big time. All they thought about was their bonus before the ATT deal was done.
SMUAG: Most of us have busy lives outside social media and that's one of the many reasons we don't do banter here always..... We only reply or make comments on what we feel like. Read and read rightly, WB is not moving away from Zack's vision because of returns rather they are doing so because they feel they have found the right formula... That's my own understanding.
abduleez1: You dey mind the guy and him selective criticism.
I was even waiting for him to say we don't post ZSJL wins make I give am full script.
The funny thing is you and I are the ones with the highest number of positive ZSJL numbers posts. Yet, in a weird way we are made to look the villain.
This peeps wailing dey taya me.
Tbh, it's getting irritating.
Several posts hyping up ZSJL has been posted here to the extent that there was a very small rift between ZSJL and TFAWS series, but you will never see smuag shook mouth when the heated argument starts to defend ZSJL or any DC related stuff.
See the way you hyped and defended ZSJL on the movie section, yet it was not seen or appreciated, but all of a sudden, somebody will just come out of the blues and say that people are making fun of it or hating it or the numbers.
People should grow up. There's life outside NL, twitter or anything Zack or DC related.
WB/DC/Disney/D+ or whatever doesn't give a f*ck.
People should learn to live their normal lives and be happy.
SMUAG: Oga, what is backing your claim for one not to disclaim yours just like how you love to disclaim others. So you think WB will not recoup their $70m invested on ZJL and also make 2-3x of it...! WB is just being stubborn to move forward with it, not the returns they are looking at. If it was the returns then WB won't go ahead with the Shazam's sequel, cause it didn't make better returns, likewise Bird of Prey when you factor how foreign box office numbers (monies) are being split. Aside the premier week, Cinemas owners' % keep rising from the second week and eventually nothing or minor % will be apportioned to the movie studios. This means, more than half Shazam's foreign numbers was shared by film house (cinemas). I implore you to do the maths yourself. To me, I feel WB thinks they have found a formula in Shazam, Bird of Prey and WW84 since these movies were critically certified fresh by RT.
On the bolded, what claim are you referring too?
Nobody here has said that WB/WM won't recoup their $70m investment in ZSJL. Or can you provide the posts saying such? I can guess that the answer is no.
TonySpike: Yeah, I am talking about the cinematography and not the stories themselves. Zack cinematography is being copied by a lot of new supes movies.
So true.
A lot of superhero movies/tv shows are using Zack's cinematography. This shows what I have been saying all along.
If Zack can work on his movie run time and get his viewers to have that emotional feeling to his movies, he will be the number 1 director and all movie studios will be begging to have him.
Zack is just too good with his casting and cinematography.
PS: The extra footage in ZSJL was shot at the back of his house. The guy is too good abeg, but can improve to be the best
abduleez1: Ok fine. But ZSJL numbers outside US are also posted here regularly. Just that US HBOMax gains wider popularity or distribution.
Cos it's mainly HBOMax US numbers WB are focused for now and not spectacular numbers boosting third party distributors internationally.
Don't mind smuag. He just dey fall hand anyhow.
Imagine all the positive details about the ZSJL that has been posted since how many weeks, na the view for china that doesn't really count because of the metrics used.
See details of the metrics used in counting the 250M views, then you wonder why WB/WM are still unfazed about china result.
Hopefully, HBO go, Bluray or 4K purchase is a deciding factor here. However, there's small rumour that restore the snyderverse is still happening.
SMUAG: Bro, e dey like say na u d English dey hard... So, are you not aware that ZJL was also streamed outside the US with other platforms...? Or for you those numbers won't count as long as they aren't from the US HBOMAX... If you understand me correctly then you suppose to know what am saying... Let me repeat or rephrase myself: I mean, why THOSE of us who derive pleasure posting numbers about ZJL's meagre numbers in HBOMAX (US) don't do the same when other streaming platforms (outside US) received high numbers for ZJL? Why? Coin is two sided, never leave one side when analysing because both sides made it a coin.
Here you are again with the false claims...
I haven't seen anyone here who derives pleasure in posting numbers about ZJL's meagre numbers.
Btw, where were you when I posted all these positive info about ZSJL?
TheKingIsHere: ZSJL is currently number 1 on the UK's Official Film Chart
TonySpike: Dark and gritty is Zack Snyder. Now, "The Boys" got a lot of inspiration from him. Same with "Invincible".
Lol, I hope you know that dark and gritty movies were not invented by Zack Snyder?
But I understand your point and passion for Snyder movies.
The boys is a rip-off of DC Justice league and the director used Zack's cinematography style. However, invincible, yet another DC Justice league rip-off, didn't get inspiration from Zack. That's how the comic book is.
meobizy: Let the first episode come out first. Don’t get ahead of yourself. I’m done with Game of Thrones unless this gathers enough traction halfway into the season.
Don't worry, GOT is taking a more powerful turn around. And guess what? A lot of people are excited.
abduleez1: It seems You're not updated yet on Netflix superhero plans. Netflix already has a superhero franchise they're building on. The MillarWorld— pivoted on the works of Mark Millar in the comics Industry. Netflix even bought his comics company and the distribution rights to adaptation. Netflix now owns the company.
In fact, this month May 7 Netflix is debuting it's Big superhero investment— Jupiter's Legacy. It kinda looks or feels like The Boys or Invincible.
There are a host of shows and movies in various stage of development in the MillarWorld, starting with Jupiter's Legacy.
