Cc seun, lalasticlala, Mynd44.

When we buy a ticket to see a superhero movie these days, we do so in the knowledge that a lot of what we're about to see has been created digitally — and the special effects put together for DC movies are no different.
You simply can't make a superhero film without relying on the work of visual effects artists to some degree, but the level of reliance in the modern age has reached heights that it can be difficult to really understand unless you see the original footage with your own eyes. Even though we're well aware of the prevalence of CGI going into a comic book blockbuster, when you strip away the special effects and see exactly what the film looked like before the digital magicians in the crew got their hands on it, it's pretty shocking to behold. From Superman's first believable flight to his infamous vanishing mustache, this is what DC movies look like without special effects.

1.) Superman: The Movie (1978)

using ronan isnt repeating

if anything ronan appearing in GOTG1 would have been the one with the case of repeated villan

captain marvel is like throwback to GOTG1

coz in the timeline it existed b4 GOTG1 only unfortunate guardians was released before it



tho if ronan is the villan to captain marvel it means that just like thanos in infinity wars part 1 that the villian is actually going to get a win
So Ronan The Accuser appearing as the Villain in Captain Marvel (about to actually) and in The Guardians Of The Galaxies vol.1, Movies that are not directly related, that do not have the prequel sequel relationship, that do not have similar plots or storyline, is called what? Let me guess, it is called Grand Appearance of Villainous Character.

Please don't mention the case of Thanos because the case of Thanos isn't repetition of villain because Avengers 4 is the direct sequel to Avengers: Infinity War. Which means Avengers 4 is the continuation of Avengers: Infinity War. They both have similar plot and storyline and as such similar Villain should be in them.
But in the case of Captain Marvel and The Guardians Of The Galaxy, they are not directly related, they do not have the prequel sequel relationship, they do not have similar plot and storyline. So why use similar Villains for them both?

Well I think they know better than you about their movies...
What more can I say, it their franchise. Anyhow they want to do it, we will still watch it.

This your matter tire me. MCU is one with active characters who have a past, present and in some cases future lives. Ronan did something in the past before he ever encountered GOTG. So because of your dislike for repeating villains, that story shouldn't be told or should be recycled just to suit you? Guy think am now

You spoke of Loki, did his story end after the first Thor? That is why it is a cinematic universe things happens concurrently. So basically if we should follow your logic, Thanos shouldn't be the villain of the next Avengers just so they could avoid repeating villains.

Heck if repeating villains was such a bad thing how come the first Avengers movie did better than the first Thor movie? This just shows that you self claimed fact is just that self claimed. You see I have come to accept not everyone can be pleased, if after the first Thor movie, Loki disappeared am sure you will come here and question Marvel for it.

(Let me be a little petty grin grin ) Bro Marvel is so awesome that they can make even the silliest thing awesome. Assuming your fact was actually a fact then Marvel has once succeeded in making said fact meaningless due to their awesomeness and be sure they will do it again. Do you know why? Cause they are simply AWESOME!

I ask, is Captain Marvel a direct prequel or sequel to The Guardians Of The Galaxies vol.1? Do they have similar plot or storyline? of course not. So why use same Villains for both Movies that are not directly related? or is marvel running out of Villainous Characters?

Just like Thor and The Avengers were not directly related. They didn't have the prequel sequel relationship aside from the fact that they were in the same universe.
When I saw The Avengers movie and discovered that Loki (who was the villain in Thor) was the villain in it, it automatically turned me off. I lost interest in the movie. I only had to see it for seeing sake and also for the fact that my money shouldn't be in vain or wasted.

Even if they are to bring back a Villainous Character, let him or her not be the Primary or main or major Villain in that movie. He or she could be a supporting Character just like the case of Loki after The Avengers.

#FACT:
Whether they make money or not, it doesn't change the fact that repeating Villains in a franchise SUCKS.

Celebrities › Re: Tiwa Savage's Marriage Crash: A Lesson To All Men by Xavier5(m): 11:40pm On May 27, 2018
nashito:
It is evident now that the crash of Tiwa's wedding is somehow as a result of infidelity,trust issues and insecurity. From the recent activities of Tiwa Savage, we can somehow deduce that TeeBliz was right regarding the accusations against Tiwa.

However, the lesson we must all learn from the crash as men are numerous, but let me shorten it;

(1) HELPING A WOMAN TO THE TOP OF HER CAREERS:

I have often wondered why some men refused to let their woman rise to the very top, it is very simple here. When a woman rises to the top, they tend to forget the ladder through which they climbed to the very top, this is not same case with men. A man will always remain very loyal to the that person who showed him the way to the top. Same cannot be said of women. Most times. Putting ourselves in someone's shoes helps, let's assume TeeBliz takes all that shits we were made to believe, but the question that comes to mind is, does it mean Tiwa wasn't aware of his habits before they got married? If it was Tiwa's habit, Do we really think TeeBliz will divorce her for the same reason?
Women are naturally not loyal to men especially when you stop paying the bills.
Not remembering who helped you to the top thus treating them as trash is not a gender thing, rather it is an individual thing irrespective of gender or sex.

I oppose you where you said women don't remember and respect those that took them to the top or they don't respect their husbands when they are more successful. That's a lie and stereotype. Fine some women are guilty of that likewise some men also. There are women that respects and remember those that took them to the top and also respect, love, care and submit to their husbands when they become or are more successful (i am a living witness to that) likewise some men also.
As I said earlier, it is not a gender thing but an individual thing.

nashito:
(2) With the manner in which Tiwa has carried herself lately. I want to ask all men this simple question; regardless of her career, can you marry such a wife? With all those crazy, ripped off, half naked dresses etchuh Before you answer that, take a deep breath and think first. While dating, we all love this crazy girl who's always sexy and all that, but this is marriage, Men can you really do that? Lesson learn, don't Marry someone who's career is not suitable to your kinda person.
No, I can't marry such a person. Common, I'm a decent man and I will love to get married to a decent (in appearance, dressing, physique, character and skills) beautiful lady just like me and not an indecent one.

If I'm to get married to such a person, we will have to come to an agreement that she will be Decent (in appearance, dressing, physique, character and skills). If she agrees to it, then we tie the knot otherwise to your tent oh Israel.

nashito:
(3) Finally, As a man. DO NOT sacrifice your own career and future ambitions for any Nigerian lady, they are not worth it, they all have short memories. I know they are few good ones out there. But never you ever sacrifice your life for anyone's career. We should all remember Teebliz for what he did and not what we were told. He picked up Tiwa and put her in the pinnacle of her career, what did he get in return? Nothing.

This is a big lesson for all ambitions men out there. I am not saying you should restrict that woman from being who she wants to be. Just don't sacrifice yours for her.
Thank you. Still your boy Nash.
Wrong, stop being mysoginistic.
The statement "Never give up or sacrifice your dreams for any woman" is Wrong rather it should be "Never give up or sacrifice your dreams for any human whether male or female" because they aren't worth it and also they can't be trusted to be appreciative and acknowledgetive of your sacrifice. Humans are unstable soul. The change like Chameleon.
If you are to do it, do it at your own peril because they may not remember, acknowledge or appreciate it. Some may actually.

BlackManta:
The usual trolling is getting boring.

Comparing a 5 movie DCEU with a 19 movie MCU.
It's like comparing a full grown adult to a child that is still developing.
So all this trolling is basically descending too low as an MCU fanatic.


Ofcuz the one with 19 movies will be a very high grossing franchise.

Oh and remember that the first five DCEU movies outgrossed the first five MCU movies.....so yeah DCEU ain't dying.
Looking forward to Aquaman smiley
No be only you the thing tire, the thing tire me too.

Patiently looking forward to the Aquaman also. As a matter of fact, that's the only Movie I am looking forward to this year. From the look of things, it's gonna be a bomb, a success. Also it's director, James Wan, is a prolific one, you know what that means.

Do you realize that they're called CBMs for a reason?

So, because they don't want to repeat villain, they should deviate totally from the comic?

Once again, like someone said earlier, they're silly questions
They are silly questions or you don't have an answer to it.

#FACT:
Repeating Villains In A Franchise Sucks.

badinfluence:
You do know captain marvel is going to have a kree/skrull angle right? And since it's set before the events of GOTG1.. Ronan's presence is essential..
That's exactly what I said. Since they know they will using him as the villain in Captain Marvel, why did they still have to use him again as the Villain in The Guardians Of The Galaxy vol.1. Why didn't they use another Villain to prevent repeating of Villains.

You are permitted to love but not to be stupid.

Permit me to say this lady lacks sense. How can you be so stupid to continue in a relationship with someone like that after he cheated you. Them do you?

As for churchill, this guy is a confirmed certified professional PlayBoy. Just take a look at how he joggled and toyed with the Emotions of three women. My GOD.......

All I can say is, Churchill, Remember There Is Something Called NEMESIS
