WHY the fuck would WB put Zack Snyder in charge of the DCEU? Fucking WHY?
>>
The same reason that Abrams is in charge of Star Wars. They have a ruthless grasp of how to create films that make lots of money no matter how good or bad they are.
>>
>>81021838
This is why Micheal Bay is in charge of Transformers, in fact he may have proven that this practice is completely legit. If you want to string someone up for string him up because he's the one that showed studios it's possible.
>>
>>81021764
I don't think any other director wanted to be in charge. They really should have brought in more comic people.
>>
>>81021764
because WB doesn't care about /co/'s opinions

and why should they?
>>
>>81021892
at least with with a Bay film you have some fun. He's the master I think he's the only one who can do it
>>
The worst thing is that while Zack Snyder's best film he's ever made is only a 75% on Rotten Tomatoes, and that's only because of a remake, he's still going to be rich, famous, and have a better life than all of us. Even if he gets booted by WB, he's still going to continue making boatloads of money with his shitty movies.
>>
>>81021764
Blame his wife
>>
>>81021838
Abrams isnt in charge of star wars. He was only hired to do 1 movie. Rian Johnson is in charge of the 2nd one.
>>
I honestly can't think of a reason. I was going to attempt humor but I fucking can't. Get this retard away from movies I care about.

He was one of their payroll guys. Look at all his movies, its almost entirely WB.

300 did really well despite shit reviews. It was a pop culture moment.

So they bankrolled his future projects off that goodwill and he was the one that wanted to make Watchmen to "save it from the Terry Gilliams of the world" which is such a hilariously arrogant thing to say.

So then WB, who historically has not given a single fuck about comic book properties, HAS to make a Superman movie. Watchmen didn't do great, but he's still their comic book guy.

Seriously, look at the short list for MoS. Snyder was the only one that even presented a pitch that even resembled Superman.

So here we are. Cause WB just doesn't care.
>>
Because he makes great fucking movies for specific audiences with specific prererences in certain brand characters and the other audiences will see the film regardless because of the brand.
>>
>>81022330
>wanted to make Watchmen to "save it from the Terry Gilliams of the world"
Jesus Christ what an asshole. And what an odd choice for person to randomly be disrespectful to for no reason.

>Seriously, look at the short list for MoS. Snyder was the only one that even presented a pitch that even resembled Superman.

When you put it that way, it makes sense why they would continue with him but even though Man of Steel was good in reality, it still got scathing reviews. Why didn't they broaden their search when looking for someone to do Man of Steel?
>>
>>81022392
>Because he makes great fucking movies for specific audiences with specific prererences

This the exact reason you don't give a tentpole franchise to a niche director. Im not even shitting on snyder, i dont care if he is good or bad. But if only a narrow demo actually likes his stuff, he should not be in charge of a franchise meant for mass appeal
>>
>>81021838
Sucker Punch and Watchmen didn't exactly sweep the box office. They weren't failures either, but he's not some blockbuster maestro like you're suggesting
>>
>>81022445
Because they just don't care. Man of Steel could have been literally the worst movie ever made, but it did make a lot of money, and as long as Snyder keeps making movies that bring in a lot of money, he's allowed to fuck with whatever property he wants.
>>
>>81022445
>even though Man of Steel was good in reality
>>
>>81022506
Everything except the relentless infinite ending of global destruction and murder.
>>
>>81022506
Different people have different opinions. As a person who though Man of Steel was complete shit, you should fuck off.
>>
>>81022445
I remembered that a long time back that the rumor was that WB wanted to get a movie made soon because of the conflict they were having with the Siegel estate over Superman, so they decided on Snyder because he was reliable and could get stuff done faster.
>>
>>81022392

Zack and/or Deborah Snyder pls leave
>>

>even though Man of Steel was good in reality

I dont hate it like most of /tv/ or /co/, but it really fell apart in the 3rd act. Was going great up until then.
>>
>>81022470
I disagree.
After 5 movies with same style and tone mostly I think it's fair to experiment.

Jason goes to hell is maligned as its so radically different from the rest of the f13 series but it in fact is ones of the franchises best films, has one of the most mature well acted cast of the series. Great gore and some damn good chase scenes and overall is one of the best body swapping films out there Comparable to if not better then The Hidden.
>>
>>81021764
He's such a smug fuck and he has literally 0 reasons to be.

>>81022662
He thinks he's a talented artiste because his movies are unbearably serious in a teenage faggot sort of way.
>>
>>81021764
He has a history with comic book films (300, Watchmen). Problem is that WB hired a fanboy instead of a filmmaker.

What gets me is seeing Marvel put all these comedic directors in charge, like Whedon, Gunn, the Russos, Favreau, Wright, some who have zero experience with action, let alone a big budget cape movie and absolutely dominate the super hero movie landscape.

Meanwhile DC hires Snyder, the quintessential all flash, no substance action director, he fucks up not just one, but two movies and they have him down to stay involved with the rest of DCCU.

My point is when will DC stop and think, "Hey what is Marvel doing to be successful that we aren't?"
>>
Because integrity? True to the source? What's that?

WB only cares about two things: slapping a bunch of heroes together to capitalize on Avengers, and having it make Avengers-level profits. Who cares if it's actually good or not? Why bother building up to it like Marvel did? Rush that shit!
>>
>>81022873
If they'd realize that it's the name recognition that's making these movies a success, rather than the director, they could actually hire competent people, probably for a much lower price.
>>
>>81022873
I guess its because Marvel has a Feige who probably has perfected a safe formula for knowing what audiences and critics will generally like. Also we have only seen Snyder films. I'm really curious about Wonder Woman cos I think SS will do pretty good. If all of the solo movies for the rest of the Justice League are good then the only problem would be Snyder.
>>
>>81022902
>Why bother building up to it like Marvel did? Rush that shit!
I like how /co/ would always jump down your throat if you even suggested that "copying" Marvel's formula might possibly be a good idea. Every time someone even remotely suggests it, it's always:

>"How DARE DC try to do new things?"
>"You can have a cinematic universe with all sorts of established, named characters in the background! Just look at Star Wars and the X-Men movies!"
>"No, shut up, it'll be good!"

I mean, come on.
>>
>>81023048
DC's business plan for the shared universe is a facsimile of Marvel's, except with no direction and less talent. That's their whole fucking problem.
>>
>>81023048
You do realize that MoS was rushed into production so WB could hold onto the movie rights, right?

Do you think shoving Batman and Wonder Woman into said sequel doesn't seem like a rush move either?

For fuck sake anon, Justice League is supposed to release NEXT YEAR.
>>
>>81023133
The problem is that DC is worried people will get tired of superhero movies, so they rushed the whole thing and wanted to have Avengers even though they only made one solo movie.
>>
>>81023133
>DC's business plan for the shared universe is a facsimile of Marvel's, except with no direction and less talent. That's their whole fucking problem.
Not so far. Marvel never did anything like BvS.

When you try to apply the same principles to super hero movies, you get BvS and MoS

Its not the same. Now if David Ayer can't salvage the franchise the entire DCEU is in danger.

>>81022330

Except TDK and its sequel were some of the highest grossing movies of all time and they had originally planned to launch a shared universe with Batman Begins, Superman Returns and their planned Green Lantern movie.
>>
>>81023231
>Marvel never did anything like BvS.
It never did an ensemble film where your favorite characters initially clash but team up to defeat a great evil?
>>
>>81023254
Context.

Marvel slowly built up to the Avengers through solo movies.

Meanwhile, WB followed up a Superman reboot with a JL pilot, before JL Part One and Two.
>>
>>81023164
Given that they delayed BVS I don't think WB is really rushing as badly as you portray. It's possible that Snyder just thought having Batman and Wonder Woman in a sequel was a good idea. And I can imagine someone(besides Snyder) making a really good movie out of that. Its not an inherently flawed idea. I think WB is just generally incompetent, that doesn't necessarily mean rushing.
>>
>>81021764

Snyder delivered with 300 and Watchmen two comicbook movies that will be remembered in kino history for years... meanwhile at Marvel, they can be lucky if people still talk about Avengers in 10 years.
>>
>>81023254
>counting Suicide Squad as build up to Justice League
wut

And Wonder Woman is a prequel set almost 100 years ago. We've already met her in BvS. That's not much of a build up either.
>>
>>81023251
Definitely have higher hopes on that film now. David Ayer has proved time and time again that he is a great director/writer. If SS doesn't provide a high paced "fun" thrill ride, DCEU is going to die. WW will be dead in the water. I'm apprehensive, but I still have hope.
>>
>>81023354
Snyder, shouldn't you be trying to make more shitty movies?
>>
>>81023354
back in my day, shitposting meant something
>>
>>81023336
Uh, not in the same way as BvS.

Because BvS is part-MoS follow up, part-JL prequel, part introduction to Batman, WW, the Flash, and Aquaman.

It doesn't neatly fall into any one category like anything Marvel does. It is messy.

>>
>>81022873
The russos hadn't even directed a film at the time, they had only worked on tv like arrested development. You have far more control over smaller directors, who are more likely to follow the companys vision. Hell, gareth edwards got the godzilla film for reasons like these.

And zack snyder decided who was right in character disagreements with actors in bvs by having pushup competitions with them on set.
>>
>>81023418
>In danger of what, making lots of money?

In danger is becoming a joke for this generation of movie goers. Like the first xmen trilogy. Which would prompt yet another reboot.
>>
>>81023414
Iron Man 2 is probably the closest. Imagine Iron Man 2 if Marvel had made it about Captain America fighting him and cameo'd or foreshadowed all of the rest of the Avengers.
>>
>>81023341
>Marvel slowly built up to the Avengers through solo movies.
They did 3 solo movies (IM, Thor, Cap) that built up to the Avengers.

>Meanwhile, WB followed up a Superman reboot with a JL pilot, before JL Part One and Two.
Man of Steel introduced Superman
Batman v Superman reintroduced Batman
Wonder Woman solo explores WW

3 vs. 3... I dont see how thats such a big difference.

About that.
If memory serves the budget for BvS was about $450mil, and the rule of thumb is a movie has to make at least twice it's budget to be considered profitable.

Now I'm not saying $900mil isn't likely, Hell people will see it just because they recognized the names Batman and Superman, but the reviews aren't exactly helping.

>They did 3 solo movies (IM, Thor, Cap) that built up to the Avengers.

Also Incredible Hulk, and Iron Man 2 introduced Black Widow.
>>
>>81023597
They didn't kick his ass to the curb after MoS, but maybe WB will learn after BvS.

Maybe.
>>
>>81023699
It's not just that. I suspect WB expected BvS to gross in excess of 1.5 billion. When they realize bad management or creative lost them several hundred million dollars, heads will roll.
>>
>>81022186

Abrams has overall creative control of the franchise.
>>
>>81023699
>the budget for BvS was about $450mil
It was $250mil for production and $200mil for marketing (which is never included in these things for other movies), most of which is probably already paid back with sponsor deals.
They're not gonna lose money.

Then why Johnson pushed production back to rewrite the second movie the moment he signed his contract (which stipulated he had right to do so)?

tbf Gilliams script sounded pretty shit.

>>
>>81024063

I think his quote is taken out of context (Snyder's).

Gillian gives zero fucks about the original material and his adaptation showed it. Snyder meant he wanted to keep out of the hands of people who respect the source material. (Even if he fucked it up himself by missing the point of it)

The point of mentioning Black Widow is that over the course of 5 movies Marvel introduced 4 "main heroes" and 1-2 "minor heroes" all prepared for Avengers.

WB is trying to introduce 5-6 main heroes in just 3 films, and a seventh in the movie that's the collab. It's messy. Marvel gave each of its big heroes at least 1 movie to intro as a solo so people are used to them. Batman and WW are just crammed into a Supes sequel and Aquaman, Flash, Cyborg aren't even getting solos to intro them before JL hits.

>>81023472
Russos did Welcome to colingwood, which is a fantastic fucking movie with William H Macy. See it.
>>
>>81024181
This is an over correction.

Okay yeah. Sometimes a legitimate fucking artist like Gilliam is a bad choice for adaptation because his own creative vision is going to overpower the source material.

That doesn't mean one should hire a fucking hack.


At the end of the day, Tim Burton's batman was more good than bad, and probably had as big an impact on the character as frank miller's TDKR.
>>
>>81021764
Nolan personally recommend him for the role.

Snyder was the only one up to the task of creating a Superman film against the clock for the legal right issues.

He probably decided to take on the "Feige" role.

This is the reason Marvel is so good. Comedy directors understand things like narrative tension, dialogue pacing, character. Then you just get good choreographers for the action. Director takes a back seat for those parts and people love the action because they care about the characters.
The you put an action guy like Snyder in charge and you just get big dumb action no one cares about for two hours and forty five minutes.
>>
>>81021764
think transformers. Critics shit all over it but they still sell.
>>
>>81027659

Calling Snyder an action director a longshot

Miller is an action director when he wants to be, abrams and that guy from the fast&furious movies too.

Snyder is a "visuals" director. He constantly attempts to make a visually shocking 2 hour trailer.

>>
>>81028691
I don't think that has been in doubt.

Its definitely going to make money, but it is a movie so costly with so much hanging on its success that even "just" making 800m would be a failure for WB, even if that recoups the investment twice. Also would put in doubt the entire plan ahead that hinges on Snyder's vision.
>>
>>81022873

Marvel has a good producer in Feige.

Also, the comedy background helps in another way.

Pacing.

Effective commedy requires good timing, which results from good direction/edition.

The result is that the movies end up having steady pace, which is why you can make AOU, which is about as long as MOS, and doesn't feel it.

Take it this way. Because DC movies are crap, they are basically separate from the comics and don't really change them in major ways.

Meanwhile, at Marvel, they are butchering their comics to be more like MCU and to work as a marketing ploy for the next movie.

It won't flop or make small profit if it won't hit a billion that's not how it work. The point is if BvS won't hit a billion then it will be a huge disappointment and a harassment for WB and DC.

I will say that if BvS don't hit a billion then we will have a long delay for DCEU.

I'm a Marvelfag, I really am, but I was genuinely hoping this movie was going to be great.
Seriously, I get nothing out of seeing things that other people enjoy turn to shit.
I really hoped DC could have their sprawling connected universe, but with talks of another reboot, cutting movies all together and movies getting delayed by months it even years, I just feel bad.

I didn't expect BvS to do well, the trailers didn't look promising, the rumors that circulated about WB concerned with its quality and success, the "MARVEL FANS TOO DUMB TO GET THIS MOVIE" shit, none of it added up to a good outcome.
But 33%?
I've had kidney stones I'd rate higher than that.

Idunno, at the end of the day, company wars just seem like pointless pissing contests and you just have to think about the people who were really looking forward to this movie.

As a fellow Marvelfag, look at it this way. Imagine a world where Avengers underperformed, Whedon was kicked to the curb, and then a real director came in and blew us away with a GOAT Ultron movie. That's what this has the chance to be for DC. Snyder gets taken out early, and he's not around to get his cancer all over everything like Whedon did. This might just be a blessing in the skies

I haven't been keeping up on BvS very much lately. What's this about other pitches that don't resemble Superman?

You know what? I agree now.

I haven't seen it yet so maybe my mind will change, but WB/DC are trying to build a cinematic universe that could rival Marvel's but if the first two movies are getting mixed reviews with BvS getting even worse reviews, then maybe they just need someone to step in. If Suicide Squad does better critically, then WB really needs to re-evalutate their relationship with Snyder. He can cut the commercials for the movies but he needs to stop being the man who's basically setting the tone for the DCEU. You have an Oscar award winning screenwriter and this is still the reception? Nah something is fucky here.
