I thought the Aquaman segment looked pretty neat, and they might make something fun out of the movie.

They had super pleb taste about the characters though, and Rich (the comic book guy) looked like he only read a few Batman comics.

I figured people would be excited for a Flash movie.

Casting Khal Drogo is probably THE biggest step you could ever take towards making me care about Aquaman. And I am still light years from caring about Aquaman. I'd care more about Hulk 2 or even fucking Iron Man 4.

RLM are the living embodiment of the smug, detached Gen-X ethos.

I'd venture to guess none of them has felt a single sincere conviction about anything since childhood. They exist as polyps upon the colon of culture, satiating themselves on the perceived failures of others (i.e. "The Man") while adding nothing new to the discourse aside from ironic complaint.

They're a group of insecure, lost, rapidly aging burnouts who silently believe they could do a better job of making films than the professionals in the industry. Yet they lack the ambition and ability to actually enter the very industry they're obsessed with. They choose instead to fuck around and make student film piss-takes well into middle age.

They are awful, awful people. I've met thousands just like them, and the last thing we need is for these people to gain any attention for their navel gazing.

Please, /tv/, do not aspire to become anything like these people. Theirs is a lonely road leading to depression and a life devoid of real purpose.

I hope they disappear and their disaffected followers stop subsidizing their lifestyle. Perhaps that would force them to do something productive with themselves.

Because they've already done Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman - the Trinity. They haven't proved yet that their B-listers and C-listers can work as well as their A+-listers. Marvel showed that you can take a bunch of literally whos and turn them into ticket sellers. Green Lantern was a failure and BvS showed that even the most well known superheroes of all time on the screen don't bring anything but a mediocre box office performance if they're in a bad movie.

I understand that Aquaman gets shit on a lot, and can actually be pretty cool, but there's NO FUCKING WAY they'll be able to translate it to the big screen.

Aquaman is just going to be gruff pirate man, and blow up a submarine with his trident, or punch a shark that he can't control, because that sounds "cool".

The same could've easily been said 8 years ago about Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Ant Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, and so on. But Marvel pulled it off because they have people in the studio who know what the fuck they're doing.

Same can't be said for WB.

I hate to say but it's because it was made Marvel, and they know what they're doing. Seriously they took one of the shitiest comics (guardians of the galaxy) and turned into a success, they literally made it better than the source material. And they took one of the most boring characters (cpt america, ant man) and turned them into huge franchises. Like who they fuck actually cared about capt America before the mcu? He's like superman level of boring.

He's extremely recognizable within Superman's mythology. I don't necessarily know that I'd say he's as recognizable as Lois Lane or Robin, but if you have any passing familiar with Superman in any form of media, you'd probably know who he is.
>>
>>67867797
You put all the x-men like a single character and then divided most of the Superman/Batman characters, that seems fair. Also, who the fuck didn't know about Captain America before MCU?
>>
>>67871379
He's a major part of the Superman mythos in every incarnation of the character with the exception of BvS and MoS. There have been billboard top 40 songs written about him. He's not as recognizable as some of the other people on that list, but to say he's a "literally who" is fucking retarded.
>>
>>67867797

before MCU
Spider-Man
X-Men(like a lot of them, come on, movies just came out, big 90s craze)
Hulk
Fantastic Four
Avengers, most notably Captain America(granted, Iron Man and Thor were B-listers)
Daredevil
THE MOTHERFUCKING PUNISHER, REALLY BRUV? three movies, iconic skull, US army's favourite
even Deadpoll was well known to some(internet meme mostly, sure)

Before DCU
Batman(yeah, and all 8 supporting characters, but we're not naming all the X-men)
Superman(again, Lois, Jimmy or LEx do not deserve separate mention)
Wonder Woman
Aquaman & The Flash were known through nerd jokes
Green Lantern & Green Arrow sort of
Teen Titans and I'm already pushing it really

I get being DC biased, but both companies had their fair share of iconic characters. If you ignore movies/cartoons -Trinity was the most important.

Yes, but Superman's overall mythology, and his core side characters, have been a much bigger part of pop culture overall than Spider-man's. And that's not to say that Spider-man himself isn't recognizable, but a character like Eddie Brock is much less so.

Jimmy Olsen has appeared in every form of adapted media featuring the Superman character for longer than most people currently residing on Earth have been alive.

Correct. Marvel took 4 years to go from Incredible Hulk (2008) to The Avengers (2012), and had 5 movies in-between to set up each of the characters. DC had 1 (one) movie before they crammed in Batman, Wonder Woman, Doomsday, Lex Luthor, Flash, Cyborg, and Aquaman.

I'm 25, turning 26 next month, and I know Venom and Carnage. Venom was a prominent figure in the animated 90s cartoon (which was GOAT), and Separation Anxiety is one of the best Spidey comics ever made. Anywhere you saw Spidey merchandise in the 90s, you saw Venom. You underage fuck.

Deadpool is newer than Venom, and everyone knows him too. Sure, Venom is newer, but considering he's arguably the best villain Spider-Man has, and the fact that Spider-Man is arguably the most popular comic hero, should mean everyone knows who he is.

Yes he is and I wasn't even thinking about those heroes. DC's supernatural side has always been an area DC dominated Marvel in. It's a shame they never really gave Constantine and Swamp Thing real focus
>>
>>67874494
I won't discount your point on Spider-man, but I would qualify it by saying VERY arguably. Less arguably if you're saying he's Marvels most popular hero. As far as Venom goes, yeah he's definitely super popular with our generation and comic book fans in general, but my parents certainly don't know who that is, and my nieces and nephews probably don't know who that is either. Conversely, ALL of them know Joker, Penguin and Catwoman.

Honestly not being a dick here, but specifically why is Aquaman so strong? I get the army thing, and the ability to be a complete OP beast in the water, but what would he be able to contribute to the Justice League on a mission like fighting Doomsday or Lex or some shit? Does he have additional powers or is he just a useful dude to have around in general?

They would think "who the fuck is this?" during that dream sequence, then, when Wonder Woman watches the Flash video, they'd recognize the actor and think "oh, that guy we saw earlier is the Flash".
>>
>>67874984
he's a god
>>
>>67874984
Depending on who's writing him, that whole "controlling fish" thing can sometimes extend to include any life form that originated from the sea, which pretty much includes all earthbound life. Also, because he needs to have the physical durability required to survive the pressure of the entire ocean, he also has invulnerability to things like machine guns and has no trouble lifting cars and throwing them several city blocks. It's silly, but it's capeshit, so whatcha gonna do.

So yeah, I wouldn't mind him playing for my team.
>>
>>67874984
>but specifically why is Aquaman so strong

Atlanteans live at the bottom of the sea so they had to be strong to survive the pressure also he has a magic trident. His wife is more powerful though since she can control water. She could solo the league in seconds if she wanted to by either draining them of all moisture, flooding their lungs or putting water on the brain

>>67875290
I love bonus powers a lot more than regular powers.

>>67875239

No he isn't. he has borrowed power from Poseidon before but Wonder Woman is the only god

It's not a conspiracy, it's common sense. Disney isn't paying them, but they do get basically 100% of their income from fanboys, so pissing off fanboys is literally akin to biting the hand that feeds. It is the same reason they gave Dark Knight Rises such a glowing review despite it's overwhelming flaws.

And no, I'm not saying this is the reason they trashed BvS, but to say that they review Disney Marvel exactly as fairly as they review shit that does not carry the comic-con stamp of approval is fucking bananas and should be evident to anyone that watches half in the bag on a regular basis.

I think it has something to do with his skin being adapted for extreme underwater pressure or something.

>>67859737

Aquaman movie could be huge. Because the fact 95% of it takes place underwater (if they do it right) necessitates it being something different from the run of the mill superhero movie.

And what did we learn from Deadpool? Different is good.
>>
>>67875981
>Because the fact 95% of it takes place underwater (if they do it right) necessitates it being something different from the run of the mill superhero movie.

This is my thinking as well but with DC running things I fully expect the movie to take place 90% on land and look bland as fuck.

Even if it did take place underwater a couple of things have me worried.

1. Aquaman can talk underwater but I have no idea how this is going to be presented in a movie that won't be goofy as fuck. The idea of Mamoa having a long monologue with a warbly underwater filter over makes me cringe.

2. Action scenes underwater are generally boring because everyone moves so slowly. See the action scenes in Thunderball that are sped up because of this and look like complete shit. I guess they can have some action scenes in an underwater city or something but that seems like a waste of the concept.

3. Aquaman can breath underwater but obviously Mamoa can't so they'll have to film at least the close ups greenscreen on a set and make it look like he's underwater which could look really cheesy if they skimp on the budget.

Even if they can solve all 3 of those things they'll still have to think up an interesting story.

I like Mamoa though so I'm rooting for it to succeed.
>>
>>67876151
>quaman can talk underwater but I have no idea how this is going to be presented in a movie that won't be goofy as fuck

Just have it sound like it did in the Cartoon or just have Atlantis have a shell around it also like the cartoon did and avoid talking in the ocean altogether
>>
>>67875903
It's not about brand loyalty to DC or Marvel, it's about fanboy faggotry. Fanboys LOVED the Nolan movies. When the early reviews for Dark Knight Rises said it didn't live up to Dark Knight, critics literally received death threats. It was major news that ended up getting more or less drowned out after the Aurora shootings, but it was news none the less. Compare that to BvS and the DCEU in general, which has been reviled by most fans every step of the way. Fanboys don't like Snyder. Fanboys hated when they announced Affleck. Fanboys hate the new Joker. Fanboys hate almost everything about it.

And I'm not saying that BvS is being treated unfairly, the movie fucking sucked. But I am saying their Marvel reviews tend to be pretty soft ball compared to their reviews of normal movies.
>>

Time to make your argument then faggot. Your "they pander to fanboys (that aren't me)" conspiracy is stretching thin anon.

Why is Cyborg such a heavy hitter in the Justice League now?

Geoff Johns is a creative consultant on these movies and he wanted Cyborg in. It's as simple as that.

I don't really mind the character though. If they had to have a black guy he's better than Steel or John Stewart.

>Aquaman can talk underwater but I have no idea how this is going to be presented in a movie that won't be goofy as fuck. The idea of Mamoa having a long monologue with a warbly underwater filter over makes me cringe.

I think most of the talky bits will probably take place in and around Atlantis, which if I'm not mistaken kind of looks like a sealab 2021 meets Game of Thrones affair.

>Action scenes underwater are generally boring because everyone moves so slowly. See the action scenes in Thunderball that are sped up because of this and look like complete shit.

They'll fake it, I'm sure

>Action scenes underwater are generally boring because everyone moves so slowly. See the action scenes in Thunderball that are sped up because of this and look like complete shit.

Again, most of it will be movie magic, but boy howdy did that scene in BvS with Mamoa underwater look stupid. You could tell he was holding his breath, and obviously he was, but they
held on that shoot for 10 seconds too long. It was fucking ridiculous.

But yeah, it will be difficult to pull off, but if they do pull it off, I think it could be fucking cool as shit.

>for spidey i knew about doc oc and green goblin but neither are remotely on the same level as joker
Most of the list, hero or villain, isn't on the same level as the Joker. That benchmark means nothing. Your personal knowledge means dick-all. People know who Venom is. People know Magneto and Mystique from X-Men. Not to mention having people liked Alfred and Jimmy Olsen on the list but then not including people like MJ or Aunt May is just dishonest. I'm not saying MJ should be on the list, but all those supporting characters to one main superhero doen't mean dick. People aren't gonna see a Jimmy Olsen movie that doesn't have Superman in it just like the average movie goer won't be outraged if a Superman movie lacks Jimmy Olsen.

In what capacity? I said they pander to fanboys. You seem to be getting hung up on this Marvel v DC thing when that is not the issue. Nolan was popular with fanboys, so they gave DKR a pass. Disney-Marvel is popular with fanboys, so they give Disney-Marvel films a pass. Batman v Superman is not popular with fanboys, so they reviewed it accurately. It's not fucking hard.

>>67876929
I already told you critics got death threats from fan boys who hadn't seen the movie. If that doesn't tell you that Nolan films were popular with fanboys (which should be self evident to anyone who isn't retarded), I don't know what will. If you want sources...

Death threats by autists aren't proof that RLM changes their opinions because they think someone will come murder them. I was just asking for actual evidence that they've been inconsistent with how they treat movies based on whatever you 'know' to be the fanboy opinion.

It's pretty clear you'll convince yourself of this because you're just such a crazy fanboy.

Only an edgelord or a true casual would say that DC has no interesting characters outside of Batman and Superman. If you think a character needs to be super angsty and conflicted all the time, then I can see why they would think Marvel has better characters when 99% of their heroes are anti-heroes.

Honestly, I thought BvS was pretty bad, but I also don't think Rich Evans is a proper authority for comic books (or at least DC). The fact that he says every DC character outside of Batman is terrible should tell you all you need to know. He also sounds really unread on Superman in the Man of Steel review. He's a pleb, even in the world of comic books.

They're 100% right, Marvel gave each of their characters a movie before their team-up movie to let you get to know them as they were not that famous, unlike DC which expects you to care about Aquaman (and his brother hahahahahaha) from that one 30 second clip that looks like a l'oreal commercial.
