Getting Snyder, Nolan and Goyer for the new Superman movie.
>>81406564
>Directed by Zack Snyder
>Wrote by Chris Terrio and David Goyer
>Story by Zack Snyder and David Goyer
>Next TDK
How?
>>81406564
The writing was on the wall, you refused to read it and set yourself up for disappointment.
>lets cut 30-40 minutes of a film that's supposed to kick start the next 5-6 years worth of movies
Why did the studio allow the film to balloon to 3 hours in the first place?
Rewrites. If you need to rewrite a script that close to production its gonna be shit. No way around it.
Shitty director. Good cinematographer but he sucks at narrative which is unfortunate given how plot heavy he made this movie.
Also his retarded fucking wife picking Eisenberg to play Lex. She needs to never be involved in another DC move.
Thats basically it. Everything else about the movie was good but those two things.
Its still an equal parts good and bad movie and didnt deserve the scores it got fron reviewers
>>81406564
Snyder.
Goyer.
Baaaaaad.
>>81406564
too much into one movie, trying to appease two groups of people (trying to appeal to "too dark!" but only superficially) and losing even more on both sides.
The people that hated this movie REALLY hated it and spent their time ensuring no one else would watch it.
>>81406564
I was accusing of trolling by DC fans for posting
-Got to wikipedia

>It was supposed to make billions
Is 1.5 billion considered billions? Because that's probably what WB was expecting/hoping for in their more ambitious estimates. 1.2 in their lower estimates.
>It was supposed to be the next TDK
Oh come now, you can't say something like that. Only carnie barkers and corporate yes-men can say things like that. Even if Nolan were making it no one can make a claim like that. Not every Coen film is No Country For Old Men. No one could reasonably expect a claim like that.
>Terrio was supposed to save us
He was? How does /co/ even know about Terrio? Have you even seen Argo? Not a huge fan, myself. Rather slow and trodding.
>>81406614

Well I can't prove it, but the fact that the three last times this image was posted you jumped right in to claim it's falseflagging is suspicious by itself.
Also, your immediate responses give away that you spend a lot of hours on this board.
Just like the person who obviously kept creating the bvs shill threads everyday.
it fits.
This movie is the Jai Courtney of Superhero films.
Hollywood keeps pushing it in my face trying to make me like it, but I don't. For Jai Courtney we have far more talented good looking young actors in guys like Michael B. Jordan and Channing Tatum for that. And as for B v S, we have avengers, we have Marvel we don't need your knockoff grimdark bullshit.
>>81406909
Mad about what?
If you have to resort to "the director's cut will be better" you have a problem
That problem is Snyder by the way
How fucking butthurt can this 1.jpg person be?

I do spend a lot of time here, but when that guy posted that thread I was one of those telling him to stop jumping the gun.
I just can't believe people were that desperate to be right, oh well.
>>81406616
All of Snyder's films overrun and then have to be trimmed down. Hence the directors cuts. The guy has no idea how to pace a movie.
>>81406836
>That was false flagging m8.
Bull-fucking-shit
There were threads talking about how this was going to change cinema and be the best seller of all time for months on end. There was someone even saying it would be bigger than Force Awakens
>>81407160
>There was someone even saying it would be bigger than Force Awakens
I remember that talk. As if any movie this year was going to be as big as the movie that got the President to have stormtroopers in the White House and hold a family/military special showing on opening night. Episode 8 won't be as big as Force awakens never mind B S.

I look forward to Cyborg, Wonder Woman, Flash and strangely enough Aquaman.

They expected the film to make millions cause they see Disney and Marvel do it. The invest all this cash to make it produced yet they never actually sat down and looked at "how" Marvel became such a success. Parents and kids see these movies and bring in lots of the cash, instead they serve this film as grim dark so that no kid would see this, they play it in spring when you are typically not in season for grim dark films and your film holds characters that a lot of people in other countries have never really heard of.

Of all the things this movie did wrong, casting was low on the list. Not liking Eisenberg's Joker/Luthor is understandable, and Gadot's hokey acting can be awkward but even then she worked the part pretty well, especially in the fight sequence. Other than that, everyone was pretty spot on or impressive. It was poor writing at times that dragged down performances, rarely casting decisions or acting chops.
>>81406863

Zack Snyder. You can blame everything on the amateurish, and pretentious film making of Zack goddamn Snyder. Dude's a hack. I'm beginning to think 300 and Watchmen being at least watchable was a fluke.

>>81409706
This was a good movie. Batman was a crimefighter, scientist, and detective. Superman acted like Superman (finally). Wonder Woman seemed alright to me, but I don't like her very much so I wouldn't know. The plot works if you pay attention. The "problems" are so minuscule that they can be easily fixed.
>>81409808
I don't think you can call a movie smart when it has zero establishing shots in the entire thing which makes scene transitions incredibly jarring. It's ok to pull that shit every couple scenes, but to have a whole movie at it felt weird and unfinished.

Didn't you see the part with the "white Portuguese?" Superman was trailing Bruce and dropped everything once he saw the news showing people in danger, that felt like Superman to me. The plot does work, what was wrong with it? The problems I've seen were small things like transitions, which admittedly I didn't notice because I'm not an expert on film-making.

How the hell do you frame Superman for getting people killed with bullets? Rare bullets specifically traceable to YOU?
Why the FUCK would you be on the point of beating someone to death and then lay off when you find out their mommy had the same name as yours?
Why was Superman so mad at Batman for doing basically the same vigilante assault shit he does, anyway?
Why and how did Lex even have Zod's body? He didn't have any of the other Kryptonian artifacts.
What exactly was Lex's plan with Doomsday? He just lets him run rampant forever?
>>81410341
>Mopey
As opposed to the Superman that dances and laughs all the time?
He's a fucking stoic, m8. Get your headcannon out of here.
>>81408999
You will have to live knowing the only reason it did that much money was because there was absolutely no competition. Any other decent movie would have sucked the audiences, and DC fags would have to live with lesser known superhero movies stealing BATMAN AND SUPERMAN's thunder.
>>81410469
>He's a fucking stoic
You mean Batman right?
>>81410449
>How the hell do you frame Superman for getting people killed with bullets?
He was being framed for escalating the situation and leading to the bloodbath.
The traceable bullets was fucking sloppy, BUT, there's also a dead CIA agent. So you have a dead spook and terrorists killed with prototype military ammunitions and that is something the government WILL not want to flaunt.
>Why the FUCK would you be on the point of beating someone to death and then lay off when you find out their mommy had the same name as yours?
Because Batman is crazy/triggered by his parents. Also, it humanized Superman
>Why was Superman so mad at Batman for doing basically the same vigilante assault shit he does, anyway?
Because he was praised for it, or at least helped for it in Gotham. While Superman gets all of the flack.
>Why and how did Lex even have Zod's body? He didn't have any of the other Kryptonian artifacts.
Did you fall asleep? The other senator GIVES Lex all of that shit.
>What exactly was Lex's plan with Doomsday? He just lets him run rampant forever?
Kill Superman.
>>81408999
>implying that's good
The movie blew its load on its opening weekend and it got absolutely obliterated at the box office this weekend. It'll be out of theatres in 2 weeks to make room for Civil War. Stay mad.
>>81410449
1. They tricked the public into believing that Superman's presence escalated the situation (obviously this wasn't true). The bullets were perhaps a payment to the mercenaries to get them to actually go through with thre plan or insurance to make sure that the government won't try to get involved and perhaps get implicated.
2. Batman stopped when hearing the name, and afterwards when he realized that it was his mother ended the fight because he would be no better than Joe Chill if he killed Superman.
3. Superman believed that Batman's tactics were too cruel and that no one should be doing that to others, even if Batman is a human. If Batman's tactics weren't so cruel, perhaps he would have liked him.
4. Lex asked the government for access and traded a cherry jolly rancher for it.
5. Yes. He's kind of retarded, like he is in the comics. He only thinks "Kill Superman!" And doesn't realize what problems he will create in the long-run, especially if he succeeds.
>>81410469
>optimistic superman

AFTER he kills Superman, dude. Does Lex have any control over Doomsday?
>>81407146
I think I read the Russos only cut 5 minutes out of Winter Soldier
That movie had excellent pacing.
>>81410449
>How the hell do you frame Superman for getting people killed with bullets?
Jesus fucking Christ, how can so many people honestly be this retarded? That is not why people were mad at Superman. The people that got shot were just seen as a direct consequence and collateral damage of Superman deposing a warlord, not Superman killing them personally. People were losing their shit that Superman was now meddling with global politics and leaving bloody, chaotic uprisings in his wake a d blaming him for everything, which was Lex's plan all along.
>Why the FUCK would you be on the point of beating someone to death and then lay off when you find out their mommy had the same name as yours?
This probably is 2deep4u, but it humanized Superman. Until that moment Bruce had never thought of him as anything but an alien monster. Martha triggered Bruce's own childhood trauma and that made him realize Superman was just like him, a vigilante trying to do good. It cut through his feverish bloodlust and woke him up. Bruce started to consider Superman as a real person instead of just projecting his fear and cynicism on him.
>Why was Superman so mad at Batman for doing basically the same vigilante assault shit he does, anyway?
Because Batman was terrorizing and horribly torturing people and he was not cool with that. It's one of the most Superman type things he does in the movie.
>Why and how did Lex even have Zod's body? He didn't have any of the other Kryptonian artifacts.
Because the dude who was with Holly Hunter gave him access! It was directly shown in the film.
>What exactly was Lex's plan with Doomsday? He just lets him run rampant forever?
Kill Superman.
>>81409294
>Deadpool cost like 1/5 of what Batman v. Superman did and has made more by being true to the comics.
Not really, it made that by being much more entertaining. Comic accuracy isn't needed to make a good or bad, successful or bombing movie, because the movie is going to stand on its own. The theater isn't going to hand out comics to the viewers so they can see how accurate it is.
>>81410738
He thought he did. Of course he didn't, but Snyder and his wife have gone on record saying that Lex IMAGINED that he would have a connection to the monster.
>>81410738
He used his own blood to create him, I imagine Lex probably thought he could control him.
All of this 2deep4u and MUH RELIGIOUS SYMBOLISM shit I've been seeing in these types of threads for past week reminds me of the days when people claimed Evangelion was deep and not just Anno shitting things that he thought looked cool against a wall.

Thing is, you can make a comic book character work easier on film if you don't try to reinvent the wheel, and stick with what made it work on paper on the first place and with the added bonus of having a small but vocal subsection of fans that will become living billboards for the movie, because they see reflected the thing they love just in another medium.

>Serious people can't be optimistic
>>81412034
>DKR return fans who hate BvS say it's barely an adaptation at all
>DKR haters who hate BvS say it's an utter homage to the book
So which one is it?
>>81412034
It always is.
>>81412095
It's a fellatio, not an adaptation.
There was no Superman being Obama's buttboy, but goddamn did the producers loved old man bruce beating people and power armor batman vs superman fight.
Rubber Explosions, honest.
>>81411923
This is what confuses me. The hatred of the movie seems to fall into two camps most of the time, and those two camps hate it for literally the opposite and mutually-exclusive reasons. Half say it's too confusing because Snyder doesn't do a good enough job explaining what's going on, and the other half hate it for being too in-your-face and "obvious".
Surely one of those two sides has to just be in angry confusion.
>>81410045
today is sunday, anon.
don't tell me some of you guys aren't keeping track of reality either.....
>>81410128
>The problems I've seen were small things like transitions, which admittedly I didn't notice because I'm not an expert on film-making.
'synder apologist' here, been saying this since the beginning as well
>>81412333
"too obvious" because you literally see Superman descending from the skies with an heavenly glow behind him.
"too confusing" mostly because until the last third the movie is just a series of barely connected sketches.
Not really that mutually exclusive.
You know I really don't like DC, didn't like any movie besides TDK, hate the comics, but fuck this movie was great.
Atheists can suck dick.
>>81406564
i liked it
it was more enjoyable than most capeshit flicks
I guess it just wasn't what people wanted.
I'm glad they made it
>>81412034
That scene was dope though.
>>81409294
no offense no one reads comics
it was popular because family guy and two broke girls are popular
plus the Hot Topic Crowd likes deadpool shirts
>>81411881
>That's exactly what happens in the movie, just with more angst, plotholes and "Muh Martha"
This is what they mean by Marveldrones being too stupid to get it. They fight in the movie because Lex Luthor manipulated them into it. Lex Luthor has been gaslighting Batman the same way he's been gaslighting cripple-guy-who-blows-himself-up. And into doing the same thing. Dying trying to destroy Superman.
Superman is also being manipulated, but deep in his heart he doesn't believe what Batman's doing is right. Batman is doing what Superman is blamed for doing, interfering without government oversight. Except Superman is being framed, and Batman seems to enjoy torturing people on his own (again, because gaslighting).
>>81412451
>"too confusing" mostly because until the last third the movie is just a series of barely connected sketches.
Except it is from the very start clearly building to the climax where all the plot threads converge. Just because you do not immediately see the connecting dots does not make it confusing and badly done, it's intentionally keeping the details vague because it delivers a couple of important twists that make you view the entire story in a new light when you realize what has been going on.
>>81412565
>Lex Luthor manipulated them into it. Lex Luthor has been gaslighting Batman the same way he's been gaslighting cripple-guy-who-blows-himself-up. And into doing the same thing. Dying trying to destroy Superman.
this is where wonder woman comes in. boys are too busy fighting because of their blurry mental vision. all the women and men don't see each other as they are at the beginning. by the end women and men collaborate on equal footing
>wonder woman is lady justice
>batman and superman to either side of her
>>81412657
Nothing that happens has anything to do with Doomsday you stupid cunt.
>>81412657
This. There are many movies that structure themselves like this that are considered "artful" for doing so, and there are many, many more comic books that structure themselves like that.
>>81412721
Doomsday is a tool. He is not a character. He is purely a weapon. Doomsday is nothing more than an extension of Lex. If Lex brought out his power suit in act 3, you wouldn't say "Nothing in this movie built up to the power suit!!", but it's exactly the same. Only retards think Doomsday deserves more than the ending of a movie. he doesn't. He's a complete non-character from a shitty marketing campaign in the 1990s.
Honestly I can see this movie end up being a
>Hated when it came out but as time went opinions changed
case, that's how things went for the thing.
>>81410132
>>81410172
Which means the real number will be less than 680 million, that's always how it goes for BvS. Wow, this is beyond pathetic a movie about the great Superman and a fucking Batman won't even reach 800 million.
How can this shit even possible? Is Snyder a fucking genius in a retard way?
>>81412797
I just find it funny that Zack Snyder is "pretentious" for doing the same type of shit directors who are regarded as great do.
And no, I'm not trying to say Zack Snyder is great, I'm trying to say that anyone who views people like Kubrick as mavericks who transformed the genre should stop for a minute and realize that at least half if not more of the critics in his day thought he was a pretentious piece of shit as well.
>>81412721
Lex's entire reasoning for getting Zod's body and access to the ship is so he can fuck with Kryptonian DNA. Doomsday was always his backup plan if Batman failed to kill Superman.
>>81412816
He managed to make superman an even bigger joke than aquaman to casuals. That takes some fucking talent, no matter how you look at it.
>>81412777
>If Lex brought out his power suit in act 3, you wouldn't say "Nothing in this movie built up to the power suit!!", but it's exactly the same.
No I wouldn't because as awful as Lex was he was in the goddamn movie with screen time with the other characters and didn't show up for 10 minutes by accident to roar at the Justice League.
Dunno what i hate more, bad clint eastwood impression or voice modulator.
Can't he just talk? Like the other guy can pretty much go incognito and all he has to do is put a pair of glasses and not apply gel to his increasingly male pattern baldness hair.
>>81412816
Man of Steel was the first Superman movie to go beyond 500 million
No Batman movie went over 500 million before the dark knight.
>>81412797
I think it works better on repeat viewings. At first you don't know what's a dream, who's trolling who and so forth. I think the only things the movie could have done without are Lois' bullet subplot and the JL cameos.
>>81412918
>Still missing the point
Doomsday IS NOT a character. He's a weapon.
>>81412866
>I just find it funny that Zack Snyder is "pretentious" for doing the same type of shit directors who are regarded as great do
Skill and competency often play a big role.
>>81412777
doomsday represents:
>monsters as a trope
>mythic creature for hero to overcome
>cg monster in capeshit
>nuclear weaponry
>promethean fire, man's perverted use of knowledge
>perversion of power, man's unrestrained,perverted use of power
>the doubt cynicism and fear within all the movie
>dialectic anthesis to superman, they negate and provide us with a new thesis of hope
>>81410840
The difference is that Anno makes no secret that all the symbolism was just there to look cool while Snyder actually believes it
>>81412920
>The concept of inflation confuses me and I reject its existence!
Comparing nominal box office performances of movies across decades is completely and utterly meaningless.
>>81412919
I liked the voice modulator. Thought I was going to hate it when I first heard it.
>>81406564
>What went wrong?
When they hired Zack Snyder
When they hired Deborah Snyder
When accepted Eisenberg, Gadot and Mamoa
>>81412975
no, what BvS does is that it erases that very line
>>81412979
Then how far back do we need to go? no Further then Superman Returns?
>>81406768
>Bad writing
>Bad director
>Rushed plot
and a crap cast
>>81412979
Caring about box office at all unless you work for these studios is utterly pathetic. Who fucking cares?
>>81409515
>Make your friends go see Batman v Superman
I want to still have friends anon.
>>81412934
MoS also works better on repeated viewings.
>>81412970
You want to know why I'm pretty sure BvS will be regarded as "art" in the future?
Because you fuckign sat here with a straight face and tried to convince someone on the internet that the character DC created purely as publicity stunt to kill off their most iconic character when their sales were slipping is deep and significant.
If a piece of shit like Death of Superman can be regarded as "great" 20 years later, then I have no reason to think BvS won't as well.
>>81413049
Fans care, because box office determinants if you get a sequel or not.
>>81413023
You don't go back at all you stupid fucking asshat inflation is one way hill up.
>>81413023
Or just fucking use real figures. It's really not hard to google "adjusted for inflation", is it?
>>81412934
the JL cameos are important because it lends credibility to the twist that Lex was able to figure out everyone's identities ages ago and used that info like a true master manipulator.
>>81413049
How is box office not important?
>>81413081
Not every movie needs a sequel and the majority of sequels are bad.
>>81413102
I go by wikipedia
>>81413083
Then why are we talking about box office numbers?
>>81413005
I personally loved Eisenberg adn thought Gadot's performance was inoffensive.
But
>Mamoa
>Bad
Youv'e seen one fucking scene from him (which was good), and you're convinced he's one of the worst parts of the franchise somehow?
>>81409800
Which is even more depressing to think about when you realize 800mil is what it needs just to make back production costs, before you consider they need to make a profit somewhere in here.
>>81413072
i'm not trying to convince you of anything, snyder has already admitted that the movie is in part a deconstruction and what you're saying about doomsday isn't a secret
Can they stop pretending that Lois is doing anything and just replace the character to a blow up doll?
She doesn't do anything besides being fucked by Clark Bent and stating the obvious.
>>81413139
>I go by wikipedia
Which presents nominal numbers. Holy shit. Do you honestly not understand what real vs nominal means? Did you skip econ 101 in high school, m8?
>>81413175
>snyder has already admitted that the movie is in part a deconstruction
HOLY SHIT THIS REALLY IS EVANGELION AGAIN except the staff actually believes the bullshit
>>81413114
I never said it wasn't important, I just don't care, and neither should you. It affects you in no way and is not a measure of quality.
>>81413197
with a*
I just want to see Ben Affleck's Batman. He was arguably the best part of that movie and his talents will make Batman shine.
BvS wasn't nearly as bad as people are making it out to be, but it's looking pretty bad right now. I really just wanted to see him in future movies and I'm not really sure what these box office numbers and reviews mean in relation to that happening.
That warehouse scene is one of the greatest Batman things I've ever seen.
>>81410792
>Used his onw blood
Christ, people can't even control their children, much less something that's basically the incredible hulk who can shot laser beams out of his face.
>>81413175
Then I don't know what your point is. Doomsday deserves nothing, and him being introduced in the last half hour is no more offensive than if Lex had simply unveiled a big fucking gun in the last 30 minutes.
>>81413200
I didn't have economy in high school.
The one part that REALLY made me go WTF. (Besides the god awful Doomsday CGI and Luthor) Was now Bruce's parents took him to go see fucking Excalibur instead of Zorro.
Now I love Excalibur, I consider it to be the best filmed telling of King Arthur BUT it is not a kids movie in the slightest. Could you imagine the uncomfortable questions a 10 year old Bruce had for his parents?
"Dad what did Morgan Lefay do to Arthur?"
"What is the man in the armor doing to her?"
"Whos son is that?"
>>81413221
The problem is that he's a meathead who thinks he's being "deep" and artistic, but it just comes off as sadly full of itself with hacky symbolism. The guy isn't a genius, and yet there are people in this thread, literally trying to say that he's too smart for you.
>>81413127
Everthing after this are technically sequels.
Didn't like Man Of Steel, don't like Zack Snyder, but if you told me a month ago that this movie would do under a billion and lose to Deadpool in the domestic box office I'd have called you an idiot.
What a world.
>>81413268
They didn't though.
If you looked it said "Opens Wednesday"
>>81413268
They were seeing Zorro. Excalibur on the marquee was just foreshadowing to the end of the movie.
>>81413268
There was a Mark of Zorro poster as they left the theater.
>>81413268
I could be wrong but wasn't the Excalibur just something that was being advertised as coming soon to the theater rather than being currently playing in the theater?
>>81413268
They did go see the Mark of Zorro it's in the marquee.
And Excalibur Batman already happened.
>>81413005
Come on man Drogo wasn't even in the movie enough to be bad.
>>81413255
Bro. Do you or do you not understand what inflation is and how it works?
Here are figures of domestic grosses for all the Superman movies released adjusted for inflation. Notice how the order is staunchly different from what comparing figures off of Wikipedia shows.
>>81413244
Honestly, if Jared Leto Joker turns out great, I'll be hyped for the Batman solo movie and actively shunning eveything else, and try to fool myself into thinking it's a standalone.
>>81413273
>The problem is that he's a meathead who thinks he's being "deep" and artistic
Snyder strikes me as the kind of guy who would gather a bunch of arthouse/indies filmmakers together and try to gain their approval by making films the way he does.
>>81407036
>And as for B v S, we have avengers, we have Marvel we don't need your knockoff grimdark bullshit.
JL formed in 1960.
Avengers formed in 1963.
So not a knock off in that regard or any regard really considering they are going out of there way to be different from Marvel & The Avengers beyond the base idea of a Superhero team.
No YOU don't need the grimdarkenss.
Some of us fucking love it. And you can burn in the darkest depths of mother fucking hell for trying to destroy what others love just because it is not appealing to you, you selfish petty piece of subhuman trash.
>>81413382
>35 million adjusted for IV
Hot damn, what a piece of garbage.
>>81413382
>Do you or do you not understand what inflation is and how it works?
Sure I do, but I only took a quick glance at the box office numbers at wikipedia.
>>81413268
>Excalibur achieved moderate box office success while receiving mixed reviews. Although film critics criticized the film's plot and characters, they, along with other reviewers, praised its visual style.

The box office is everything, especially for something that is a Cinematic UNIVERSE. The box office decides on what direction it will go in or even if it will exist, do I need to remind of what happened with DC's first attempt at this with Green Lantern and how the reception to that ended up or what happened with Sony and Spider-Man? Remember that? Remember all those movies they had planned out, Like 3 more sequels, Sinister Six, Untitled Female Spidey movie, Aunt May movie, etc. What happened with that again?
And let's not forget Man of Steel which was supposed to have Supes be DC's Iron Man but underperformed and that's why we're never getting Man of Steel 2 anytime soon, he had to share with Batman and then die because Batman is now their new lynchpin. This is all because of box office you realize.
>>81413005
Jesse is not bad, it's Snyder fucked Lex's character up big time. Not sure about Momoa and agree about Gadot.
>>81413442
Alright. Your posts were just making it sound like you were confused by the concept and I was concerned.
>>81413399
I haven't seen anything that points to him being a bad Joker. His few appearances in the trailers and his acting talent should be giving comic readers positive vibes.
I'm extremely disappointed Batman v Superman turned out the way it did, but Ben Affleck is the best Batman I've ever seen. Hopefully it makes a lot of money and his cameo is worth it.
>>81413268
My parents let me watch Jurassic Park when I was 7 year old.
>>81413268
> Went to see Excalibur
> Not muh Zorro
Well, Batdad and Batmom took Bruce to see Excalibur in the original story, but it was sold out when they got there. That is why they opted to see Zorro (which aired at a slightly later time).
I could be wrong, but while Excalibur was the feature, I believe there was a poster for Zorro in the film. IDK for sure tho, snyder can't into backgrounds without extensive CGI. For all I know, it could have been an ad for cherry flavored viagra.
>Pic Related is who I'm excited for
>>81413175
>snyder says
At some point you guys are going to realize using him as evidence hurts arguments more than it helps because Snyder's a goddamn moron.
Abrams gets shit more readily than Snyder.
Momoa did a great angry blowfish impression, pls don't bully him so hard.
>>81413273
This. If Snyder's so smart why's he gotta convince his actors with push up contests?
>>81413484
I watched the second one at about that age. All I remember is running from my dad's TV to my mom's back and forth because I could only watch a little bit of the TRex attacking the camper at a time.
