One possible explanation for the failure of batman v superman: Oversaturation of dark and gritty movies/series?
Or because its shit
maybe it failed because it was bad
>>69032260
It failed the same way someone won a million dollars instead of 10 million dollars.
>>69032260
>Oversaturation of dark and gritty movies/series
Fucking what? Everything has been bright and quippy for the last five years.
>>69032260
>failure
It is a triumph on an artistic and intellectual level. You're doing a disservice to it by using the lazy labels "dark" and "gritty".
The spectator with an open mind will discover that the movie is rather uplifting and sincere.
>>69032340
This
The budget was 250mil? And it grossed just sub 900mil?
Nothing worse than shills trying to create pity for a product that had already made a shitton of money.
>>69032379
>Everything has been bright and quippy for the last 3 decades but it's only bad now because it's not Bruce Willis or Arnold Schwarzenegger doing it
fixed
>>69032459
400-500mil
It failed for a number of reasons, it being dark and gritty is one of those reasons. The dark and gritty may work for Batman but Superman is supposed to be more colorful, heroic and inspiring.
>>69032450
G-guys, help me out here. I legit can't tell what's autism and shitposting anymore. I need to get out of here for a while.
>>69032459
That budget doesn't include marketing and shit ton of other things. BvS didn't become profitable until it hit around ~800mil
>>69032260
Or maybe it's a bad movie?

>The dark and gritty may work for Batman but Superman is supposed to be more colorful, heroic and inspiring.
yes, these are the two biggest super HEROES in the world and Snyder made it so they want to murder their threats instead of always finding a way.
that's the sole reason captain america is more loved right now.
I think it may be an oversaturation of bad movies
>>69032560
>we need to make triple our budget or else it's gonna be a massive failure
Do you really believe this?
Anyway it's not like it's going to make millions more on home media sales. And you still feel pity towards it? Christ...
>>69032615
Stupid.
>>69032615
And you consider this an example of good writing?
>>69032615
Stuckmann is writing comics now?
>>69033020
When did I say that, look at the post I was responding to, not hard to find the common thread
>>69032260
dark'n'gritty is definitely over saturated but it could have still been successful if it wasn't overwhelmingly bad.
>>69032260
It failed because it simply wasn't that good. I don't know why there are so many threads trying to analyze why it didn't do as well as WB wanted it to. It's really that simple. It just wasn't that good.
>>69032260
>failed
Go outside once in awhile famalama
>>69032615
Superman was a goofball who spent most of his time tricking Lois into not thinking he was really Clark Kent
Keep your "inspiring" and "symbol of hope" away from superman as clearly you have never read his comics
>>69032648
Captain America has 900 other movies acting like a commercial for his dull flicks
Here is a surprise...no one reads comics , no one cares about comics
>>69035487
I have no idea what your problem is, and I bet you don't know either. Stay mad at whatever imagined slight you dreamed up because you lurked superdickery one day.
>>69035487
Nobody cares about silver and golden age Supes anymore which is sad really.
I bet a campy batman/superman tv show would be a massive hit.
>>69032615
Superman is confirmed MGTOW

Such a failure

Don't talk to me like you read superman stories ever again
>>69035763
why is superman such a dick
>>69032615
> comic literally about how shitty the DCU is at the time because it was dark and edgy and trying to get to a more cheerful time

Sounds like my life, but everyday

So...Thirstday?
>>69032260
Daredevil was released at the same time and that's dark and fuck. It was infinitely better than the mess that was BvS though.
>>69036363
kek
yep thirstday, err' day
>>69032260
I blame more a lack of understanding on how the characters work. Fans can see right through that shit if you fuck it up.

That's how I think it went. Reviews probably affected normies. Internet plebs who spout pseudo-intellectual drivel regurgitated what their youtube reviewers said and didn't watch the movie as posted how terrible it was everywhere so that affected box office. Agree/Disagree? Did reviews effect Box Office?

He's serious and I agree
>>69032648
Cap kills people.
>>69032324
WHAT?! NOOOO.
It's a deep, lyrical masterpiece that ignorant plebs who just like colorful marvelbabby shit didn't get. Snyder is the master auteur of our time.

Pretty much.
>Competing with Marvel
>Man of Steel got poor reviews
>Came out around Age of Ultron
It did fine overseas. Domestic was the problem. And Americans trust reviews more than their own opinions.
>>69032260
It needed more action desu but they already crammed the film to jump right into justice league.
