NTA but off the top of my head

cavill obvs
cw guy
routh in that crossover ep
nicolas cage actually shot in a suit but moobie was deep fake
and now david

so I guess that’s five

capeshit

Who fucking cares?

These are our Greek myths.

No but it will flop, cost Gunn his job, get WB to sell off the DCU, and cause something like the 3rd reset of the DCU in 6 years.
INB4

snyder sar

Not a fan of the snyderverse apart from the BVS warehouse scene. I just don't have faith in Gunn to make a good Superman movie or a good DCU

I’m trying to remember if gunn ever actually wrote a fart joke before. slither maybe? fat bloated girl? (You) tell me

I just don't trust Gunn to understand why people like Superman, and it was the same with Snyder.

This shit is doomed even if it's good

I won't matter because the only Superman movies that have done well at the box office since Christopher Reeve have had Batman in them.

The problem kind of is that people just expect Superman to always win and not have any problems. There just aren't ever stakes with him. I think him just being a good guy and saving normal people is what the best Superman stories are

I'm open to the possibility.

But if it happens, I'll be furious.

They have him cry over xitter memes in this one, Gunn isn't gonna give you that

What if it's good but it's not really popular?

I don't know a ton about comics, but I watched the 2000s cartoon and apparently that was him POWERED DOWN? Because yeah yeah he's fighting Darkseid and the New Gods and whatever else.

Hell even that random comic that introduced Harley Quinn to the comics, she was given a magic Poison Ivy potion because I guess EVERYONE just had basic super strength + reaction time + healing powers in the 90s?

I'd rather he have weaknesses (not just kryptonite) and scaled-back powers. Instead of just making the threats more powerful to match him. All that Dragon Ball Z stuff is tedious.

Tom Welling (reprising

???

Kinda had hope with him being bloody in the snow like he was trying to help but then Hawkgirl and that dragon thing showed up and it's just well fuck, it's everything I don't like about DC comics all over again

Peacemaker and GotG 2.

Oh, then it's an underappreciated gem and I noticed, me. You'll hear back from me in a few threads years from now.

what if superman but with... le QUIRKY ROBOTS!

Hilarious.

I think you can have your cake and eat too with Superman. You can show him saving regular people and build up major threats around them while showing that Superman has vulnerabilities. I just don't think Gunn or Snyder were or are capable of that kind of storytelling.

Some kid tried to touch the Superman at the top of the Superman ride at Six Flags in like the 90's and fell out and died. Why didn't Superman save him?

it may not be popular because superman is old and boring. however I feel the success of andor among other oscar bait content about white rich people is what I am calling a new genre of antifacore. entirely useless propaganda meant to placate the masses while their imperial new western order takes hold. it feels nice hearing mon mothma say heck the emperor all while your rights are removed and there’s literally nothing you can do about it. the antifacore is ultimately an escapist fantasy. possibly, come july, when the riots and arrests happen, the general audience will be soothed and engaged by the farm boy who is truth justice and the american way

All those extra characters aren't giving hope that this going to be good. Their appearance makes me think Gunn got bored or he's rushing the build up of the DCU. Either way it's not good. Superman hasn't had his own movies since MOS.

Why are you talking about Star Wars in a Superman thread?

It's like they assume people will think a movie JUST about Superman is a bad thing. I mean All Star did a good job throwing in some other characters but the story was still mostly about Superman and if you didn't know who some of the other superheroes were it didn't add or detract from the story

It will be the cut throat island of cape shit, and it's funny because it should've been anyone of these latest marvel shits.

the Derpy Lantern killed all my interest. Gunn's dumbass stuffed a lantern into a Supes movie and picked the gayest one.

to illustrate a broader contextual which defined my thesis visa ve superman’s pending popularity in the zeitgeist of entertainment culture, which is evidently a futile endeavour on a mongolian basket weaving forum curated to traffic propaganda instead of the veneer of truthful interrogative discussion

I'd watch a Terrence Mallick Superman movie

That panel just mogged all the superhero movies I've ever seen. Maybe except kick-ass

If a Superman standalone movie won't turn a profit at the box office the DCU with the obvious exclusion of Batman won't turn a profit. You use a solid Superman movie to gauge your ability to produce a solid silver screen JLA series. If Superman on his own fails just stick to making Batman movies. Simple as.

He’s spent like a decade making his Jesus film so we’ll have to settle for that.

Y’know, It’s hard to imagine THIS being the last straw for capecucks when you’re literally going to get the most over bloated movie ever to be made in Avengers Doomsday & Secret Wars. THOSE will be the movies that destroy superhero cinema for good. Superman will be tears in the rain compared to whatever Marvel confection is brewing atm

It would be kind of cool to see those movies bomb at the box office.

and that's just the confirmed characters. undoubtedly there will be more. Gunn had zero fucking faith in a standalone Superman and that's what makes me believe he'll fuck it all up. If he can't trust himself to make a good Superman movie that turns a profit what fucking chance does he have with the 3 ring circus he filmed.

Then do the Batman movie FIRST next time then do Superman. Oh fucking wait, they have no idea how to pace that. God Marvel is retarded but DC is a borderline joke

no. capeshit will be destroyed long before Doomsday drops out of the Feige's starfish. The DCU and MCU have left a pretty long trail of turds that didn't make much money at the box office. After Superman and his gay ass friends and the fuck tastic foursome inevitably bomb Doomdays day will come and go like a fart in a tornado.

I hope so. I’m tired of this slop. No more superhero bullshit. It’s fantasy garbage & it’s gotten so repetitive to the point where I’d rather watch anything else. I’ll watch sports before a MarvelDC Whatever flick.
t. haven’t seen thunderbolts*

This is exactly what will happen when the DCU gets sold. Except it will be Batman, Batman, Batmnan, tease somebody else, no not yet, batman, okay Superman. And another hollyweirdo will fuck up Superman and it'll be Batman, Batman, Batman . . . . .

....why are you in a capeshit thread? Go back to the tranime kano thread. or pleddit. you pick.

The best superhero comic stories are standalone anyway. Avengers was a pretty cool team up movie but it got old so fucking fast. Only comic nerds like that shit

It will probably just be ok

Because I’m a self hating comic nerd who hates when normies appropriate our culture. Real comic geeks know superhero’s suck, so let me cream up this threads ass a little, shithead

I legitimately did not like the Avengers movie. I watched on DVD around the time it hit store shelves and I thought it looked cheesy and cheap. The only Marvel movies I like are Tom Jone's Punisher, Spiderman 1, and Spiderman 2.

This is my guess. it's like no one can make a good Superman movie. Fucking Smallville is a better Superman story than most Superman movies.

don't care. didn't ask. pleddit is down the hall to the left tranny.

Let me tell you a coupla three things:

First of all, Superman only appeals to Americans and a multi hundred million dollar budgeted blockbuster NEEDS a big chunk of international box office to be successful.

Secondly, superman is a Mary sue with very limited options for an interesting plot that haven't already been predictably done to death.

Thirdly, where's the star power in this shit? Not even a fun little cameo from someone big name?

Fourthly, the cgi in the last few DC superhero films since suicide squad has been nonsensical currycode dreck.

Enjoy your men in costumes

Fuck they could do so much better with Punisher. it's ironic that my 2 favorite superheroes are Superman and the Punisher, they're complete opposites

Batman is public domain in a few years.

Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh are public domain and no one has done shit with it. Can't wait for the Batman C horror movie.

dude who thinks he's a chick and watches shitty east asian cartoons says something

a D tier Batman horror movie would be kino
Anon if you only knew how sad you sound defending these superhero movies.

i would bet half of those characters appear in a montage and then never again

I feel like they were more morality than popcorn entertainment

I kinda wish Gunn wasn't putting himself so upfront and center.

He thinks he's a hot shot. So sick of cocky Hollywood types ruining everything.

I think the last 5-6 yrs of Marvel already did that but thanks for following along I guess.

Because they were made by moral aryans instead of degenerate jews

greek myths

aryan

I disagree. The jumping in a single bound thing is stupid. Too much like The Hulk.
Flying is iconic for the character.
Man of Steel flying scenes? Loved them.

yeah, because of how shitty it will be

Adobe After Effects (standing in for Mr Cavill in Peacemaker)

He was also in Shazam!

I feel like they were more morality than popcorn entertainment

A lot of those myths don't really have direct morals and many aspects are for entertainment. Lets take Hercules Storytelling for entertainment has long been a part of human history.

greeks

not aryans

They had both, modern jewish shit has either entertainment alone or add neomarxist propaganda
