| Doe 03/18/21 2:46:26 PM #35 | Wutobliteration posted... really? How so?Can you define what aspect of Justice League was particularly more dark and serious than Avengers? The Justice League I remember was put together by the same director who made Avengers. He was asked by Warner Bros to color correct the film to make it warmer and vibrant. He included comedic reshoots to brighten the tone with stuff like Wonder Woman lassoing Aqua Man to talk about how terrified he is. That's what Doom_Art is talking about in terms of filmmaking by committee (besides the reality that Synder's project itself only exists because of WB snapping their fingers in anticipation of digging into "cinematic universe" money before the well dries). --- |

| Doe 03/18/21 2:40:44 PM #26 | Wutobliteration posted... And so what??? We never saw Black Widow having a solo flick, nor Hawkeye. We just see them do a bunch of fancy action scenes, help out with Ironman or another main superhero and suddenly they're relevant and considered substantial?? We never even got much of a single backstory on these two. Hawkeye was especially tossed aside and then suddenly appears as Ronin in Endgame with literally no context given whatsoever.I'm gonna be honest with you. I literally forgot Hawkeye is in the first Avengers movie. Avengers is still a much better film. --- |

| Doe 03/18/21 2:37:30 PM #17 | Wutobliteration posted... Whenever people call JL or even BvS as 'rushed' because the individual characters didnt get their own solo movie first, oh no... I point back to Civil War, literally the defintion of a rushed movie. The movie was indeed rushed since the Russo brothers had to quickly turn it from what was meant to be a solo Captain America sequel to Avengers 2.5Civil War is an easily digestible movie while Batman vs Superman has 3 hours of runtime and is still inscrutable. The main characters of CW are Captain America and Iron Man, who the audience already know intimately. Neither Black Panther or Spiderman are the central focus of Civil War, nor do they feel like they absorb excessive amounts of screentime. The film works out because it's well-written. --- |

| Doe 03/18/21 2:31:00 PM #12 | Avengers was built off the backs of four or five films of characterization. That's 450 minutes of material before The Avengers' opening scene. Avengers didn't spend a significant amount of time introducing its characters because people already knew them, and if someone didn't, the writing was plenty tight enough to allow for them to piece things together as the action happened. Contrast Justice League. Its prior source material includes Man of Steel, an awkward Batman vs Superman movie that fails to introduce Batman beyond "it's Batman, but he shoots guns and is angrier", and Wonder Woman. Realize that Superman is dead during Justice League and BvS doesn't meaningfully contribute to Bruce Wayne's characterization that much. That leaves us with Wonder Woman, which... takes place all the way back in WWI. So there really is a VERY barebones preparation for this teamup movie. They need to introduce Aquaman, The Flash, and Cyborg in one movie, none of whom are as familiar to audiences as the characters who ACTUALLY got films. In a genre where the typical introduction time for a major team member is an entire film. On top of that they have to build their team dynamics, interpersonal conflicts, and have a villain that's doing villainous shit and needs to be stopped. I realize this topic is bait but whether or not Snyder's cut "fixes" JL by stuffing in all the shots the editor threw out is irrelevant to how people experienced the theatrical movie as a product. --- |

Think about how much money is saved by not bringing the water in the pickles with the pickles. Saves ton of money on fuel and lets you ship more pickles. --- |
