Hinakuluiau 12/12/17 11:38:32 PM #7:	Apocalypse sucked because of Fox. Justice League sucked because of WB. So, the studios. Notice how when Fox let them do what they want we get Deadpool and Logan. The former being quite a bit of fun and the latter being one of the best superhero movies of all time. Look at Wonder Woman, where WB let Patty Jenkins do what she wanted and let the chemistry between Gadot and Pine flow through. It went well (or well, better than the rest of the DCEU). Look at the MCU. You get a lot of the same movies with a paint over them. A lot of the details change, but the larger points are the same from movie to movie. People like it I guess, but they don't actually reach the heights of Logan. C'mon. There are literally people who think that Guardians 2 was a good movie. So long as these people exist we're not going to get too many superhero movies like Logan. --- There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD <cite>Hinakuluiau posted [p:892116680] in Explain wh...

Now that somebody did it right with good results, everybody will start doing it. I hope not. Mortal Kombat paved the way for violent content in video gaming, but that didn't mean that Mario and Sonic needed to start severing limbs and ripping out spines. Some things need to more or less remain accessible to young audiences. If Marvel wants to do an R rated Deadpool and a PG-13 Spider-Man, that would be for the best. The same goes for DC and some of its heroes. If the only way they can generate interest in Aquaman is to give him a hard R film, so be it. As for a character like Batman, he remains a poplar figure among children despite attempts to make him darker. It's okay for him to be R rated and animated, but the mainstream live action films featuring him shouldn't exclude someone who might wear a Batman costume to go trick-or-treating on Halloween. Especially not after the Lego Movie received greater acclaim than any of the recent live action DC offerings. <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:892119227] in Explain wh...

I feel like viewers such as yourself are one of the reasons why Disney keeps pandering to the lowest common denominator. I disagree. Also Disney has nothing to do with either of these movies. Apocalypse's only failure was...Apocalypse himself. Not very accurate on his design or voice or anything like that. Logan was just...meh the whole time.

Just a handful of heroes/characters like The Punisher (which has a violent Netflix series now) and characters like Deathstroke. This sorta logic lead to Man of Steel after the Nolan Batman trilogy. Just because something fits one property doesn't mean it'll fit others. Chasing a trend doesn't always work. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:892182377] in Explain wh...
