ok this is where DC fanbois come in and "ackshually...." me to death

but fuck man, wtf? I mean I kinda get it. The rock wants to bootstrap up a DCEU despite the fucktards at WB consistently fucking it away. Maybe these were the only characters they gave him access to....but...

So we get waller back (and of course the post credit superman) with a suicide squad type except, they aren't a suicide squad they are the justice society? the JV version of Justice League?

I don't know about anyone else but I'm fucking sick of Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad bullshit. They've had 3 movies now if you count BOP.

Nobody gives a fuck, not really. We want Superman, Batman, Justice League, Wonder Woman, Joker, Brainiac, Darkseid.

Just saw it, I thought it was actually pretty good. Loved all the creative death and destruction and the action camera was really well done. As others said, all the actors were solid, not a lot of cheese, no wokeness. I viewed the JSA as bad guys honestly, with their bullshit preserving stability / not killing anyone message in regards to the mercenaries enslaving the people.

hawkman being a stand-in for falcon is like... the most superficial of all judgement calls. i mean, i guess if you don't know anything about either character other than that they both have wings and are race-swapped in the movies as black men then maybe you're right, they are the same character.

but that's basically about the only thing they have in common.

Had a bit of a pre-MCU superhero movie vibe to it, albeit with better action. Skateboard Kid in particular had it feeling like something out of the late 90s. Still, watching the Rock fuck shit up was good fun.

Umm, the JSA has been around a long time. Like 1940. JSA were cool.

"Discount Marvel Characters".

Ryan Reynolds Ugh GIF by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment
Yes. Not five below. Not dollar tree. Not even family dollar. We talking dollar general, probably gonna catch hepatitis or get in a shoot out in the parking lot, discount ass off brand rip off superhero team.

Race swapped for identically effeminate black men you mean? Yeah what a total fucking coincidence they went that direction. If marvel had cast matt damon to play him dc would of cast fat damon.

Is Atom smasher the new version of The Atom? I really only know of The Atom from the JLU cartoon.

Such a great series

Was ok. I'd love to see more super speed combat, like it showed in the start where it basically looked like he was teleporting to each guy individually. I don't know enough about DC to really comment on the heroes themselves. I thought the actors themself were fine(bronson was great), except the dude who grows, he was just awkward(especially anytime he was alone with the wind chick). I was confused by the "shazam" stuff, considering I just saw a preview for a shazam movie itself, but that is just my ignorance of DC it seems. The skateboard kid and the crowd just made me groan at the cheese.

Is he weak to that blue mineral? Like some weird example of kryptonite?

But they are all a carbon copy of marvel characters, powers, personalities, mannerisms, special effects, even their fucking jokes and dialect? Discount Dr Strange, Kirklands signature Antman, GreatValue Falcon, and I guess a young Storm. Grats you brought out one character that Disney Marvel doesn't have yet....except Halle Fucking Berry already played her 20 fucking years ago in Fox's fucking X-Men so yeah, it still a fucking rip off.

I don't give a fuck who was first or who copied who in the damn comic books. Marvel beat you to the fucking Cinematic Universe by over a decade. Make the characters fucking different if you want anyone who isn't a diehard DC fan to not immediately be distracted by how fucking discount your team of superheros are. Your Antman is a clumsy goofball paul rudd look-a-like who borrows his suit from an older, wiser scientist? oh fucking really? Ohh fake Dr Strange's mirror dimension spells are transparent gold not transparent silver, really changing it up there aren't we? how about he duplicate himself and use whips of magic to hold down the bad guy in a shot for shot scene for scene rip off of the thanos fight on Titan? Look i've liked aldis hodge since the leverage tv show, and I can tell that the screen writers liked him in that too because they said "find me a skinny effeminate black man to play a straight man with metal wings, just like anthony mackie. Make the wings gold instead of silver i dont wanna get sued"

Get the fuck out of here. The movie was fine, even the stupid kid, except for the faggot ass copy cat team of joeblow "hurr durr we're the good guys stop killing people."

The MCU has like 40-50 heroes at this point. Saying DC can't use any heroes with similarities to Marvel ones is one of the dumbest takes.

It's also not by "a decade" Iron Man was 2008, Man of Steel was 2013

DC pretty much created most comic characters and to call them out for using their own IP Is silly. Dr fate has always been more interesting to me than Dr strange

well over a decade. This movie, you know the one we're talking about? The one where the rock is trying to do an end-run reboot of the failed DCEU? You know the movie we're talking about? it came out this week, in 2022. You can tell time, can't you?

Yes I can and I fucking did. If you piss away your IP for over a fucking decade while someone else comes along, who apparently stole all of your characters down to the fucking mannerisms and way they speak? And uses them to successfully make movies to the tune of nearly 11 billion dollars in box office sales across 33 fucking films? If your rival beats you to the punch by so much and for so fucking long that they are able to establish the most valuable franchise on fucking earth while you are still pissing away rebooting and recasting batman for the nth fucking time?

Yes I and everyone else who isn't a fucking retard will call your ass out for "ripping off" marvel movies. Never heard of the concept of first to market? Bet you're still crying about betamax huh? go fuck yourself.
effeminate?

I take it you've never met either actor in person or seen them in anything where they weren't required to play straight man? Here's a hint, they are the same person, yaass qweeen...

I could swear the hawkpeople have like a dozen different origins going on in the comics--reincarnating Egyptians, aliens, regular people with wing tech, fuck, there's probably a birds-turned-into-people origin in there somewhere, etc.

You said Marvel beat them "To the cinematic universe" not this one movie, so don't be a complete faggot and pretend you said something else just because you're an aspie retard who loses their shit when proven wrong.

Everything else you said is equally retarded.

Marvel did beat them to the cinematic universe by over a decade and counting my man. They've already scrapped Justice league, that shit was aborted upon release, there is NO DC cinematic Universe. So it's been 14 years and counting. They were in the process of killing off all the main characters and replacing them with womyns until they got bought out. Maybe, just maybe this movie plus the snyder cut of Justice League getting a cinematic release may actually mark the beginning of a DC Cinematic Universe.

If this kick starts off the revamped DCEU then it will be 14 years. If they keep fucking around and pissing it away it'll be longer.
