Stating "xx-xx is the worst thing ever made" is typically an exaggeration, claim or overstatements stemming from opinions and expression. That's hyperbole.
Dude. YOU put up a pic of a quote of somebody who said it was "perfect".
As usual, you're missing the context of the conversation. You said how you weren't surprised that things are exaggerated
"in here" about how certain posters are claiming it's the best superhero movie they've seen. All I said was that reaction isn't exaggerated because social media is buzzing and using those exact words
(as seen with the example I've provided.) People may be exaggerating those claims to get their point across how much they like the film, but the idea of people saying those things aren't exaggerated. It's being said and not just in here.
As you say, "Opnion".
NOW you're getting it
.
And, I am tired of CBM's over all.
Oh, please, when GL was released, it's first weekend could also be described as "a massive hit".
Yeaaaa, NO. Here was the Box Office Report for Green Lantern:
Box office report: 'Green Lantern' wins the weekend with a dim $52.7 million.
It wasn’t quite the brightest day or the blackest night for Green Lantern, which took in an estimated $52.7 million in its opening weekend. That’s good enough for a first-place finish, but it’s still a disappointing showing — the franchise-baiting film has a $200 million budget, and came equipped with an expensive marketing campaign.
Words like "dim" and "disappointment" are not described as "massive." Sorry.
When you come down to Earth you will realize that EVERY DC movie was more of a hit than WW.
Since we're on the subject of comparisons to Green Lantern (lol) Wonder Woman's OPENING WEEKEND
(dom; int) surpassed Green Lantern's entire GLOBAL RUN. Nice try.
You listen too much to critics and you are way too caught up in bandwagon to be taken seriously.
You're right. That must be the reason why I dislike more than half of Marvel films that are rated high by critics and absolutely love two DCEU films that are certified rotten on Rotten Tomatoes. After all this time, you don't know what you're talking about if you call me a bandwagoner, lmao.
Find the quote where I did.
Don't care. Sorry, M-man!
So, why even take them seriously? I don't....espeiclaly political pundits.
That's the point. v and I said a hero like Wonder Woman is ready to have her time to shine and is a pop culture icon, regardless. The critics said it couldn't be done. We never did. We always believed. Now? It's a reality and the CBM genre will be better for it.
You , V, and the people you guys quote on the forum.
So, since reality doesn't agree with you, you are canceling it and substituing your own Typical.
The only "reality" in liking films is your own reality. Movies are forms of art and all art is subjective. There's no way to categorize any of it and it basically comes down to the individual. In other words, the entire population can despise Batman v Superman but that still translates to no fucks givin' because reality is, I like the movie and that's all that matters. It's all individual subjectivity. I don't need other people to like things for me to like things or vice versa.
I didn't.
I never said that.
I never said that, either.
I never said anything that related the two movies..
I never directly related the two movies.
Bro, I was generalizing this entire thread. Who said what or what you said doesn't matter in the point I was making.
But, if WW failed, I would say that the entire DCEU would be in trouble.
Common sense and v and I have said the same over and over.
Well, first of all, WW hasn't done 'gangbusters'...that is silly exaggeration.
Holy fucking beating a dead horse, Batman!
DC needed WW to turn things around to be taken seriously again. If that didn't happen the DCEU would be in the shits with JL coming up.
Common knowledge and something that was discussed as such.
..and enormous pressure on JL to over perform....a thing DC movies DO NOT DO.
With Wonder Woman doing as well as it's doing, the pressure is loosened off of Justice League. JL needs to perform and perform well (again, all obvious statements that doesn't need to be said outloud) but Wonder Woman provides a certain level of health for the DCEU that it didn't have before
(to which they still cranked out the films slated anyhow, which means DC/WB is serious about the DCEU and are willing to adjust accordingly if need be. All great signs.)I really don't care about Aquaman. Seriously.
And people didn't care about a talking Racoon, either.
IMO, if you went to some middle class neighborhood and knocked on doors and asked who Harley Quinn was, most have no clue. It is NOT a household name.
Considering the LARGE amounts of trick or treaters going from house to house, door to door last October then yes, I DO consider Harley Quinn a household name. I love Harley (boinginging) but even I was sick of seeing her costume
( which depended on the costume wearer) You just don't know until it happens.
In order for things to "happen" things need to get made. WB is making it a point with their DC characters to do just that.
Maybe Marvel will just tire of all of this and kill off her character.
Cowards.
So, you are admitting that Marvel did a better job at a hero vs. hero movie than DC did? Because that is exactly what happened.
Again..bad with context while also putting unnecessary words in my mouth. You said
"Marvel is doing what Marvel does regardless of what DC does" which isn't the case because The Russo Brothers AND Kevin Feige himself said they scrapped the solo Captain America 3 film for Civil War in response to Batman v Superman. Their words, not mine, which means Marvel does in fact pay attention to what DC does. You should know better by now that you've moved the goalposts way too much in the past to fool us into conversing in a conversation about who did things better when that was never the intention, so it won't be needed.
RIP Adam West.
