Time for you to practice being surprised: "HBO Max with ads will cost $9.99 per month and launches in June."

Then don't.
See? Easy.

Monker wrote:Wow, Marvel is just ripping on DC now. First the Superman and Batman "jokes" in Eternals...and now the "Two Faced" and the "Flash" kid writing his book called "Flashpoint" in "No Way Home". it's just too funny. Basically a perfect Spiderman movie...I even liked it and I'm not that much into Spiderman. And, all the Disney+ shows leading up to this and Doctor Strainge 2, WandaVision, Loki, this Spiderman, even a bit of Venom, all using the MultiVerse...
Monker wrote:And, it sounds like Gadot is on her way out at WW...the one casting that almost seemed perfect and she may be gone soon. WB's backlash against Snyder casings and distancing them from the Snyderverse, it seems.

A "perfect" Spider-Man film according to who? I'm sure it's better than the other two, but I've seen plenty of criticism (all of which you'd write off, I'm sure).
The Eternals didn't make the splash they hoped it would. Chloé Zhao cites Zack Snyder as an influence. I'm sure that's painful for you to hear.

Monker wrote:Perfect according to me. It was all fan service. It may be another 2billion dollar film....during COVID.
Monker wrote:Eternals is OK for what it is. Don't care about the director. Just funny that they make digs at Superman...and that Spiderman makes digs at Flashpoint. DC is becoming a punchline to Marvel's jokes.
Monker wrote:WW3 is her last DC film. There is even talk that they are replacing her in Flash.

That's what some people are criticizing. It's all fan service the way The Force Awakens was.

And yet The Batman will be a huge hit and there's nothing they can do about it. Zhao said Ikaris is "their Superman" in The Eternals. Punchline...or homage?
Wonder Woman 3 completes Gal's current contract, yes. But if she doesn't continue as Wonder Woman, they're not recasting her as soon as she grabs the door. People like Gal as Diana and she won't be a quick and easy replacement.
Supergirl is in The Flash. Not Wonder Woman.
LOL...it's just a deeper and deeper hole. No wonder this thread is dead.

Flash also isn't erasing the Snyderverse.

It's dead because there's still dead time in between now and the merger with Discovery. It's dead because the last big DC event, they barely had anything to show with Black Adam and Flash because those films just got done shooting and they could barely put out a trailer. It sounds like DC is establishing a new timeline where pocket universes exist, which is everything. Nothing is being erased, just new timelines being created. We'll see what they do but there's going to be a ton of content to pick and choose from.
Nothing what DC will do right now won't reach Snyderverse levels of excitement
but that man can break the internet and garner more hype posting a Thanksgiving turkey with Final Crisis in the background. Just gotta see how things unfold. The merger should close by May.
Monker wrote:Force Awakens, and the sequels as a whole, wasted their nostalgia characters...not even including them all in one scene. Kylo Ren did more to build Rey's character than Han/Luke/Leia.
They seemed to be so focused on passing the torch to a new cast that they forgot to write a good story and stick with it through a trilogy.

Monker wrote:Nope, I read it was in the Flash movie. It may be the Flash movie is an attempt to reboot the DC universe and get rid of the Snyderverse altogether....so they can move on. In fact, it may be "Wonder Girl".
Monker wrote:So, all that is to your liking; Bat Girl, Super Girl, Wonder Girl?

Monker wrote:"300 Rise if an Empire" is horrible....unwatchable for me. Even "300" hasn't aged well with me. When I saw it in the theater, I thought it was great but it is so over the top it is silly and the special affects simply haven't aged well at all.

Is this the part where I get to tell you Zack didn't direct the 300 sequel?
Yes, Zack co-wrote the screenplay and was one of the producers, but it's still based on Frank Miller's sequel GN titled Xerxes. If you didn't like the GN, you won't like the movies. (The same goes for Watchmen.)

You don't need to know the Dune books to enjoy the NEW Dune movie. You don't need to read Marvel comics to enjoy the Marvel movies. In fact, Guardians of the Galaxy was a very obscure comic book, from what I understand...and it become one of the most popular franchises. An exception would be "2001: A Space Odyssey"...but only because Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubric created the movie and book at the same time, creating the story simultaneously for both...so it's best to experience both. One without the other leaves a lot of holes that need explanation. The sequel 2010 book and movie stand on their own. In fact, there are some CBM's out there that most people don't even know are CBM's. The fact that most people don't know shows how reading the CB is NOT essential to understanding the story in even a mediocre movie...this is just an excuse that Snyder fans are inventing.
