It wants so badly to be viewed "like" the comics or cartoons but at the end of the day, it is not. It's overpaid degenerate Hollywood actors playing pretend in cosplay. There's a reason superhero movies did their own thing for so long because they realized the cinematic medium is inherently limiting so they took the base of the stories and characters and adapted them in a way that fit (hence the black suits in the first X-Men, among other examples) but this and Deadpool and Wolverine just prove why they were right the whole time to go their own way. It just doesn't work. It's embarrassing and awkward and only works for the momentary novelty of going "OHHHH THAT ACTOR WORE THAT SUIT WOWWWW" and then realizing he looks fucking stupid. Same thing with this movie but in every aspect. The same film but animated would've landed amazingly, it would've only taken a tenth of the budget you paid for the actors to play pretend to make an amazing animated movie out of this. Comics and cartoons are the only "real" mediums for DC along with video games. Movies can never compare and the more they try to be like the cartoons and comics (which they can never) the more apparent this becomes. I thought it was MEH, despised what they did with Jor-El but other than that, I was mildly amused and then forgot most of it by the end of the day.

I appreciate the gesture, but cinema is cinema and cartoons/comics are cartoon/comics. Let's respect the mediums and not devalue them by trying to make them all into a hodgepodge.

>The user argues that live-action superhero movies, especially recent ones like Deadpool & Wolverine, fail to capture the essence of comics and cartoons.

>They believe these films rely too heavily on star power and nostalgic costume reveals, which come off as awkward and superficial.

>The user contends that comics, animation, and video games are the proper mediums for DC stories, as film is too limited to faithfully adapt them.

>They found the movie forgettable overall, disliked the portrayal of Jor-El, and feel that trying to merge cinematic and comic/cartoon styles only weakens both.

what the fuck does this mean? movie turtles have colored headbands and raimi man doesn't have web shooters. both are not comic accurate.
Gunn's Superman bends over backwards to include any silly and stupid comic book trope to trick people into thinking this is "comic-accurate" but this is a movie, it's a different medium and so the comic book stuff ends up looking stupid and forced. MCU Iron Man looks like he does because the silver age "yellow thighs and red chest harness" design looks stupid when you take it out of its 2D realm and try to force it into a world of textures and layers.

Web shooters are more realistic and Garfield and Holland have them. TMNT color codes are from the cartoon, and more goofy than uniform red

I didn't like the movie but I think you're autistic and wrong.
However, yes the supes costume was awful. From the side he looked like he was wearing a miniskirt because the shorts weren't tight enough. Between that and how he's a bitch that gets his shit pushed in the entire movie, it was an embarrassment for the character, I agree there.

Buddy this happens every time a new capeshit movie drops and it's because people know they're more likely to get reactions to their post if it's a brand new thread than if it's just noise in an existing one.

Yeah it was a pretty bad movie ngl

Posers who don't even read comics will pretend "This is the real superman guise" but really it's like a really bad high school drama with adults wearing spandex.

Mr. Terrific and Guy Gardner were the only things about it that felt real. Everyone else was playing a character.

Do you mean silver age? You retarded fuck, not that it matters as this modern seething tech billionaire interpretation of lex this movie did and that 99% of the population is familiar with didn't actually exist until the 90s.

Idk, Aquaman is traditionally one of the major JL characters. I can't imagine he's just not going to show up eventually.

Granted, we haven't seen any rebooted characters from the DCEU, Superman and his supporting cast aside. But I do hope we see him eventually. Same with Shazam.

Why don’t you people ever acknowledge how Irin Nan had a ton of different costumes between the silver age and 2007? The same guy who designed his then-modern comic armor in the 2000s also designed the first few movie armors.
