He was annoying and superfluous.

>>149401413 (OP)
>superfluous.
he provides a source of krpytonite after its been established that all of it in the world has been destroyed and provides superman with a means to escape after his powers were neutralized by a lack of sunlight
you couldnt take him out without altering the plot a fair bit

>>149401413 (OP)
Third favorite hero in the movie. Hope they keep him for justice league.

>>149401451
Parasite would've been better

>>149401413 (OP)
i don't read much Metamorpho, but is he usually supposed to act so....meek? from what i have seen of him, he's kinda "tougher", isn't he? felt weird seeing him like this, even if he was locked up for a while

Classic Gunn move to make a character into a goof or a dweeb just because he thinks it's funnier that way.

>>149401451
The amount of exposition needed to make this make sense is part of the problem with this flick. Show don’t tell definitely applies to cinema or at least it should.

>>149401413 (OP)
>He was annoying and superfluous.
Half of the cast was. Gunn can't direct movies about single characters, or serious moments without undercutting them with a shitty joke because he's an emotionally student pedophile.

>>149401479
>"alright you are in"

>>149401451
Metamorpho can only synthesize elements present in the human body and he can't cause nuclear fusion, they should have used Firestorm.

>>149401413 (OP)
Honestly didn’t mind him. Great to see somewhat obscure characters like Metamorpho make it into big movies. Though it was weird how normal he sounded. The few comics I’ve read that he’s in, I’ve always heard a more gruff sounding voice coming out of him.

>>149401583
Actually it's said that the limitation dissapeared and now he's able to use any

>>149401483
how would Parasite even fit?

>>149401592
yeah that was my bother too, both him and Mr Terrific sound very different to how I imagined their voices to be

>>149401413 (OP)
So Stagg industries exists, and his son is usually stolen by his FIL. Did Stagg give Joey to Luthor?

>>149401688
How comes Sapphire looks like she goes shopping in pyjama bottoms in the movie? She's supposed to be a classy heiress.

>>149401483
And Mercy/Metallo would'v been better than Engineer.
And Sam Lane would've been better than Rick Flag Sr.

>>149401592
>>149401726
It's possible Metamorpho lost his confidence/nerve not only after his accident, but seeing his son in danger. Sapphire might be cut off from the fortune thanks to Simon being petty, hating that his daughter hooked up with a freak

>>149401668
Mr. Terrific’s voice wasn’t too bad. He was really serious sounding a lot of the time. For Metamorpho, I was heard like a less rough The Thing, if that makes sense.

>>149401533
>Show don’t tell
they only tell us that he is the element man and that he can synthesize any element
they then show us that he can grow kryptonite to imprison superman
they tell us the things that cant so simply be shown, but they do also actually show what that means

>>149401533
>The amount of exposition needed to make this make sense is part of the problem with this flick. Show don’t tell definitely applies to cinema or at least it should.
Are you fucking retarded?

>>149401730
I liked the fake leaks about this being a Superman vs The Elite movie with The Authority in place of the latter.

>>149401838
>>149401843
It’s better story telling to just have it be the last kryptonite on earth than for a character no casual audience member has ever seen before be introduced with a convenient power and kidnapped child, leaving aside the fact all kryptonite on earth has been destroyed but was present there at one point. It’s lazy poor story telling for nerd points. Fanfiction.net writers were more subtle

>>149401868
that might still be in the cards

>>149401413 (OP)
WRONG
the weakest part of the movie was Krypto.

>>149402101
The dog at least had an excuse to be there (the female audience).

>>149401483
>>149401730
As much as I loved the movie, it would've been nice to see more actual Superman characters. I get they're worldbuilding, and in a way that feels really organic and interesting. But it does take away from the 'Superman' aspect a bit.

>>149401868
That said, this also would've been cool too. I wouldn't put it past them to do this as a sequel though.

>>149401868
>>149402148
I can see the World's Finest movie have Authority as the foil to Superman/Batman, who by the end decide to form a better, independent, morally good team of superheroes, leading into Justice League

>>149401413 (OP)
I liked him. It was kino how he was nice and did the right thing :)

>>149402837
Damn, I didn't think of that and that would actually be a really cool, fresh idea too.

>>149401413 (OP)
Him making a Sun was a good scene. Reminded me that Superman despite being the strongest really relies on his friends and the goodness in people to save the day.

I think they had him sound meek so he would be less intimidating after switching sides.

>>149402148
>nice to see more actual Superman characters
I was vaguely surprised they had the paper team there in the finale

>>149401818
Funny, I always read him with a more normal but slightly distorted voice. Kind of like a Gary Cole sounding voice with a warble/flanging effect.

>>149403260
Did they even do anything besides Lois and Jimmy?

>>149402885
yeah, I dont mean to sound like a shill but Gunn probably knows his shit well and has plans for things. we know the Authority film is still happening for one, because even in Superman press interviews the actress for Engineer kept mentioning the team

>>149401583
That would require Firestorm to get laid and be willing to make Kryptonite for Lex , both feel way less fitting than giving Metamorpho a slight change in power.

>>149402122
So no excuse then.

>>149401504
Felt like I was watching a scene from Regular Show. This movie is the most stoner TV surfer adjacent capeshit I love it.

>>149401504
Rex is usually more outwardly confident but hides his insecurities and sadness well. Honestly I wouldn't have minded the meekness if he was more confident during the finale after stopping Boravia, it'd be fine for him to be acting that way imprisoned for however long

>>149403918
They were funny, I guess. Nice character decorations. Did Not Perry Black guy even get any lines?

His voice sucked but he was good otherwise. A deep voice would have made him seem more sinister before Superman convinces him to help, which would have emphasised Superman seeing good in everyone. Instead you just kind of know he's going to help cause he sounds like a nerdy teenager... Which is also at odds with him apparently being a father.
His abilities, fights and overall role was good though.

>>149401504
He's super boisterous and confident despite being a mangled mess in the comics, even showing off to other heroes and being cute with his powers. The original run makes it seem like his disfigurations didn't harm his self confidence at all. Probably helps that he got to keep his girl despite all that.

>>149401818
>For Metamorpho, I was heard like a less rough The Thing, if that makes sense.
That's very close to what I imagined too.

Did he have a son in the comics?

>>149401583
When was that limitation added? In the original run he's essentially constantly reviewing the periodic table and turning into shit like chlorine gas which I'm pretty sure has no basis in the human body.

>>149401413 (OP)
I liked the scene where he murdered the goons in iron man suits by melting them with acid. He was so polite about killing them in such a violent way.

>>149405119
Yes, during the events of the Terrifics, but he got retconned away by someone by the time of Ewing's Metamorpho run.

>>149401533
This so hard. I hated how this stupid movie felt the need to explain EVERYTHING. The worst offender was the squirrel rescue...sheesh

>>149401583
He made fucking antimatter in the Worlds Finest issue I read that features him. I don't think anything he did in this movie is out of his scope.

I disagree, it was smart to introduce an obstacle that would become boon if Superman stuck to his convictions in believing in everyone.

>>149404918
Yeah, prob put on the backburner. Probably going to end up in the latter half of Chapter 1.

Probably smarter to fast track Wonder Wo.man

>>149401726
Her baby was kidnapped? She was probably just lounging around the house depressed because her baby was kidnapped and his father was missing for who knows how long

>>149405085
/co/ autists not getting the point again

He was supposed to be a meek and unassuming guy despite his monstrous appearance and power. That was the point. His voice was the point.

>>149405145
Chlorine is actually one of the elements that comprise the human body. 99% is made of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, calcium (which is a METAL as it turns out, did you know that? I didn’t), and phosphorus. Then .85% is made of sulfur, potassium, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. The last .15% are all trace elements apparently, some of which are very fucking important like iron or zinc but don’t take space enough in the body for me to easily google them

>>149405841
I hope they do WW, her legacy needs to be freed of the DCEU taint faster than Batman or anyone else (after Superman of course)

>>149401413 (OP)
Gunn massacred my boy

>>149401504
Rex was a fun loving freak and former Solider of fortune. He was a direct parody of the woe is me monsters in marvel (thing and hulk)
They later gave him more of a gruff attitude in the JLI days

>>149407578
Looks like her massacred his girlfriend more to me, lol

>>149406472
Is the entire periodic table in there? Cause that's presented as his toolkit in his original run. Ive never heard this limitation regarding existing human body composition.

>>149406305
There's no bait and switch. He's just silent then speaks like the first time you get a good look at his face.

>>149401413 (OP)
Mmm, I like him, I thought his design and CG were cool. So you are wrong, I'm sorry.

His character in Barry is such a memorable performance I was surprised how low-key he was here.

>>149407558
I think they realized that WW needs to happen around the same time as Superman and Batman. Paradise Lost is an interesting idea but it was never going to be enough. I'm surprised they didn't just announce a new Wondy right off the bat.

It's probably going to embrace all the Golden and Silver-Age wackiness, along with the post-Crisis stuff too, like Superman. Give me something like Earth One but way better, and with aspects from the Perez, Simone, and Rucka runs and I'm good.

>>149407702
I doubt DC will go with refrence Silver Age Wonder Woman, unlike Superman or Batman The wacky, weird, stories of the time didn't really have any long-lasting impact and were really disliked by her fanbase.

>>149407727
Well, the Golden Age at least. I want to see Amazonians with plenty of advanced technology, fucking kangas, and all sorts of weirdness, in addition to the mythology aspect.

>>149401413 (OP)
this pic reminds me of the meme bald face of happy and sad.

>>149407618
I don't think Unnunnoctium (108) is present in the human body, or roughly half of the periodic table if we're being real

>>149401726
Based frenchies.

>>149401726
>Rex is a certified hag lover
Gunn basado
