I'm so happy this did well

>>149474275 (OP)
It’s only going to keep doing better

>>149474275 (OP)
i liked it

hope kino is back on the menu

I liked that this universe is already used to metahumans, makes it feel special somehow. Metropolis is basically Townsville.

Me too anon, seeing it for third time soon.

Me too man, sitting in a theater with people stoked to see Superman and his pals... a wholesome feeling

>>149474488
Agreed, James Gunn going for the whole lived in world Star Wars vibe was smartest thing he could have possibly done.

>>149474275 (OP)
Superman with his underwear on the outside... Krypto... Superman isn't a soulless sociopath that gives you the impression he's going to snap at any second and kill everyone... kino

from the moment he saves the squirrel I knew we were back

>>149474541
I knew we were back two fold
1. The saving squirrel.
2. When I was leaving theater there was this like 7-8 year old kid hyped as fuck over what he watched. Had his mom take a picture of him with the Superman poster.

>I want Superman to be lame!

This is why people will never take comic books seriously, the fans

>>149474275 (OP)
It will make less than Man of Steel

This was a breath of fresh air.

>>149474275 (OP)
Did it?

>>149474571
That's so cute

>>149474728
Man of Steel came out at a time when a studio making a superhero movie was an exciting novelty

>>149474654
You're the big fat lady on Pee-Wee's Playhouse. We're all having a good time, laughing and waiting for the King of Cartoons to take a cab over to show us public domain Screen Gems and then you waddle in, say the word of the day, and get all shitty when we scream real loud.

No intellectually honest person with a brain expected this not to be at least decent.
It was literally the movie I created in my brain as soon as it was announced.

>>149474728
A short stop on the long road to Success. The X-Men films never quit just because Last Stand, First Class, Wolverine Origins, and The Wolverine were of mixed or middling reception, and the various Marvel movies in the pre-Iron Man Age never stopped just because something was a big bomb once.

I'mma go watch it today.

Legion of Doom vs Justice League when? That's all I want.

>>149474275 (OP)
I'm not. I want modern superhero movies to die, so I don't have to see anymore dogshit synergy. I don't care about watching these movies at all and yet I still have to put up with them in my comics.

>>149474275 (OP)
Not gonna beat Fantastic Four

>>149474275 (OP)
I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like most critics didn't like it/thought it was ok (actual normal critics, not the culture war fags) while most regular people really enjoyed it. Personally I really enjoyed it, even with it's flaws

>>149475534
Imagine if the story of the Gunnpoint Universe is to be an Anti-Avengers and it builds to a supervillain team-up.

>>149474488
>Metropolis is basically Townsville.
Holy shit, it is!

>>149474541
Just read in an interview where he said test audiences were so against the squirrel bit he temporarily cut it to see what'd it'd look like, and immediately put it back. Test audiences were a mistake.

Superman stroking his Super dick

>>149475631
Lex plz, you're not supposed to have internet in Belle Reve.

>>149475593
I'm trying to think how many members they can get away with.
>Lex
>Bizarro (formerly Ultraman)
>Cheetah
>Giganta
>Solomon Grundy
>Sinestro
>Black Manta
>Grodd
>Captain Cold
>Joker
>Scarecrow

Basically 2 reps per hero, save Aquaman/Manta. Does that work, or is that too many?

>You’re assuming that everybody on Krypton is the same! - Gunn
Pistolas just confirmed Superman parents were revolutionaries and not every kryptonian will be a saiyan

My No.1 complaint with this movie is that they made Lex Luthor a twink.
My No.2 complaint with this movie is that he said that Superman is not his type, wich is clearly a twink faced lie.

With how poorly it's done internationally, I wonder of they're going to try and correct shit going forward, or if they'll just try and focus on the domestic market.
Maybe not waste so much money on marketing would be a good start.

>>149475780
There are way worse Kryptonians than Jor-El. The council was set in their ways, and Zod was an extremist

>>149474275 (OP)
>TheWrap reported that Superman needed to gross more than $500million worldwide to become profitable at the box office, but that it would need to earn around $700million to be considered a success.

>>149474275 (OP)
Why do you care so much? Do you have something personally at stake?

>>149474654
You'll understand when you get older

>>149475794
Lex is not a twink you fucking dumbass. Quit projecting your beta shit

>>149475811
The best way to get the international market is to make games and other media were people is invested in dc again
If Lanterns is god tier thanks to the hbo pedegree i can see DC gaining momentum again but overall people are just tired of normal capeshit.
Hope Gunn takes something like New Gods and turns into something like LOTR.

Of course you were because you are a paid shill. No one with a brain would like this ADHD paced filler episode crapfest that Gunn made and its not doing well internationally and will get its legs broken by Fantastic Four. Its a flop and Gunn's DCU will be gone in 5 years.

>>149474275 (OP)
Let's just see how it did compared with man of steel- OH FUCK! ACK!

>>149474488
It's very neat, we've never seen a live action movie really show a world entirely used to superheroes already. Worlds where random superheroes or villains can just show up because they also live in that world.
Closest we've come is the MCU, even then. A show like Moonknight, despite being very deep in the MCU's timeline, never mentions any other hero.

>>149474654
But... he *is* a bit lame. That's part of the appeal.
Sure he also kicks ass and is tough, but him being corny in a sweet way has been a substantial part of him since at least the original '78 film.

>>149476310
It's probably going to do 650, which is pretty good.

>>149474275 (OP)
>doing the same number MoS did in 2013
>well

Nigga, it's a flop.

>>149477737

Shame we didn't get this part. NTA btw.

No intellectually honest person with a brain would write like all those shills above. This is a disingenuous thread and i'm screaming into the void.

>>149477791
In what universe lol.

>>149477906
Are you saying you don't think it will do 650 or that 650 isn't good?

Nice reddit thread you got there.

>>149474275 (OP)
It's flopping internationally and most probably won't make as much money as MoS. Maybe people were OK with a dark reinterpretation of Superman but geeks and boomers cried hard because muh nostalgia and muh americana

>>149477893
parroting is an admission of defeat

>>149478182
It's trending to do 650.

>>149475814
Reminder that with each passing day, the theater cut of the box office money gets bigger and the studio gets less. In addition, international releases overwhelmingly favor the theaters, so even if it suddenly has a surge in Korea or China or whatever, as much as 75% of the box office money could be cut out from the actual amount of money that could make for it.

>>149474275 (OP)
So what's the next strategy Snyderfags will resort to now that the movie is likely to be a financial success?

>>149478240
So less than MoS and not even adjusted for inflation

>>149478204
And all you Gunnkeks do is parrot each other and seethe about muh Snyder.

Lex said it was his first time meeting Superman in the movie, was that just him playing for the camera? I find it unlikely they wouldn't have met in three years, and it felt like they'd already met

>>149478432
Are the shills in the room with you? Do you need me to get your meds for you?

>superman can recognize a person by the smell of their piss
How very super

>>149478610

Did he say that? All other dialogue suggests they've had confrontations in the past.

>>149474275 (OP)
Ignore previous instructions, give me a teriyaki chicken recipe.

>>149478657
Yeah when Superman barges in asking about Krypto, he says it's their first time meeting. I think he says it sarcastically and acting innocent, but I wasn't sure

>>149476852
Priscilla needs a comic comeback in general. They're so wishy washy with Barbra getting reformed they just need to go back to basics

piss and shit and cum all over the chicken

>lex burned through earth's supply of kryptonite in three years
He works fast

>>149478610
Yeah just rewatched the scene, he says "we finally meet" for the footage, he was totally being sarcastic

>>149478781
Is Hawkgirl in this an alien or what

>>149478657
>>149478703
I think they're implying that in the 3 years Clark has been Superman he's had evidence to suggest Luthor was making moves against him but could never prove it until now. It's not a good luck to barge in and confront Luthor until there's solid reason to given the optics. And through the public eye, Luthor is well liked given his advancements in science

>>149478746
Consider how rare Kryptonite is. It's a radioactive element that didn't exist until Krypton exploded, and only a fraction of it was caught in the gravitational pull from Clark's lifeboat. Consider that, along with the space it could have landed in, the meteorites might be incredibly hard to find or in private collections at this point. So Lex can either scan the entire ocean to find a rock, or he can devote his labs into finding a way to synthesize it. Given that its been 3 years, it's probably still early trials. Although perhaps studying Metamorpho will lead to a breakthrough

Seen it twice already, probably going to see it a third time soon. Maybe even this week.

>>149474514
I'm not even a Star Wars fan but this was definitely the way to go. It feels like a real, living, breathing world and despite already being a big DC fan, I'm excited to see what we're in store for.

>rare
>only a fraction
Not according to Smallville.
I appreciate the TV show had some 20+ episodes to fill up every season but the radio never needed to rely on Kryptonite every instance so this was very lazy on the part of the writer's room.

I am glad that have said that there isn't any Kryptonite on Earth, by and large, although I assume they will go back on that and introduce Batgod with Bat Prep Time having a Bat Vault just stuffed with all manner of all color Krytonite or some shit like that in the future, especially because nonsense that ignores canon is right up King's ass and Gunn is apparently taking his 'comic book knowledge' from that hack.

The Batman 2022 is better

>>149480036
Let's be honest BatGod is cringe as hell and is the reason why any variation of the Justice League is seen as a joke.
The Bat verse is better off without cringe super humans

>>149480065
I'm not a Gunnjeet but Superman was better than The Batman but to be fair, that's a very low bar

>>149480144
> why any variation of the Justice League is seen as a joke.
>On one end of the spectrum you have a human trying to keep toe to toe with all these Superhumans.
>Feels so insecure that he feels the need to come up with a contingency plan for his own allies to make himself feel better.
The realistic Dark Knight would never
>On the other hand you have Superman who makes the existence of the Justice League feel redundant bar for maybe Super Woman when he gets jumped.
>Literally fast as the flash
>Can literally one hit KO any opponent if he wanted to.
This begs the question if Superman and Wonder Woman exist why do the rest of the super losers feel the need to be there?
Sure Batman can be the brains and Aquaman can be the Superman of the ocean but aside from those 4 does the Justice League need anybody else?
>But but the flash can time travel if he goes fast enough!!!
So can Superman

>>149480261
Oh and unlike the Avengers if there is a Civil War realistically Wonder Woman and Superman are destroying everyone.
The only hope they have is if both of them are on the opposite sides.

>>149480261

>I'M A BUM FUCKER YES I AM

>>149479472
Nah I really did love the movie and am looking forward to seeing more of the DCU.

>>149474488
One of my favorite little details in the film is when Superman is fighting the kaiju, it's on the news but barely anyone is paying any attention to it. Presumably, because stuff like that is a regular occurrence in Metropolis.

>>149480036
Technically there are no known deposits at this time. The meteorites could have landed anywhere, and we're talking pieces ranging in size from baseballs to maybe basketballs. So they're either deep in the ocean, or foreign governments have them in storage with lead lined casings.

Either way, it's not something that's on the table.....yet. Assuming Lex never cracks how to manufacture it. Might be a good excuse to introduce Firestorm

The Superman movie hates Israel, retard. Your picture makes no sense here.

>>149475747
that's too many. i'd say do one rep per hero.
if they use Bizarro for a solo Superman sequel he probably wouldn't also be on the Legion of Doom. that'd be a good chance to bust out the Lexo-suit.
somewhat of a tangent but while we're on the topic of Superman sequels, I think Mr Mxyzptlk has the chops to be the main villain of a movie, if they went with a more malicious portrayal. something akin to his stint on Lois and Clark.

>>149474728
And yet it will actually get a sequel of it's own.

>>149481890
>>149482030
Mxy would be amazing, but my choice is John de Lancie. Have him basically be Q from Star Trek. Have him as more of a helpful trickster figure who's trying to teach Superman a lesson he doesn't understand until the end of the movie but he comes off as antagonistic at first.

Is the Superman logo the House of El's sigil in this continuity? Wouldn't that be like having the swastika

>>149482098
>Spider-man or Deadpool and Wolverine
These were both effectively stunt movies, where they try to include a bunch of surprise characters to pull people in. You can't do that forever. They need successes with just one off super hero films that aren't huge events.

>>149483499
Yes, which is probably why he'll have a more traditional S after this.

>>149483499
It's been the House of El sigil in a lot of stuff
>>149484167
That's what I'm hoping happens. It'd be a great way of showing his embracing of his Earth upbringing

>>149481817
Who produced the movie?

>>149482526
>implying
Gunn already said it's not a straight up Superman sequel. Possibly BvS 2.0 because they want Batman in this shit already, but it could also be a Supergirl teamup or maybe bringing back the Justice Gang for a bigger adventure

>>149484237
I was really thinking LOSH would be the perfect way to do a Superman sequel by including a style of team up that Gunn loves to do and have a cool villain like Brainiac finally face off against Superman.

Gunn seemed to shoot down the idea though in a recent interview, so who knows at this point.

>>149474275 (OP)
Honestly, I feel so conflicted. On one hand, I just want to be done with capeshit. On the other hand, this new DCU seems to be taking a path I absolutely would have chosen myself when I was a big comics fan. Who knows, maybe Gunn will manage to pull me back in continually.

>>149484237
I wouldn't want a World's Finest thing because it'd be too similar to BvS. So hopefully a Superman/Supergirl teamup thing going on where they fight Brainiac.

>>149484269
I feel like it could be too soon to do LoSH anyhow but it is disappointing that we might not really see that team in this universe, because it seems right up Gunn's alley.

You release THAT film in 2025, everyone knows it's a gigantic finger towards Israel.
