To each his own. It didn't feel like a TV movie when I saw the Helli-carrier rising out of the water with the Alan Silvestri score in the cinema that first time.
There are some good shots, but there's a lot of amateurish cuts and cinematography. The scene where they're all talking inside the Helicarrier, the bit where Thor beats up Loki and it features a million cuts in a few seconds. I think it's more that it looks flat and without style. At least to me. There's just a missing ingridient that'd elevate it.

A lot of the MCU feels like it was made for TV.
Yeah, that's true. I go back and forth whether that's beacuse of poor production values or because they come out so often that they feel like tv episodes.

MCU = HBO (ironically)

Snyderverse = epic cinema :chase
Snyder can do some really great shots, but I wouldn't call him epic. He overstuffs his films to the point where he cannot handle it. There's some gorgeous cinematography and lighting at times, but others it turns into a mess.

He gives us things like this though, so he's sometimes alright in my book. He's just so objectively a dimwit when it comes to themes, story, general ideas about anything bar "make shot look like a painting"...
 
I never cared for Whedon. Neither his projects, nor his "brand" really did anything for me. Even back in the day I felt "eh" towards him. I still maintain Avengers feels like a tv movie and was a bit of a letdown. Buffy was fine and comfy in a 90s/00s nostalgia trip way, but that's it for me. I liked his Astonishing X-Men well enough, so there's that.

As for his comments... In all honesty I get it. He basically came out and said "I finally had the chance to **** the women that never cared for me when I was a teen". Which is something anyone can understand. He's a mediocre guy and he finally had the chance to get some prime *****. It wasn't proper what he did, but I get it. What does make me angry though is that he was a complete hypocrite about it. He cheated on his wife and more than that he was LARPing as "le uber-ally/how are you doing my fellow feminist sisters YAAAAAAASSSS". He shouldn't have said **** and owned up to being a nerd who tried to make up for his teenage bitterness. That I'd get. But this? It's just pathetic. Being a hypocrite about it is unironically the worst part of it.


So, let me get this straight. They haven't revealed anything from Hawkeye. They haven't done the NWH villains and Spider-Men. They're ignoring Booba Fattso completely. They haven't put up a PO in 3 weeks. And now they're announcing a Battinson? This early? What's next, a Moon Knight PO by February? I really don't understand Hot Toys. They're truly a mystery...
Pattinson is too much of a draw not to have dollies of him made. Now add Batman to that and you've got a money-printing machine.
 
Uh oh! Do I smell a new silly movement!
Restorethereeverse bruh! Come on we can do it! Whedon is a marvel plant!

My goodness, I don't care if she's an evil Kryptonian, I'll take my chances. Best case scenario, death by snu snu.

Witness the bizarre back-and-forth of Batman evolving into a Mando and back again.
Loose fitting under suit and pants, WWII pouch belt, chest-plate armor, and pauldrons, gauntlets loaded with gadgets, and re-purposed back onto Batman.

:goodpost: :exactly:I like Robert Pattinson and I wanted HT to make this, but not having Hawkeye or Spidey stuff revealed first dampens whatever enthusiasm I had for this lol. I wonder now more than ever what they're going to skip, since they never make everything we want.

I always said Snyder should have been a cinematographer... like Burton should have been an Art Director. As directors, they are both very limited in much the same ways.

Oh, I wasn't doubting it being made, I just find it weird that they're announcing it so early when they have other films/shows to go through first.

I wasn't gonna buy any Hawkeye stuff, and I just want a Tobey and a Goblin from NWH, but it seems weird to me to fast-track this figure and leave others behind. You'd think at least Spider-Man would get announced. They took their time to put up the D+ Loki stuff for PO, so I'm not surprised Hawkeye has been put on the backburner, but I was sure the NWH stuff would've been announced by now.

I prefer Burton to Snyder (or at least did, haven't really revisited him), but you're 100% right.
 
Sometimes I feel I need the Codex of Darthkostis to read his posts.
I had one, but GW sued me for plagiarism.

Now I live in a storage unit, surrounded by my dollies.

But honestly, zoomerspeech lingo is so moronic it's fun. I don't even know if anyone talks like that, or if it's an internet stereotype, but I don't care.
