I'm hesitant to get excited for this. There was just so much to hate about BvS, and I somehow doubt things have gotten any better. I mean, I love these characters, a lot, but BvS was just a cluster fuck of awful. The difference between Warner Bros. and Marvel's approach to bringing these characters to life isn't just in tone.
It's like Marvel asked themselves, "How do we bring our characters to life with the personalities and traits that fans love?" and DC asked, "How do we fuck up all the loveable aspects of our characters?". From the shitty Kents, to emo Superman, to branding psychopath Batman, I've just lost all faith in WB. At this point I'm just wondering how they'll fuck up Cyborg and Aquaman. The Flash looks fine, but Aquaman looks and sounds like a southern metal fan and Cyborg... doesn't look like he's going to be saying Boo-yah. He honestly looks like he's going to be boring, which is disappointing.
And... is Mark Wahlberg treating Grimlock like a dog..? It was bad enough when they did it to Bumblebee, but... I want this movie to fail so badly.

Isn't that his New 52 origin, though? His father tried, and failed, to make him a cyborg and used the Motherbox to fix him up.008Zulu said:Seeing Cyborg being built by the Mother Box (a series of MacGuffins with powers that more or less correlate to Marvel's Infinity Stones) was funny. And a stark (pun intended) reminder that DC seem to be copying everything Marvel is doing, except the success.Bob_McMillan said:I was not excited at all when they showed them.
Gonna be honest, that dialogue is just god awful. And so preachy, which is weird coming from the series with racist caricatures, giant robots with testicles, and a card carrying pedophile (I'm exaggerating, I know, but it's a really weird thing to put in a movie and to have a character carry in his wallet.)Zhukov said:Probably because of this:Samtemdo8 said:People are acusing Michael Bay of a Feminist Conspiracy?
