Rebuilding The DCEU

 


    Hello again,it is....Barney the DC fan who loved BVS and MOS but didn't enjoy JL. A friend of mine told me I stopped talking about DC and he was right. You're probably wondering about why  I stopped talking about DC. Well the answer is simple as ABC,THEY MESSED UP!. Technically it was warner bros who messed up but still justice league is  a movie under the DC brand so....it's a DC film.


   Justice League was meant to be the finale to a beautiful and well layered/deep series of movies. It was meant to be the proper end of Superman's journey from Man of Steel but instead it became a short,eye candy based pop corn flick with little or no rewatch value at all. I know a lot of people reading this might not agree with me because they hated the prior DC films for being too "dark" and "depressing" and I totally get their point of view. One of the reasons why I didn't like Justice League was because after I watched it I was like "oh,that was okay I guess" as opposed to me after watching BVS where I went "Wow,that was very impressive...Lex basically just called in alien army and Superman is dead,damn the earth is doomed".

   The DC film-verse isn't ending anytime soon so I think they can either correct their mistake and stick to compelling stories or make things even worse and become formulaic and boring like the Disney cinematic universe. I've only managed to watch Justice League twice,the second time was so hard and that sucks because I was really looking forward to another masterpiece. A lot of things in the film were just executed lazily....you know what,I'll stop talking about justice league now.

   The end isn't here yet so they can obviously correct their grave mistakes and here are a couple of great ways by which they can do that;

• Stop announcing new movies everyday with no release dates.

•Stop planning massive events like Flashpoint because I do not believe this universe's Barry Allen is matured enough for such a storyline and we're not attached to the characters yet.

•Stop targeting Marvel's Demographic,I'm emphasizing on that,please stop trying to sell your movies to marvel fans. You already had a fan base,work on gaining back their trust.

•Stop cutting movies and meddling with directors visions!

• If at all you cut stuff out from movies,don't show those cut scenes in trailers because when the film arrives you'll look like unprofessional idiots.

• Ignore the critic sites because it's clear that they don't care about DC films in any way or form.

•Get me a job at WB studios(this one is negotiable)

•Do not let click bait articles against the DC universe grow,always call all those fake news sites out so as to keep your fan base strong(I don't think my heart can handle anymore Ben Affleck exits the DCEU news).

• Do not hire actors that can't tolerate their co-stars or the director.

     So I think that's pretty much all I wanted to say about dc for now. If you actually missed me talking about comic book stuff,you're in luck because I'll start doing that again!.

DOOM PATROL

   The second DC Universe Live Action show; Doom Patrol just premiered and I must say, it was a really interesting watch. Following the lives of the Doom Patrol, a team of very strange heroes who we first encounter during an episode of Titans, the show sheds more light on how they came to be the "freaks" that they are now through a brilliant narrator who ties into the episode and beautiful acting from every member of the cast.   If you saw them in Titans, you might have been pissed off by the actor who played Chief there. I thought he was horrible and the show recast him with a much better and intense actor who carries each scene he's in. With just the first episode, I was very impressed by how funny, serious and emotional it was. Unlike the show before it, Doom Patrol managed to start off on a high note with so many possibilities, it actually manage to do the whole team dynamic better than the Titan show.  I could actually feel the bond amongst each member ...

Mank review with a little bit of spoilers

“ I know you” was Marion’s first words to Herman Mankiewicz, this was the same way I felt because I had seen Citizen Kane (1940) prior to viewing this, so most of the things in the movie looked and sounded familiar  I strongly recommend seeing Citizen Kane before seeing this. Mank is a story of stories, but primarily it is about Herman’s journey in writing the first script draft of Citizen Kane after Orson Welles slashed the number of days he had to spend writing and everything that inspired the story. It is also a story about the complexity of Hollywood studios, the impact of the great depression on the infant film industry, filmmakers meddling with politics, the emergence of the Writer’s guild of America (WGA). While all these different stories progressed, the primary plot was still at full sail.  The non-linearity of the movie was marvelously done, it leaves the audience panting to find out the WHY for some of the actions of the characters, most are rooted in a...

UMBRELLA ACADEMY: WEIRD IS GREAT!

   I feel like this is the first time i have made a post about a show that just got released this early. Truth be told, i missed a class trying to binge all ten episodes of the new netflix show;  Doom Patrol  (that was a joke), sorry Umbrella Academy.   Honestly speaking, i find it truly intriguing how rare and fascinating how two really good and similar shows like Doom Patrol and Umbrella Academy got released during the same period of time. With the Netflix marvel shows being cancelled, i think its safe to say we'll still have our dosage of realistic superheroes on the small screen.   Based on the Dark Horse comic of the same name, Umbrella Academy tells the story of a group of kids who wan born on the same day in 1989 to mothers who weren't pregnant before that day. A rich man named Sir Reginald Hargreeves who managed to adopt seven kids out of the forty-three that were born on that day. With six of them(allegedly) having extraordinary pow...

BLACK PANTHER: SPOILER REVIEW

  If you haven ’ t seen black panther,I don ’t think you’d understand this post because I’ll be talking about things that happened rather than explaining them like most spoiler reviews. With that being said,let us march on. We saw the bright side of wakanda as well as it ’s hidden dark history and so now,its time to talk about. I’ll start of by talking about who everyone is talking about and that is no one else but Erik Killmonger.   Erik Killmonger and Ulysyss Klaw are now my favorite villains. In fact, unlike many I actually preferred Klaw as a villain but maybe that was because Killmonger was more of an antagonist(yes,they can be different)to me. Klaw just wanted vibranium so he could fuck shit up but Erik’s grievance was more personal and it challenged T’challa’s ideals because who Erik had become was a result of his father’s(King T’chaka) mistake I’ll go into that in a bit.  Black Panther shows us just how impressive Wakanda is because it’s ...
