@Yelmurc - oh the irony

@regularmovieguy - I'm all for the variety. I just worry they're throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. Expect them to pressure Phoenix/Phillips hard for an unnecessary Joker sequel. If Birds of Prey hits, same thing. Batman, etc. It's funny because they're really going back in time to the trilogy model that was pretty much how things worked before the MCU. Before they botched copying that model so hard.

@regularmovieguy - speaking of walter hamada what the fuuuuck happened to that Speilberg Blackhawk movie he greenlit lmao. Shit just disappeared

@regularmovieguy - Like 9 out of 10 DC film projects never happen lol. That Deathstroke movie could have been baller, especially with Gareth Evans behind the camera

@MuadDib

Margot’s one of the best young actresses working right now. I, Tonya. Wolf of Wall Street. She was pretty great in Bombshell too and that was a mediocre movie at best.

I’m going to wait and see how BOP turns out before I call for her head too. This only her second movie 😂

@tmp3

I keep hearing about this David O’Russell movie but I haven’t really seen it in the trades.

Going to be a rom-com, right? And yeah, feel like WOWS pushed her into the stratosphere and I, Tonya cemented her.

@MuadDib - She didn’t even exist until BTAS

"Comic accuracy" was neither an issue or even a thing until about 2012 and now everyone is all about it.

@regularmovieguy - Comic accuracy was never a thing with the studios, and the complaints were only minor and always disappeared after the movies came out.

It's really a new phenomenon that people lose their minds and cry about how it's a movie ruining issue. Birds of Prey and Spider-Man are perfect examples of it.

@MuadDib - MuadDib - Marvel has been very good

Yeah, I'mma stop you there. There's little "minor" in the differences between the MCU and it's source. Like I told the other person that tried that, Steve wasn't fighting Hydra during World War 2 and Bucky wasn't his best friend from Brooklyn, Tony hid his identity for in-world years and Rhodey was a Marine and also not a long-time friend, and pretty much all of Thor.

Donner's movies aren't accurate (Pretty much all of Luthor), Burton was certainly off (socially awkward Bruce Wayne wut?), and yes I'm aware that the comics retconned Spidy to have organic webs to match the movies, and has been removed again so Raimi is certainly no better. That's not even beginning on how inaccurate all their villains were.

And speaking of Batman, how about retconning? Spider-Man's relationship with Mary Jane was a retcon of her "always knowing" from being his neighbor not to mention the whole organic webshooter mess, Superman was a dude that was strong and could jump real good but because jumping was harder to draw they decided he should fly instead ... and then laser eyes were cool and so on and so forth in a ridiculous cycle of powercreep that would make Goku blush, and then Batman got retconned so hard in the 80s by Alan Moore and Frank Miller that he's basically a completely different character from Bill Finger's original; So much so that people complain about Adam West's show which was closer to accuracy to Bill Finger's book than Burton and Nolan were to Moore and Miller. While some people might have complained about the lack of them, no one is really holding the costumes in the X-movies or how prominent Wolverine was against them. And let's be real for a second: Logan was about as comic accurate as my wedding video. And do I even have to mention Joker?

They weren't accurate, and everyone was fine with it. They were entertaining. The kind of rage that Birds of Prey and Spider-Man (now) get for diverging from their sources are pretty new. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." "If it wasn't accurate before, why start now?"

@MuadDib - Bloody well said. Clayface is the one I’ve been wanting for years. And you’re bang on about Bane too.
