man, i'm trying so hard to keep my expectations in check for this one.

this is certainly not the first time we've seen amazing reviews in advance of other DC movies that wound up sucking, so i can't help but feel like charlie brown trying to kick the football right before lucy yanks it away.

this one feels different though...between the production issues, the ezra stuff and the changes at DC, they could have easily scrapped it or gone straight to streaming. obviously they think they have something here...

No matter how hyped this movie is, I'll probably wait to watch it at home with low expectations. The Snyderverse has just flopped that hard with me. This looks like more of the same, and there are so many other movies I want to see this summer.

+ I'm more likely to enjoy the movie if I go in with low expectations than if I go in riding the hype.
Thanks and gig'em

So is Ezra Miller going to escape accountability within the industry simply because this movie is apparently good?

What's the latest on him?

There's no way they let him out to promote the movie, right?

Miller will not be on the press tour, no. I have a friend in marketing at WB and that's what they told me as of a couple weeks ago. Said it was too bad because Miller's incredible in the movie, to the point of bringing this person to tears at one point - and this is someone who is not particularly a fan of superhero movies.

(Just to be clear, their "too bad" was in reference to Miller being such a f/ck up, not that this person felt that Miller should actually be on the press tour.)

Brings me to tears that they let that **** head be in a movie while kicking Gadot and Cavil out of it.

Pretty good rundown on what's gone on.

https://www.vulture.com/2023/04/ezra-miller-grooming-allegations-career-timeline.html

I think his gender fluidity and labeling all of these actions as a "mental health" crisis is going to be what gets him another chance. He'll blow it eventually because it's probably just his personality and not a crisis, which implies some sense of temporal transience.

Will some studio trust home with a blockbuster type role again? Probably not, but he won't be ostracized in Hollywood until something else happens

I'm gonna admit I'm a decent sized nerd and watch all the comic book movies but all this resetting is already completely losing me. Extra Superman universes? Another Batman universe with Reeves movies as well. God knows what flashpoint will introduce.

Kinda meh about the whole thing

They (DC) must have invested a ****-ton of money in this movie to put up with all this bull***** And Batgirl must have sucked beyond belief to get outright cancelled while this goes on.

I can't understand referring to yourself as "they". Nobody is more than one person.

Making movies with different guys playing the same hero feels like a colossal bad idea.

I had to stop reading this pretty quickly because of "they". It's very confusing, unnecessary, and illogical and i agree with you he's getting a pass here partially because of his background. How in the world is writing like this going to be sustainable over the long haul when you have more than one person in an article? So damn dumb.

As confusing as this universe is going to be.

Those quotes are for Guardians 3. I didn't hear anything there regarding his Superman movie.

Having said that, yeah, Superman is going to be just fine in his hands. He has made 3 movies of varying levels of fantastic. I suspect that he has a reverence for many of these characters likely because he read the comics growing up.

Just as journalists have long limited themselves to interviewing one female and one male per story to avoid the society-threatening chaos and confusion of multiple "him's" or "her's," they will limit future stories to one trans person as well.

Fear not, we sorted this all out at the George Soros-funded lizard people orgy on the Jewish space laser last week.

Give it time. I'm sure you won't be the only one.

It is, after all, a TexAgs tradition to bag on CGI.

Quote:

Muschetti, for one, wouldn't consider recasting Barry Allen/The Flash. "If [a sequel] happens, yes," Muschietti told the Discourse podcast about bringing back Miller. "I don't think there's anyone that can play that character as well as they did. The other depictions of the character are great, but this particular vision of the character, they just excelled in doing it. It feels like a character that was made for them."

Was confused because I thought he was referring to more than person who had played The Flash...and then I remembered. I fall for it every time because it's stupid and illogical.
