The recent DC movies are utter trash. I think the worst big budget movie I have ever seen in my entire life was a DC movie, probably Batman vs Superman.
The marvel movies, while definitely not kino, are fun to watch. I like the X-Men ones particularly. I like the new spiderman, Tom Holland, as well, hot af.
It's not wrong to enjoy the movies, but simping over them, being a fan, or thinking they are somehow "good", just seems morally wrong for some reason. I personally know people who went to the theaters dressed up because they are "hard core geeks", but haven't even seen all of the movies. I find the superficiality of fandom pretty gross, tbh.

The only time I get to watch those are when I'm on a transcontinental flight, they always have them 100% in their list. It's one of those weird things where they are apparently really popular although I personally know almost nobody who watches them, and I do know some consoomer types who faint over Star Wars and stuff like that.
I honestly don't get appeal. The world is ridiculously oversaturated with magic, aliens, sci-fi tech, etc. while the only concept of a good superhero movie would be one where you learn about the origin story of the hero and the villain and where they got their powers from - you know, some sort of build-up. I know Marvel has this stuff too but in those all-star movies like The Avengers it's just bloated and doesn't matter anyway because it is dogmatically stratified into "power levels" instead of a stone-scissor-rock principle where one superpower trumps the other, which would be more interesting to watch. I just think anybody who gets invested in this and is over 18 has problems. Like, this is kids stuff. At least for Chrisopher Nolan's Batman trilogy I can at least activate my suspension of disbelief during the more serious moments, for Marvel movies I can't.

https://www.cracked.com/article_27330_why-avengers-are-all-anarchists.html<What makes Steve Rogers different from Tony Stark, though, what makes him a true anarchist, is that he's not going against the government for his own selfish gains. He's not screaming "You can't have my property!" and then convincing himself it's for a good reason. He's not, like Stark, ceding responsibility for his actions to a higher power after a string of screw-ups, desperate to free himself from blame. Rogers knows that the government will, inevitably, do what is best for the government, and not the people. And that's just not how Captain America rolls.
This isn't really wrong, however it ignores the fact that the films themselves are contradictive to this theme overall. The films promote imperialism as films of popular genre in the USA have for decades since talkies began.
Cowboy Movies reflected how America viewed itself as the new major empire of the depicted time in the 1930s - 60s
Action movies reflected the ideology of US Imperialism in the 60s-80s- 2000s.
Superhero movies are the ideology of US Imperialism in the present day (2010-2020s~)
It all makes sense when you consider the Avengers are figuratively and also often literally a part of the US military:
- Captain Marvel was an Air Force pilot
- Tony Stark made weaponry for the US
- Captain America was an American GI
- Same with Falcon
- Black Widow was an American special operative
- Same with Hawkeye
And of course the Avengers work with Shield so frequently they’re basically the superpowered branch of the US military. They don’t really even interact with other real world governments besides America’s. At the end of the day, the idea is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_League_Dark:_Apokolips_WarRecently DC AMU let out their Apokalips War movie which conceptually was cool, but the fights and story were so fucking stupid it makes Buu-arc DBZ look good.
Black Manta, Bane and any DC characters killed, die like utter retards killing fodder and then suddenly dying to them for no fucking reason except shitty writing. At least with shonen anime they have these characters fight for a really long time and getting sloppy from fatigue, but noooo we gotta play stoopid! Lex Luthor doesn't even bust out his anti-Superman power suit for no reason, despite it letting him clash with supes and despite him having body modifications that make him above superhuman on his own.
>Inb4 being part Doomsday They're not that fast, and their strength is comparable to high-tier superhumans. Given their weakness to kryptonite (and it's copious use) as well as the fact that they aren't nearly as berserkers (or strong) as actual Doomsday, it's irrellevant. They're fodder and shouldn't be able to even scratch higher-tier characters (who seem to forget their most powerful attacks).
Even when it's not against fodder people die like morons, FFS The Green Lanterns get killed as they CHARGE at Darkseid as if their power rings don't let them use attacks from any range. Not one of these morons puts up a shield, one of the super-man tier characters gets fucking killed by a bullet to the forehead. And Cheeetah a character who fights one-one with Wonder woman (who in turn matches Superman at times) gets killed by bullets.
Swampthing gets turned into a joke despite being a living embodiment of The Green, a force comparable to the Omega and the Speed Force, existing long before Darkseid, and will exist long after Darkseid. As we’ve seen what someone can do just by tapping into a significant portion of the Speed Force, the power of it is immense. Over time, Swamp Thing has learnt to control The Green more and more, eventfully mastering it, as it represents all green life in the universe, not just plant life on earth. Poison Ivy is also aware of The Green's existence, due to being intrinsically linked to her plants. And while different representations of different Forces vary in strength, Swampthing is essentially limitless in terms of regeneration, as you would have to torch every single habitable planet on the universe to kill him.
Other gripes;
- Who the hell thought it was a good idea to bring the Martian and the Atlanteans to a world where there’s only fire?
- Why the fuck doesn't Cyborg regenerate his parts? He's literally implanted into a wall of the same technology that his own cybernetics are made of!
- Why are they attacking the tower when Luthor, Genius at 4D chess, would just as likely help them if they just talked to him convincingly. Hell he just up and switches around 5 minutes later. He may be a self-serving sociopath, but he isn't stupid enough to engage in infighting during a matter of life or death of humanity.
- Do you expect me to believe that the Tamaranians would just let their princess be turned into a cyborg automaton without some kind of retaliation? They are powerful and technologically advanced, while no match for Darkseid, they would likely be useful allies to taking down his forces. They aren't shown to be beaten and we don't see them join in so WTH?
- While Etrigan's nihilistic boredom is great, he gets killed really randomly, he's an immortal demon with insane healing - a sword through the chest is par for the course.
The 3D models of the Paradooms are also unsettling as fuck, they're borderline Berserk3D tier.
TL;DR: Bane & Black Manta - both feared & intelligent adversaries of Batman & Aquaman - Ripped apart after both non-characteristically pulling a Leeroy Jenkins into a horde of Doomsdays… just like the majority of the cast. Etrigan was the only good character. A real disappointment over-all, especially compared to movies like the ones involving Flash or Doomsday and even more so in contrast to Batman TAS and Superman TAS.

It paints the most revisionist picture of WW1 I've ever seen with the typical "it was all duh GeRMaNs fault, BrITaIN GOOD DUH" which isn't true. Everyone involved in WW1 was equally an imperialist pig and believing that the Central Powers were the worse somehow despite the "good" guys starving something close to 2 million German civilians is baffling and just modern western media/history trying to paint their winning side as the good guys. Not saying that Germany WEREN'T the bad guys, just that if you're gonna criticize one imperialist power in a pointless war you gotta call the rest out for it as well.
I always see modern media streamline WW1 and make imperial Germans into basically 'nazies' even though those are two different time periods and screenwriters should actually read a book 'cause history is better at writing interesting and engaging tales than they are. Oh and also the whole "wonder woman" thing being shoved down the audiences throat with one of the most pointless and horrifying wars in human history into a consumerized, comedic, shallow-fem rights film that manages to make the superhero female lead somehow less important than the actual women who took part in the conflict.

Feels like some-kind of anti-soviet shit, though more likely its just inattentive graphic designers.

As society has moved forward from the 20th century, a proliferation of postmodern skepticism made a lot of old propaganda techniques harder to pull off, and so propaganda often has to be a good deal more subtle and sub-textual to be taken seriously. Interestingly, this seems to disappear entirely if and when the creators start promoting the supposed diversity in their casting, setting etc. Rather flagrant, chauvinistic propaganda can be fed to liberals directly, and they munch it all down, eagerly, if they've been convinced it's a "progressive" work because of diverse casting.
Captain Marvel, which gender flipped an eponymous super hero and couldn't shut up about it, was a straight up ad for the US Air Force and didn't even try to hide it.

>A man is chosen by God to destroy Satan, so God whisks him away as a child to a special hidden island where he is trained by none other than the Spartans themselves in the ways of becoming a warrior, but his training is suddenly interrupted by landing soldiers from the outside. Turns out, these are soldiers that accidentally found themselves in the island due to a conflict in WWI, and after the Spartans kill the soldiers except for the American guy who they can tell is good, the American explains the situation of the war to our hero. Realizing this must be Satan's doing, our hero follows the American out and into the broader world, which he is originally repulsed by. The weakness, the decadence… and how do they even fight in these civvy clothes? But, as they get into battle, the normal humans prove their worth as our hero's American buddy sacrifices himself in the fighting to stop the damned krauts. When the hero finally breaks through and confronts the German general, it turns out he's not Satan at all, but a proud soldier who loves his country. So who was Satan? None other than the traitorous, peacenik politician who was trying to put a stop to the war. Our hero kills him and saves the world from his vile machinations.Pretty ridiculous premise, yeah? Maybe an occasional chud or Kyle would like it, but the average lib would roll their eyes so far back into their heads that they would be looking at their own frontal lobes.
BUT WAIT
<A woman is chosen by Zeus to destroy Aries, so Zeus whisks her away as a child to a special hidden island where she is trained by none other than the Amazons themselves in the ways of becoming a warrior, but training is suddenly interrupted by landing soldiers from the outside.

>Hidden away on the lost isle of Atlantis, a utopian society has been cultivated. A prince of Atlantis ascends to to the throne, but his reign is short lived. The son of another Atlantean prince who had been exiled has returned home, challenging him for the throne in ritual combat. The challenger wins and makes his ultimatum: for too long Atlantis has hidden itself away from the world, strive and oppression abound on the outside, and the people suffer under the boots of cruel tyrants. He'll send the wondrous technology of Atlantis to the oppressed of the world, so they might overthrow their oppressors and win their freedom. The Atlantean lords are horrified by this, but are largely powerless to do anything against their rightful king. That's when the deposed prince teams up with the CIA to plot a coup against the new king. The coup plotters manage to unite most of the Atlantean nobles against the new king and depose him, putting the former king back into power. But, the king has learned a valuable lesson to not ignore the world, so he sets up some charities in disadvantaged neighborhoods. Heinous, right?

The examples go on.

Liberal idpol is the mission to turn people previously placed in poverty or on the fringes of classical bourgeois society as a matter of course into a bourgeois-fied subject. It is the mission to induce in blacks and gays and women the same brainwashing white males received where they deludedly saw the wealth and power of bourgeois whites as their own thus validating their position in society. But this is even worse since “egalitarianism” means only coastal college-educated lib blacks can enjoy this, but your average nigga from Newark will still be despised. So insidious, it’s worse than preventing communist solutions, the only solution presented is a total submission to woke capitalism; best exemplified in shows like “Dear White People” where the utter sociopathic mindset of liberal idpol is on full display, with no awareness.
TL;DR:

Just finished Suicide Squad (2021) and I can definitely say that it is a pretty fun movie, if a bit weird, but the effects are great, the characters are cheesy and fun and the black humor can really work. It also isn't afraid to have some unsubtle satire about US interventions, human experimentation and US ideas of "enforcing peace". Idris Elba is a great actor as always, Harley Quinn can be a proper character and fighter and not a poorly choreographed feminist shove in, John Cena is pretty funny too and his role as Peacemaker is an interesting shattered mirror of Captain America. Ratcatcher II is also cute and fun, and her steampunk get-up is metal as fuck.
Even if you may not like it after, I do recommend seeing the film, Russian torrents have 1080p HD versions, so if you're not a cinema fan don't worry. However, it's the kind of movie that does deserve a theatre watch, if simply because it really leaps out.
As a side note I think Hollywood has found a new formula for making money - release a flop movie that still makes significant money, then release a better soft-reboot (Justice League already did this and now so has Suicide Squad this will probably repeat - heck the upcoming Ghostbusters movie is a softcore reboot of that god-awful 2016 one.

Sounds schizo, but The credits in the end reveal the funding, and although it’s not directly the us military, they work in close cooperation with the military and imperialist factions. even in the post credit scene, the bad egg is still there, the rebelling good egg feds put the nationalist in charge. Honestly, it seems like a more subtle fuck you propaganda, the state will get away with everything.

the visuals was the highlight of the movie but the ending was sad
i was feeling this movie was both siding it and it kinda did that but when peter cappaldi's character started talking it didn't feel like that
the hypest moment was actually when the workers beat the shit out of their boss amanda walKKKer
basically i'm trying to say is that The Suicide Squad (2021) is actually a socdem pro workplace democracy worker co-op movie.
I feel bad for starro :(
Shark man was good but his voice acting was boring as fuck, stop hiring people like stallone just for their big name man

Rats were the heart and the soul of this movie. I got so mad at seeing Taika Waitti when he cameo'd but the last line he spoke really was the sweetest.

I didn't much like this version of Spiderman's art style but as aa show it was good. Tombstone is a pretty good Mafia boss villain and frankly, like batman, Spiderman thrives as a street vigilante facing off thugs, mafioso and self-made villains rather than some retardedly overpowered conflict on the tier of the avengers. .

I was browsing the 'net and momentarily read some stuff about a rather obscure DC character - Plastic Man - and their sheer OPness.
https://archive.md/oWlSZ (an overview of his insanity).
One of the interesting aspects is that they didn't start off that OP at all. Someone really pointed out this problem.
>This is another example of making the weakest and most useless characters “heroes”. Plastic Man was made as a joke. Now, he is the most powerful being in the universe with unlimited power, somehow, which they wont explain. They did the same to Flash, Aquaman, Hawkeye, Green Arrow, etc. People with no real power have been given so much power and importance, but no reasonable explanation as to why. Why isn’t Reed Richards just as “powerful” as Plastic Man? They have the exact same ability, yet one is god-like while the other has normal limits to a stretching and morphing power. How is Plastic Man immune to fire? How does he have massive super-strength? How does he have massive invulnerability? How is he immortal? How is he, basically, now a god? The Flash…his power being that he can run fast.. now, a god. https://archive.md/kn1Uq Indeed characters are so overpowered that no thought is put into how another (god-like) character can actually hurt or beat them, they just can just because. So IMO, for capeshit to stop being so completely dumb and world-breaking you have start over and us nerfed characters. An example of this done right is Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes - NONE of the superheroes is OP and this forces them to be clever, to have stakes and limitations. This is the reason the past decade of Marvel live-action movies (like Iron Man) had strong beginnings - they had limitations. This is the reason Spiderman and Batman comics had been so cool bac in the day too.

The fact that it takes a hard U-turn away from this in the finale adds another layer of fucked up propaganda to it, because it's also indulging childish fantasies that the world is simple black and white. The fact that the existence of nuance and material forces is brought up only to be discarded sends the message that you shouldn't question the simplistic, childish narratives.

Moreover my point had been that Korra specifically emphasized this, as if it's version is better.
>Ironically it could have been actually subversive and decent if all along it turned out Ares wasn't involved and Steve was right when he told Diana that wars happen for more complicated reasons YES, literally my first thought. Ares being the reason for the war and Man's constant repetition of it, is a plothole too, since the conflicts coming after… also had been from men, and not Ares.
>Didn't hear about the rape part Yeah it's not a popular subject in media for obvious reasons. And yeah her being a Zionist makes sense given the IDF allegiance.
>“Dear White People”Yeah, honestly most people I meet that go or did go to Harvard, MIT, Stanford, etc. are extremely shallow and pretentious in their conception of things.

Western animation is more likely to give Asians squinty eyes and Asian animation is more likely to give westerners pointy noses and shit. Avatar does a decent job of not emphasizing any particular phenotypic traits, making nobody look particularly "foreign." IDK if this is deliberate, but it works. It's a lot better than making any particular group look more generic and "native."
> Moreover my point had been that Korra specifically emphasized this, as if it's version is better. Yeah about that I was just adding the wrinkle that Avatar was always diverse so this was dumb and obnoxious for them to do.

I was wondering if proliferation of MCU is a symptom of post-2008 world? I recall Zizek 's take on disaster movies being the trend in the 90s. Can similar analysis be made for current phase of Capeshit? Martin Scorsese and other film directors find it bad, especially the business side of things Martin later elaborated after his controversial statement of them being theme park ride (which is still being used to elicit reaction as evident with latest remark by Tom Holland)?
Cape crusader movies have been there since the 70s (40s, in the live action scene, if one counts the Superman tv serial). Baring the many failed ones, we had Superman series in 70s-80s, Batman in 80s-90s, Spider-man trilogy and Nolan's Batman trilogy in 2000s. But none of them managed to built up this planned and phased cinematic universe thing with an ensemble cast over more than 20 movies of individual characters and crossovers. Phase 1's culmination with the first Avengers movie in 2012, IIRC, was the biggest draw of mainstream (aka normie) crowd toward these movies besides Iron Man in 2008 (I never see many remembering the first Thor movie or Hulk movie starring Edward Norton, for instance). I recall memes saying how till that point comic book movies were considered too nerdy and after the Avengers many started to pretend to be fans of such movies. It had competed with the most anticipated The Dark Knight Rises and had managed to beat it at the box office. On a related note, Nolan's trilogy was draped in Neocon ideology. I think it kinda set the tone of DC vs Marvel movies for a decade to come, though one can argue WB's poor planning on their part and lackluster movies that failed to take its DCEU to MCU's level. 6 years later after the first Avengers, we had Avengers Infinity War-Endgame which went on to become big pop-cultural phenomenon, and the Malthusian themes of those movies at a time when overpopulation is the talking point, doesn't seem like t a coincidence. Had it been released in an era this is not this, would it been that big? Can success of MCU be considered a symptom of a society that is post-2008 feeling hopeless and edging on full-blown fascism circa 2012?
I would like to know your views.

Tony Stark is the mythologized ideal of an intelligent, wealthy and charismatic techno-optimist who solves all of humanity's problems. Funny how he embodies every bit of cope that porkies throw at working class people in order to provide them "solutions" for their problems and also makes them look good while doing that.

In a broader sense though, I think that films have got as big as they're going to get now. I very much doubt any film will make more than Endgame or Avatar 2, and even if Avatar 3 squeaks past the old record, they're not going to be able to sustain that level of growth for all 6 sequels.

>>22067>>22068Super is weirdly apocryphal the main character is literally a chinletjak. Its the most realisitic super hero movie imho since its just a schizo christofascist who doles out unnecessary violence on lumpenproles until the end where they face off with actual organized criminals and
sidekick literally gets there head blowed off. I didn't like the ending at all and thought it was a forced happy ending. Its a weird ass movie but viewing as a satire on /pol/yp LARPers is pretty funny
