3 episodes into The Boys and fucking loving it. The total antithesis of the MCU and a huge middle finger to the over-saturation of superhero media. Plus, Karl Urban.

In that case, I'd love to watch it!

So how come no one is talking about the boys? It's fucking beautiful, don't you guys have anything to say?

Antony Starr is perfection.

Anyone watching any of the Arrow-verse Dc shows? I haven't but the upcoming Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover has me intrigued by the returning cast from previous Dc movies and shows.
Brandon Routh (superman returns) will return as a Kingdom Come style Superman.

Tom Welling & Erica Druance will be returning as their versions of Clark & Lois from the Smallville tv series.
Kevin Conroy (the extremely iconic voice of batman in most animation since the 90s) will play a crippled Kingdom Come style Bruce Wayne.

Wonder Woman 1984 trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfM7_JLk-84

For Me...
Pros
- Wigg looks good and is giving me Vera Farmiga vibes.
- The white house fight looks to be well choreographed.
- Flashbacks to the Amazon competitions looks cool.
- The lassoing lightning bolts is a really preposterous idea even for comics but the effects sold it from the bit shown.
- Pascal is selling it on the commercials.

Cons
- The Gold outfit looks ok but the wings look extremely cheap. They really should have CGI-ed them.
- The wishing stone is the most "really?" manner of going about Cheetah's story I could think of, usually it's some dark human sacrifice cult stuff or epic god figure giving her her curse/powers. I worry they are making it too safe.
- The 80s music really doesn't fit near the end of the trailer.
- On a personal level I don't care for the Trump call outs with Maxwell's appearance and the the shot of a wall being destroyed (in the leaks it's some dictator/king who wished for his city/country to be safe)

Pros from outside the trailer
- I can't find the article this second but I saw that Jenkins confirmed that Cheetah would be a mix of practical and CGI. Which is for the best considering how awful the entirely CGI cat people look in the Cats trailer.

Cons from outside the trailer
- It's just really not what I wanted from this movie at all. When I heard it would have Cheetah and set in the 80s I was picturing Diana fighting the Soviets and tracking Cheetah through deep jungle among ancient temples Indiana Jones style. And I had hoped that Diana and Minerva would have been friends for a long time and she would be really sympathetic like in the recent comics but from the leaks it seems...

Birds of Prey trailer from last month - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGM4uYZzfu0

Pros
- Glad it seems to have kept the Suicide Squad visual style.
- Happy with Mew being in the film.
- Obi Wan seems to be having a lot of fun.

Cons
- Black Mask has no Black Mask (supposedly this has been fixed in re shoots), none of the characters look anything like their comic counterparts in almost anyway. Harley's outfits are deep trash. There is no excuse for not at the bare minimum using her iconic colors in some way, she looks like a crazy cat lady that fell into a confetti factory.
- HATE what they have done with Cassandra Cain.
- They are pushing Harley front and center and the other characters got zero spotlight.

Harley Quinn is basically DC's Deadpool at this point, they'll market her to the end of the earth.

I'd say Harley Quinn is more DC's Iron Man. The fan-favorite character with the right name actor bringing them to life that they can literally put into any of their films to boost a films appeal. She can be the focus of the film, or she can be a co-lead or a key supporting role or just a cameo and audiences will go see it for her. Kinda like how Marvel has just thrown Robert Downey Jr into one movie a year every year since 2015 (and will next year in Black Widow) so they can put his face on the poster. With Birds of Prey in 2020, THE Suicide Squad in 2021, a potential Gotham City Sirens film AND sequels, etc after that I doubt Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn won't show up in theaters at least once a year for the foreseeable future.

Deadpool is ... he brings such meta-baggage that he can't fit naturally into every type of film.

I hope that this will more fall in line with Assault on Arkham rather than the first Suicide Squad movie

Extremely excited for TF&TWS, already getting TWS/Civil War vibes. Love that they are bringing back Zemo.

On this...

Really hoping they give us a non cheap authentic version of Wanda's iconic costume, if they only give us this Halloween costume and then put her back into another damn jacket & street clothing style suit I am gonna take it as a slap in the face. If they can make Aquaman, Ocean Master, Black Manta, Doctor Strange & Deadpool all virtually identical to the comics while looking magnificently crafted and non silly they can damn well do it for Wanda also.

Black Widow

No complaints/concerns, looks solid. Shot of her leaping from the explosion is straight out of one of her recent comic series.


2nd Birds of Prey Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3HbbzHK5Mc
Better and more fun seeming then the first but aside from Black Mask getting his mask (thank you) my complaints/concerns largely remain the same.

Morbius trailer 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLMBLuGJTsA
Looks shockingly decent, better then Venom's trailers looked (still haven't seen that)

Bloodshot trailer 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R-qIOGyEcw
The CGI looks a little better for that falling fight scene & while the punch looks cool it seems kinda overpowered for the character, more Superman-ish.

Finally The New Mutants trailer 2 (1st trailer came out in 2017) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_vJhUAOFpI

Black Widow "final" trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybji16u608U
It's been pushed up to November so it doubt it will actually be the final trailer, sadly as they have already shown a ton of footage.
Looks great to me regardless.

Captain Marvel 2 set for July 8, 2022.
I am sure they will get another female director but they really really need to get the Russos back for this, I liked Captain Marvel (2018) but she direly needs her film equivalent to The Winter Soldier. WW84 honestly looks weak to me and Carol getting a stand out second film would boost her popularity at the perfect time to make up for WW's folly (should it not be received as well as her 2017 film).

I'm sure WW84 is going to do fine regardless, given how well-liked the first one was (it's probably the most unambiguously popular DCEU movie, after all).

JJ Abrams and Bad Robot will oversee a Justice League Dark series for HBO Max.

Really hope it includes the 2019 version of Swamp Thing.

Universal doing a Green Hornet movie.

I’d rather see the story of the Swamp Thing stand-alone show play out than watch JJ ruin it with mystery boxes.
