......Doki-doki.....

Sorry bby, I'd let you stay with me if I could.

No you're not. Senpai probably doesn't even know what Senpai means.

I'm Senpai

Please, someone driver over to Kissimmee and put a bullet through my head. I'm too weak to raise my hands above my keyboard and mouse.

Please kill....

You are entitled to your opinion.

Ayako is best Fate girl.

>Some generic Tsundere
>Somehow above mother fucking King Arthur

She is literally perfect, stay mad.

These is why Saberfags have shit opinions

Slightly above her worm slut sister, but that's not saying much when Saber set the bar so high.

Tohsaka a shit.

I'm awake now. Fetch me my tea.

The problem is this movie is legitametly good and almost every negative reaction to it has "Copying Marvel!" Somewhere into it. DC/WB was practically forced into this and ya know what? They rocked it hard, there's bitterness somewhere with all the critics, and I doubt they're still sour about Affleck being Batman.

Hating a DC film =/= liking Marvel's films. Fewer people give a shit about taking sides than you seem to think.

I am simply me, I'm not out to famous or the next big success. I simply want to push the limits of what I personally can do and through reaching smaller, manageable goals, accomplish something bigger in the long run.

Oh I plan to eventually see TWS, and not just because Chris Evans is in it.

As for the idle guard thing, I'm not saying it's not wrong to do it, but I'm not going to go out of my way to hark on the movie for it when plenty of movies have done it before. It's hard for me to criticize it so much when it's a rarity for movies to do it right over wron,g and I'm just a brain dead cinema monkey who's more focused on Batman being Batman.

And even if they did, just because it's "common place" to not give a shit about small details like that doesn't really excuse the fact that the movie is still worse for it.

I guess that's fair, I'm just saying this new Luthor didn't really bother me because he did what needed to be done with a Luthor. Nothing else was really needed I guess, but maybe you're right in that muscle man Lex should've been in instead of Mark Zuckerberg.

I'm open to new interpretations too, but not when they're worse than the tried-and-true versions everyone is familiar with. Being different for the sake of being different? Nah. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Considering the main focus on the movie is the conflict between the two heroes, I don't find it a problem to see Luthor setting the stages of the other conflicts both in this film and the next one.

That's another issue with the movie altogether.

Most of those overly-dramatic comments are made by Luthor and he was purposefully doing it to show how deranged Lex really is, otherwise we'd just think he's only a little eccentric instead of being a legitimate madman.

As for the small mistakes, there was plenty of moments of idle guards in Nolan's trilogy, TDKR being the worst offender. The grenade? Maybe you're right but I didn't really think much about it until you brought it up.

Pacing was worse than Man of Steel, dialogue was garbage ("Your Doomsday." "The red capes are coming." "Son of Krypton versus Bat of Gotham!" "Save... Martha..."), casting was god-awful (Ben is the saving grace, here. Seriously the best part of the movie is him). Action scenes were visually impressive but they're often ruined by small, stupid mistakes that any other director could and easily would change. For example, in the Knightmare sequence, the fight was, on the surface, awesome! But then you see multiple Supermax guards in the background literally just standing there until Snyder told them it was their turn to attack Bats. Or in the warehouse when he's going to save Martha, instead of shooting him out-right, the thug just pulls out a fucking frag grenade so that Zack has an excuse to include an awesome explosion in the background.

Sorry, but I really didn't see this. The ankle thing may have seemed over done, but considering how much of an edge Batman had over Superman when he was weak, just about anything Batman did may have come off that way. Also Batman was training some pretty crazy stuff right before his fight, I wouldn't put it past him to be able to fling a crate like that (especially if we don't even know if it's crazy heavy or not).

The special effects at times were just so poorly done, they actually reminded me vaguely of Batman and Robin. When Bats begins to swing Superman around in the port from the ankle? That was the faking shit I've ever seen in my life. Or when Batman yanks the crate above his head, even though that's physically impossible, during the warehouse fight. Just absolutely ridiculous.

Esienberg/Luthor didn't actually bother me as much as I thought. I mean it felt a little weird to have this scrawny twig that could snap at any moment play Lex, but he really grew on me throughout the movie showing they were going for a deranged scientist over someone who wanted to stand toe to toe with Superman.

Lex Luthor is just... no. The worst thing I've ever seen. And it's not Eisenberg's fault, it's the character direction I have a problem with.

There are so many things I absolutely LOVED about the film but I can't just say it's a good movie because of that... it's a piece of shit with moments of brilliance thrown in there. As are most of Snyder's films.

It is certainly better than what everybody is making it out to be. I seriously think there's a Marvel bias going on that's manipulating people's judgement on the movie. I only found one thing jarring and that was the whole Wayne dreaming scenario, but I couldn't find anything actually making the movie be as low as people are putting it.

So, you found it good meaning everyone else is bias and wrong?

GO fuck yourself.

:^)

GO away :^)

Since there was a thread on Microsoft's new AI taking a temporary leave, I figured some users might find this article interesting, there's been a victory on the AI front.

A new aggressive Go AI is crushing through professional competition. It won a 3-0 shutout against one of the best Go players in South Korea.

Move after move was exchanged and it became apparent that Lee wasn’t gaining enough profit from his attack.
By move 32, it was unclear who was attacking whom, and by 48 Lee was desperately fending off White’s [AlphaGo's] powerful counter-attack.

I can only speak for myself here, but as I watched the game unfold and the realization of what was happening dawned on me, I felt physically unwell.

Generally I avoid this sort of personal commentary, but this game was just so disquieting. I say this as someone who is quite interested in AI and who has been looking forward to the match since it was announced.

One of the greatest virtuosos of the middle game had just been upstaged in black and white clarity. AlphaGo’s strength was simply remarkable and it was hard not to feel Lee’s pain

The last two games will be played regardless of the fact that AlphaGo won. The AI is extremely cunning and makes no mistakes.

EDIT: Just read that games four and five already took place. Lee won game four but game five ended with AlphaGo winning.

EDIT: EDIT: Just read the Wikipedia article on the match, found something interesting:

Prior to 2015,[11] the best Go programs only managed to reach amateur dan level.[12] On the small 9×9 board, the computer fared better, and some programs managed to win a fraction of their 9×9 games against professional players. Prior to AlphaGo, some researchers had claimed that computers would never defeat top humans at Go.[13] Elon Musk, an early investor of Deepmind, said in 2016 that experts in the field thought AI was 10 years away from achieving a victory against a Go top professional player.[14]

The match AlphaGo versus Lee Sedol is comparable to the 1997 chess match Deep Blue versus Garry Kasparov. There IBM's Deep Blue computer's defeat of reigning champion Kasparov is seen as the symbolic point where computers became better than humans at chess.[15]

AlphaGo is most significantly different from previous AI efforts in that it applies neural networks, in which evaluation heuristics are not hard-coded by human beings, but instead to a large extent learned by the program itself, through tens of millions of past Go matches as well as its own matches with itself. Not even AlphaGo's developer team are able to point out how AlphaGo evaluates the game position and picks its next move. Monte Carlo tree search is also used in a major way to improve the reasoning efficiency of the program.

But then we get a cookie cutter situation (like what we have now) and ultimately people will grow tired of comic book movies. I mean, just look how many we're getting in the next four years.


They're completely over saturating right now, and it shows. Also it forces you to be completely invested in all the movies or you risk losing some serious knowledge. I missed out on Captain America 2, then I want to go see Avengers 2 and was all like "WTF happened?" Putting time and pacing in between movies will ultimately make them successful, not churning them out every other season (running on every season), and is why I'm scared for where Star Wars is heading despite loving Episode VII.

I actually want to see DC rival Marvel, it causes competition for both companies to try and release superior products and put more effort into it.

I don't know who decided to make him Luthor but they need to be shot.

And, yes, Jesse Eisenberg's Luthor was campy as shit.

I don't think it's fair to blame DC for this, ultimately everyone was basically expecting DC to follow Marvel (And Marvel just got lucky with timing it first, otherwise the roles would be kind of reversed) to the point where everyone was downright demanding it. I don't think it's a situation of DC trying to compete with Marvel (despite what Marvel purists would have you believe) but more of DC trying to give comic book fans in general more of what they want, and I've been dying for a Justice League movie for ages.

And the movie's biggest weakness was that it definitely showed that it's trying so hard to ride Marvel's coat tails.  You want to see DC make an impact to show it can rival Marvel, but you realize it's too little too late now.
