It's a non comment and doesn't encourage discussion at all.

Just like your dumbass reply to me.

Please, continue with the damage control.

If it's such a dumbass reply then you'll have no problem refuting the rest of my points you've conveniently managed to leave out?

Yeah, jog on m8.

If I left out your other points, it is because there is literally nothing to refute. This is a non-argument, you are just talking out of your ass about literally nothing, trying to create a problem where there is none.

Says the user posting comments that contribute nothing to the thread.

It's like pottery, it rhymes.

I kinda feel like reporting your posts for derailing the thread, because you are trying to have a really idiotic "discussion" right now, if it can even be called that.

Hahaha okay. Even though you're the one impeding discussion and not contributing anything. But go ahead and report me if it brightens up your day a little.

I have never watched a James Bond movie before, but am interested in them. I have been reading the article.

Okay, so perhaps you should've posted that instead of "hurr never seen a Bond movie before." It's a non comment and doesn't encourage discussion at all.

You done being an ass now?

>"hurr I'm going to report you"
>proceeds with ad hominem

gg noelle

I have never watched a James Bond film.

Okay?

Why reply to the thread?

*THE two most iconic superheroes

I still don't see it making Avengers level money. JL probably will but the audience just isn't established enough for DC to just BTFO of marvel.

I'm not saying it's going to BTFO AoU (you'd have to be based Jim to pull that off). It will however, be pretty fucking close. These are of course people's childhood heroes that will be appearing together on the big screen for the first time, not a green rage monster or the star spangled HELP ME TONY.

It's not an A. In my country it means Assistance.

I CANT HOLD ON MUCH LONGER TONY

I have zero doubt in my mind that Batman v Superman will outgross Avengers and Age of Ultron.

I have zero doubt in my mind that this guy is insane.

MoS made half a billion dude.

In total, or at the Box Office?

Because here...

#3: The Avengers with $623,279,547

#51: Man of Steel with $291,021,565


Yeah, the Dark Night is up there, but as are individual Marvel Movies.

That's domestically brohammed. I'm talking globally.

Given the fact that Avengers had multiple movies behind it, and MoS was the first in its universe, that's pretty fucking impressive. Kinda indicates people want to see good DC films as opposed to okay Marvel films that they've gotten accustomed to.

MoS made half a billion dude. Combine that with the fact that two of the most iconic superheroes are going to be duking it out on the big screen for the first time could definitely give the MCU a run for its money, quite literally.

I feel DC is better off the big screen

which is where Marvel excels.

Found a really neat post on /tv/ that succinctly sums up my feelings about this whole Marvel vs DC debate. Bit of a long read ahead but you're an autist if you can't be bothered:

At Marvel, they have worked admirably to create a franchise out of what they were left with in terms of properties, but that can't continue forever. Just look at the statistics, the merchandising sales for Spider-Man were some 3 or 4 times that of every single MCU character. That is the difference between A-list and everything beneath it, even through Iron Man and Cap were B-list. As Marvel digs themselves deeper and deeper into their stock of properties, their situation will become just that: a hole they cannot climb out of. The increasing lack of iconography to their characters means they will resort to the same tired formulas of plot and characterization to hope for the same success for new characters as old ones, something audiences will get bored of. Sure Guardians shows any character can be a success with the right marketing, but those characters were moreso tropes to fit in a team dynamic than ones with depth. There's no simple stereotype to be applied to a character like Black Panther or Captain Marvel, they actually have to try. Many people already are getting tired of the commonalities of Marvel films like the poor villains, macguffin plots, poor (literally interchangeable; see: Wright) directing, forced characterizations, etc. so there's no way they'd accept that keep accepting that in the future and Marvel hasn't shown they can do anything else. This explains their desperation to get even guys like the Fantastic Four back since at least people recognize them. They know their efforts can only go so far with characters audiences don't even have in their peripheral vision.

Meanwhile at DC, they own every single one of their properties. Sure there have been some real shitshows like Green Lantern or Jonah Hex, but now with this new cinematic universe they are more focused creatively and financially than they ever have been. They now have a real vision for these films, and moreover Oscar-winning talent at WB to back it up. Hell, WB basically invented the comic book movie genre and are primed to retake it. Speaking of iconography, the Dark Knight trilogy and Man of Steel show that these immortal characters in the DC lineup are ones that audiences actually want to see done well. Those Batman films made a billions (also Batman merchandising sales are 2 or 3 times higher than the whole MCU) and Man of Steel's divisive reception shows to me more than anything the respect people have for these characters and the desire they have to see them on screen and done well. With the slate of DC movies, people will go see them because they want to see these characters, unlike with Marvel where they go just because it's a Marvel movie and they hope for the best. The latter's good will/humor from Guardians can only old for so long (just imagine an Iron Man 2 level film but with a new property, everyone would despise it and that character would never be seen again). Snyder and company have definitly learned form Man of Steel the boundaries they have in front of them, and they will only grow and improve moving forward (proof: David Goyer is gone). I have zero doubt in my mind that Batman v Superman will outgross Avengers and Age of Ultron.

Thoughts? Is Marvel really a one trick pony? Is its time in the Sun almost done?

I would also like to point out that Marvel was facing near bankruptcy in the mid 90s before X-Men and Spider-Man came along, so before you go all Marvelfag with "DC KEK, MAN OF MURDER WAS SHIT" just bear the former in mind.

Anakin in the sand

Padme in the point of view

This is the last time they spoke as friends.

You get that thing in on time?
