This is getting ridiculous. It was horribly paced and overbooked in the original cut. Now all the shit that’s being added. 
 

this shit isn’t a reshoot. You’re just making a new movie at this point with the amount they’re adding and money they’re spending.

The Synder cut isn't a movie. It's a mini-series. It's why they are adding all this shit in.

That's the point. The theatrical release wasn't his movie. They reshot most of it. IIRC 20% of theatrical cut was Snyder's footage. He's going back, taking his unused footage, and AFAIK an additional $80 million  dollars to make the movie he would have before WB butted in, then ultimately used his daughter's suicide as a chance to replace him. I mean in Snyder's version of the movie Cyborg was the lead character he was the "audience" you saw things through his eyes. He was tertiary character in Whedon's film.

 

Edit: Edited for clarification.

Sorta. It's the movie split up into I wanna say 3 parts. It's a 3 hour movie cut down.  But this was all what Snyder intended in the movie. The movie we saw was only 10% of Snyders versions

Titan's version of Red Hood

 

The new version of Batwoman

Painkiller getting his own spinoff feels so random.

The CW has a Wonder Woman show in the works. 

[iStu X]

Warner brothers did an oopsie and posted a YouTube video too soon before setting it to private. 
 

The video basically says that Wonder Woman 1984 drops on HBO MAX the same day as it hits theater (Christmas) and at no extra charge

Ratings. Flash is the highest rated of the CW superhero shows. I'm surprised they didn't cancel Batwoman. They had the perfect out with Ruby Rose quitting. Batwoman, Supergirl, and Black Lighting's ratings were low even by CW standards. I hate to see the show go, but I'm not surprised.

[Darc_Requiem]

Bruh, that HBO Max money must be legit. Star Fire got a  serious upgrade fam. Season 2 was better than the season one....hooker look. This in an upgrade from that.

 

 

 

Edit: I wonder how the rest of the cast is going to look. Beast Boy upgrade? I hope they don't upgrade Raven too much. Locoghoul going to get arrested otherwise 👀

So anyone else watch WW84 besides me?

I watched it. Overall, I think the first movie is still superior.

 

Spoiler

The movie gets kinda corny at times. Especially during the end when the movie starts resembling Bruce Almighty while all the wish-granting turning everything into chaos and WW basically saying "noooooo don't take the easy way out" The way how they shoe horned the invisible jet is also kinda cheezy

 

I can definitely see the Lord/Trump relation

 

Cheetah's villain arc seems kinda played out (the social outcast who gets power drunk and can't let go). Riddler in Batman Forever and Electro from TASM 2 are the first that come to mind.

 

Good action sequences although WW running to catch up with the trucks looked pretty fake with the slow running motion

That's worrisome to me considering I thought the first movie was boring as fuck and didn't get the hype, other than WW got her own movie let's all collectively support it.

[Disciple0fAnrky]

Damn if the first one is better than it must be a really bad movie. 

[Disciple0fAnrky]

Like the first one was literally scripted by some lame ass from Sex in the City which is why it has that terrible pacing that it has.    Freaking watching Wonder woman being led around like a lost puppy dog was painful to watch. 

[Lantis]

Welp if you didn't like the first one....there is not gonna be much here to change your mind LOL

[RSG3]

I liked the first one. Was perfect but I liked it. *shrug*

[Disciple0fAnrky]

Welp at least it wasn't battle angel bad.   Poor Diana gonna have to be content with just the og animated movie as everything else has her being a complete moron with no sense of agency.   I wonder how many stereotypes they have in the new movie?  

[RSG3]

Liked Alita to. *shrug*

[Maxx]

People thought the first one was bad? I thought it was a great origin movie. Yeah if you did t like that don't see this one. 

 

I suspect dc felt gun shy about some stuff. I feel like it wanted to go in a couple diff directions but were afraid of scaring Christian America. They hinted strongly at some stuff.

Everything about him was a trump reference. 

 

-building was obsessed with gold 

-euroslavic assistant

-pretended to have way more money than he did

-the whole middle east fiasco went down a few years ago

-power grab for presidency

You know what, it just might be lol. I don't like Superman, at all, but the N52 Superman was kinda cool. He wasn't that much of a boyscout like the previous Superman, didn't wear the silly underpants on the outside, and his suit actually protected him (nanobot or something). And he followed through with this threats, no empty bravado and then go "how does Batman do it?".

 

 

 

 

 

But that death metal Superman playing the guitar is cool lol.

A few people pointed out something about WW84....

Spoiler

Wonder Woman rapes a dude in WW84. I didn't think about it but they are right. Steve was in another dude's body. He couldn't consent.

 

[Lantis]

Not to mention....

 

Spoiler

Did nobody close to that dude ever wonder what he was up to/why he was missing/why was he hanging with Diana?

 

It's like everytime I think back to this movie I notice some nonsensical shit going on

 

[Darc_Requiem]

In retrospect this movie gets worse every time I think about it. 

[Lantis]

It's always like this with me, and not only for this movie but pretty much every movie/TV series I watch (or even games). It's like I have to let the movie sink in in order to break down all the plot points.

 

But yeah this is one of those movies that kinda gets worse for me even thinking about it. It kinda irks me now LOL

If there is one thing about the movie that bothered me it's that they don't once adress that her wish stole another guys life. Not once does she think "This is wrong, this is someone else's life we have taken." Not once is it mentioned and that bothered me.

Yeah that situation is more wrong the more I think about it. I mean 

Spoiler

him looking like Steve Trevor is for the audience's benefit. He really looks like the other dude the entire time. She's going around town with this guy. Commit crimes with this guy. Does he have a job? Was he fired for not showing up? Does he have a girlfriend/boyfriend? How his he going to explain the traipsing around town with Diana too them. It's situation that could have been completely avoided. It was a completely point less plot point. The stone is creating things out of thin air. It couldn't create Steve's body out of thin air too? 

 

[MillionX]

oh and you could imagine how quick the headlines would pop-up if this were a male superhero instead, I suspect...imagine a Superman movie, where it's the same situation and Lois comes back...

Spoiler

and he hooks up with Lois while she is occupying another woman's body.  Even if all they did was have a romantic kissing scene, a lot would be pointing out how this is "problematic"; but I doubt those same folks have an issue with Diana doing this... and she and Steve straight up formed "The Beast with Two Backs" that night...while he had another dude's body.

 

but sheeeitttt... Gal Gadot in that white dress with the split, showing ALL that leg meat.....

[Darc_Requiem]

Yeah but Patty Jenkins has more cakes that her and Kristen Wiig combined....

[MillionX]

yeah Patty is some prime-time  too...she's welcome to get this meatpipe anytime.

 

oh yeah, Patty... I can keep the affair a secret forever if ya want, babe... I got the cheap wine, candles and some Jodeci in the background...

Just do us all a favor and after you boink her, teach her the merits of making an interesting film.

[MillionX]

More contradictory wishes...

One person wishes for actual Heaven on earth...meanwhile another person wishes for the world to end in fiery chaos... hellish destruction everywhere.  = ???

One person wishes to be the President of the U.S.  Ten other people wish the same thing = ???  Also, I guess Ronald Reagan goes back to being a small-time actor that's forgotten?

One kid wishes to be bangin' his long-time crush *right now*... meanwhile, said crush wishes to be bangin' her long-time crush *right now* so.... = ????

 

Or hey---concerning Diana's wish...

Spoiler

What if the family and friends of that guy Steve was "wearing" wished for him to come back?  From their perspective he may have been a "missing person" for a few days.  Should her wish override that one since that wish was first?  I'd assume so, but if that's how it works then you have some wishes just not being granted because something contradictory was already wished for previously.  ...and the tragic thing is that they wouldn't even know *why* the wish isn't being granted.

...also, "That Guy" would've been a "no-call, no-show" for work if he was employed at the time, so it's possible he would've lost his job... kinda small potatoes in light of the world spiraling out of control moments later though.

Edited December 29, 2020 by MillionX

[axeman61]

Yeah, the extent to which wishes would contradict themselves is among the list of things wrong with the movie.

 

It just boggles me that the same director behind WW1 would produce this. But then again this was written by Patty herself and 2 others. WW1 was written by a group of other people. Maybe Patty should stick to directing.

[Darc_Requiem]

So apparently The Mary Sue even took issue with the random dude getting HeToo'd....SheToo'd um violated in WW84. This is how you know it's still 2020.
