    While I also consider myself a Marvel guy, Batman the Animated Series is still one of my favorite cartoons of all time. The Joker is my favorite villain. I love the DC animated universe and think that DC is superior than Marvel when it comes to animation.

    I definitely love the MCU movies >> DC movies, but still enjoyed BvS. my issue was more the actor choices to play B Wayne and Luthor. But, I was a huge DC fan growing up, and that was continued with the animation series. Batman and Superman were both good animated series (Batman was better, having Mark Hamill play Joker was also great), but Justice League series was equally as good and IMO the best animated hero series ever.

    I love the Justice League series. Being introduced to The Question and Booster Gold. Who I think both would make great movies.

    I also like the CWDC universe. It is so much fun!

    I also like Young Justice and I am very much looking forward to Season 3.

    • Booster Gold would make a good movie. Question would be interesting as well.
    • The CWDC - I have mixed feelings. Enjoyed the Flash, lookng forward to next season to hit NetFlix. I like Arrow a lot in the beginning, it faded quite a bit after season 2 IMO. I've enjoyed Supergirl at times. I do not like legends of Tomorrow - awful
    • I need to catch up again on Young Justice.
    • ..and the one show I love watching with youngest kid is Teen Titans Go. It's Sponge Bob kind of stupid, but it's well done stupid and mixing that with the Titans is entertaining.
    • One show I'd like someone to make (Netflix, not CW) would be the Legion of Super Heroes. I know supergirl has taken characters from that show, but it would have potential

    I love Legends of Tomorrow. It is by far the cheesiest, silliest fun super hero show on TV. I am super excited that Constantine is going to be on Season 4. I know it is not a good show, but I am entertained and it is not insulting like Gotham.

    IMO, I think Season 2 was too good for Arrow because it created a false expectation of quality. Plus really, only half of Season two was really good. The show is also dumb fun.

    I enjoy Supergirl for what it is. It has made a lot of stupid decisions and runs into the Flash problem of the main hero having to make stupid mistakes for problems that their powers should easily avoid and they really shouldn't have full season villains because they are rarely compelling to last 24 episodes, though I am enjoying Reign due to the slow burn actually being interesting.

    I loved Teen Titans, however, I never watched Go.

    For Netflix I would want a DC Injustice series. I have watched a few summaries of the comics and I think that would be super fun to watch on a Netflix.

    The only episode I saw was the one where Beast Boy becomes a Leprechaun and tried to get the US back on the gold standard.

    It makes me happy that new cartoonist are also high on LSD as they were when I was a child.

    My six year old watched it with her older cousins and was hooked. We watch it a few times a week. Its pure silliness, however much of the comedy is actually geared towards people in their 30s and early 40s. The main characters are all cute, over the top versions of their regular selves, but also each have a defined personality. And as my daughter recently pointed out, nothing that happens in one episode really effects what happens in latter ones.

    So far, my biggest laugh is the fact that I learned about the villain Darkseid from watching the show, and he's apparently going to be in future DCU movies. However, on Teen Titans, after some silliness, he ends up having the voice of Weird Al Yankovic, so thats how I now see/hear him. :lol:

    Yeah, Darkseid is almost DC's version of Thanos from Marvel. Think I mentioned it before, but the creator of Darkseid and New Gods is Jack Kirby who wanted it released into MCU as a offshoot of Asgardian universe, but didn't happen, so he moved to DC and created one of the better villains in DC.

    I thought it was horrible as well- it felt like the "old school" way to make movies where nothing happens for the first 90 minutes but they keep saying, "something epic is about to happen!" The fight scene at the end was pretty epic but it also pissed me off that the two most powerful superheroes in the galaxy get hustled by a spoiled loser.....is that the DC comics you remember? I just thought it was horrible writing from start to finish but they didn't care since all us nerds would go nuts over the battle royal at the end.

    I love the Deadpool joke because it is a good reference. Deadpool was created when Rob Liefield wondered what Deathstroke would be like if he was Spider-Man. Because Rob Liefield is very creative.

    I didn't see it, but it did seem like one of those movies where the sum was far less than the total of the parts. Lots of people I normally like, but just a weird deal.

    I never liked it. I was in college when it came out, and remember looking around the room at my friends while we watched it on VHS wondering why they all thought it was so funny. Not my style, but I never really liked Jim Carrey. Me, Myself & Irene is easily his best movie, IMO. That one made me laugh the whole way through.

    I like several of his movies. Dumb and Dumber, Me Myself and Irene, Ace Ventura and the Truman Show. But my favorite movie by far is The Cable Guy.

    Finally saw Black Panther. Good and greatly enjoyable as all the Marvel films are. I don't know if I would put at the top of the marvel heap, but it's upper echelon.

    While watching a couple of the LOTR movies today with my extended family, I realized that the movies are as old to my 20 year old niece as the original Star Wars movies are to me. For her, they've always just been there and she grew up with them. It suddenly hit me why as you get older, things that seem fairly recent can sometimes have happened a lot longer ago than you were thinking.

    I watched Deadpool 2 on Thursday. It is another hard movie for me to judge. Mostly because Deadpool was a movie that took me by surprise that it even existed and was so much fun. Also, I am still on the Infinity War hangover wondering if I can ever be happy again.

    Overall I do like the movie. There were a couple of jokes that I did not notice until someone pointed out to me what they were a call back to. The first 30 minutes kind of drags, and the tone is kind of all over the place. However, when the movie is good, it is great. Domino is amazing. I want a Domino movie. IMO, Zazie Beetz is fantastic and has a great career ahead of her. T.J. Miller was terrible. The bomb they found on the train where he called in that bomb threat was his performance in this movie.

    Deadpool 2 also does the spray your face with jokes, and enough of them hit that will be funny. If you liked the first Deadpool, there is a good chance you will like this one.

    I just watched the original again last night, and its one of those movies where for me, its amazing the first time through, but gets less so the more times that you see it. The surprise and stunning way it hits you the first time is part of the experience, so thats pretty much how I expect the sequel to be as well. But even though I love that they made/make them, I'm not sure that they're movies that I'll be watching and loving in 20 years like some others.

    TJ Miller being off would be a surprise. I've been a huge fan of his as a supporting character actor for a while.

    I just watched Deadpool again a week ago and I still love it. It is one of my favorite movies. In my top 20, if not my top 10.

    I liked TJ Miller a lot in the first movie. In the second, I thought most of his jokes fell flat and he looked like he didn't want to be there.

    Is there a chance that he blew too much of his load in the first movie trying to put it over the top and left himself without enough original material left to put into the second film?

    He got into a argument with an Uber driver about politics and was arrested. Seems they were both in the wrong.

    More seriously, he apparently called in a fake bomb threat on an Amtrack train as a drunken prank earlier this year too.

    Saw Deadpool 2. Domino ruled and Cable was pretty good but the rest of the movie was kind of meh. Seemed a bit like a sketch show at times.

    I watched it last week as well and honestly, I didn't like it. Everything they preached about tradition and honor was thrown away by EVERYBODY when a legit heir challenged for the throne and won. And I sort of agreed with the bad guy....if you have the technology to heal anything, to end wars, etc....should that really be kept for a select few? I thought that was greedy as hell.

    For all the tribal unity mentality, I felt they were really cowards for turning their backs on the world.

    I think the idea was that T'Challa was starting to understand and move in that direction when Kilmonger showed up. The issue with him was that he was less about equality and more about violence, force and replacing white extremism with a black version and subjugating more than helping. I think that is why the Wakandans rebelled against him, they recognized the truth he spoke but also that he went too far - remember it was T'Challas lady friend (forgot the name) who initially suggested helping outside wakanda, but then lead the rebellion.

    I didn't have too many issues about them reclaiming the throne or not accepting Kilmonger. I think they did a good job in showing how outsiders can shake things up positively but still be a net negative. I think it did a good job showing African culture, heritage, etc. From a white dude perspective, it seemed to do a good job speaking to the oppression of black people from slavery through right the hell now.

    I also realize it wasn't a movie made for me. Like wonder woman. I also enjoyed it and approved of the messaging, but it wasn't strictly for me. That's not a knock either, I think as a society we need films that expose us to things like WW and BP.

    I don't disagree with you....I just thought it was a really mixed message, especially after one of the tribal leaders challenged and lost. All they had to do was throw in a line or two that if you abandon tradition, you bypass your right to rule....then it all worked.

    After all, Killmonger was clearly the better warrior. And his message made sense.....folks are dying in the hood while you guys are up in here living large. You can't abandon your own people and still call yourself "the good guys".

    I watched bits and pieces last night. It couldn't hold my attention. Felt far too Hollywoodized for my taste. Boring storied, over the top, cliched, underdeveloped characters, poor acting, heavily predictable, and a flat plot.

    It was rather predictable, but most Marvel movies are to a degree.

    I thought the acting was pretty solid actually - and I liked the contrast between the ... "urban" style of Kilmonger vs. the stodgy royalism of T'Challa and the Wakandans, the slightly wacky isolated tribe (the barking was hilarious in a good way, as was him ****ing with Martin Short's character). Andy Serkis is legit.

    It served it's dual purpose (as sort of a black power/exploration of african culture) but also expanding the Marvel universe and giving time to a major plot from the c imo, though I can get if it wasn't for everyone. I don't think it was meant to be. Like Wonder Woman, it was meant to be fun and engaging regardless of who was seeing it, but it had a purpose and depth that went beyond general audience.

    Saw Solo today. Was certainly a fun movie. had some nice small tie-ins to the star wars story. Donald Glover was good. Emilia Clarke was okay, but not great. Was worth seeing in IMAX venue, but I'd rank it no higher than 6th in the Star Wars universe.

    I saw it today too. Like you said, a fun movie, well worth seeing if you like Star Wars. I think once I got past the fact that Alden Ehrenreich doesn't look or sound like Harrison Ford, I was ok. He did a pretty good job of embodying a young Han Solo. This was the first thing that I had ever seen Emilia Clarke in, and I actually thought that she was really good. Her voice and accent remind me of Hayley Atwell. I'm curious to learn more about her character in future films, and what was up with her final scene.

    I like Donald Glover in the role of Lando, and he did a pretty good job of mimicking the way that Billy Dee Williams spoke as the character. I also thought that Woody Harrelson was good in his role, and LOVED the android L3-37. Maybe not quite as much as K-2SO, but they have done a terrific job of writing for the android characters in these new films. John Favreau was great as the voice of Rio.
