Ouch.
She did say "extreme", not "all". Which, yeah, the super overzealous ones fucking suck. But, someone's gonna take it as "all Snyder fans", and it's going to be a mess.
And I really couldn't care anymore. The two sides can fight until the fiery heat death of the universe. I'm gonna go see Wonder Woman.
Visual representation of me when I see critics taking Zack Snyder snipes while praising Wonder Woman:
One critic who took shots at Snyder has already made her Twitter profile private after it was pointed out to her that Snyder came up with the story, it's still part of his DCEU blueprint and his production company put up most of the money to get the movie made.
I think a lot of us just don't like pile ons. I certainly don't and Zack makes good movies in my eyes. He doesn't deserve the Lucas treatment (neither did Lucas).
The shots I've seen of him are downright disgusting sometimes and he seems like a genuinely good person so of course I have something to say.

I think most of it -- in this thread -- is jokingly taken to the extreme opposite of what others post in a serious manner. Does the man deserve to have his intelligence questioned because he doesn't give an amazing interview? Does he deserve to be judged at all for having a larger than usual family?
That has always been a weird criticism. I mean, I guess if it were by multiple different women, but it's from ex wives and he adopted some more. Not like he was sleeping around and don't know what a condom is.
Most of us (I hope) Praise Snyder in a jokingly way. But the out of left field swipes at him are just unprofessional and mostly lazy.
You know he would've been unfairly blamed if this thing bombed (like Suicide Squad)
He is
He's the shining in the night without whom I cannot see
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite,he's the force that made me be
He is
Nostro dis pater ,nostra alma mater
He is
It goes for anything that people are a fan of that others like to shit on. Nintendo, Apple, Nolan, etc. It just so happens that Snyder is shit on more than those other companies because his work is more divisive. Calling that cultish is super short sighted and lame.

How professional. Same mistake I see gaffers making.
When this universe is the biggest thing out there, don't forget Lord Snyder godfathered the whole thing.
Is time for camerons ex wife to step up the plate and deliver a solid CBM.
Thoughts?
Some Trump fans are, like, literal nazis.
As bad as Sydner/DCEU zealots can be, that's just not a great comparison to be making.
Basically, I want the movie to be about Diana as an ambassador dealing with how the modern world has changed and how it, unfortunately, has not. That means dealing with, even if it's just on a surface level, things like race, gender, sexuality, etc. It might get cries of being for "SJWs" but....it's Wonder Woman. She's the original SJW, if we're keeping it 100.
I picked Circe as the main villain because of Perez's run, where she has some lines about how she uses to sow seeds of mistrust between men and women for the sake of revenge. I always found that interesting as it presents her as something of an inverse to Diana. You can play with that in some really interesting ways, especially if you take it beyond just gender. Dr. Psycho, as a telepath, makes for a good sub-villain who can bolster the themes of Circe's character.

I think I'd rather Bigelow do her own stuff, but if she was really interested in making one of these, I'd give it a chance. Zero Dark Thirty is a favorite of mine.

Ouch.
I mean it's a stupid statement, I hope everyone can agree on that much at least. To be fair though Trump may be the closest thing we have to Lex Luthor IRL. On the topic of the President, if he does happen to go to jail I want to see this gif everywhere.
What did he mean by this?

If Ayers leaving the DC fam then he's dead to me. Bright looks fun though 
Speak for yourself, I love Snyder not in a jokingly way.

I like Zack. I dig his style. But yeah, my praise for him is like a meme. It's funny. Based Snyder and all that.
Many of his critics on the other hand seem to genuinely hate him for some reason. Unreasonably so. Guek (rest his soul) would get legit triggered when i'd big him up. It's weird when by all accounts, Zack's at least a good guy.
That's what i'm saying lol. They're actually that and more.
People here have compared this community to Trump supporters before. This is what comes from Snyder hate for some reason.
Not that we should be surprised but the theme is in the movie
Also a clip!

Glad the theme is actually in the film itself. Looks great.
The middle one seems a bit spoilery but something people have theorized based on the actor though. Could still be wrong though and might be reading to much into it.
I didn't feel the dialogue in the second clip, "who are you?", "you will soon find out." And "as magnificent as you are, you are still no match for me." I'm not convinced about the placement of the theme song in that first clip either. But those were short clips, and I'm very excited about this movie.
What happened to Guek?
holy shit, this looks super great.
seems there's a big emphasis on getting the characters back to their roots after Snyder's 'vision' or whatever.
I expect Superman to be well, Superman from now on too.

Nope. No thanks. No spoilers for me... I... Must. Resist.
Slightly agree. The dialogue was whatever but the theme music was a bit too much.
Pretty much just what you've seen in the trailers. I don't think it spoiled anything imo
I didn't watch it, worth it?

Curse you all but me especially for being so weak.
Awesome. Loved every second of all three. No new beats that we haven't seen from the trailers so nothing spoilery. It's lit, it's going to be awesome. Though I can already tell the haters are going to moan about Gal's accent, I love it. Get hyped y'all it's happening.
Personally not sure if I can say it was better than BvS but they're so different it's hard to compare.
Regardless, Lego batnan was amazing

Loved these! And Gadot seems completely capable acting-wise from these clips.

Here. Collection of 6 released clips. It says 7 in the title but the last clip is just trailer bits. Scene I mentioned is the last one shown. Mild spoilers.

Looking good. Action scenes are dope and the sword bit is pretty funny.

Let me break down my Wonder Woman 2 fan fiction
Set 5 decades after the first, with nice period clothing (more fashion please not because she's a girl though -- I just want amazing dresses like Bonds amazing suits)
Diana is banished from Themyscira for leaving, and is unwilling to reveal herself to the world of Man but still protects them from hidden threats
Her latest case is the theft of mystical artifacts around the globe by a shadowy female figure to quick for the human eye
On Themyscira, the Amazons receive the same news and are forced to suspect Diana -- sending a cadre of warriors led by Artemis to bring her down (a big juicy role for any actress) and Robin Wright can come too
Diana's pursuit of the thief runs her afoul of ARGUS who have been following her for years and were the first to get their hands on the famous photograph before it passes on to Luthor (the major male roles would be at ARGUS but I cant think of any characters...Luthor Sr.?)
the thief of course is Cheetah meant to frame Wonder Woman and guide her to her master Circe's lair where some magic shit can happen with her Godly blood
so we have this classic spy organization ARGUS backing her, badass Amazons hunting her, and Circe beast creations battling her in an epic adventure of intrigue and it all concludes on Circe's Bond villain island
Thats what I meant by female Bond film: more Amazons, more awesome woman vs woman action, more worldtraveling, more badass.

I really love that hallway scene, and her bracelets and the truth of the lasso. She's actually really pretty cool. Diana is cute in the first scene and how she isn't used to our world and insist on holding on to the sword. I liked Gal's voice acting in the last scene with Chris.
