Someone get this hothead out of here
So am I, even though, like every fighting game I purchase, I'll play it for twenty minutes and then never again.

I want to be hyped by Injustice 2, but historically I know that fighting games are just not a good investment for me. I'll probably just watch Jaime's story on youtube.
Yeah but I meant Injustice itselfSo was marvel final fight and contest of champions
I don't know which will sell better, and I don't even think MvCI looks better than Injustice 2, but a hardcore gaming community preferring to back the more hardcore competitive game shouldn't be much of a surprise.
Nor should it matter considering how regularly Gaf is wrong about a great many things
You draw a straight line from the mobile and console game
MvC doesn't tie into a mobile game yet...
I think misunderstanding my point or misunderstanding yours. From what I gathered with the Supergirl/Wonder Woman thing isn't that they don't market it as usual. But where they can focus to pull in a larger female audience as well.
And for that you need something more than your typical superhero metrics.
All she is saying is they learned a lot (as you should from any campaign) when launching Supergirl which was the most high focal superheroine product launch in the past decade. Why not use some of those lessons with Wonder Woman?
And you see it in smaller ways... or I guess ways we don't see.
The focus on Wonder Woman's pose which they find empowering, I guess. The Wonder Woman cosplay meet-up with Patty at WonderCon. Getting the cover of a magazine like W which you wouldn't see Batman or Superman on.

Ehhhh.
And another tv spot! https://mobile.twitter.com/WonderWomanFilm/status/858140824378396673
Thanks Donna Dickens
I see his point though.
If you say the name Wonder Woman. People know who she is. That's a fact.
Ice cold XD
OMG no need for a fight, that's a flawless victory already.

That's not an opinion. Me even having to defend it is weird.
I can understand taking a cue here and there from it, but a minimalist approach to promoting a Wonder Woman movie doesn't make sense, no matter how they might try and defend it.
Anecdotal but Sasha Perl-Raver of Screen Junkies, the one who dropped the WW is a mess rumor months ago, seems to have changed her tune and is saying that she knows people who have seen it and are very positive about it.

Sounds like she's just saving ass tbh
Yeah, I think we have a fundamental disagreement on the read.
It sounds like you are applying cause and effect, Wonder Woman has had minimalist TV presence up until now because modeling after Supergirl.
My read is simply they collected data from the launch of Supergirl and have a better idea of what works and doesn't work for launching this movie to a female audience.
Maybe it's a bit diff since heard her speak and not saw an article framing the argument in such a way

That doesn't even make any sense. A movie doesn't appeal to women more because it isn't being promoted as much as a typical summer blockbuster. Women more than anyone have lead the "where is Wonder Woman's marketing?" questioning over the last few weeks. And, as I said, Wonder Woman is a superhero blockbuster. You don't just market her to women. You try and get men and kids in the theater too. There's a way to add promotional efforts to try and get women more interested, but you don't apply the less is more approach and think it's gonna fly.
Cause they're full of shit. I can't honestly believe anyone that came into that thread saying "I thought it was already out". I can only believe people that thought it was out in May or later this year (maybe). Not knowing the EXACT date is whatever, I can believe that, but thinking it was coming out NEXT year or was already out are just people trying to stroke the flames and talk in hyperbole.

How were your feeling on Suicide Squad?
I had hopes despite other omens. This feels way different.

This feels like a Thor/Captain movie that critics would have tolerated 5 years ago.
Execution is everything.

Sure, not really faithful in the production team though.
People have obviously heard of Wonder Woman but who she is and her story are mostly unknown by the masses. Everyone knows about Superman, Clark Kent, Krypton, kryptonite, Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, etc, etc. Everyone knows about Batman, Bruce Wayne, Wayne murders, Robin, Catwoman, Gotham, Joker, etc, etc. What the hell do the masses know about Wonder Woman besides her lasso and invisible plane?
What did he mean by this?

I never argued otherwise. But you saying "Wonder Woman" to someone and a mental image of her popping up in their heads is still a powerful advantage that most characters don't have, regardless of how much about the character's background story they may or may not know.
Which is pretty much why I always thought DC should've had the advantage in this. Not only do they own all of their characters, three of their properties extend beyond just being comic book characters. They're deeply engraved pop culture icons. Their execution has just been shaky.
And that's talking only about the US... In France you have people around my age linking "Wonder Woman" to the old TV show they remember from their youth, and others who just have the "image" in mind, from advertising or a piece of clothing. Maybe kids, from some DC animation.
I hope the movie is good, because it's its only chance abroad, it can't count on just brand recognition.
If the film is solid. It's will review that way is well.
It's an origins movie and most of us have our expectations in check. A competent movie, some good action set pieces, etc.
Dr Strange as an example. Nothing was truly out of the box for that movie outside of its visuals.

But again. People know who she is. She's been in media for a while. From cartoons to comics.
Of course this movie will be her first push into a much bigger crowd, but people still know who she is in some form.
I don't see an issue with the movie suit at all, especially if Bruce is building him a state of the art one.

I can't help finding funny how everyday there's a "Let's complain about the DCEU" topic. It has become anedoctal at this point .
With that said Ezra's mask and body fitting uniform > Oval head Grant and garbage bag uniform to me

What do you all think of Geoff Johns going from writing Wonder Woman and The Batman to the Titans tv show with Berlanti? Does it imply some fall out from the DCEU
You're an interesting man.
Shocking news. Famed DC writer writes DC.
