They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
But theres two Marthas. Did you even watch BvS?!
If I'm trying to avoid GoT leaks, I wouldn't be posting in a thread specifically labelled GoT spoilers.
What route did people expect this film to take instead of an "Avengers" route of introducing heroes and then assembling the team? Should it have been Bruce opening up emails of quicktime files on his laptop for the first couple minutes and then time skip to the fully assembled JL arguing about whether they should dig up Superman's grave?
They could have orchestrated a scenario where the heroes are forced to converge in one place to stop a common threat. They didn't have to go the deliberate lets assemble a team route.
Well, that's kinda lame. Seeing the heroes together is more than just them being in the same physical location. The fundamental appeal of them is their relationships together. I like seeing batman and superman act as friends. Seeing martian man hunter and superman bond over being beings who both lost their home planet. Stuff like that.
I don't know if they need to be a team to make this happen, but they need to be friends. I have little interest in a justice league that's nothing but business.

Could've been dope to see a New Frontier type situation.
But as is, it has a little of that.
Ultimately you have Cyborg, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman join Batman for their own reasons. Flash is the only one who immediately joins up with Batman, and from the sounds of things, gets in way over his head.
The bleed line
It's like the League's original origins, but it's kind of goofy as well with how they all end up there.

This is the line that simultaneously makes me hope this is fake and believe it is real.
"Is he with you?"
"I thought he was with you!"
The script practically writes itself.
Seriously though, they still would have to spend time introducing characters to the audience and give them context, even if it is retroactively through exposition. Plus, if they just appear you have to deal with the questions of "well if they just showed up, why weren't they there to fight Doomsday or Zod when he was about to terraform the Earth?"
Team origin movies are still an origin story about the circumstances a team got together, so I don't think you can really dance around that if the main characters are all an ensemble of characters sharing the spotlight.
What if you frame it like a war movie, and you have people who don't really know each other in combat together forced to bond as a matter of survival? Drop them in the middle of a conflict right at the beginning, but give them moments of respite to get to know each other in a non combat state. If they really want to differentiate themselves from Marvel they don't need to betray the characters when they can just change the story structure.

Wonder Woman planted a false hope in people's minds.
Fuck Alfred, what about Morpheus?
Everyone forgets about Alfred.
Or they can meet in a prison and realize they have to reluctantly form a team to stop a powerful evil being from destroying the universe.
No one has done that yet.

Batman is going to get lantern power sooner or later, because why not.

Why give Batman lantern powers when he can become the Bat God?
It's accurate. Thor Ragnarok has been rated here in Singapore and the classification database and all cinemas list it as 130 minutes.

It sounds about as bland as any point for point rundown of a cape movie but the Whedonesque bits mixed together with whatever bullshit Snyder was cooking up make me think that this is going to be some hot garbage.
You mean Black goliath?

Morpheus betrayalton, he's Goliath now.
Didn't they only want him for a few seconds?

One of them is dead man.
The parts with bloated Ben and a different hairpiece are Whedon's. Also the ones where Superman has some digital blur around his mouth.
They teased that Lois is actually Green Lantern in the last trailer...

Smartphone that is actually useful, its health app actually heals you for example.
Guardians of the Galaxy was not a team up of individually well known characters though. Having a large cast isn't the issue. Guardians also didn't have individual films for say Star Lord or Gamora that were middling to bad to sour things. Guardians was new, and it did its job competently. Man of Steel and Batman V Superman already lowered my own expectations for Justice League. I like Jason Mamoa, so perhaps solo Aquaman turning out well might have me back in for the next film.

Very true. Guardians was so great in part because the gang was thrown together by circumstance, and we got to know them as the film progressed.
Its only a problem if not handled correctly.

Who do you think wrote this, Stephen King?
I feel that's splitting hairs. In Avengers, the team was put in the same physical location by Fury, but the reason they succeed is because they unite against a threat they cannot stop alone. The "We have to come together to stop this thing we can't do on our own" is kind of a staple of the team up genre. Even suicide squad did this. The only distinction your suggesting is cutting fury out and letting the world events put them in the same location.
Which....*shrug* I guess what I'm saying is that I don't really care about the plot stucture. It's plot. They can do the same thing as avengers or do something radically different or something inbetween. Hell, I would take a movie that has them all sitting in a room and chatting with each other the entire time as long as the character work is done.
That's the important bit, the character work. I honestly don't care how they get to it so long as that's done. If they want to use the avengers plot structure because that plot structure is effective at getting to that, then I don't fault them for it.

Nah let's do motherboxes and parademons
Wasn't that just Aquaman's poster and it was referencing the seven seas?

I was just kidding about the 1.7B, but it'll still make bank. BvS and SS were straight up garbage and made major bank. WW was good, but not that good to have the legs it did. DC movies are kind of special like that, or at least they've been so far.

There's no way there's enough Atlantians named Martha to make that work.
