Yeah alright I'll probably watch that. Taken good cues from Marvel, hoping the movie actually delivers on the trailer promises.

- Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot omg. Match made in heaven.
- The Flash speedforce shit looks great. Completely unexpected.
- Cyborg was fine. It's a good idea to turn him into DC's kinda-Iron-Man. Way better than the random "let me track xy and shoot a rocket or two" character from various other series.
- Batman obviously is the best part of this. I like him to have a bit of snark, and given Superman's "death" making him collect the idiots that are the JLA there's a good excuse of him being the boss in the end, and not Supes.
- Superman's part in this trailer is the highlight of his DC Cinematic Universe career. Well done.
- Aquaman looks like he'd be way more fun than I thought he would be. Expected growly moody underwater Batman with a pitchfork and dolphin friends, and got grumpy Peter Parker with a beard and Moses powers. That's alright with me.
- The colors are soooo baaaad. Make it more colorful instead of a jillion blue tones.
- The music is a good mix of pre/after Suicide Squad trailer business. Could easily have been another goddamn emo version with slow drums of the same song, this one was okay. Catchy and fun.
- I still don't know who the enemy is. Or the guy on top of that cliff. Was that Jonathan Darkseid or something?
- Also I still dislike most of the Flash costume and still not sold on that Barry. I guess it's passable though. The costume I mean.
- Holy fuck Snyder likes his WW ass shots. Also, WW sure likes her warrior princess thong.
- I can't count how often I heard the "There's a problem coming!" - "It's already here!" exchange. Like damn. Couldn't think of a better setup?
- I liked how the motherbox (?) looked otherworldly. Will it PING?
- I disliked how the parademons (?) looked stupid. I guess you need your enemy putty army these times for superhero teamups.
- Weirdly enough I really like Cyborg's voice.
- "It's on him." Ha!
- "I'm rich." Ha!
- Why on earth did they think a random cyborg football scene would somehow be a better fit for the trailer than more friggin' Batman! Just admit the guy has no backstory that's worth a crap.
- Some photography looks really dang good. This movie, however it'll turn out, will be great visually.
- "Dressed like a bat. I dig it." Ha!

This looks to me like a parallel universe trailer in which the rights to DC somehow fell to Marvel Studios but they are contractually obliged to keep Snyder.
I'm still having a hard time believing it'll turn out anything but subpar but I dig the trailer and I think it might turn out to be the best DCU movie yet.

I still would like another Batfleck movie more.
 
What' the obsession of DC of using as much popular songs as possible in their movies/trailers? Reminded me of Suicide Squad.

I swear to god, if the first 20 minutes is just a collection of different characters being introduced with their own songs again..

Also I'm really interested to know how serious as hell Superman is gonna fit in with them.
 
Not feeling it. Snyder burner me one too many times.

And what's with the lack of colors!?

I'll end up watching it I know it but damn, I can't feel excited.

Green screen effect in this shot is really bad. Especially Aquaman

I enjoyed the trailer, but there have always good trailers attached to not-so-good movies. Cyborgs CGI is really rough atm.
 
I'm reading posts and I don't think people should be so defensive.

People aren't shitting on you for wanting to get excited about this.

They're warning you, cautioning you.

I mean, how has Snyder and WB's recent output inspired any confidence whatsoever? And what about this trailer indicates that things will be any different?

Snyder gonna Snyder. It's gonna look really pretty and really fake and it's going to have flat, one-dimensional characters that misread the source material.

If you're okay with that then you do you, enjoy. But people have every right to voice skepticism.

I mean I wouldn't go as far as to say warn but I definitely am skeptical about the quality of the movie. Especially judging by Snyders recent output. But overall I agree with you. People are getting way too defensive over others who think this looks like hot garbage and interpreting what they say as an indictment against their own excitement. The problem is people's inability to accept differing opinions.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
The weirdest thing for me is how schizophrenic the trailer feels. You got the trademark MCU "funny" and "witty"

TIL Marvel owned the rights to funny witty banter. Cool.

banter between the heroes, and the cheesy Iron-Man music that wore out its welcome like 5 years ago.

Because trailers cut to catchy music is so 2012 (the year Ironman invented it, ofcourse).

But at the same time, the visuals are the EXACT same bleak, grimdark, will-someone-please-turn-on-a-fucking-light we're gotten twice now from MoS and BvS. That's and Snyder doesn't seem to be skimping out of the violence again.

God forbid we get a CBM that actually resembles the panels.

Marvel stans in here... tsk. lol
 
I really like how it looks but I am not feeling the jokes at all

Seems like they're being delivered dry as fuck, but not in a good way (could just be the trailer's editing but I doubt it)
 
Look guys I loved Logan and all but Snyder literally lives and dies on how bonkers out he can make things visually
Yeah exactly , Logan is leagues of above anything Snyder puts out in terms of writing, plot, and characters. But visually what Snyder puts in a frame is outstanding just the reason for that stuff being there is usually awful.

Snyder puts more of that Eye Candy™ and fetishizing slow mo shots and shit on the screen, but like yeahhh, Logan's visuals are a lot better I stand by that.

Zack Snyder is so visually talented that he breaks the basic 180 degree rule ������ magnifique

Connective tissue has probably been cut out of that scene to fit it neatly into the trailer. In the first shot Batman's going for a kick - you can even see the Parademon he hits.
 
To think that the complaints about Man of Steel's wanton destruction would resonate so heavily that the eventual Justice League movie would take place on a mountain.

Can we expect Anderson Cooper to once again appear on screen and reassure us that all the mountain goats were evacuated?

Yah, Logan's got a Top 10 thing locked IMO but I know better than to boost up the visuals part

They're bad comparisons btw considering my favorite shot in Logan is like a 20 second shot of him swinging a shovel at a car in an increasingly ineffective manner

Logan just came out dawg.

The fuck?

Logan is a ridiculously good movie (with actual charcters, no less) but the CGI in that Mexico limo chase is goddamn laughable.

Snyder has the best eye for style, that's just a goddamn empirical fact.

He's like John Woo or some shit.

Makes everything else look amateur hour.
 
I'm just not seeing anything special here. I wish I was in the timeline where my favorite characters got the watchable movies. Somehow Snyder stumbled upon the antihype equation
 
If it's half as weird as BvS, I'll be happy but this trailer didn't do a lot for me. Doesn't matter really, whether it's Fox/WB/Disney, I'm seeing all these movies anyway.

I hope Aquaman is nerfed.
 
I havent seen it :(

I need to tho, but untill I do my point still stands :p
Run to the cinema and watch it now.

Yeah, Snyder's stuff is pretty but that's all it is. Pretty shots and surface level symbolic imagery.

I'll never get the constant complaints about how dark it looks visually. Like, why does that possibly matter? "Dark" was the least of the previous movies' problems. A comic book movie can look dark. It can take place more at night than day. That shouldn't be a complaint.

Yeah... here's the thing. We're all paying to see this movie. Honestly...

and no one's going to leave the theater thinking "well, I'm sure glad GAF tempered my hype. Losing money feels better if you go in knowing you'll probably dislike it".

What many of you are calling being on the defense might just be a "we get it" with regard to the type of comments all of us have seen prior to this trailer's release.

We know... this may suck. We get it... trailers have looked good in the past. But please, forgive those of us that aren't charging into this thread with "fool me once" ready to be ctrl+v'd as a standard post.

Right. Just so I have this clear it's like some sort of civic duty for strangers on the internet to tell other strangers on the internet to be cautious that a movie they are looking forward to might disappoint them as if there is a large contingent of children on GAF who have never come face to face with disappointment?

I think they'll be just fine without GAF's guidance.

Okay, well see you in 70+ page OT of people saying how disappointed they were with the movie.
