There's no bullshit except from you people. Rather than any typical suspension of disbelief that is required for any entertainment media, you try endlessly to find plot holes that don't exist, and you criticize them for doing things differently than Marvel. That sequence where Diana gets the files and sees the rest of the Justice League on her computer is when I started cheering in the theater, looking around to the people next to me as we all had giant smiles on our faces saying "this is so fucking awesome!" The movies are actually connected. Not just by having some of the same characters show up and not by a 10 second scene after the credits, but the full movies themselves are interconnected. That's what makes them great, and unfortunately it seems to be too much for a segment of the audience.

They don't offer anything good or memorable but aren't bad enough to really laugh at either aside from individual moments here and there. --- "You need to lay off the peanut-butthurt and u-jelly sandwiches" - Neon Octopus <cite>Gamer99z posted [p:891130501] in Yo, do I n...

Wait, that tiny nothing Asian lady in the hipster glasses is supposed to be Mercy Greaves? wtf I should also mention that Lex is as bad as I was expecting. That speech he makes in his party seems like something that was improvised and accidentally left in. It's really impressive how this cinematic universe completely botched both Luthor and Joker. How does that even happen? The Luthor I give you but Jared Leto definitely wasn't a bad Joker. They didn't give him enough time to shine but it really wasn't a bad Joker. My only issue was with the over use of tattoos (they went a little to far) but other than that I liked what I had seen of him in SS. Batfleck and Leto's Joker could have made for an awesome Batman movie. People really like to hate on Leto's portrayal of Joker but it was one of the closest renditions of him to the comics. --- How can one person post so much stupid s***? <cite>MuayThai85 posted [p:891130614] in Yo, do I n...

I did think the dream sequence was cool though, if you accept that this Batman is a paranoid lunatic who is not above using excessive force if he deems it necessary. I think Snyder is a huge Dark Knight Returns fan. --- Audio Theater: For discussion of podcasts, radio, audiobooks, and the like https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1364- <cite>SmidgeIsntBack posted [p:891132956] in Yo, do I n...
