sifth Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Yea, that trailer was rather painful. This was made before James Gunn came into the picture, I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't be the only one who feels like "wake me up when the new continuity starts." I think they’re having their cake and eating it; Flashpoint is rebooting some stuff, but other stuff (coincidentally the stuff they already had on the slate) carries on. But I had to google that, so the average cinema goer will probably assume as you did, as they appear to have done for Shazam 2 and stay at home. I imagine Gunn’s Superman will be the first to get me to the cinema (not including Flashpoint). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit harsh but yeah, I was kind of getting those vibes as well. I dunno. I don't think it's a bad trailer exactly. Just a bit formulaic.

Heartofice Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I wonder if the point WB/DC thought ‘fuck this, we gotta change something!’ was seeing the first cut of Blue Beetle. Maybe, but could just have likely been any movie they made recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sifth Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 You know, for all the problems the trailer had, it's the voice of the AI that bothers me the most. I always expected the voice to be more scary, but it sounds too friendly for some daft reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So more like the voice in MoonKnight… which is kinda the same origin as here in some ways. sifth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the voice STEM from Upgrade would be my ideal voice for the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sound very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is this, a Marvel movie? Bigger question is, what's that "dude" doing working at the museum in Athens? He seems awfully "Southern California" for someone who should have a Greek accent. I dunno. I do intend on seeing this sometime, but I'm afraid whatever virtues or flaws this movie has will always be overshadowed by its failure at the box office. It's a now virtual certainty that this thing will not reach Morbius' cume, which is less than DC: League of Super Pets (which I liked), and less than half of Black Adam. Yikes. And this is in the same month where other sequels have set franchise records and Mario Brothers is having a huge opening. There have to be people at WB who're scratching their heads over this. Marvel Studios too for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhom Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Leaning into the Sopranos style font with the red lettering and such. I posted about HBO changing their streaming name to Max. This really drives it home. I have no tie to the "Max" name while HBO talks prestige shows to me. I think its a huge marketing mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Yeah, there's some real Gandolfini-ness to his appearance that I didn't think of when I saw the film. I think it works. I'm interested. I do wonder what the plan is for HBO Max in Europe, or Sweden anyways. We have some sweet "life time" deal which is like ... €5 per month for "life", whereas regular is now nearer to €9 per month. If they announce this in Europe and say, "HBO Max is ending", I'm guessing they'll offer a one-off discount for a year and then back to regular rates after that. That will be quite the boost up in pricing, admittedly, but so far HBO has most of the shows I want to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
