    I was kind of enthused that DC is getting some of the other, less boring characters out of the catalog, even if they stupidly parallel Marvel's (Dr. Fate=Dr. Strange, both with greying British actors, Hawkman=Falcon, both with black actors, Batman=Daredevil, both skinny, emo British dudes, etc.).

    Of all the comic book characters the Rock could play, this is the stupidest one. Like, literally half of the X-men, or just about any villain in DC/Marvel. Fuck, he could buck the trend and go make some Image characters, but nope. Black Adam. FFS.

    The whole premise of this movie is Black Adam deciding to be good or bad, while Aloha McEyebrows just grimaces at everything? This looks stupid, because of how over-powered he is. The fuck is the point of watching the Rock never take any damage or have anything to lose?

    God, DC refuses to not suck at movies.

    If you think that’s awesome, they want to make a Spectre movie.

    For those of you unfamiliar, Spectre is the most powerful character in the entire DC universe. Everything involved with him is limitless, he can do whatever he wants and never be killed. Nothing is his match. That won’t be boring.

    But don’t make “Lobo” onto a movie ever— him being one of maybe the two cool characters in the entire DC catalogue. Deathstroke has already been beaten to death.

    One of the things that turned me off recently was his appearance on the ManningCast during Monday Night Football this past season. He was one of the guests, and he clearly kept trying to get free promotion for his tequila by putting the logo-labeled merch in his shot. You could tell he'd been told not to mention it and show it, and he did it anyway. ESPN ended up putting a graphic triangle across the corner of his shot to block the bottle he'd placed there.

    The was so douchey. It immediately reminded me of every half-ass that writes a book, every televised interview they conduct they are sure that they have a big stack of hardcover books as their backdrop with THEIR BOOK facing the camera.

    Ye gods. Welcome to Cringe City.

    With The Boys back on Amazon, I don't even know why you folks are bothering with DC/Marvel

    My reaction to every super hero movie since The Dark Knight "Eh, that was ok I guess"
    My reaction to The Boys "HOLY FUCK THIS IS GREAT!!!"

    Urban is amazing in the show. Homelander is also superbly cast.

    Reading up on the wiki and yeah, such a painfully obvious choice for him to make. Stronger than Superman, faster than Flash, immortal, ageless, super IQ. Gosh, is there nothing he can't do?
    It gives "Michael Scott in improv class" energy.

    I thought Logan, Infinity War, and The Batman were genuinely great, but yeah, The Boys is such a great deconstruction of the superhero genre.

    With CGI (and costume depts) these days, I’ve always hoped DC would try to make a Kingdom Come movie. But that would require the story being very important, and that isn’t how superhero movies are made these days.

    I don't know if this will be any good:



    But, Ana de Armas in an NC-17 film? Um, yes, yes I do want to see that.

    I’ll admit, this one got me. I wasn’t expecting that ending.

    This cast looks fantastic, but the trailer didn't light my world on fire. If Clue and Knives Out had a baby . . .

    So weird they shot it at the same time as “X”. It was great, but didn’t seem like it required a an origin story, a peculiar one at that.

    Cillian Murphy deserves to be more famous.

    I assume this is the Oppenheimer movie what does look good. I need to catch up on my Nolan movies.
