          I highly recommend the remake with Nic Cage. Haha, no I really don't. It's Nic Cage-level bad on steroids, oxy and crack.

              No thanks I read somewhere that after hearing that people found it unintentionally funny, he argued that they were trying to make it like a dark comedy. "No guys, its intentionally unintentionally funny. I meant do do that!"

                        I'm sure you've seen the Darkseid teaser that Jason Mamoa posted today. Just curious if this was the tease that you've mentioned would be in the "Snyder Cut" but would go unfulfilled.

                        If it is, I'll give it to ya. It's not breaking any ground and just has me going "meh"... Kinda glad they got this out of the way now.
                        It's never too early to start the Pre-game festivities

                        Go Cats!!! GO BLACKHAWKS!

                        Cuck the Fubs... Let's Go WHITE SOX!!!

                        • Well...yes and no. Darkseid is the tease but that particular scene is not how the film ends. In fact, that is part of the beginning of the film. In the theatrical cut Darkseid (although technically Uxas at that point...ya being a geek!) was replaced by Steppenwolf during the "History Lesson". The Snyder version had a much longer opening where it describes how Darkseid tried to conquer Earth during the time of the Old Gods (Zeus and Ares) and how they defeated him not Steppenwolf.

                          I will admit though...I was actually wrong about how different the Snyder Cut will be. According to the people who would know better than I ever could it is going to be a much different film. I guess I never realized how much Whedon changed when Snyder quit/was replaced. I have seen some of the original versions of scenes now and the difference is actually quite glaring both in style and content. If they are right and Snyder is being allowed to basically make the film they blocked him from making for various reasons then this will be a fundamentally different story with different beats and looks. (and much longer...Whedon was forced to a shorter run time to maximize showings since the film was going to underperform badly) There will be more of the Amazons, Cyborg's part will be almost completely different and so will Superman's. (i.e. the reshoots with the cgied out mustache will all be taken out and Snyder's shots will be put back in...which actually look much better visually) Plus Arthur's story will be bigger as well as he will interact with the characters from Atlantis more. Then the Darkseid storyline will be put back in (Whedon took almost all of it out) which back then I didnt much care about but now would kind of like to see. (and not just because Ana Duvernay is still working on her New Gods film)

                          I cant say the film will be better because I cant trust Snyder to tell the story correctly (though the visuals should be nice) but it should at least look more consistent and less rushed in certain parts. Since it is going to streaming WB has nothing to lose on it and it all but guarantees the Snyder fans will get HBO Max which is all that matters to AT&T. The cast is pumped up about it which is nice. (some are even helping out with new scenes and redoing audio)

                          Rumor is if it doesnt crash and burn it is only the beginning though. HBO Max (much like Disney+) is changing the model for all of these studios going forward.

                            It made 10x its budget and had an 85% on Rotten Tomatoes. Who is underrating it?

                            They are in fact overrating it because it was dumb.
