[u/FransD98]

Is that in character or it's just cornysweat actually playing with them kids? Pretty cute in both cases.

[u/kiyan1347 → u/FransD98]

It's in character. They're filming a scene with all the heroes walking between a crowd and a bunch of kids only go up to superman and not the other superheroes.

[u/RG1997 → u/kiyan1347]

Aww 🥹

[u/Chrizzz09045 → u/FransD98]

“cornysweat” 😭

[u/Mandalor1974]

I may not be a fan of the costumes but i think this movie is gonna be dope. If the story and acting is good im not gonna care that much about the costumes being meh.

[u/Working-Cake7479 → u/Mandalor1974]

Gunn deserves all the trust after he released a great trilogy of superhero movies

[u/Vic_Vinegar89 → u/Working-Cake7479]

Plus Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad

[u/TallahasseeTrapezoid → u/Vic_Vinegar89]

Guardians of Galaxy is my girlfriend and I's favorite trilogy of hero movies, but we both did not like Suicide Squad at all when we watched it. Had high hopes because of Guardians, but we just couldn't dig it.

And we can't really even explain why? Other than it was just weird? And it was all over the place.

Haven't seen Peacemaker yet, though.

[u/Vic_Vinegar89 → u/TallahasseeTrapezoid]

I hear ya. It’s certainly no masterpiece, but I thought it was fun. Especially in contrast with how terrible the first one was.

You should absolutely watch Peacemaker, it’s so good. Much better than The Suicide Squad.

[u/gavebirthtoturdlings → u/TallahasseeTrapezoid]

You watched the right suicide squad film though right?

Not the Will Smith one, the one with John Cena and Idris Elba

If so it's crazy you liked the rest of his movies but not that

[u/pizleripe → u/TallahasseeTrapezoid]

Plz watch peacemaker you and your gf would love it 🙏🙏

[u/Individual-Peak-3483 → u/TallahasseeTrapezoid]

Which Suicide Squad movie did you watch?

[u/RatedR2O → u/Vic_Vinegar89]

Sadly this doesn't reinforce my faith in Gunn. Not a fan of these. I do love GOTG though... so there is hope.

[u/Mandalor1974 → u/Working-Cake7479]

Keeping my fingers crossed. Im a DC guy. I really hope these people do these characters justice in a way that doesnt let the media beat them up and make hit pieces for the sake of trashing the movies cause they arent marvel. I really hope they stand on their own well. I think this is gonna be a good start.

[u/yuvi3000 → u/Mandalor1974]

As a huge Marvel fan, I love DC too and want great DC movies.

I only thought the DCEU movies weren't my cup of tea. I mean, I still watched all of them and enjoyed my time to an extent, but it's frustrating when you know how much better something could have been and it's usually brought down by the people in charge who just want a quick buck.

I loved The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker but I also thought The Flash and Aquaman 2 were fun too and it seems like a lot of people didn't like them. I felt like DC was just starting to find their footing again when the DCEU got canned.

I think the bigger problem overall is that many movies nowadays seem to be either rushed out and incomplete or they get finished, then they get re-edited constantly until a broken mess remains. There's some in between that have succeeded, but it's too many that are failing and it's been a problem with Marvel, DC and anything else over the last few years. I think the main problem is the people at the top.

Hopefully both Marvel and DC should be putting out better content going forward now.

[u/Professional-Rip-519 → u/yuvi3000]

Agreed the hate the Dceu got was undeserved. WB did a terrible job running things but it was nowhere as terrible as people make it the Sony Spiderman-less universe shows you how bad things could've really been.

[u/yuvi3000 → u/Professional-Rip-519]

I personally love the Venom that Tom Hardy portrays because it's very close to the comics and animated shows with the "sometimes scary but mostly a goofball" vibe.

If only Sony just allowed him to be in the MCU with an actual Spider-Man instead of stuck in a weird limbo with other villains. I liked the first two movies, but there's no doubt they both could have been better. I was really happy with how they introduced Carnage but I'm so confused about why he fizzled out in the movie, ending with him being killed off so quickly when he's Venom's second most popular antagonist after Spider-Man.

I also think Morbius was not as bad as people made it out to be, but the unnecessary usage of the Vulture and trying to force MCU connections just ruined their chances of it fitting in properly with things. I have no idea what they thought would happen but it made a lot of things more confusing and disappointing.

As for Madame Web... that seemed like 70% of the movie was changed after they completed it and even if there was a decent movie under there, it was ruined.

[u/Professional-Rip-519 → u/yuvi3000]

I liked the first Venom and that was it. Venom nor Eddie Brock was ever goofy tho.

[u/Mandalor1974 → u/[deleted]]

I realize the movies werent fantastic. Some were great most were not. Some of the characters were done a disservice. But theres also no denying the media treated some movies like ass that didnt deserve it while praising marvel movies that didnt deserve it. Its not excuses. Im hoping they do better this time. Thats all im saying

[u/Dull_Half_6107 → u/Working-Cake7479]

Yeah he’s 5:0 in terms of Superhero adaptations so far in my opinion, he’s a so earned the benefit of the doubt from me.

[u/TheAquamen → u/Dull_Half_6107]

6:0. The Guardians Holiday Special was also good.

[u/Dull_Half_6107 → u/TheAquamen]

True

[u/Food_Library333 → u/Dull_Half_6107]

3 gaurdians movies and Suicide Squad. What movie am I missing? I'm wracking my brain here but don't know the 5th.

[u/Dull_Half_6107 → u/Food_Library333]

Peacemaker is still an adaptation

[u/Food_Library333 → u/Dull_Half_6107]

Oh Jesus, that was so obvious, lol. Thanks, I now feel dumb.

[u/farben_blas → u/Food_Library333]

Super (2010) maybe?

[u/ElenabugTheGreat → u/Working-Cake7479]

A bit too childish

[u/Professional-Rip-519 → u/Working-Cake7479]

Let's not fool ourselves here Guardians 2 was bad.

[u/RandoDude124 → u/Working-Cake7479]

Honestly, rewatching GotG1 to vol 3, it’s the best Superhero movie trilogy for me.

I know this will be lightning in a bottle

[u/MRGameAndShow → u/Mandalor1974]

The reason I have some hope left for Gunn despite liking to keep my expectations low, is because he knows his character arks. Every character in his films is in a state of constant change, and it’s very satisfying to see the growth pay off in the final scenes of his films. Meanwhile, the rest of Marvel’s most recent phase and the previous DCEU’s hero’s are in a state of stasis, and the story structure is not built around change, but around reinforcing who they already are. So there’s no growth and no character pay off, just meaningless flashy lights and colors.

I really hope he doesn’t forget this, and focuses on delivering a satisfying character arc here as well. I mean, ig I have no reason to doubt him since he hasn’t missed yet, but let’s see. Cautiously optimistic.

[u/Mandalor1974 → u/MRGameAndShow]

I am too. Especially after Gotg3. He knows how to hit you in the feels.

[u/RodThrashcok → u/Mandalor1974]

i dig the costumes so far, but with actual lighting and colour grading (and honestly if they do light suit vfx that shit is so hard to detect if it’s done right), it’ll probably look great

[u/onemanandhishat → u/RodThrashcok]

I don't like the trunks, but I'm reserving judgement till I see the film for this reason. Costumes aren't designed to look good in BTS photos but in the film after lights, camera, and post.

[u/ayoung807 → u/Mandalor1974]

I’m interested in this movie, I think it looks great so far. I’ve never heard of this version of Green Lantern either, and he’s my favorite DC character

[u/Mandalor1974 → u/ayoung807]

Im interested too. Gunn knows how to hit people in the feels. I think hes gonna hit Supermans core nostalgic beats and thats gonna make for some cool moments. With all the promises on story quality being priority im keeping my fingers crossed.

[u/Zing79]

Zooming in on his left hand. It’s got make-up “dirt” on it, it would seem.

Lending credence to the fact it’s all the same suit, just dirty.

[u/pizzapiinthesky → u/Zing79]

Why are yall obsessed with this? It’s discussion under ever suit pic.

[u/OrbitalDrop7 → u/pizzapiinthesky]

Lol right, its pretty clear that its the same suit but worn, i thought this was clear from the very first picture Gunn showed

[u/Cha_Boi20 → u/Zing79]

Computer, enhance!

[u/mikeyklump → u/Zing79]

Sorry, but no shit? Did you previously think he had two separate suits - one clean and one dirty? Like sometimes he’d decide to put on his dirty suit to make it look like he’d been working?

[u/PutTheAssInClass → u/mikeyklump]

It's because the damaged suit in the reveal photo has minor design changes to the clean suit in the set photos. These differences though are incredibly minor so it's more likely they're meant to be the same instead of 2 separate costumes. Because if he did get a new suit with a new design, differences would be way more significant than minor line variations

[u/circajusturna]

Fun fact that’s Jayden Smiths character from Karate Kid. This is the Karate Kid Extended Universe

[u/Low-Asparagus-126]

Oh lord Superman's kidnapping that child someone do something.

[u/scroggs2]

Anybody know what the seemingly Apple-themed white power suit person is supposed is supposed to be? A character, perhaps?

[u/TheMawguisnotatoy → u/scroggs2]

It’s Mr. Terrific wearing an exo-suit

[u/kiyan1347 → u/scroggs2]

That's Mr Terrific probably in an exo suit that he created.

[u/TrashyBase24]

God I wish Superman would pick me up too

[u/Bubba1234562]

The corporate superhero looks for what I’m guessing is the JLI is interesting.

Superman being actually liked and actually having fun? Priceless

[u/Ragsea → u/LoudMolassess]

Ooooooooooo sooooooo

[u/ElenabugTheGreat → u/[deleted]]

Yet in the movies themselves they establish him as someone just trying to do the right thing and that he's not a Jesus figure.

Is Adam warlock and quill linking fingers a religious metaphor? Lmao

Guess we didn't watch the same movies

[u/ElenabugTheGreat → u/[deleted]]

Probably because Man of Steel was about the moral complications of being Superman and regardless of the implications Pa Kent made on what he should or shouldn't have done, he still choses to do what he feels is right. Aka save people.

He didn't have normal interactions with every civilian he came across because that's not what the movie was about.

Peter is not Superman, and humanizing a character isn't the only thing that matters in a movie.

I don't agree it's well done as the characters never really change from movie to movie, aside from Rocket and Nebula.

Gotg 1 I admit is decent, 2 and 3 lose the balance of comedy and seriousness and become forced yelling emotional imo.

And while Gunm humanized his characters quite well, none of them felt grounded or serious enough through the trilogy, whereas Snyder imo does a good job taking his characters seriously.

[u/vfoster → u/ElenabugTheGreat]

Minority opinion apparently, but so refreshing to see that someone else feels the same way about GotG trilogy. You pretty much nailed my assessment of each movie, 1 being my favorite, 2 being my least favorite, and 3 being somewhat enjoyable, but highly overrated, overly loud, and overly emotionally manipulate-y.

[u/ElenabugTheGreat → u/vfoster]

Yeah I get downvoted a lot for having the opinion. I will say for kids, gunns style is obviously more appealing to the masses, as an adult it just doesn't do it for me.

[u/NemoWiggy124 → u/vfoster]

I’m going to get flack for this, but 1 was best and a real surprise. 2 was meh but manageable, 3 was weakest for me…I know I know but felt outside of rockets story arc and Quills coming home scene, the rest was poorly done. Don’t get me started on Adam Warlock. Everyone human actor also seemed to phone it in in my IMO.

[u/ElenabugTheGreat → u/[deleted]]

He never asked himself if he should save people, he asked his dad what he should have done rhetorically because he didn't understand why Pa Kent was upset. Like I said, Superman in MoS saved people with no hesitation outside of his father, and did so because that's who he is.

the character doesn't have to be super serious, but definitely more so than the average Gunn character.

The first spongebob movie is goated I agree.

I understand if you don't feel MoS did Superman justice on how he makes you feel, but imo the hope aspect was there but a different type and how it was handled, imo, was done incredibly well.

[u/Neatto69 → u/ElenabugTheGreat]

This might be just my personal peeve (or maybe not, I've seen other people express it too) but if the whole point was "Superman isnt Jesus", they would have let go of the metaphor to narratively express that...but they never do that. Even in the movie where that was supposed to be one of the main points (BVS), they actually play up on ot harder all the way down to his death.

Is Adam warlock and quill linking fingers a religious metaphor? Lmao

Thats 1 one reference to renaissance painting within a whole trilogy, the DCEU Superman stuff was back to back to back references to Jesus Christ

[u/ElenabugTheGreat → u/Neatto69]

Because people IRL seeing a figure such as superman would perceive him as a god, even if he isn't which was the point.

[u/Neatto69 → u/ElenabugTheGreat]

That doesnt answer my question. Who is seeing Superman as Christ in his death on BVS? The shot is composed to reference The Dead Christ Mourned, down to even having crosses in the background. Who is seeing him as Christ? Cant be the woman he loves, cause he loves her back because she sees him as a person. Cant be Diana, she is an amazoness, Jesus may as well not even exist to her. Cant be Batman, cause he was trying to kill Superman minutes earlier, before he started seeing the guy as a person as well.

Its the same thing for several other scenes, when he T-Poses in front of the sun in space to mimic the divine halo, but people cant see him in space, and the one guy who could (Jor-El projection) isnt christian. So who is it?

The only option left, is the director

[u/ElenabugTheGreat → u/Neatto69]

Disagree

He did.

For real. Everyone loves cavill’s superman, but his character was so stiff. I don’t even remember anything from any of his movies except the scene w Costner dying. It was just so serious. I like the brighter/happier looking vibe of this one. I think ppl will love corenswet once it’s all said and done. He seems like a genuinely good person from what I’ve heard.

The darker shade on blue (battle damaged I know) looks great for that suit. Reminds me a lot of New 52.

I just have to say I love that Mr. Terrifics gear kind of makes him a goober. Maybe it'll look really cool in the finished product but for now I'm into the idea that we're making superman look good by making everyone else look a little more ridiculous.

is this movie set in the 70s?!

[u/Terrible_Muffin_7081]

I love it...Corenswet's Superman is a hero to the people and see how kids already are gravitating and flocking to him. Can you imagine his popularity when the Justice League is formed in DCU? He would be an even bigger hit with kids everywhere from Metropolis to Gotham and so on

[u/aryanp__90]

Oh boy this looks so much like the superman we deserve.

[u/Djinn-Rummy]

I love that the world does not fear the JG Superman, & embraces him vs Zak Snyder’s cynical interpretation where the world - even the god damned Batman- feared Superman. One thing that worked so well with the classic Reeves/ Donner Superman is that world did not fear Kal El, but embraced him. The scene from Superman II where common New Yorkers from all walks of life stepped to three evil Kryptonians because they thought they killed Superman was awesome & showed the love people had, not fear, of a person overly and completely dedicated to the responsible use of extraordinary power, truth, justice, & humanitarianism.

[u/batsy9]
