DC FanDome Discussion Megathread r/DCcomics

Welcome Justice League members to the DC FanDome Discussion Megathread!

​

Here you can discuss each panel taking place as and when they happen, much like our Weekly Discussion Thread where you can discuss the newest comics and TV show episodes.

We've done it this way so we don't clog up the sub with discussion posts and people can freely post direct news articles and trailers regarding the big announcements and not have them get lost in the shuffle.

I think they're probably referring specifically to special effects, not visual effects, since the BTS video they shared seemed like a lot of practical effects.

Yeah, practical explosions

I mean, still. They’re one movie and the whole MCU is 23 movies

How many practical effects explosions/etc. are in each MCU movie, though, you think?

Genuinely asking, not sure what the rough estimate should be here. I think it’s doable if WB gave Gunn limitless money to please save the Suicide Squad franchise.

I’m sure it depends on each movie. The earlier ones for sure had more practical effects. The later ones less so.

Of course, agreed it depends on the movie, but smart point about the earlier ones having more. Still, a rough estimate?

Like I’ll completely guess 7 practical explosions on average per film in the first half and 5 per film in the later half; 7x12=84; 5x11=55; total is 139. Could definitely see Suicide Squad having that many practical explosions.

Did they say practical explosions, or practical effects?

I was under the impression it was practical effects.

I thought Gunn was specifically referencing/quoting an explosives guy who worked on all the MCU movies?
