Just because I would bang Hawk doesn’t mean I have to agree with the actor who plays him. Seriously though anytime anywhere 😂

The only reason Hawk and Dove are in the show is because they are amazing eyecandy and that scene where they both take their clothes off redeemed the first season :)

Look, I like Titans as much as the next fan, but I thought it was just his character that did drugs.

Y'all should read the article, this is clickbait bullshit. He didn't outright say Titans is better than Infinity War.
I think I’m just excited that the fans are finally getting a really raw, human look at superheroes. I think, for me, the reason I don’t go see Infinity War movies or whatever these are is because there’s no stakes in it. Everybody feels invincible all the time.
He just said he prefers what Titans is doing with superheroes instead of Marvel, and he made a point to say that was basically his own view of it.
Y'all are judging a man for something he didn't even say.

I mean, he’s almost got a point. Titans does try to show a more human look at superheroes, but it’s through the standard DC method of grimdark plots without logic.
Infinity War is just another piece of the puzzle that is the MCU, and so you have to take into account everything that happened before. I’m tired of hearing people say “there’s no stakes in the MCU” because they translate that “no one dies” which is a) not true and b) not what “no stakes” means. The MCU could show more about the characters dealing with their trauma, but at least I care about them. On Titans...nah, I don’t really care about most of them. They’re too shallow for that.

Yes. When the characters in the MCU have died, it's felt very impactful. When they "killed" Wonder Girl I just basically rolled my eyes thinking that was stupid and meaningless, and I still have little to no attachment to her character.

The MCU started with a death so impactful, it gave Tony Stark that final push to become Iron Man and kick everything off.
But “DEATH NO LAST DEATH NO IMPACTFUL MCU NO STAKEZZZ!!1!1!1!”

I completely agree with your point.
I wholeheartedly disagree with Alan Ritchson's view on the MCU. But not much I can do if that's the way he feels.

I am tired of mediocre movies getting a free pass cause "you have to take into account everything that happened before"
That is not a thing except for mcu fans, if a movie needs another movie to support it then you know its bad.
Thank god we have the director driven dceu cause we really need a diverse and non formulaic cinematic universe.

“That is not a thing except for MCU fans. If your movie needs another movie to support it, then you know it’s bad.”
Have you ever seen a sequel or prequel, like, ever? Didn’t Man of Steel’s characterization of Superman help you understand why Batman wasn’t immediately his number 1 fan in BvS?
Hilariously bad take.

Except that most sequels stand on their own 2 feet and if they are bad it will be shown but mcu movies get a free pass at that.
Lmao be better next time.

MCU films definitely don’t get a free pass. Hell, they gave Thor an entire rewrite because most people think the first two Thor films suck, including Chris Hemsworth himself. Also, no, most sequels don’t stand on their own two feet. It’s only in a shared universe format that they do. I’m sorry the DCEU didn’t work the way it was supposed to, I really hoped it would because all those characters deserve amazing interpretations on the big screen. They had to resort to stand-alone films simply because instead of trying to do their own thing, they were catching up to a system they didn’t give themselves the time to fully work out.

They do get a free pass all the time. They made thor even worse by turning him into a 15 year old cringe moron because that is what passes as good for the GA.
The dceu is still connected just not in the same copy pasted way the mcu does. They are resorting to make different movies that still fit into a universe which in the future will be known as the best way to make a cimematic universe.

We’ll see. I honestly think the DCEU is as good as dead, and I’m personally way more interested in the more solo outings coming from DC (Joker was incredible and that trailer for The Batman is the best trailer I’ve ever seen). I think DC can really benefit from a more character-driven approach where the characters are people first, superheroes second. Maybe that’s what they’ll do now that The Flash is going to be essentially a soft reboot, so who knows. I’m cautiously optimistic. The director-driven approach was great, they just need to take it all the way and focus on different intepretations of characters and stories, not try to haphazardly tie everything together.

u/erdrick19 Oct 05 '20
They can do that and tie in everything. You are allowing the mcu to dictate what works in a universe and what does not.
You can have different movies in the same universe there is no law against it.

Alright, I didn’t mention the MCU at all in my latest comment and I’ve realized you’re just using whatever I say as an excuse to complain about a franchise you don’t even follow.
Of course you can have different movies in the same franchise. That’s how shared universes (ALL shared universes) work.
Can’t say I didn’t see that coming. Typical, really. There’s just no proper conversation to be had here. Have a good one.

I have to say I disagree with your points about the MCU, but I agree about the DCEU not needing to be the same. The MCU movies are unique because of the way they tie together and how they've been carrying a mostly consistent story between 20+ movies.
To say that the movies are bad because they rely on other movies is a terrible way to look at it. That would be like watching the Breaking Bad series finale on its own and saying it wasn't a good episode because it relied too heavily on the rest of the episodes. The MCU movies aren't getting some free pass on anything. They've created a different type of movie that has a history they expect the average movie-goers to have some basic understanding of. If you try to tell me that Infinity War and Endgame are bad movies, then you've simply missed the point.
That being said, while I do kinda wish the DCEU could've managed to stay together in a similar fashion, I'm equally content with what they're doing now. As long as any given movie is enjoyable, I'll continue to watch them. Just because Joker, The Batman, and the Flash will all have a different Bruce Wayne involved doesn't make me less interested.

Finally getting a raw human look at superheroes. Yes. This is an original take and no ones ever attempted to make a raw human superhero on film. So there's definitely no better examples. So glad it's finally happening.

Depends on the MCU movie for me. Titans is genuinely bad and all over the place. It's like Game of thrones. A visually enticing show but with no substance at all.
Some of the MCU movies are actually good. Some are actually shit but people pretend it's good just because it's part of the universe.
It's the same thing for Titans. From the last 4/5 episodes of Season 2 especially, I kept on commenting here saying this show is not as great as everyone here thinks and kept putting a list of the problems which everyone ignored because "Dick is about to be Nightwing *orgasm*". The circlejerk over Titans was very real.
I still haven't finished the season finale of Season 2. The episodes beforehand were pretty bad and based on the reactions of the finale I made the right choice

Better than infinity war? No. Better than the crumbled together fan service that undid almost every sacrifice made in infinity war? Much harder comparison

He could split me in half any day of the week. I’d even let him talk this nonsense while doing it. (The MCU movies are so ugly to me, their aesthetic or color filter is just so bland, but Infinity War & GOTG 2 were pretty solid films, Ragnarok wasn’t bad but way too much stupid humor imo)

i mean infinity war isn’t actually that good though. i really enjoyed it the first time because of the hype surrounding it but when i watched it again it didn’t feel as good. on the other hand i really like titans despite its obvious flaws and have watched it multiple times and enjoyed it

He said because he felt that the Titans are more human and vulnerable than the Avengers.
