Yup. I wonder, isn’t it too soon to call Gunn a “horribly beautiful mind,” whatever that’s supposed to mean? Isn’t his rep built mostly on Vol 1? What was horrible or beautiful about that movie?

I'm guessing it's supposed to more be referring to his pre-GOTG days, which are considerably much more adult. Hell, that's probably why he ended up writing those live action Scooby Doo films, since those were supposed to be edgier takes on the material before being massively retooled. Granted, he probably got the job in this instance strictly because of the success of GOTG (especially with the previous SS film trying to ape it), but I suppose his general filmography made it an easier sell for the marketing.

mstrox 6,637 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Before he got big money projects, Gunn was something of a b-movie auteur, graduating from Troma-level schlock to more polished things like Slither and Super. His career path has followed the Sam Raimi/Peter Jackson route to respectability. (still think that “beautiful horrible mind” or whatever sounds dumb, though I think the movie should be a lot of fun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,637 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Comic books are inherently silly and comic book movies should contain some of that DNA too. I did not think anything in the trailer was groaner-level, and DC has proven to me that it can make so-so movies better with irreverence and style (Shazam, Birds of Prey) and make so-so movies worse by making them deadly serious (Snyder/Snyder/Snyder) Edmilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,637 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I answered your question in the next sentence (I didn’t hear any groaners). Have you ever rolled around the aisles laughing at any preview? I liked the group threatening Doctor Who on the rooftop, I like the dumb shark, and I like the existence of Polka Dot Man. It seemed like it would be funny enough. I liked both of his GOTG movies, the first more. If the humor is like that, I’ll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so, since I really enjoyed Guardians Vol. 1, but again, this one doesn't seem to be funny at all (even though it tries to be). Maybe I'm putting too much stock in the trailer.

TSMefford 1,509 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I'll believe it when I see it finally finished on a screen. Lol. The film seems cursed. I'm almost expecting them to fire him midway through or the film to go through numerous delays after it's been shot. Guess we'll see what happens. I very much enjoyed the new IT films, so I have faith that this guy could pull it off. At this point, I have no idea what they're going to do with it.

Jay 37,249 Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 From the article I linked to Quote The production start comes after over six years since the Ezra Miller-led superhero film was first announced in 2014. Throughout its development, the project has suffered multiple setbacks regarding its creative team. Before Andy Muschietti officially boarded the project, a number of directors and writers were previously attached to The Flash movie including Seth Grahame-Smith, Rick Famuyiwa, Joby Harold, and John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein.

rough cut 1,714 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Oh. Yes, it doesn’t bode well, but here’s to hoping. It might be naive of me, but I am generally inclined to be positive about an upcoming project until I can judge it with my own two eyes. Unless it involves Lucy Liu. Then I’m equally judging.

Edmilson 7,367 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Benjamin Wallfisch to Score Andy Muschietti’s ‘The Flash’ That was predictable, but fine. I liked Wallfisch's Shazam score and the Flash is a character that can inspire a pretty nice theme, judging by his music on Elfman's JL (didn't care for Junkie's theme though).

I feel pretty confident Wallfisch is going to quote Elfman's Batman theme (especially since Keaton has officially signed on), and possibly his Flash motif.

You not only hate Snyder but his fans too? Every brand, franchise or celebrity brings along its hardcore fanatics, especially in the US. You should know that better than anyone. This is nothing compared to some other things I've seen. Things I sadly cannot post here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,637 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I don’t harbor any ill will towards Snyder fans, but mainly I just look at them with bafflement! If they like it, good for them! Campaigning for something they like is probably as useless as any other internet petition and they probably should have saved their money instead of renting a billboard, but it doesn’t affect me, so whatever. I’m happy that WB seems to not be interested in hashtag restoring the Snyderverse, though, because it increases the likelihood that their superhero movies will be fun.
