I saw it and I'm really confused by it. It wasn't what I was expecting, but I think I like it? One thing that is really going to hurt it's popularity is that it isn't nearly as funny or charming as the original. The tone of it is a lot more dark and they cut down on a lot of the comedy. I foresee audiences being very split.

Saw it last night and enjoyed it but I don't think as much as the first one. It seemed a little bit more somber than the first but overall it was a good sequel with it's typical comedic moments and well placed music. Characters were all great also. Drax and Yondu seemed to stand out.

Y'all call that 'dark' and 'somber'? WTF

No wonder DC movies can't compete with critics. You guys want it bright and sunny all the time. Give me a break. Vol. 2 was still a lot of fun and it had a multiple hilarious scenes. The only thing I disliked about the sequel were the forced sappy scenes (ex. Gamora/Nebula, Yondu/Rocket/Starlord) and Sylvester's idiotic cameo.

Sappy is probably closer to the word I was looking for rather than somber. Just a little slow in parts maybe. I dunno how to describe it but didn't find it dark at all though (admittedly I don't watch most Marvel films). Just a bit of a different feel than the first but as I said, it was a very enjoyable sequel.

Snyder's movies don't do well with critics because they are shitty movies.

Watchmen was not poo. In fact, the director's cut is considered a masterpiece.

300 was highly entertaining, not poo either.

Man of Steel was actually pretty damn decent.

So I beg to differ. Batman vs Superman wasn't even horrific. Just hyperbole.

Nevertheless, that's not the point of my point.

 

You said DC movies, so I was thinking mainly BvS and Suicide Squad which wasn't Snyder obviously. MofS was mostly meh. Emo Superman is lame imo.

Watchmen and 300 both got more positive ratings than negative fwiw

It does look like DC will correct course somewhat at least with Wonder Woman.

The general theory by DC fanboys that critics prop up Marvel and put down DC on purpose is just hilarious to me. Folks be in denial.

I think DC and Marvel both make equally terrible movies. If you replaced all of these iconic heroes with unknown characters, they would mostly fail or be considered mediocre action flicks at best.

None of these films, with the exception of GoTG, would stand on their own. Even the Nolan Batman flicks would have been good, not great with original or unknown characters.

      Go after Shedeur this offseason.

      I think you misunderstand what I mean by "significantly better than Bryce Young." That gets you entry into the top 30 NFL starting QB's. Not sure if you have seen that group recently, but it's not a strong one the further down that list you go. Murray is a Tier 3 if not Tier 4 QB in my book.

      Here is where you are… for purely the sake of arguing with me you are willing to suggest the 2025 Saints RBs might not be better than the 2025 Panthers RBs lol Saints have the 28th ranked rush attack.  We are top 10.   The Saints haven’t had a 100 yard rusher the entire season.  We have seen franchise best performances in a franchise known for running the rock. and see above for what our OL is also clearly better than the Saints.  Hell, Canales being forced into some mashups has often made it even stronger at times

      I am not saying there isn't truth to that but the economics and reality of the NFL are producing that. It's very hard to justify taking a guy in the 1st round, shelving him for years, having to make a contract extension and THEN hoping it all turns out okay. Not to mention, imagine that scenario after what we traded for Bryce. One thing is for certain, the QB desperation has led to bad 1st round QB picks for 15+ years now. That ain't new.  I think we need to decide on Bryce's future this offseason and we will have to. In my eyes, picking up the 5th year option is the "all-in" move for a two year period. That means you are committed to him in the medium term. Not the move I would personally make.  No matter what the decision is, I have been vocal about needing to bring in multiple QB's to improve that QB room for when Bryce falters again. How about just overall improving your team depth so that when it doesn't pan out, you at least have options on the roster? I don't feel like that is too much to ask and it's a valid bet hedge.
