Yup. Beta is fun.
Depends on the single player stuff. I already have my fighting game that I'm putting my effort into in SFV. If I pick up Injustice it would be just to see the story and whatever else it has.

😢 Oh well..how's the netcode looking so far?
The really ironic part about Snyder not getting Watchmen is when you compare the Watchmen ending to real life, Snyder's decision holds up to scrutiny. People say the world would never believe that a creature of their won creation who causes an unprecedented attack on YC would cause the world to really around the US in defence against the greater evil. But the 9/11 attacks and OBL show that is clearly not the case.

Hell yes bruv. I don't even fuck with fighters that much, let alone netherrealms ones but the swamp thing and Robin videos got me hyped
MVC is a day one for sure too. But man its gonna be really wack if they drop the gawd Wolverine. Deadpool will be missed too after the last game
Yea, sorry. My notifications were turned off and I didn't see the messages until the next morning.
Did he not initially only have a 2 film deal after BVS?

My Wonder Woman was no joke in Injustice 1. I don't get anything at launch these days, but will gladly wreck all of you when I get back up to speed.

Not until it's on sale tbh. I don't put enough time into fighters to justify full price.

It's okay, but there are some really bad lag spikes and idk if it's from the game or the fact that people don't respect the fact it's a US only beta and I'm fighting fuckers from Australia...

So even in games he is a boring fucker? What an awful character.
What's funny is a good Superman player was a great foil to a good Batman player.

I usually found it to be the other way around. A good Superman could find ways to start that 2 punch combo string, and Supes always had an advantage with his strong zoning and that Super move that was like 1 or 2 frames even from fullscreen. But a good rushdown Batman messes up all his spacing and makes him very uncomfortable.

I've argued this in the past. Snyder shined the light on the ugly side of humanity and people couldn't handle it. Superman isn't the problem, we are.

Would buy that special move if it was DLC.
I agree with the first comment there, Im still salty to be honest.
I stand by this, MOS is an underrated gem. I'm not talking about a solid good movie, I'm talking great-amazing movie. It keeps continually climbing charts on best of comic book movie lists.
I don't know about Injustice but MKX had huge problems on PC that Boon promised wouldn't exist. But an outside company ports them to PC.
Snyder put Superman in a post 9/11 world. With heightened paranoia and xenophobia running rampant, it's no wonder that huge swaths of people fear him and question his intentions. Quite frankly, it's a precise depiction of the current state of humanity. If a being like Superman showed up tomorrow, you think people would be running out of their houses to give him a hug? Of course they wouldn't. They would correctly resort to asking questions and asking for protection.
I like how Snyder also puts out the image of people treating him as a God. You just know that in some part of the world, Clark would be seen as a messiah. I find that kind of stuff to be awesome. It makes you ask questions and it makes Superman that much more relatable. He's not sure about any of it. On the inside he's conflicted. Honestly, who wouldn't be?
This all feels like Singer with returns to be honest, "wait for my next movie, this was only preparing the ground"
Ok now he made humanity how its supposed to react in this times, what if WB decided to scrap that and fire his ass? he left an incomplete Superman story with Superman nowhere to be found as a symbol of hope.
I dont know how to explain myself but Superman feels like a background character in this large universe that tries to understand him and accept him, I see a large falw in that myself.
Like he is the main character but not at the same time, feels wrong to me.
This sounds like you just wanted perfect Superman from the start where there is no sense of character growth. How do you grow a character who has been presented as perfect from the first moment you see him?
Even if Snyder had been scrapped it doesn't mean he did a bad job it just means he didn't get to finish. It's easy to look at MoS and BvS and say "Oh Superman is a background character" but you'd have a hard time justifying that when literally everything about the world is in response to his actions. From some no one civilian to the government to the likes of someone like Batman. Background characters usually aren't afforded such importance in an overall narrative.
We already saw the struggle in MoS.
After a movie you think it make sense we start to see him how it is? How many movies he need?
I mean.
Sounds like they took a 3 arc story and turned it into a 3 movie story.
I'm a huge DC Fan and SS is by far absolute and utter garbage. It's a hot mess that's somewhat entertaining on the first go. BVS UC is so much better in my mind, it's a better thought out movie.
There was very little struggle in MoS and it was fairly localized. It was about living up to the expectations placed by his fathers. In BvS it's amped to a global scale which is a natural progression. At the end of BvS his words hold some value when he says "This is my world" which prior to that he was of the opinion he didn't belong and was just trying to be something his fathers wanted. He's embraced it by that point so the natural progression for JL is your "proper" Superman.
I think Squad was fun and brisk, the Ultimate Cut has higher highs then it, but I just don't like it takes on Superman. For that it gets knocked down a couple of pegs.
I disagree, MoS treated global scale too, world engine was about to destroy everything and he chosed earth as his home, he killed Zod, at the end of MoS we see a more confident Superman talking to the general, then it all went back to depressed Supes in BvS.
There is animated movie about the same thing BvS was and didnt had a depressed Superman, they chose poorly how to introduce Batman by regresing what MoS accomplished.
This is why Im not suprised by peopel saying "emo superman again?" is been two movies already.

Yeah, that's the point, not much different than God.
I mean, my point is that he should be featured more in its own damn movie according to Snyder, in JL Superman will be I dont know if Im right here but Snyder said that no? that SUperman will be a "central focus" again?
I would love to be wrong on this but it all seems like he wont be in the movie that much more than BvS and that makes me angry as fuck.
They took Superman as a plot device for the fucking DCEU.
Then they failed because Superman isn't god.
Even down to his earliest incarnations in the Golden Age and with the radio Superman has always been a pretty human character at his core, beucase it's Clark Kent at the forefront and not Superman. Hell the radio show from the 30s/40s understood that well and slowly retconned clarks parents in and made Clark Kent the actual persona.

It's to be seen if JL appropriate, and naturally, concludes that arc. But I agree that it's the intent, and while I have misgivings about Supes' portrayal in MoS and BvS, I respect their choice to create a relatable story for these mythical characters. Can't recall where I first heard the comparison, but it is not unlike The Last Temptation of Christ (though Scorsese is a far better filmmaker than Snyder).
