On Decisions

I just saw an article on CBR.com claiming that the post credits scenes from “Justice League” was better than the post credits scenes for “Marvel” movies over the last few years. It’s here https://www.cbr.com/justice-leagues-post-credits-tag-is-actually-better-than-marvels/ . No.

SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN “JUSTICE LEAGUE” [SPOILERS]

So the first scene if “Superman” starting a race with “The Flash”…. We just did this on “Supergirl” a couple years ago and it was done better there. If they were gonna do this it would’ve been better as an opening to “The Flash” movie or the next “Superman” movie. Better yet show some of the actual race. It was cute but not great.

The second scene… Okay for some reason I was looking away at first and I heard laughter. And I was like “oh shit a better version of “The Joker”? The I saw a bald guy and thought “oh even better, a better version of “Lex Luthor”… No it was just a decoy…. The “real” Lex Luthor has escaped prison… The effin’ Jesse Eisenberg “Lex Luthor” still exist… Nothing against the actor personally. In fact it’s more how the character was written that sucks. I literally almost want to knock the movie down a whole letter grade for this. Then we see “Deathstoke” and that was cool, and the “league of our own line” was good.

[/SPOILERS]

It’s not even that “Marvel” post credits scenes have be particularly great because many haven’t, but “Justice League’s” definitely weren’t better. Plus I don’t care what anyone says the one for “Spiderman: Homecoming” was funny as hell.

That’s it for this week! Check out new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” on Tuesdays-Thursdays. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

On “Rotten Tomatoes”

When you’re young you pick sides on things that don’t matter. You’re a fanboy (or girl (FEMINISM!)). So if you’re somewhere around 25 or under and you’re a fanboy I don’t blame you. I was one. Almost everyone is. Hopefully though as you get older you realize companies don’t give a shit about you. Defedning a company’s “honor” means nothing. You realize you loyalty should be to quality. Screw who makes whatever it is. Both “Marvel” and “DC” have great characters. It’s the characters that matter.

“Marvel” makes better movies. Period. It’s not even close. It’s not debatable. Art is subjective but there are standards when it comes to writing, humor, pacing, ect. “Marvel” movies are better written, better paced, the funny parts are funnier, and there more and better action. Sadly, though “Justice League” is the best movie they made yet it’s a critical failure may already be a flop. Too little too late

Saying all that, because “Marvel” makes better movies “DC” fanboys have to make excuses for why move of the “DCEU” movie are critically panned. The most insane one is the “Rotten Tomatoes” rigged conspiracy. Here’s why that isn’t true:

• They simply average reviews. Someone might say “well they might only include bad reviews to change the score for…. Reasons”… They wouldn’t because…
• They are partially owned by “Warner Brothers” who also owns “DC Comics”. “Warner Brothers” likes making money. Then someone might say “..but other reasons”
• “Wonder Woman” got insanely high reviews and it sucked. In fact it was named the best superhero movie ever by them or something. Again C+ movie if you’re kind. Maybe slightly better than “Thor 2” which was the worst “Marvel” movie. You can see that bullshit for yourself here https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/50-best-superhero-movies-of-all-time/5/ . Someone then might say “that’s the exception that proves the rule”
• Shut up

So no they’re just bad movies. Are the reviews for “Justice League” a little harsh? Sure. It’s being compared to the 2^nd best comic movie ever, “The Avengers”. “Marvel” makes stuff that gets nitpicked to death too. Completely unrelated but “All Eyez On Me” gets treated like it gives you cancer and at very worst it’s an okay movie that tries to do the impossible job of summing up “2pac’s” life in one movie. It happens. Conspiracies in general are all bullshit because at the end of the day people with power don’t need to hide what they’re doing. They just do it.

Probably getting too deep for you now so I’ll end here. Tomorrow these guys return to talk about “decisions”. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!
