As a true comic connoisseur, one who owns several first editions, collectors editions, etc. including a CGC 8.5 Lobo #1. (if you do not know what I'm referring to, then just accept my comic prowess) I felt the need to exit the lurker dungeon to address this craziness. 1st, I have no stake in the game. Meaning, I like watching comic based movies period, DC and Marvel. I'm hopeful that some of the others (yes, there are other comic creators) will begin developing films.
But, getting to my point.....2008's Hulk is worst than ANY DCU movie period. No debate. If anyone says it wasn't a MCU movie, then you must exit this conversation and allow the adults to speak. Additionally, when it comes to lack luster films, one could also easily talk about Iron Man 2, Age of Ultron, and a couple of other very non memorable films. Please do not bring up revenue, because awards and money has never been a true measure of quality or greatness. Eminem has sold more albums, won more awards, and made more money than most of your favorite artists, is he in your playlist? Not mine. Conversely, Jimmy Hendricks, Tupac, B.I.G., Run DMC, Chuck Berry, and Diana Ross never won a grammy and some on this list were never rich rich.
Now, time for the rant and Coldchi, this isn't directed at you brother. This is a jovial rant from years of reading and watching some of the millionaires of bgol become bandwagon comic fans. When did it become the thing to dick ride a production company? MCU is the Rebranded production company of Marvel who finally got it right. And man, did they ever get it right. Someone must have made a deal with the devil. But, whether you agree or not, Marvel has put out movies prior to the MCU. We can get into semantics, we can talk "creative control" etc., however, the fact remains that movies like Howard the Duck were made in partnership with Marvel allowing Marvel to use other studios to create the films. Fact is, DC Comics had its film run, now its Marvel's turn. Enjoy it. I am always quite amused how we are so excited about Jews and other mayo executives making money off of these movies. True Cognitive Dissonance.
Lastly, let me be the first to say and I hope I'm quoted in the future.....Joker will be the best comic based movie of the year. It may not make as much money as "put your favorite movie here." But, it will have true longevity and will live long in the lore of comic greatness.
As I run full speed back into the lurker's dungeon let me say that Maliah Michel is fat. Cherokee is sloppy, and Bria is.......(slams lurker dungeon door)
