Thank you.
Some thoughts on the DCEU
So, I just watched “Wonder Woman”. And as a fan (and reader) of DC comics, I wasn’t surprised by how the story unfolded, but still incredibly grateful to the Tumblr users who took care not to spoil it for me and other audiences anyway. 🙂
While it isn’t my favorite (“BvS” still holds that special place in my geeky heart), it made me appreciate the DCEU’s storytelling strategy more.
For one, the introduction of the most well-known “Trinity” in the DC universe before everybody else. It’s a risk. A bold move. Not for everyone. Fine. But it works for little ol’ me (and, I’m pretty sure, many, many others like me… queue: “Help me find the others like you.” I digress.) It’s not like these risks and bold moves don’t make sense, after all. Or, okay. They at least make sense to one fan – me.
I won’t give a detailed commentary now (since I’ve got to get up for work in a few hours), but I love how story-driven the films have been so far. The films are so clearly intertwined (even when there’s a focus on a specific character) that watching one kind of gives nostalgia for the other… If that makes sense?
Each of the “Trinity” has been shown to be faced with moral dilemmas that are as significant when these characters were first created as they are in these times.
I guess I’ve always just been more drawn to stories and meaningful dialogue rather than visual effects, fight scenes, or attempts at shock value (although, those can definitely help). And that’s what I found in DC comics (especially with the Bat Family) and that’s what I’m getting from the DCEU right now.
Anyway. I just wanted to put it out there. DCEU, I’m proud of the stories you’re weaving/re-weaving. Thank you.

There are a few reasons but a big one is that people don’t have a pre-conceived notion of Wonder Woman whereas everyone has an idea of how Superman is ‘’supposed’’ to be and it was a lot easier to say that Zack Snyder must have fundamentally misunderstood the character or have an outright hatred for him rather than admitting that Their view of him was outdated. Zack Snyder’s involvement is a big factor too as people seem obsessed with blaming him for making thus universe ‘’dark and edgy’’ instead of considering that They simply don’t know the source material very well (That tweet where someone slammed him for Aquaman’s trident having five points instead of three, saying that it was to make it more extreme when Aquaman’s trident from the comics is the exact same is a perfect summary of that mentality).
The films had flaws, no question about it, and I’ll happily concede that there are good reasons why some people don’t like Them but I still can’t see anything to justify the sheer level of hatred They and Zack Snyder have gotten.
I suspect aside from bias against zack snyder, maybe wonder woman have more humor than both MoS and BvS(which are very subtle and less obvious), thus why people find wonder woman are less grim compare than MoS and BvS. But hey the movie is not considered to be grim and dark if it have plenty of HAHA moment.
Or maybe Wonder woman hope and optimisms message is easier to understand and relate compare to both MoS and BvS maybe.
But I agree that main factor in this is a preconceived or existing notion of the character
Also the complete lack of understanding about long term story development. MoS and BvS were about the plot developing naturally into something more light. It starts with Superman feeling alone and isolate, leads into the struggle of heroes finding their direction in BvS (mostly Batman and Wonder Woman, whilst giving Superman the chance to return to a world that better understands and trusts him). SS served to show that there are other threats out there, and show what a world without the Justice League could potentially be like. And Wonder Woman comes along, and it’s set outside of that development for the nosy part, but lays out a clear blueprint about who Diana is and why she doe what she does.
This all leads neatly into Justice League.
Audiences think that a cohesive movie universe must be guest appearances and Easter eggs galore in every movie lest you forget they’re connected, but these movies were building something from the start and the audience wasn’t patient enough to respect that.
Wonder Woman is so successful in this series, because it’s really the only movie that stands completely separate from the build up to JL by having its own self contained plot.
Trinity #6 (2016) | Red Hood and the Outlaws #10 (2017)
Trinity | Dark Trinity

From: JLA #2 (1997)
In which…
a.) The new Green Lantern assumes Batman’s got the plan (and reasonably so).
b.) The Batman cedes to Martian Manhunter.
c.) Is Superman trolling?
d.) Just… Wally and clueless Kyle, really.
Some thoughts on the “Justice League” trailer
*inhales deeply*
When scenes from the trailer look like they could have been cut and pasted from the comics you adore so much.
*exhales deeply*
*weeps silent happy tears*
The trailer definitely left more room for speculation than answers. I’m not complaining, though; not even asking for “more” at this point. Not in the mood to listen to other people’s disgruntled opinions or comparisons with another comic universe when we’re only just at the “teasing” phase. And the fact that the DCEU has been getting criticized so much for not being more like said other comic universe is a good sign, in my opinion. It shows just how different they are, that each has a specific vision for their own franchises.
Mr. Snyder, cast and crew, if you’re holding out on us right now, I don’t mind. Really. Waiting for November to come – it’s frustrating to me as a big DC fan, but, hey. That’s a given. Because I’m pretty darn satisfied with the trailer you released. I’m fairly confident that you’ll blow our minds at the right time (and in a good way). Not that you haven’t already!
Whatever’s in that trailer just makes me so freakin’ excited that they’re getting UNITED.
(I’ll try my best to be patient.)

DC & Warner Bros.: So, here’re three teasers for the full trailer this coming Saturday. We’re really hoping it’ll get you pumped up –
Me: *puts finger on lips to shush them* Shhh. You had me at Justice League.
