What went so terribly wrong? This was planned to be a huge franchise and all we got was two movies...
>>219412068>What went so terribly wrong?
>>219412068Release strategy and the second movie ending on an underwhelming note (verbal reveal about the princess). The movies are almost good, which is what's really tragic about this whole thing.>>219412143Snyder is such a midwit filter.
>>219412143Snyder is an auter of visuals even though his scripts kinda suck. Way better than Gunn regardless btw
>>219412253Snyder is a midwit who only cares about teasing up shit that will never come out and talking about the cool lore he planned, but never about making the 'present' interesting
>>219412143fpbp
>>219412390That's not him being a midwit. That's streaming services hoping to establish franchises. I don't like the tedious buildups either, but if you think he couldn't follow up on it given the chance, then you're plainly incorrect.
>>219412068I have only watched 1st one. Should I watch the rapecut of that one or go straight to the 2nd?
>>219412390I still remember his bullshit about "the real Doomsday'' still being out there.
>>219414263Watch extended. There's an hour additional story. Like that hapa guy's royal background.
>planning a franchiseBecause that's not how it works. You think Star Wars was planned? A franchise isn't just created and successful just because some rich fag said so.
>>219412068>This was planned to be a huge franchiseLMAOJust take one look at the main protagonist. That was never going to happen.
>>219414671I like her, but you're right. Should've been a blonde.
>>219412068>sci fi>story is about corn syrup powered space ships, magical swords and cotton pickingLook, you can absolutely have an agricultural sci fi kino but you have to get the SCIENCE FICTION part right...as in that shit gotta make sense.
Watching this and Dunc back to back is amazing. The vast gulf in quality between the two in every conceivable aspect is comical.
>>219412068>What went so terribly wrong?they said it was the new star wars, never say that.
>>219415183Let's not pretend Fraser hasn't completely fucked up with the camera work in first Dunc. Let's also keep in perspective that Snyder had 160 million $$$ for the entire 6h runtime, while Villeneuve had it per movie.
>>219412068The movie sucked.The plot was so so so bad, it's hard to know where to start.
what if star wars was more woke and stupid?
>>219412253>The movies are almost good
>>219412068The fact that they deliberately made a worse version of the movie and released that version first shows how little Zack Snyder respects his audience.
>>219416096>uglypersonlaughing.gifWow. Very cool you identify with that.
>>219412359They both peaked on Dawn of the Dead
>>219416068More like "What if Star Was but marginally better?"And the answer to that is "it was entertaining". Something literally on one can say about any of the new 5000 Slop Wars prequels, sequels, spin-offs and jerkoffs.
>>219412068It was based on a rejected Star War script. I assume it was rejected for a reason. And they gave it to Zack Snyder. Zack Snyder sucks.
>>219416299It was Snyder's idea of doing 7 Samurai in Star Wars. They didn't give it to him, it was his. Why do you have to open that anal mouth of yours when you don't know anything?
>>219412143>>219412068i still hate zack for the Watchmen movie, but i don't even remember ads for this shit.
>>219414620>Star Wars was planned?george and his writers planned it.
>>219416417They aggressively (and moderately successfully) marketed it with the release of the first one, and then very little (from what I can tell) when the second one dropped. Yeah, overall marketing and release strategy were bad.
I remember watching it thinking I had seen it before. The script is unimaginative and boring. At no point was there any tension at all and the girlboss shit was ridiculous.
>these are the imperial troops from planet Imperius, the seat of the imperial empire>they are all dressed in imperial clothes and also have roman names>these are a rebel faction called the rebels, they come from a planet rebelia, that is currently rebelling against the empire>these are farmers from the farmlands of Farmia, they all look like farmers and they farm grain>this is a robot made for warfare, he is a roboticus mechanicus from the factories of factoria mechanica robotica, he is made for war but he doesn't want to fight, he also fights amazingly well and kills people in a cool way>this is a shirtless tarzano from the planet tarzania, he has long hair and is good with animals, here he tames a gryphon also from the planet tarzania which is also known in the old tongue as gryphonia, because it has gryphons, he's good at taming them>this is Nemesis from planet Childonia, she lost her child so she's killing other evil mothers like the spidermother, she has two artificial arms and can't hold babies anymore only cleavesabers>this is Kai from planet Eire, he has an irish accent and can't be trusted, he also has a twin brother called Wanai who has one eye, he shows up in the sequel>this is the other gladiator from the movie gladiator, here he plays a gladiator in the castor arena on the moon of pollux>these are the slutty latex bimbos of sluticus V, they play a large role in the extended cut as dangerous sluts
>>219416761Never gets old
>>219416410>It was Snyder's idea of doing 7 Samurai in Star Wars.Which he jammed into a rejected Star Wars script. Snyder's the last guy who should have anything to do with the 7 Samurai. Let him do another cape slop instead.
>>219412359>Snyder is an auter of visualssnyder was the cinematographer for army of the dead and rebel moon and both look like absolute shit. he films with a broken camera lense because he got duped. hes a fucking moron and a talentless hack. he built his reputation on the hard work of other people, nothing else.
>>219412253only shitwits enjoy his movies
>>219415409>Snyder had 160 million $$$ for the entire 6h runtimeso what? how much does it cost to pay for a script that isnt dogshit?
>>219416410>7 Samurai in Star Wars>7it as hisall he can do is steal ideas from other people. its not "his".
>>219412068Not enough scenes of Our Princess. I watched like an hour of it and didn't see her at all
>>219416298Cope
>thought grain plot was a flimsy pretext>SIR THEY ARE HIDING BEHIND THEIR GRAIN BARRELS WE ARE DEFEATED
>>219412068They were good fucking movies, though. People didn't like them, I guess. It's a real shame. I would have liked to see the rest of the series.
>>219418587They should have completed it. They waste dough on shit all the time; they could have funded one last flick.
>>219415183Yeah, it's ridiculous how bland and devoid of any pathos Villeneuve's shit is, compared to a Snyder production.
Sad this killed Sofia Boutella's career.>>219418587They were terrible movies.
>>219418813Sad that she invested her last bit of youth for this piece of unwatchable shit
>>219418033Both ends of the bell curve do.>>219418087>a script that isnt dogshitIt was alright. The fundamental issue could be fixed in like 5 minutes of additional work.
>>219420459The script needed to be handed off to someone else.
>>219420547It was.
>>219412143This
>>219417995>rebel moon>looks like absolute shitNo.
>>219412253Weak
>>219418587>They were good fucking moviesthey were funny to watch but they were not "good"
>>219416761>they play a large role in the extended cut as dangerous slutsKEK
It released too early. Civilization is not enlightened enough for such levels of kino.
>>219420933Ironically, the movies were painstakingly old school in some ways. The final act battle was like something from an old war movie.
I expected it to be stupid. I came in with very low expectations. .... It was even worse. I cant imagine sitting there and watching the whole thing. Crazy that hundreds of people were working on it for probably multiple years and it was allowed to be so aggressively bad
>>219420659None of those shots look better than the ones in 300 or Watchmen. Snyder was better off working with an actual cinematographer than trying to do it himself.
>>219421209Midwit.
>>219421785>None of those shots look better than the ones in 300 or Watchmenvs.>rebel moon looks like absolute shit
how could you not love raw space wheat? i want to swim in it, i want to rub it all over my face, i want to eat it raw and endure the blissful agony of a space wheat tummy ache
