It was clear that they were going to stop licensing their movies to stream on Netflix, but it always seemed to be the case that Disney didn't want that kind of programming on their own service (however, this was probably mostly moronic speculation from the same kind of people as those who think Obsidian is making a new Fallout game or that Konami will graciously give up the rights to MGS). Whatever, I guess it was good while it lasted. And this is better than having it go on for too long and deteriorate into garbage.

I hope it is moist, but I'm not convinced by the enthusiasm of early audiences. They'll cheer anything on. Also, behold a terrible fight scene:



Ugh! How nauseating!

Looked pretty cool on my phone but probably is incoherent on a big screen.

People were tuning out for Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. The latter I understand, but the first two I found worthy of continued lines, especially Daredevil as they just introduced Bullseye into the mix. The Punisher is still a go in Jan of 2019 I think.

I believe Disney streaming will pick up the gauntlet on these characters, especially Daredevil.

If they do it will probably be less violent. Or gory, I should say.

I wish I could find the article I read this morning praising that fight scene to the high heavens. When really that just reminded me of the fight scene at the end of Black Panther, grossly clunky CGI and all.

Well that wouldn't be good IMO. Part of the reason I liked Daredevil so much was the realism and portrayal of the dark nature. Especially D'onofrio and Bernthal.

Removing gore does not have to decrease the realism.  It depends on directorial choices for shot selection and storytelling.

This one, perhaps?

I love how all the comments are openly contradicting him. Some highlights:

Quote
“actors’ choreography”

How much are they actually there, though?  Considering the water physics and the awful, spinning camera, I’d say very little.

Quote
Loads of motion capture and motion sickness all in one bucket...

Hope theaters are selling Dramamine before each showing.

Quote
This fight scene is completely not awesome. It looks like a sped up video of two guys with giant hors deuvres forks fighting over the last crab puff.

Quote
Is there 1% of this that is not CGI? After 10 seconds of smack-talk, with CGI faces, I can’t even identify who is who in the fight.  Couldn’t one be wearing, say, bright orange armor? I get they have to make it look like turbulent water, but if Injustice video games look better than your movie, you’re doing something wrong.

Quote
Bad, yes. Ass, yes.

Badass, not so much.

All right, decent reviews. There may be hope for the DCEU yet.

I want an Aquaman movie based on the Silver Age. Now that's a movie I want to see.

53/100 on Metacritic so far. Rated a little better than Batman v Superman and slightly worse than Man of Steel. That's...well, that's something.

Yeah lol wtf. Metacritic isn't perfect, but Rotten Tomatoes is ass. Telling me what percentage of people thought something wasn't shit doesn't do me many favors.

It's almost like relying on complete strangers to tell you if something is good or not is a stupid thing to do.

Decent reviews until Marvel does Namor...

Namor is totally superior to Aquaman.
