    Sorry Gus
    The Williams Superman score is the sonic representation of the entire concept of superheroes, to me

    Hey, speaking of which

    Does anyone remember if they actually used the Danny Elfman Batman sting in BvS at all?

    Because that was one little element I really dug in this movie.

    Nope. They weren't in BvS at all.

    But it did have the Lex Luthor theme for us to all be thankful for.

    Not in BvS, because Elfman didn't score that one
    He did an interview about his work on JL where he said he thought it was stupid that when they reboot series they decide to throw out the old themes and write new ones, he prefers some kind of continuity there
    Presumably Zimmer don't care (as long as Zimmer gets paid)

    I wish I could travel back to even just 5 years ago and tell someone that Drax the Destroyer would become one of the most beloved comic characters

    I just watched Justice League!

    I have a powerful thirst for Jason Momoa, like wow. I really liked his casual attitude, and the fact that he was just straight up already helping people, no strings attached. There's a lot of room for the character to grow into nobility, and his solo movie can lean into that.
    Seemed like that's what the EXPOSITIONS scene with Mera was setting up. He's not really an Atlantean, yet.

    The climax had zero tension, which was unsatisfying. Ultimately it wasn't a great movie, but it didn't damage the characters and did a lot to repair Superman from Man of Steel. Hopefully they can start salvaging the franchise from here.

    now that batman has changed his major to "committing alien guncrime," the title of world's greatest detective is up for grabs. farg makes a strong play

    "reddit? heh..... kid, I ain't reddit, I wrote the book"

    here's a line from a movie where a grizzled old detective begrudgingly tutors an internet nerdlinger or something, maybe

    In the vein of pointless details and minutia. I really miss the golden/yellow lightning for the Flash. The white lightning just looks so mundane in comparison.

    So. A day out and my biggest memory of this movie
    When they are carrying Clark into the magic resurrection pool and his head is the most egregious copy and pasted cgi I've ever seen. It looked like a JibJab video and it was adorable.

    I feel like you need a lot of very fast arm motion in a good Flash run, not a "looks like he's jogging, but the background is blurry" run.

    The Flash show does both types, but sometimes it really pulls it off
    (Season 2 ending)
    https://youtu.be/vEGyWwsbnio?t=29s

    And Injustice 2 I think really captured it
    https://youtu.be/n-0yyVMOUb8?t=47s

    This concludes my opinions on the depictions of The Flash running. Thank you.

    Flash being bad at running is perfectly fine for this movie's Flash, who is bad at most things.

    I actually kind of like it when superheroes are kind of shitty at things that their superpowers make preternaturally easy for them, especially starting out. Why learn proper running form if you're still the fastest man alive without it? If you're invulnerable and super strong, do you really need to know how to fight?

    See I get it making sense

    But the specific run they used was just so laughably stupid looking

    It went from "he is inexperienced" to "he has literally never run before in his life and this is his first day with human legs, that is the only reason someone would ever run like that"

    He looked like he was kinda of running in water. Which I liked as it adds a sort of alien quality to the speed force that usually just becomes fast place.

    Me? I've got a different problem. I feel like I live in a world made of freshly waxed hardwood floors, always taking constant care not to trip, to fall over. Never allowing myself to lose control even for a moment, or I could get seriously injured.

    Oh, goodness, no, not at all.

    Actually if they had stuck with it the whole
    Movie, I think it might not have bothered me so much.

    I definitely recall scenes where he ran like a regular human, which made the ones where he ran like the mime-comedian guy we had come to my Jr. High to speak against the dangerous of drugs and alcohol stand out quite a bit more.
