Okay, I just Googled Automan, and it turns out I was right about pretty much everything, including how bad it was. According to Wikipedia, they only made 13 episodes, airing just 12 of them. lol
My opinion, the worst part of it was the bad guy. It was pretty comical.
The movie fell way short for me and I was really rooting for it. I am a Marvel and DC comics fan, so I keep hoping DC will elevate their theater product to Marvel's level. However, it has been hit-and-miss for DC in my opinion, with Justice League being a miss.
Personally, I would have gone with another Apokolips new god given the chosen storyline for the movie. Desaad would have been a better choice I think. Perhaps even Orion.
Not to nitpick, but since you wrote the same thing twice, I just wanted to clarify that his name is Steppenwolf, like the band.Personally, I would have gone with another Apokolips new god given the chosen storyline for the movie. Desaad would have been a better choice I think. Perhaps even Orion.
That said, I thought Steffenwolf was a prime League adversary for an introductory Darkseid chapter. Ciarán Hinds voicework was not excellent but pretty good in my opinion. I did think the CGI quality of his onscreen character was a touch off. Kinda messy. Not clean like The Hulk in the Avengers movies.
Overall, the antagonist was not the issue for me. The wishy-washy script and presentation was. Barry Allen was the prime example of wishy-washy. For me, Cyborg and Aquaman were above average decent for the movie and I have zero problem with Gia Gadot's Wonder Woman throughout the movie. And I have made my opinion known about Ben Affleck.
Comical, for me, was Henry Cavill's Superman. Ditching his darker blue suit for the lighter blue version. Same for the music backdrop of Kal-El's mini-fight with the League at his memorial. The whole 'Truth and Justice' pre-speech before fighting Steffenwolf for the first time. The lame 'I want to die again' joke after prying apart the Mother Boxes (did like WW's 'I work with children' observation though). Heck. I think my best feelings about Superman in the movie was his time with Lois Lane, seeing his mother, and his race with The Flash lol.
I gotta start thinking happy thoughts about the sequel, although I doubt I can jinx it anymore than I possibly could.
Ouch! Thanks. I type Steppenwolf incorrectly more often than anyone might think.Not to nitpick, but since you wrote the same thing twice, I just wanted to clarify that his name is Steppenwolf, like the band.
But I agree with most of your opinions here. I think they need to darken up the costumes too, especially Supe's.
I agree, that uni was darker, and more masculine...though I know nothing of Crisis of Infinite Earth, except that the title seems like it should be Crises of Infinite Earth.Ouch! Thanks. I type Steppenwolf incorrectly more often than anyone might think.
Some disappear but I thought Kal-El's uniform was perfect in Man of Steel. The style was very post-Crisis of Infinite Earth. It grinds my gears Zack Snyder or anyone else got away from it.
Ooh yeah, if I was a dad, I'd be satisfied with a superpower like "Lego resistant feet".
I've got grandkids now, and that issue has come around again.
My typos are out of control!!! Should have been Crisis On Infinite Earths. No 'e' in Crisis though.I agree, that uni was darker, and more masculine...though I know nothing of Crisis of Infinite Earth, except that the title seems like it should be Crises of Infinite Earth.
Oh crap, then I probably shouldn't tell you about Gia Gadot! No, I won't tell you about that one.My typos are out of control!!! Should have been Crisis On Infinite Earths. No 'e' in Crisis though.
What if healing took a toll on you? Say, it took 10 years off your life?
I meant in total. But what if each major heal, such as cancer took 5 years?
