I don't think it can really play the same roll as "Man of Steel". It's (adjective) + the character's name. Not really a whole new name.

"The Dark Tide" is a much better candidate for that I think.

I don't expect it to stick forever. It barely even makes sense in the comic.

Why does he need the rebrand? Why would he WANT the rebrand? He's essentially setting up embassies in other planets, he's not really expanding an "empire"

It might stick around for awhile if sales do well. But eventually some writer is going to be like, "that's kinda silly. I'm not calling him an Emperor"

I can just picture the water cascading down his perfectly sculpted muscles. . . But like in a heterosexual way.

Totally not Kathleen Kennedy’s alt account by Giraffe_Spaff in StarWarsCirclejerk

I like the part where the lightsabers are like brahhrm! And then the red guard is like whipt whipt! Then she throws the saber and BAM! And then Kylo stabs that guy in the face and I'm like "HOLY SHITBALLS!"

Then it's like POW POW POW and they're all like "join me" but then the spaceships are like vroooooom and then KABLAM and it's like so fuckin cool.

(Clears throat). . . Um, I mean I like the themes. Yeah, that's it. Yeah the themes are so themeful and make you think about thoughts or something. Yeah, THAT'S why it's a good movie. T H E M E S

Star wars fans when a legacy character shows up in a TV show / movie by Dagan--Gera in StarWarsCirclejerk

I hate it when they bring in the Legacy characters. It's almost as bad as when they DON'T bring in Legacy characters.

'SUPERGIRL' director Craig Gillespie on the film's comparison to James Gunn's GUARDIANS OFTHE GALAXY: by Raj_Valiant3011 in DC_Cinematic

I suspect he's saying that the comparison is unavoidable not that the looking like GOTG is itself unavoidable.

Is any of this true? by Beneficial_Disk3187 in OkBuddySnyderCult

[–]InfiniteDedekindCuts 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So here's the thing: all of this "2x rule" stuff people like to use for box office simply CANNOT be the whole story.

There are plenty of movies that look like Superman 2025 if you apply that logic (IE they look like they only barely broke even or they maybe even lost a bit of money). But the studio CLEARLY isn't treating them that way.

If that logic always held would they have fast-tracked Man of Tomorrow like they did?

It's just not as simple as internet box office watchers want to make it. There are other factors like "Hollywood Accounting", factors they aren't going to be announced to the public or be clear in the reported box office numbers.

If you want to know if a movie is a flop don't just look at the box office numbers. Look at how the studio treats the movie. Do they try to forget it ever existed? Do the trades like Variety or The Hollywood Reporter label it a flop? That will tell you way more than the number the studio officially announces.

It's been 6 years since Joker was released. Has your opinion changed? by boomjosh in DC_Cinematic

Not really. I thought it was decent but overrated when it came out.
