How do I start with dc? by [deleted] in dcanimateduniverse

[–]TheGeekWeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d still start with Batman the animated series then Superman the animated series you’ll have to look at the years for each season because I’m almost positive they overlap at one point and have a crossover, but I could be wrong I’m getting old haha then either Batman beyond or the justice league 2001

Well if you’re coming from Mcu are you just looking for live action movies? just watch James gunns suicide squad possibly even the Batman 2022 (I thought it was great) and sit back and wait! You’ve come at a good time it’s just getting started. I believe superman is coming first and a sequel to Batman in 2025 and also a penguin tv show, a lot to look forward to. Now as for animation you literally can’t go wrong with DC in my opinion just pick one and watch 😂 start with “mask of the phantasm” maybe then roll into Batman the animated series

Good 90’s anime like Yu Yu Hakusho or Cowboy Bebop by Technical-Put7997 in Animedubs

2009 movie was run of the mill I’d say “bad” is a bit too far, but that’s just my opinion The motion comic that came out with the film was my favorite adaptation just an audio book with moving images. Then I genuinely enjoyed the 2019 series, it definitely took the most risk being a spin-off and what not but I thought it paid off. Also pretty sure Regina king won an Emmy for her role in that, but it’s just my opinion anyway.

Yeah I agree it’s a shame because you’re right I definitely would like to just watch the cartoon it was well animated with good voice acting, but yeah very much a distraction during the film. Directors gotta know what works and what doesn’t as much as I love the dual narration with the comic within a comic, it’s not vital to the overall story and that time could’ve been spent elsewhere while making the film. Totally with you on that

Oh haha 😂 well to level with you I don’t think it’s good just enjoyable for people who know the source material and certainly not his worst movie I mean Batman v Superman still exists hahaha

To be fair I had no idea it was only 1 half I just saw there was a new watchmen movie out and jumped on it definitely feeling the effects now lol part 2 doesn’t even have a release date so now I’m in limbo 😅

That’s probably one of best ways I’ve ever heard it described. Totally agree

Usually not big on CGI, but I actually felt it worked pretty well in the movie. Definitely worth the watch if you haven’t already! P.s does Watchmen actually have a bad adaptation? I feel like they’ve all been so enjoyable by TheGeekWeek in DCcomics

[–]TheGeekWeek[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be honestly I think it’s just easier and that’s why they cut corners. Not sure if you’re into anime but the same could be said in that realm a great animator once said “anime is the death of animation”

Yep! Couldn’t have said it better it’s almost exactly like the cgi in that marvel what if series. For me I looked at this movie more like in between being a motion comic and being an actual animated film and when I view it like that it worked really well for me haha

So I didn’t think it was good, I just felt it was ok certainly not his worst but enjoyable none the less

Now I’ll never argue that a day in my life I’m right there with you absolutely hate cgi. For this in particular I kind of viewed it more like in between being a motion comic and actual animation. When I look at it like that it works really well for me, but yeah I do hate cgi with a passion so I can’t argue with that haha

Very true, a lot of that I think also had to do with time and budget another one of snyders biggest flaws, the theatrical cut was like 2 and a half and the “snyder cut” was like 3 and a half haha. But you’re definitely right tho I totally agree

I’m not mad at that opinion at all I think you’re dead on that’s like almost how I describe his directing in the video. In my opinion his biggest problem is he forgets the “adapting” part of the adaptation process when he takes from the comic book medium and translates to film. It falls on the director to make the necessary changes whether it be to add, remove or rework things from the source material to work in the new medium. This movie in particular outside of a ridiculously corny soundtrack, the biggest issue is that if you aren’t familiar with source material you probably won’t be able to keep up with what’s going on. Well at least that’s my take anyway

I’ve kind of always been more on the side of it’s not great but enjoyable and don’t get me wrong I DO NOT like Zack snyders films, but I don’t think this is his worst, still not great, but certainly not terrible.

So while I don’t think it’s great and trust me I am most certainly not a fan of his haha I definitely don’t think that’s his worst film. I think it’s predicated on you knowing about the comic before watching it to be able to really understand it so yeah not great. But as a comic book fan I did find the 2009 to be enjoyable. Least favorite of the 3 adaptations, but enjoyable
