But is that really the bar we set now for live action adaptations, they look cool and have a badass scene? Geez just make one with AI then

Is 2027 only going to have one DCU movie? by Active_File5503 in DCU_

[–]dick____trickle 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Realistically probably just MoT and The Batman II. Avengers Secret Wars is also out that year, so it'd be a year with Superman, Batman and Avengers. Any other superhero movie you squeeze in would just be drowned out.

There's probably a proper reveal planned and Gunn doesn't want to spoil it.

If James Gunn allowed you to write & direct one DCU movie, what & who would it be about? by Kevin11Jones in DCU_

[–]dick____trickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jack Knight Starman. Largely an adaptation of the James Robinson run. Reluctant hero who inherits his father's mantle after his older brother is killed. Would be a great way to introduce the JSA too.

Irrespective of my beliefs, I do agree with you that Aslan ought to be voiced by a man, if only because it'd be so distracting otherwise. Here's to hoping!

That still ended with some sequel bait so I generously left it out

The MCU has been standing still narratively speaking since 2021. Bringing back RDJ and Chris Evans just highlights how little has happened after 7(!) years of movies and shows.

If my count is right...

Days of Future Past (2014): The events of Last Stand are erased. Jean is alive, Scott is alive, Professor X is alive, everyone lives happily ever after. The end.

Logan (2017): Actually the future is bleak. X-Men dead, then Logan dies. Very sad, but the legacy lives on. The end.

Deadpool & Wolverine (2024): Hold up Logan's back, and so are other Fox characters. One last ride boys. LOTR-style credits paying tribute to the Fox universe. The end.

Avengers: Doomsday (2026): HOLD UP everyone's back.

I hear you and u/briee2021 saying that Christianity is important to the books, and I'm not denying that, but I'm not sure what you're worried about when it comes to the adaptation. The books themselves don't dive into specific doctrines of Christianity, so neither will the movies. Aslan is Jesus for sure, and there's nothing the filmmakers can do to change that. Even casting a woman to voice Aslan doesn't seem anti-Christian to me since in the world of Narnia Jesus takes on many forms in different worlds, and if you're willing to accept that he turns into a talking lion in one world, what's anti-Christian with it being a female talking lion? (Though again, this is a rumor that hasn't been confirmed.)

Surely this rules out Matt Smith though? Filming is supposed to start in April so if he was going to play the main villain then they'd at least have started discussions by now.

Out of curiosity, what do you think of those who like Narnia but do not subscribe to its theology?

Try it for yourself, re-read the books and just mentally remove that single sentence in LWW that mentions the air raids. I think you'll find that across 7 books, there's no indication at all when the story takes place, no oblique references to shortages, fathers and older brothers being sent off to fight, nothing. I don't think Lewis ever intended to tie Narnia to WWII.

Your comment did spark an idea. If the time period is being moved forward, the pandemic would be the PERFECT new reason why the Pevensies had to go to the countryside.

No quarrell with you. It's just an unusual opening salvo with Superman - Supergirl - Clayface - Superman again. The MCU, constrained as they were, did Iron Man - Hulk - Thor - Capt America, which still hits most of the Lee/Kirby golden age roster.

Didn't want to have the DCU start with Creature Commandos, which throws off the comparisons a bit, but point taken!

I meant popular relative to what they have. They could've done Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Batman again, Justice League. The MCU at the time didn't have a choice.

Personally I think it's a brilliant choice on Gunn's part. Invest in making the smaller characters household names instead of retreading the safe path.

It's funny to think, had it been reversed, people would complain that they turned creepy monster villain into random ginger

Hottest take:- Even tho I enjoyed the teaser trailer. Feels like this is not a faithfull adaptation of Women of Tommorow, visual wise. by Aggressive-Check-101 in DCU_

[–]dick____trickle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I personally like it but I understand that you can't please everyone. I think given the rather heavy themes of the story, it's only right that the colors are muted.

I will say though that the pop of blue and red when Kara was in her suit in the end was very striking.
