Actually even Snyder isn’t this bad. Snyder does have SOME appreciation towards source material, he just overloads his stuff with his own philosophies that ends up drowning it out, but source material love IS there.
Snyder is like a 13-year-old who stuffs his movies full of "wouldn’t it be cool if" ideas with no context or framing behind them… He simply doesn’t understand these characters on a deeper level.
Singer is that arthouse hipster douche who thinks he’s better than everyone despite his paintings looking like (and probably being made out of) shit… He doesn’t care enough to try.
singer can at least r edit/tell a decent story, even if its inaccurate.
Zack Snyder/Brett Ratner, and Michael Bay are all explosions, flash with no substance.
snyder just likes doing cut/paste of comic panels and worshiping Frank Miller;Anyone can do that.
Bay is inaccurate , doesnt care about characters, plugs the US military at every turn along with uninteresting humans and makes the Transformers setpieces in their own films.
Could be worse. He could be Uwe Bole, who signed on to do movies for the sole purpose of making them as shitty as possible. Seriously, I swear he made more money the worse his movies did somehow.
Fox only understands money. Singer got pulled from the franchise because of the lackluster performance of X3, and snuck his way back in when Vaughn pulled out.
So long as people bitch, but go watch these films anyway, Singer will keep shitting on characters and continuity… The only reason the F4 franchise is on the bench is because Fant-Four-Stic got bodied at the Box Office.
They could give two fucks about what the fans want, so if you want shit to change, stop spending money on Singer’s crap and get your friends and family to do the same.
Much like the MCU films, people care less about following continuity word for word, and more about if the characters act like their comic book selves. Chris Evans’ Captain America acts like Cap from the books, RDJ redefined Stark so much, they based the EMH Iron Man after him, right down to the VA copying his vocal inflections. When those movies add a character from the books, they tend to use them well and in interesting ways, rather than one-off cameos, or as silent mooks of the big bad.
Singer wastes tons of characters just so he can pull the okie-doke of saying such-and-such mutant is in the new movie… How do you fuck up the Dark Phoenix arc so fucking badly? How you gonna fuck up Juggernaut? Why did we have to wait for Ryan Reynolds to save Deadpool and give us an accurate Colossus?
Singer, Bay, Snyder, Rattner, and Goyer are feces-tier… Fuck them and everything they touch, except for Bad Boys and Lethal Weapon*(which I’m starting to believe were great in spite of their presence rather than because of)*.
