The linked world should be a bonus, you shoudn't have to watch ten films to understand the plot.
The least a true fan could do.
someone should tell marvel this, wouldn't want their EU to fail....

Sarcasm aside, each movie should be able to stand alone. Even the "we all come together to save the world" should be able to do so and people can then have a look at other character's.
Or don't I understand writing a script?

i think marvel proved if dont right thats not the case anymore
even if you watched all the avengers....things would not make complete sense let alone if you went straight to infinity war

Am I the only one here that thinks Synder is great visually but isn't a directors arsehole?
Is the Flash movie? have they cast the Flash?
Edit: I just thought Ezra Miller was canceled for choking out a fan.
He has a particularl visual style, and his movies can be a bit long for some people, but I like his movies.
Ezra seems to have avoided the bullet for that incident. Have you seen it? It's not as black and white as you describe, it was weird.

I've regularly commented on my dislike of Snyder's directing - the last film of his I truly liked was 300. I didn't want to be the first to comment and incur @Kirwan's wraith in this thread.
I haven't heard any of these rumours yet (I'm about two weeks behind on the Fatman Beyond podcast but I'm sure they'll discuss this). Keaton coming back to the franchise will be good.

It's all subjective. Plenty dislike JJ Abrams style too, and Tarantino. At least when directors have a distinctive style you know what you are in for, and it's easy to avoid if you don't like it.
Smith is LOVING the news

Oh definitely, I love Tarantino, mostly like JJ (most recent Star Wars definitely excluded) and pretty much dislike all of Snyders superhero movies, which is disappointing because I want to see good Batman and Superman. I'm looking forward to the Robert Pattinson one although I think it's going to be another more 'adult' version however it looks interesting.

Yep. Are they directed by that guy?

Reeves, who is doing the new Batman movie. So imagine the style will be different, but those movies were well made.

I wonder if Andy Serkis will have a role and if it will be mo cap?

The Suicide Squad. Not seen the (small t) Suicide Squad, but the Drinker Recommends The (new) Suicide Squad for some dumb fun, so I will catch this when it hits online

@machpants fair play re the grammar, its does get confusing with both having such similar names
yeah, will probably wait until its free on a streaming service

Yeah just a piss take on their stupid names, rather than at you. Bloody dumb

Yeah, just watched it.
Stupid dumb fun.
Lots of ridiculous violence, over-the-top blood, dumb jokes.
I'm going to use the word "dumb" a lot in trying to explain this movie... but it's an affectionate "dumb".The only times it felt a bit forced, or just plain bad/boring, was when it tried to get a little serious. I can imagine that if there was no serious shit, it would get panned as "no character building, no story arcs, no emotional attachment to any characters"... but yeah, every time they tried for any of that, it was just... "yeah, fuck that, just get back to senseless comedic violence".
Even the "this violence has real consequences, or at least, emotional consequences for the characters" - was just... nah, fuck off. I for once wanted the "serious shit, followed by throwaway gag"... and I never want that.Also - tit-watch: zero.
Overall: 4 reasonable visual-violence-gags out of 5 yeah-that-shark-is-going-to-become-an-icon-for-stupid-people.
