Life sucks and then you die.
Also True Artis Angsty is a great trope.
What would Martha Kent say to Batman if she found out what he said and almost did to her boy? Bruce needs to apologize to Clark for being a Fantastic Racism bully.
It's not a trope.
Where there's life, there's hope.A few weeks back, MovieBob made the surprise announcement that the next episode of "Really That Good" was going to be on why Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is considered really that bad.
I know what some of you are thinking.
You're thinking, "why would there be an episode of Really That Good explaining why Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is considered to be really that bad?"
Well, Bob's got an explanation.
Essentially, while Bob conceived Really That Good to be a countermeasure against YouTube videos that go apeshit crazy and ballistic over bad movies and the like, he personally feels that if he were to do a show on why bad movies are bad, the bad movie in question would have to be an exceptionally bad movie. One where even the supposed redeeming qualities of it only serve to show just how bad the whole thing is. And for Bob, that one movie is BvS, a movie that should have been good, but it, among other things, tells its story poorly, is painful to watch, and as a comic book movie, it's almost like it's arguing with itself.
Moviebob saying anything is a ringing endorsement of the exact opposite.
So what you're trying to say is that Pixels was a good movie.
but HOW?I'm saying that " whoever worked on this movie deserves to lose their fingers " or whatever variation on that he said is psychotic enough that it made me sympathise with Sandler.
I'm cracking up.
I mean, Bob gave Sucker Punch a positive review and yet has a comical hatred for the ASM movies which while flawed are still not the disasters he exaggerates them to be.
And yeah, I didn't like Pixels but calling "cultural homicide" or whatever nonsensical term he used is the height of Internet fanboy whining. There are far more egregious sins in that movie than how it treats video game characters.
I'd still like to know what would happen if DCEU Bruce haf somehow met a different version of Clark. Maybe one that arrived on time instead of years later. Because Clark and Bruce are usually the same age.
Chipman is the anthropomorphic personification of dumb fanboy ranting.
That doesn't mean he's absolutely wrong.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?Certainly ,means I'm not giving him the clicks.
He has good politics. In this world we live in where a lot of Internet Personalities are reactionary shitheads, that is a good thing.
I mean, Dan Olson and Bob both hate the DCEU so far as I know and I obviously disagree with them. But they're not stupid bigots so I respect their opinion. I just feel like they're unfairly labeling the DCEU.
He confessed to knowing about Devin Farci's creeptastic behaviour but saying nothing when it came to light.
He's a perpetually angry man child and his politics are just another avenue of that.
Dude once compared the " console wars " to Vietnam. He needs help.
Edit: Should probably back away from discussing the reviewer, off topic and what not,

There are actual broken records less repetitive than Chipman.
How Zack Snyder's DC movies helped people deal with their depression and suicidal thoughts
I don't always agree with moviebob, especially not when it comes to the original Spider-man trilogy, because the nostalgia is strong there and bleeds into everything Spider-man related, but outside of that, he tends to make a good argument and unlike most internet reviewers he actually knows the technical terms. I mean, he made me respect Ghostbusters...I still don't love the movie and most likely never will, but he had a good point about the movie portraying science as the way to defeat ghosts instead of some creepy old priest.
He did a really good review of The Matrix and so he's cool in my book.
If Wonder Woman hadn't already released to favorable reviews I'd be really skeptical of that film right now.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!Having seen the director's cut version, I'll spare giving off the same complaints as everyone else, beyond an "I told ya so" or whatever, because it's been out for a few years and blah blah blah.
But I can't help but notice just how long these movies are. The Director's Cut of this was three hours, and I just think... movies like Les Miserables or Ben-Hur are 2 1/2 to 3 hours because they're epics with a huge scope and stuff. Superhero movies... generally don't exactly have a whole lot of things happening. It just seems like filmmakers and studios are less concerned about economy of storytelling.
And it's not like this is unique to BvS. Even superhero movies that are generally okay still have the same problem. But with this I was just thinking... "why is this three hours long?"
Fanfiction I hate.A few years? It came out in 2016.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?It's been longer in internet years?
A happy ending? Well, there are these massage parlors in Thailand...
I'd say the development in BVS pretty much is the setup for a happy ending for Superman, or at least a generally cheerful status quo once he breaks out of the coffin. The problem with superheroes nowadays is that there is so much information regarding global issues - issues they would be very successful in dealing with - that a story simply can't end by saying "once again, the day was saved by the Powerpuff Girls!" No, it always has to be a perpetual struggle, superheroes are never allowed to actually change something in the world, and eventually the whole deal seems like an exercise in futility.
And this is where BVS shined, by saying that ultimately Superman doesn't have to care about the whole world, at least more so than it is the place his loved ones live in. He doesn't owe anything to anyone. He can make sure his family is safe, maybe his city, and that's all he ever actually needs to take care of; anything else is strictly gratis. Again, not the image of the perfect paragon Too Good for This Sinful Earth, but one much more stable in the long run. And dare I say, much closer to the classic version, who went out saying "this looks like a job for Superman" only in the direst emergencies.
