Doesn't this sort of thing happen a lot during pre-production? And production.

So basically a repeat of what happened with Edgar Wright and Ant-Man, huh?

Still, that's a bummer.

It happens all the time. Better now than during production.

[up]She should switch to Shazam because the talking tiger is canon to Shazam/Captain Marvel.

Didn't WW have a cat in that failed pilot? People often talk to their cats. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding that WW would have a pet tiger on Thymiscra, and then would have a pet cat once she got to New York/Metropolis/DC, and a talked to it like that.

Exactly, so why are people so upset about Superman making a single, desperate kill at the end of a long, destructive battle?
Maybe because the scene was there pretty much solely for shock value. Like the only way they could think of in their attempt to make Superman compelling was to one-up Batman, so to speak.

And then, rather than actually build on what happened, or have Superman reflect on it, or do anything with this bit of attempted character, they cut to a another scene where he merrily smashes military hardware and a female soldier giggles 'cause he's hot.

It doesn't contribute anything to the character or to the story. It's just there in a cynical attempt to be edgy because that's what the filmmakers thought people wanted. And because Goyer is a terrible writer.

Yeah. Should've gone out for Schwarma instead. tongue

We already knew the Superman costume would look brighter because the behind the scenes pics and videos showed the costume as being more of a sky blue instead of the navy blue in Man of Steel, both in regards to regular lighting. Under color corrected movie footage it will darken, but being a lighter color is still lighter.

Are we seriously judging the tone of a movie by a character's costume colors? This is fucking ridiculous. Debating the effects of a character's actions on their personality? Fine. Costume colors? You have got to be kidding me.

The visual style a movie takes can be a great indicator of the movie's tone. In the case of [i]Man of Steel[/i], the costume had very dark, muted colors, which went along with the film's very dour tone. They kind of went hand in hand, there.

And it doesn't help when Snyder promises the movie is going to be brighter, but then most of the images he puts out have the saturation turned way down so that they all look very washed out. It gives the impression, at least to me, that he's only very reluctantly brightening the movie up, that he doesn't genuinely see the merits and would prefer to keep it drab and muted but is trying to get as many butts in seats as possible and is changing because of that.

I for one was talking purely cosmetic. It stands to reason that if Man of Steel was about isolation and alienation, Batman v Superman will be about You Are Not Alone.

For both of them, Clark can have whatever he needs to learn through that and Bruce can learn that he doesn't have to work alone.

This one is a trailer for a trailer, as it gives the release date for the trailer. Other things people have described as trailer for a trailer are actually just short trailers released before a longer one that shares the same content.

We live in a time where Marvel can tell people to watch Ao S because there's a new trailer after it bringing in more viewers to Ao S only for it to have less footage than a TV spot and then tell them to do the same again next week for the real trailer.
