Essential stuff

Today i went into this shop it was called essential stuff, why this is so significant is because i honeslty couldnt find an item in the store that was essential, they had a row dedicated to sented candles, there was a section for emoji stickers, they sold portable radios and universal remotes. It was a store that sold the most unessential things for todays society

DC EU

What annoys me about the recent DC expanded universe is the wasted potential, the heros all are so cool and interesting in the comics and animated movies but due to poor direction, casting and well pretty much everything the movies for me anyway fall flat. Take Justice League for instance, i just watched it tonight and mind you i havent seen all the set up movies but i've seen Batman v Superman and Wonderwoman (both average) we spend the whole movie watching Ben Afleck do some weird funny Batman like he's trying to an Adam West imppersonation but the tone for the movie is dark and it feel weird and out of place, in the animated movies when Batman makes jokes they kind of work and are usually him being equivocal or just kind of a dick but its funny, in this we see him straight up just revealing himself as Bruce Wayne to people he barely knows for no real reason, the movie just felt sloppy and i honestly think Ben Afleck could do better he's a decent actor and i genuinely believe that he could pull off an excelent Batman i think the problem is more with the script, I like the actor playing Aquaman i thought he was pretty good but again his character was i felt anyway not true to the comics which realistically he should be there were elements i saw in there but he was portrayed as like a biker or something idk it felt off for me. Then it seemed cgi heavy to the point where it looks shit me watching it now and this isnt an old movie. Anyway i didnt write this to review Justice League i wrote it to show why i think DC is failing in the Live Action, so lets look at it i'm a huge fan of the TV shows and the animated movies they're fantastic i usually view movies more from a story standpoint and for me most of those shows and movies hold up well the script is good and its an interesting story and the characters dont do stupid shit. So they have made good movies before even the Christopher Nolan movies are clearly great so its not an issue with the characters. That essentially leaves the casting, the Director and the script (plus a lot more but i wont get into all that) so i think a lot of the issues are in the script and the direction the action sequences suck and all the characters just feel off and unrelatable because we only see them as these infallable super heros we cant relate to them. Look at Marvels start they had iron man. Its great because Tony Stark is a likeable character and you can kind of relate to him he's having troubles at work and his love life is in shambles you he's relatable to normal people in some aspects and they spend time showing us Tony Stark he isn't just Iron man the whole movie. I think they tried to do something like this with Wonder Woman but i dont think the actor really pulls off the part. So Anyway Batman is the leader of the Justice League so we start with a movie about him get a villian that makes Bruce hunt him down not just get punchy he's the worlds greatest detective lets have like a murder mystery but i think it could really benefit from having lots of Bruce Wayne time because he's a character that we can relate to as people (something like Mask of the Phantasm would be good) then we have a Superman movie i think a really cool superman movie could start with him beating down some massive badass dude with a few punches and then take some inspiration from one punch man and show him sitting there in his fortress of solitude trying to comprehend his immense power. I think you might get the idea by now have a movie for each member but show them being people obviously have a cool fight as well but you know we need to feel for these characters and have a bunch of stand alone films. Throughout these movies we have Batman lowkey collating data working out that theres an incoming threat maybe we have a movies where Batman and Superman collab not fight but join together to take down someone strong. Anyway. Batman has worked out that heres something bad coming and over this time he already knows where everyone is and what their deal is maybe he's contacted them so we start the Justice League movie with this imminent threat so Batman get the bois together and they as one team work to take down the bad guys but i think its important that they have all the comic book originals in this movie. Then at the end of this one we get them forming together and branding it as the justice league, the sequal could be like dark seid and it would be cool. Then it opens it up for bring in the teen titans, Justice Society ect... then years down the road it all breaks up and we can have Batman V Superman like they do in the dark knight returns, it works better and they way they did it was stupid and a waste of a cool movie. Anyway this is probably pretty unstructured and sloppy bit hopefully its comprehensible, these are just my views on how i think DC could improve their live action movies
