The same could be said for Wonder Woman and yet no one in Hollywood has even the slightest clue of how to do that right.

I definitely second the call to have Timm, Dini and co. take over DC's live action projects. They got lucky when they put Nolan in charge of Batman because all he really did was make some gritty crime dramas and throw Batman into them, which is all you need to do to make some decent Batman, and even then it's still kinda shitty when compared to actually good Batman stories.

But WB doesn't get that, so they're trying to do the same thing by making a gritty crime drama and throwing Superman into it, which is a fucking terrible idea.

That's because Wonder Woman hasn't had a definitive run until the reboot.

I'm going to ignore your interpretation of the Nolan films and move on to agreeing with that last bit.

Warner Bros. doesn't really get what Superman is. He's just a property to them. A Superman movie should not be gritty in the slightest. It can be dark at times but it should always be optimistic. If they really wanted to make a good reboot of Superman then they would have set about adapting Birthright with a good director attached to it, not someone who can crank out a piece of shit in time for them to maintain certain rights and avoid paying more to the estate of the people that fucking created the whole thing.

I think what we all want really though, deep down inside, is a proper live action Squirrel Girl movie.

You know this to be true.

Plus the failure of most of the other DC TV shows as you have mentioned (Birds of Prey, anyone?)

Heh, my post originally went through all of the live action shows, but I figured the Flash was like 20-30 years ago, Lois & Clark jokes are hacky, and only me and my dog watched Birds of Prey all the way through (at the time it was because I was in middle school and it was populated by hot girls, but I'm trying to retcon that by saying it had Sloan playing Harely Quinn). The less said about how close we all were to that horrendous Wonder Woman show, the better.

There are some theaters who cannot show 3D properly (They mess up, poor projector quality, et cetera) and in those theaters, it'll look like crap. I know a lot of places around me have the same problems. I can't speak for The Avengers in 3D, because I saw it in 2D, but that might have been your problem.

In general though, I hate 3D, because of how it makes all the colors washed out, when you look through the glasses at them.

The 3D in Avengers is cheap post-production shit. Maybe half of the scenes are actually 3D and even then, weakly so. There's a few decent shots of it but overall, as per usual, 3D is a shitty gimmicky experience. Money that had been pumped into just making the screen higher resolution, more vibrant, better surround sound, comfier seats, would have been infinitely better.

Ironman's HUD looked pretty neat but... that's about the only thing I liked about 3D in that movie.

[Bells]

the iron Mand HUD was in 3D? I Honestly didn't noticed! They only scenes i actually recall the 3D kicking in are Panoramic shots, Loki's appearance with captain america, and certain parts of the final battle.

I've given 3d a chance several times, and I can honestly say it has never done anything for me on any level. In fact I barely even notice it most of the time, which is why I've made a pledge never to both seeing anyhting in 3d ever again.

It doesn't work, adds nothing to the experiance (and is sometimes even jarring and detrimental), it's often only tacked on later as a gimick anyway and it costs more to see everything in 3d to boot. Fuck 3d.

[Bells]

to be honest, the 3D on Thor was cool looking. It was only used a very few times, but when it was done, it was done well. It seems 3D works better on Native CGI effects then when applied to real footage.
