you know this is really not funny anymore and I'm curious to see how some
of you diehard DC EU fans will defend this
latest development some of you are really trying the old Oh an opening
eyeteeth ledger when he was first cast right I'm seeing that old all over the
place when it comes to defending Kristen Wiig and it's like I think this is more
of an all-in Ehrenreich situation it's just a bad idea not everything's going
to turn out the way he'd ledger did that's what made Heath Ledger such a
special scenario but I don't even know what could possibly being thought here
so as you can see Warner Brothers has hired Ava Duvernay to direct a New Gods
movie and I like the idea of a New Gods movie we're gonna talk about that but
first off why would Warner Brothers hire someone who directed one of Disney's few
flops by the way to not only join their much beleaguer to DCE you write like the
DCU you can't take any risks right now on story or talent but to give her a
property that's not just difficult on its own the new gods but one that shares
a lot of similarities to the story depicted in a wrinkle in time which you
proved to be incapable of handling it's like who I really love how you torpedoed
that one that classic story Ava you haven't got another classic for you you
think you can run this one into the ground just as well I mean is Oprah
gonna be a new god I could actually see that that would actually be the only
good thing that Ava Duvernay would bring to this I just I'm I'm shocked and I
know I've heard some behind the sings scenes things about a wrinkle in time
the movie like there was no saving it it was really bad this isn't like oh poor
Ava Duvernay it's all her fault okay so why are we
doing two New Gods movie right because we didn't really establish Darkseid and
the New Gods are the flip side of a dark dark sides apocalypse so there it's like
a yin and yang situation or is it that's where things get really interesting is
it really that clear-cut apocalypse bad new genesis good of course not it's all
it's a more sophisticated story than that but I don't know why you would
expand a world that you have consistently not touched upon I guess
they're like hey Marvel got away with it they believe in T's
Bannos for like six six years and they're fun he's come out of nowhere
he's come out of out of the space stone all of a sudden to go and do something
so why can't we do it and I'd be like well I guess you got me there right now
it's interesting here is the Bible style the - this is the best story to come out
of apocalypse versus New Genesis their neighboring planets one looks like
Olympus will talk about Wonder Woman and one looks like a big giant apocalyptic
fire planet okay and you've seen hints at apocalypse from the movies themselves
because they you know they keep teasing it and if you're familiar with animation
at all you're more familiar with apocalypse and you are with New Genesis
so the two leaders of these planets decide that it's to try and have peace
or at least a truce between the two planets the two people they're both like
kind of gods basically they're gonna swap sons and raise them as their own
so Darkseid son Orion goes to New Genesis and then hi fathers sons
scot-free aka mr. miracle goes to apocalypse and these are two really
interesting characters like if I were an agent or a manager or an actor I'd be
like oh I hate this idea so much of Ava Duvernay directing it but as soon as
they start casting these roles let me know let's see how bad it is it's out
for instance Orion recently showed up in the new 52 is a romantic interest for
Wonder Woman I thought that was really good because you know Wonder Woman so
regal and Orion let's just say when he gets angry he shows some of his father's
tendencies and I thought they made four I'd like their dynamic was really
interesting and then also there's a great mr. miracle comic right now that
if you're not reading you should be from the guy who wrote vision over at Marvel
and did such a good job DC DC stole him and now he's not only writing Batman
he's getting Batman and Catwoman married but he writes this mr. miracle comic and
it's very good it's a little bit like the vision comics so it's not totally
unique but it's okay because it's so good I'll forgive it now the new gods in
relation to Wonder Woman's old gods I always found a particularly interesting
idea when it was introduced in the new 52 I thought that was a really good
correlation it's the most interesting thing that anyone's done with this
storyline in a long time and since right I mean this is not like
a really hot property but I can see it worth possibly exploring and that this
can be the guardians of the galaxy for the DCEO
and then eventually you've seen the Justice League out there and then that
could be really cool but you know what I would take a blade runner style approach
to this then agenda-driven touchy-feely approach that seems to be Ava Duvernay
s-- specialty so i'm you know i continue to be really torn I kind of liked some
of the instincts but I can go a you know what I'd be like hey Warner Brothers why
do you think Ava Duvernay is available what do you think Disney hasn't locked
her up going forward I'll tell you why they're glad to be rid of her
what did you take her so and the movie didn't I do well at the box office I'm
just really surprised all right write your thoughts down below and if you're
gonna defend it I'm curious to see what your approaches okay thanks so much for
tuning in and you can check out some more episodes right now
