let’s talk justice league

OKAY so first of, because it has been what everyone has been arguing about over the last couple of days anyway

the amazon outfits

okay so here’s the deal;

the amazon warriors are still wearing, at least to my very untrained eye, the same armor as they wore in wonder woman

ad rem; they were not wearing any more revealing clothes

now, the point of discussion is rather the guards of the motherbox

there were about 6 or 8 of them, that guarded the temple where the motherbox was being kept, and they are the ones wearing the outfits that you can see in the pictures floating around social media lately

and i’m not going to defend that, because it’s still an objectifying decision, even if i guess you could argue your way around that the temple guards doesn’t need as extensive armor as the warriors, seeing how they don’t actually take part in any actual battle, but w/e

the amazon warriors are still wearing their original armor from wonder woman though, and they are still kicking ass

and like

the way they kick ass

ngl, the amazon section of the movie was my absolute favorite

the way they just kept sending the motherbox forward, refusing to let anyone stop them was just

argh

i’m so empowered and also kinda gay

i also really enjoyed the atlantean portion of the movie, short as it was, and my darling mera, i can’t wait to see more of you in the aquaman movie next year

but the actual movie justice league?

i... enjoyed it

but it isn’t... solid

like, you can tell that it was a very fractured mess of a production

because it has the heart, i think it has the basic storyline, and the actors have the chemistry, which is what i think is you need to produce a solid movie

but it never quite succeeds in tying it all together

like, it doesn’t really feel like a movie

it just feels like snapshots stacked on top of each other, trying to tell a story

which doesn’t make for the best cinematic experience

and it makes me so sad, because this movie had so much more potential, like i said; it has the heart, it has the story, it has the chemistry

but it just never quite succeeded in tying it all together

it’s also too short

i haven’t really kept updated with the production news, but they’ve been forced to cut it down??

which is very sad

it’s just this side of a little too rushed, and i really missed some key scenes from the trailers

most notably diana and bruce being the Literal Mom And Dad of the league down in the batcave, alfred’s “i hope you’re not too late” (because who was that even supposed to be addressing???) and then clark’s “i’ll take that as a yes”

this also ties back to how the movie feels like just snapshots stacked on top of one another; you don’t really get the storytelling in between, which really builds a story from the core

i was also not a fan of the superman resurrection plot

superbat is real, and bruce is so in love and so heartbroken, but i just

idk, it just didn’t sit right with me

like, don’t get me wrong, i adore our clark, and i like superman

but i would have really, really enjoyed getting to see the league, as they were advertised, trying to save the world on their own

because their sequence fighting steppenwolf before clark showed up was magical, and some really hecking cool teamwork

and then superman just felt like an unnecessary deus ex machina, and just

nah

and like, while bruce’s “he was a better man than i am” was very gay and very much appreciated, i wasn’t really a fan of the insistence that what the team really needed was clark

like, let bruce take that responsibility, no matter how reluctantly it might be, and let him build that with diana

i also guess it’s because this wasn’t how i expected clark to come back

i guess it’s because i wanted it to be of clark’s own volition??

because dawn of justice built that up!! clark’s heartbeat was there!!! he wasn’t really dead!!!!!! we knew he was coming back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and yeah, idk, that whole plot point just didn’t sit right with me

i also feel like all that time they spent on that plot could have been spent in so much better ways

and yeah

just not a fan

i also really wished they would have given lois more space

like, i know, she isn’t really a part of the story, but she really, really lost a lot of her agency

she was really just superman’s love interest in this, and i’m not a fan of that

batfleck is growing on me though

i’m slowly coming around to his whole aesthetic

the batmobile is very cool my brother-in-law is going to enjoy this one

and the whole detail of him using a petty criminal to lure out a parademon, and then just leaving him tied up and abandoned on a gotham rooftop was so spot on

but just let him have his batfam already

like, when bruce asked for the nightcrawler, my brain shortcircuited, and for just the tiniest little moment, i thought he said nightwing and i just went !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! until i realized what was actually going on

i know people have been uncertain of ray fisher’s and his performance

BUT OH MY GOD

he’s truly the cyborg we deserve

oh my gosh

i’m really looking forward for them to get the time and space to really flesh out his backstory in his solo movie and for him to grow even more as a character

because wow

it was so good

ezra miller as the flash was everything i never knew i needed

oh, the sweetheart

he’s a dorky jewish boy who’s possibly autistic?? who just wants to save people and make friends

and he brought both the humor and the depth, and i’m so in love

also, what even was his running my darling

i’ve been so PUMPED for jason momoa’s interpretation of aquaman

and oh man, was i not disappointed

he just wants to rock n’ roll, and oh my god, i can’t blame him

it was just

so much fun

and i feel like he really got the short straw in the backstory section, but that may be because of his movie coming up already next year

because i was really intrigued by atlantis, and arthur’s place there, and his entire relationship to it

and even though i’m not really a fan of his animosity with mera, it’s gonna be pretty exciting to see them grow into the power couple we all know them to be

i’m not even ashamed of this; i cried during diana’s introduction

i just love her

much

and one of my biggest fears before the movie was that diana was going to lose some of her agency

but she’s still the wonder woman we know and love, keeping her faith in love while kicking guys asses

i also love how they dealt with her leadership role, because it really placed her on equal ground with batman and superman

and this is the holy trinity we deserve

i would have so absolutely adored diana and arthur’s teamup against steppenwolf, if the events of the flashpoint paradox didn’t leave a sour taste in my mouth every time i see them standing next to each other

and why is dc like this

AND SPEAKING OF i literally screamed at that one lantern sighting, and just give us hal you fuckers

i really, really loved how easily clark took to both victor and barry though

because he already kind of knew bruce and diana, but he opened up so quickly to both victor and barry, took them under his wing and joked around

and he really is, as my favorite trash can once put it; america’s dad

and please, please, can i get dinah in the dceu PLEASE

but the most logical opening for that would be in the batgirl movie that joss “motherfucker” whedon is directing and NO NOPE GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY GIRLS YOU CREEP

you could tell that the fucker had rubbed his disgusting little hands all over certain parts of the movie

and i want to cry

it deserved so much better

another one of the controversies that i’ve seen playing out all over social media, even though this was some time ago, was the mass destruction

which is very valid criticism, because it was such a huge part of both man of steel and dawn of justice

but they actually thought that through

yes, they completely destroy almost an entire city

but they have that city be a mostly abandoned nuclear power site, with very limited civilians around, and they do make a huge deal out of getting everyone out before someone gets hurt

and how it in the end becomes a kind of alien garden was kinda sweet

and speaking of “just this side of a little too rushed”; i actually can’t remember the end of the movie??

like???

did they become a proper team?? is the justice league an established force to reckon with now??? do they have team meetups??????????

OH NO WAIT I REMEMBER NOW

bruce is making a hall of justice

that was kinda sweet tbh

BUT I ALMOST FORGOT

that opening was so beautiful, and i cried, and i really do love the dceu after all
