DC's "Justice League" is finally available, and both the media and the public's evaluations seem to be polarized. Some people think that DC is very successful in letting go of "high cold" this time, and some people think that this change of entertainment popcorn style from dark to complete has made the whole series chaotic.
But since it is a superhero movie, our eyes are naturally more focused on the superheroes. So the question is, after the Marvel heroes are already familiar to everyone, who is the strongest hero of the Justice League and who is the weaker?
Let alone whether this "Justice League" is good or not, at least this movie of the heroes assembly tells us who the DC heroes can play best.
1. Superman
Attack: ★★★★★★
Weapons: need it?
Durability: ★★★★★★
IQ: ★★★
Potential: ★★★★
One thing "Justice League" tells us is that in the current DC universe, the Kryptonians are the best to fight. The resurrection of Superman has become the most anticipated highlight of everyone, but after his return, it will make people feel that it is better for him to continue to sleep.
He is like the existence of the Hulk in "Avengers", the big BOSS is coming fiercely, to destroy the earth, said I have collected 3 wooden boxes, and a group of monsters!
Batman said, we have a super man.
In "Justice League", we will also see Superman singles out Wonder Woman, Superman vs. Flash, Superman and Aquaman fight against each other, and Superman squeezes Batman. Who can beat Superman in the end? Don't guess, it's the woman named Louis.
2. Wonder Woman
Attack: ★★★★☆
Weapon: ★★★★★
Durability: ★★★★★
IQ: ★★★☆
Potential: ★★★★
As a character with BGM, when there is BGM, it is naturally open. Strong anti-fighting ability, explosive power level, and a weapon at the level of a god outfit. Once she comes up, she can be tough with the big boss. It is completely worthwhile. If she can awaken her with love, she is actually enough.
In "Justice League", Wonder Woman also has a performance that is not inferior to that of an independent film, and her superpower is full of shocking power. She is the existence of restraining the big BOSS, and with her face value, she is already an indispensable important force of the Justice League.
3. Aquaman
Attack: ★★★☆
Weapon: ★★★★
Durability: ★★★★★
IQ: ★★★
Potential: ★★★★☆
Aquaman is a descendant of Atlantis, one of the three branches of the earth, and the other two branches are humans and Amazons. His ability level is theoretically on the same level as the Amazonian Wonder Woman.
However, the first appearance of Aquaman in "Justice League" seems to have some reservations. Although he faced the big boss in the first battle, he also fought with Superman a little bit, but did not show the ability of the sea to scream. The weapon in the comics that can control the sea is really like Batman said in the movie, it's just a harpoon...
Perhaps the independent movie "Aquaman" is the real show time moment for this hero. "Justice League" he is just responsible for showing his face, helping to contain the big boss, playing cool, and then punching in and getting the lunch.
4. Flash
Attack: ★★★☆
Weapon: Sorry no
Durability: ★★
IQ: ★★★★
Potential: ★★★★★
The Flash's movie debut is very amazing, in addition to the lightning fast ability, but also has a good performance in amusement ability. However, the anti-fighting ability does not seem to be strong. It is not the type that Wonder Woman and Aquaman can face up to the opponent. He also said that he has no combat experience.
Not only did he have a speed battle with Superman in "Justice League", he also showed off his AOE attack ability in the final battle, and his ability to steal the spotlight was very strong.
In some lines, he also revealed that he can travel through parallel universes to another space, so that the ability to defend against the sky may come in handy in the future. There is definitely a lot of room for improvement in his ability.
5. Steel bone
Attack: ★★★☆
Weapon: ★★★★
Durability: ★★
IQ: ★★★☆
Potential: ★★★★★
What's amazing is the steel frame. His ability can not only transform the body into various weapons, fight and control various machines, but also synchronize with the Internet, and even get a lot of alien information. It's just that he still can't fully grasp his own abilities. At present, his bigger role is reconnaissance and analysis, similar to the "hacking role" of Iron Man in Marvel. Others are responsible for fighting, and he is responsible for "demolition".
"Justice League" narrated the origin story of Steel Bone, and it shouldn't be long before he got the ability. The combat ability is considerable, but not as stealing the spotlight as the above. The bigger highlight is that he alone can rival the reconnaissance ability of S.H.I.E.L.D. By the way, don't forget that it is the mother box that gives him the ability, which is equivalent to Marvel's infinite gem. The upper limit of his ability depends on whether the screenwriter dares to play bigger.
6. Batman
Attack: ★☆
Weapon: ★★★☆
Durability: ★★★
IQ: ★★★★★
Potential: ★★
Fans of Batman may be a little embarrassed, just like the "rich" stalk in the trailer, the superpower of the old man may really be just rich. Unlike the previous few real superpowers who can escape from the sky on their own body, Batman can only rely on military equipment, and he is really just a human body.
So in "Justice League", Batman's fighting ability is a bit embarrassing. Looking at a variety of individual spikes, he can only rely on his IQ to crush the creeps. Well, it's Batman's main job to do miscellaneous soldiers.
But fans don’t have to be disappointed too early. Don’t forget that in "Batman v Superman", the old man can restrain Superman, and he also played a central role in resurrecting Superman. Just like animal chess, although anyone can eat mice, only mice can eat elephants.
Batman is a very special hero, his charm is not in fighting, I believe friends who have seen Nolan's prequel trilogy can understand. "Justice League" transforms into a popcorn movie. Batman is a bit reluctant to be compatible with this movie style. No wonder DC's "Batman" independent movies don't want to participate in the movie universe afterwards.
7. Suicide Squad
Attack: ★★★
Weapon: ★★
Durability: ★
IQ: ★★
Potential: ★★★
Suicide Squad: Just remember us.
What about "Justice League"?
The biggest topic of "Justice League" is probably not the plot, not the characters, but the change in the style of DC movies. Perhaps because the dark style of "Batman v Superman" was not accepted by the public, director Zach Schneider resigned from the directorship midway through the production of "Justice League" in the face of pressure (due to a family accident), and DC simply sought it out. The director of the two "Avengers" Joes Weiden took over the reshoot and the final script re-creation.
As a result, "Justice League" became a Marvel-style pure entertainment popcorn movie.
Although the threshold is lowered, everyone can understand the plot without watching the previous series, and more passerby audiences can accept it, but "Justice League" has the same flaws as Marvel movies.
1. There is basically no plot, and the rhythm is too routine.
It's not like "Batman v Superman" that slowly tells the story, slowly deepens the dark wind. The opening of "Justice League" explains what the villains and protagonists are doing and what they are going to do. Most people can guess what they will do in the end and what will happen in the end.
So the story of the movie is very simple and totally unattractive. It is the big villain Steppenwolf taking advantage of Superman's death to attack the earth, and the heroes gather to destroy the big villain's conspiracy. The rhythm is also very routine, explain the background, play, literary play, play again, literary play, and finally fight...
2. Can you come to a powerful boss?
In DC’s previous 4 movies, the final big BOSS to be played can bring certain pressure to the protagonist. The battle of "Superman: Man of Steel" destroyed nearly half of the earth, and the battle of "Batman v Superman" combined the three heroes of the battle. Only barely had a fight, the BOSS of "Suicide Squad" also came for the entire planet, and the BOSS of "Wonder Woman" was the ancient god of war Ares, who had been crushing the immature Wonder Woman in the early stage.
I just didn't expect the Steppenwolves in "Justice League" to appear quite powerfully, especially against the Amazons. I didn't expect to see Superman in the end... the situation is like "Thor 3" Hela meets the flame giant, but it feels that it is not happy enough.
Of course, this Justice League also has its own advantages.
1. The play has a lot of weight and a strong sense of hitting the thief
DC obviously learned from the bad reviews of "Batman vs. Superman" and added a large number of fighting scenes in "Justice League". Steppenwolves vs. Amazons, singled out Aquaman in the water, Superman vs. 4 Justice League, Wonder Woman Man alone is a strong boss, Batman fights a small soldier, etc., a lot of battles, enough to burn and excite.
In fact, I personally feel that DC's fighting scenes are better than Marvel's, and the sense of attack is really much stronger. The heroes flying in and out of the sky are very cool. Even if many people complain about the problem that the special effects are too CG level in the game, in fact, the impact on the viewing is not great.
2. Foreshadowing the eggs with little care
Compared with Marvel's more and more careless end credit eggs, DC's easter eggs have a lot more information, especially the second easter egg is really a pleasant surprise, so you know.
And the feature film also has a lot of details foreshadowing, a careful analysis of "Batman vs. Superman" should be able to appreciate DC's intentions.
Unlike Marvel's multiple director teams, which have formed a timeline worldview that is difficult to change, DC can now construct its own worldview more rigorously. Now the entire DC world is in its embryonic form, humans on Earth, Amazon, Atlantis, as well as the Green Lantern Corps in the foreshadowing, and the extraterrestrial aspect is also waiting for expansion.
It can be said that the DC expansion universe has only just begun.
However, to compete with the already prosperous Marvel Universe, DC has to put in a lot of effort. After all, it is an indisputable fact that DC has lost at the starting line. At least from the perspective of "Justice League", the heroes of DC have yet to be known to everyone.
1. Anxious to hold a group, characterization is still insufficient
Because the first Superman independent film did not achieve the same success as Marvel's "Iron Man", DC brought the two big names together in the second film. Batman is out, but obviously this version of Batman has not been warmly welcomed by everyone.
Fortunately, the later "Wonder Woman" supplemented the individual combat capabilities of DC heroes, at least as far as "Justice League", many people will look forward to the performance of Wonder Woman. It’s just similar to Batman’s situation. The newly released Aquaman and Steel Bones are relatively unfamiliar to everyone. Although there are some background stories, it is difficult for the audience to remember all aspects of these heroes at once. Seriously, even the names of these heroes are remembered. Can't help.
So we will see that the second stage of DC will supplement this aspect, and each hero will have its own independent movie. While strengthening the character creation, how to join the linkage of the movie universe has become an examination question for the creators. Otherwise, when the Marvel heroes are teaming up, you are still fighting alone, which is obviously still at a disadvantage.
2. Insufficient personality conflicts between heroes and insufficient difficulty settings
In "Batman vs. Superman" we saw a conflict of ideas like the US team vs. Iron Man, but in "Justice League", this conflict suddenly disappeared. The only disagreement between the heroes is whether to resurrect Superman. problem.
On the other hand, "Avengers", the US team and Iron Man were upset when they came up, and Thor didn't look at these fools of the earth, and the three of them had a fight as soon as they met without saying anything. Only Dr. Banner was relatively low-key, but he was so angry that he almost destroyed his teammate's S.H.I.E.L.D. planes. Several superheroes even fell apart for a while, relying on the sacrifice of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to unite everyone together.
The heroes of "Justice League" are much more relaxed. Everyone plays for 5 minutes and then finds each other to gather together to fight the enemy together. The only small twist is the resurrection of Superman, but in the end Superman just made a joke with everyone, not as real as the Hulk. In the end, the final battle is a battle. In fact, Superman can win the BOSS alone. Everything is a matter of course. In the end, Louis's "chicken soup line" loses its power, and it feels more just "routine."
Think of the phrase "They will come back" by Fury at the end of "The Avengers". After an emergency assembly, torn apart, and then to the final concerted effort, the final dialogue between Fury and Agent Hill seemed particularly touching.
The entertainment belongs to the entertainment, the plot still has more twists and turns, the story can be wonderful. Especially in superhero movies, the reason why heroes are heroes is not how powerful they have superpowers, but because they are able to break through the dilemma with a stronger will and ability than ordinary people when facing extremely difficult dilemmas.
Obviously, the heroes of "Justice League" have not yet been truly tested.
Now that it has boldly transformed and learned generously from Marvel's success, DC will also face more conflicting choices. How to not lose its own characteristics and win the love of the public is not so easy to find.
