As we all know, DC has long realized that superhero movies can’t be shot like they used to be if they want the box office to be hot. After the last moderate transformation of "Wonder Woman" (I would like to say that for this movie, I personally think that it is a very objective evaluation), I personally look forward to the end of DC's transitional pain period as soon as possible. , But after reading "Zhenglian", I just want to sigh with emotion: "Yes, this time is simple and direct enough, but the transition period is still going on." This time, my DC Marvel double flour is not detailed. Talking about this film, but I want to talk more about the status quo and problems of DC in combination with this film.
First of all, compared with Marvel, the progress of DC's superhero movie project is very problematic, and this is also a thorny issue that DC must solve as soon as possible. In the past two years, Marvel can be said to be a hundred flowers blooming. All superheroes are expanding their IP reputation and influence, and they have gradually shaped their own characteristics (to make the audience feel tired, the audience will pay, This is critical and true). "Ant-Man"? Family carnival. "Beauty Team"? The hero camp tears 13. "X-Men"? Beat the sky into the earth. "Doctor Strange"? Another door. "Guardians of the Galaxy"? Groot! (Don't forget, there are other kinds of strangers like "Deadpool" who go slantingly, but can firmly grasp the popularity). In addition, in terms of leaning towards artistic attainments and showing the depth of superhero culture, Marvel also produced high-level masterpieces like "Wolverine: Fight to the Death" (and this movie can be made more torturous and more teary! ). In addition, I would also like to mention "Spider-Man: Homecoming". This movie is very good and profoundly reshapes and restores this iconic hero of Marvel for decades. It makes people applaud after watching it! (Old man Li can really appear cheerfully in all future Marvel movies. In terms of filming, marketing and other aspects of the entire film, Marvel has really been completely on its own super highway).
On the DC side, I want to start from the disadvantage of "BvsS". If "BvsS" is the last stubbornness of DC in its own style (of course, I hope not.), then the current "Zhenglian" may be fierce. Dive into the sea of popcorn. The transitional period of DC is actually the "good work window period." The DC in this window period gives people the feeling, borrowing an old saying that "wen can't test characters, and Wu can't defend himself." I didn't take out one to read it. Works that are addictive or thought-provoking (which is more embarrassing). DC is not only at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but also has to endure the huge disadvantage of word-of-mouth and the long process of creating hero IPs during the transition period. . May wish to compare "Thor 3" with similar schedules. "Zhenglian" is quite inferior in terms of the degree of popcorn. ). You should know that "Zheng Lian" is a "big" film series of the same equivalent level to face "Re-Lian", and it is one of Marvel's independent hero series (and Thor's popularity is average compared to other Marvel heroes. If the box office and word-of-mouth are down, DC is already very difficult to accept ("Thor 3" is almost finished with a smile). In the next year, although DC will have "Flash", "Aquaman" and no regular "Batman" new works, the independent film of "Steel Bones" will go regularly in 2020. But no matter which one of them here, I feel a lot of pressure. This is also a potential problem of the DC Universe shooting plan: shooting the "big" movie series first, and then shooting the independent hero series, it may fall through at both ends. Only Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman among the heroes that appeared in this "League of Legends" have independent films foreshadowing and introduction in front. (The appearance of the other three heroes in "BvsS" can only be regarded as a small easter egg rather than a role setting and formal introduction, and the large version of Batman is just a newcomer and is still in the adaptation period). So, "BvsS" and "Zhenglian" did not blow the assembly call on word of mouth and box office, then the pressure of the independent hero series can be imagined. In fact, for the current DC, what is more needed is something more violent and explosive, instead of playing a big flag and making a small noise. The small noise is still in the super unpopular ones that may be shot in the future. Let’s go to the hero movie (a little fight, to borrow the words of the Flash in "Zhenglian", "I’m in trouble, usually, I just go over and push that person..."). Like "Zheng Lian" is not handsome for 3 seconds, the villain big boss who is squashed by Superman at will is better (it is said that Steppenwolf is still in the comics
In the next year, Marvel's "Big" movie series "Reunion 3: Infinity War·Part 1" will definitely be a blockbuster, and Marvel's upcoming independent hero series will not accidentally be a big seller. . DC's road to counterattack... a long way to go. However, I personally look forward to 19 years, and I hope that "Shazam" can make DC break out, and "Gotham City" can shine. come on! DC!
