The finale of the new 52 era - "Justice League Dark: Apocalypse War"
Today, let's talk about the movie "Justice League Dark: Apocalypse War".
The title is Justice League Dark: Apokolips War (2020).
Just like the title, the film's protagonists are the members of the "Dark Justice League". The Justice League of Darkness is led by the familiar Zhakang, and Zhakang's main opponent this time is the most powerful Darkseid in the DC universe.
This time, Zha Kang not only has to bring back a group of bigwigs from the Justice League to regain face, but also to turn the tide and give an explanation to the entire new 52 era.
At that time, due to the lack of effective planning in DC comics, there were different degrees of confusion between the various characters, so the "Goldfinger" Flash Barry Allen created a Flashpoint (Flashpoint). In May 2011, The Flash found that he had "accidentally" changed history, and the entire universe fell into chaos, so he revised the timeline again, and the entire DC universe was restarted.
After the lightning event, all characters start a new life under the same world view. And this time after a lapse of 9 years, the DC universe ushered in a big event again, and the entire DC universe is facing a restart again.
The content of this film, as the title says, is a tragic war that took place in Apocalypse.
At the beginning of the story, Superman gathers his friends from all walks of life and prepares to directly attack Darkseid's nest, Apocalypse, thinking of going straight to Huanglong and solving Darkseid's old enemy once and for all.
As everyone knows, Superman's every move is all under the surveillance of Darkseid, the offensive action has become a meaningless suicide, and all the righteous friends headed by Superman are slaughtered.
The few remaining people who still have some fighting ability have been transformed by Darkseid, or defected. Superman was injected into liquid Krypton and was completely scrapped. Superman blood became the best formula for Darkseid's modified weapons; Batman became Darkseid's most loyal lackey; Wonder Woman received cyber transformation and became a powerful thugs...
At this time, Zha Kang, the protagonist of the story, appeared. With the unremitting efforts and persistence of Superman, Zha Kang agreed to attack Darkseid again, trying to find a little meaning in life.
Zha Kang led the Justice League Dark and the Suicide Squad led by Harley Quinn with a very dazzling performance, which caught Darkseid by surprise. Of course, the performance of the DC Big Three is indispensable in the process of the war.
After another extremely tragic battle, the entire universe returned to peace.
This time, DC chose "Justice League Dark: Apocalypse War" as the final chapter of the new 52 series, forcibly ending the series with a series of extremely tragic massacres.
The survivors are neither human nor ghosts, and the entire universe has been devastated. It is estimated that the screenwriter was thinking about restarting anyway, so why not smash it and play it.
Dead, dead, dead. What should I do if the game crashes? Just torture a Flash to sacrifice to the sky and restart.
If you just look at this "Justice League Dark: Apocalypse War", there are still many highlights, blackening, reversal, and all the elements that could have become the material of major events are all shown here. According to this book, maybe this is what the movie version of "Justice League" should look like.
If DC can plan well, shoot a single movie for each character of the Justice League or Dark Justice League, slowly lay the groundwork, accumulate a few years, and then launch a "Justice League", the effect must be good.
Maybe DC is jealous of Marvel next door, can't wait, and hastily launched "Justice League" after launching a few live-action movies in a hurry. As a result, the director, actors, and audience were all dissatisfied.
And like the live-action movie "Aquaman", in this final chapter, he didn't even have the qualification to show his face, instead it was Mera who appeared. The super soldier Sea King really has no cards at all.
I really can't understand DC's plan, does it restart the universe every few years? Take a look at Marvel next door, and the "Avengers" series has been well received after ten years of grinding a sword. DC did not think about planning the many characters under it and designing a visionary plan, but continued to use the golden finger to restart.
The first time I used The Flash to sacrifice to the sky, the big guy would still feel very fresh. I didn't expect Speed Force to be able to play like this. If you play the same trick too much, the audience will definitely feel tired. Restarting and reinstalling is a small trick to repair the computer. A big company like yours also plays like this, which is a bit pricey.
The martial arts drama in this film is full of highlights. The battle between good and evil, the battle between gods and demons, and the intersection of different dimensions are here. Literary dramas are up for debate, and there is always a feeling of restarting for the sake of restarting.
But then again, no matter how you shoot it, DC fans won't be satisfied. After all, the whole world view can be restarted if there is nothing, who can stand it.
Destroy the world and let go of yourself,
The finale of the new 52 era.
