The edited version of Zha Dao came out, and everyone found that the stalk of the master I am rich was indeed Zha Dao, and the close-up of WW's body was also Zha Dao, and Whedon deleted the scene of Darkseid, and the other contents are basically the same as Zha Dao's , so some people feel that "Weedon is wronged!" "Zha Dao is just like that" and "Weedon did his best for two hours."
Sorry, it's not.
Whether it's Whedon's original intention or Warner's intention, Whedon's version of Justice League does completely block the possibility of DC's construction of the universe.
If the DCEU is the MCU, what it lacks the most is a movie like Avengers 1, a movie that brings everyone together to form a "combination". Originally, the Justice League should accomplish this goal, but the Weedon version did not capture the sense of alliance of the Justice League, and everyone was just a tool for resurrecting Superman. Moreover, the villain has also been slashed into Tie Hanhan. If the villain is not strong, the alliance is unnecessary. Why does the Steppenwolf that Superman can knock down with one punch wants everyone to fight together? If you don't have a sense of combination, then how do you circle new fans vertically into the pit, and how do you spread the linkage of future movies?
Whedon's biggest mistake was cutting out most of The Flash and Cyborg. To be honest, the success of the Avengers lies in the success of the group play. Iron Man and the US team have established their images in the previous single-player movies, while the Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye are featured in the Avengers 1 movie. image is formed. Similarly, the Superman Iron Man and BVS before the Justice League also explained the two main characters clearly, and Wonder Woman's single-player movie also explained her image. If the images of Flash Man Steel and Aquaman stand up, And everyone has a sense of combination, then the universe behind can be opened. But in Whedon's movie, the steel skeleton was turned into an ordinary tool man, and was torn apart by the Steppenwolf. Xiao Shan became a happy comedian, who was purely responsible for laughing. Aquaman has a feeling that he has no such person, and there are also Infighting, no sense of friends or family at all. After watching it, it's hard to imagine that they will link up after that. It feels like everyone is a colleague who goes to work together, eager to go home after hitting the boss, and don't be the kind of bus.
This version of Zha Dao's editing just makes up for this problem.
In the early stage, Batman felt that he needed a team, but the formation process hit a wall everywhere. Wonder Woman also said about the war 5,000 years ago. At that time, the various races on the earth fought independently and did not cooperate. Many places are showing that it is not easy to build a team, but it is also very important.
In the middle, by looking for The Flash and Cyborg, they showed their life experience and character. At the same time, it also buried a lot of foreshadowing to provide the possibility to create a personal film. Their first cooperation was to grab the mother box. Although Wonder Woman said we had to have a plan and cooperate, Cyborg tried to save his father and directly destroyed the possibility of cooperation. The Flash also complained, "Don't you want to cooperate to fight them?" But during the battle, everyone encountered difficulties. Wonder Woman's sword fell off a small flash to help deliver it, and the master's big machine damaged the steel frame through the connection system. Restart him. Xiaoshan helped him send Cyborg's father out. After Xiaoshan was injured, the master would quickly help him to rescue him when the flood came, and finally Neptune came out to control the water. Although there was no active cooperation, the Super Heroes completed team work for the first time. It feels like an alliance.
The final battle is also the same. The master's plan is to lure away the demons and let the steel bones go to the mother box to generate electricity, but the others still decided to fight with him. When fighting Steppenwolf, although before Superman appeared Everyone was almost destroyed, but there was cooperation. After Superman appeared, although he overturned Steppenwolf, it did not prevent the mother box from synchronizing. One detail is that after Xiaoshan is hit, the demon can hit again, but if he is shot in the head by the master, otherwise Xiaoshan may continue to be injured. After that, Xiao Shan’s personal highlight moment. After feeling the helplessness of his companions, he endured the pain and ran out at superluminal speed to change history. After the steel bone was connected to the mother box, there was also a paragraph where his parents appeared to persuade him to “come back to us”. Let's go", but he said, no, I have new friends and destroy the mother box. These processes all reflect that they are not fighting alone, but as a team.
The success of Marvel Avengers is not only because of its funny and grounded atmosphere, but because it has truly established the bond between Chaoying, and the sense of mission and teamwork of everyone working for the same goal. Zha's films do this without losing his personal stylistic character. If you cut a 2-hour movie according to his idea, it may not be a commercial film that can sell well. And it can lead the Flash, Cyborg's personal movie, and the easter egg at the end also hints that there will be a Batman personal movie and a follow-up to the Justice League.
But to put it bluntly, Whedon killed all the possibility of opening the DCEU based on the Justice League.
Don't think that it is easy for DC to open the universe with the two blockbuster IPs of Dachao and Master. On the contrary, it is very difficult for DC to create the same universe as Marvel. , it is best to make passers-by enter the pit vertically (otherwise, where do you think Marvel fans come from, the movie fan fans alone are scary), on the other hand, you must ensure that you can satisfy the old fans as much as possible. taste. Water can carry a boat and capsize it. DC's solid fan base and the classic images of Superman and Batman make it difficult to open the universe.
But if you don’t engage in the universe, you will have to keep frying and not pushing new IPs. The first-tier superheroes have always been popular, and if other second- and third-tier superheroes want to let more people know about them, they can only brush their faces in group dramas to create a bond that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and then take advantage of the trend to become a new popular IP (see Wanda Fantasy See).
Although the box office of Zha Dao's Superman Iron Man and BVS was not as high as expected, the Justice League generated with these two films as the background can really open the DCEU. Although Zha Dao's chess is not as fierce as Marvel at the beginning, the layout behind it is still very exciting. Moreover, if DC takes the old road of Marvel, it will not work. The first person who eats crabs will be remembered by everyone, and the second person who eats crabs is just following suit. Abandoning their own characteristics and blindly learning from their opponents is a dead end, but Warner leads DC to die more and more. It is said that Aquaman's box office is very good, but everyone just regards it as a cool film, that is, no new fans enter the pit vertically, and there is no linkage with other films.
If you want to say that Zha Dao is a god, that's not true. From Superman's Man of Steel to BVS, there are some shortcomings in his movies - in order to highlight Superman's divinity and humanity, he always complicates things and requires you to be patient and watch it carefully, not just to be cool, and The box office really doesn't work. But the Justice League is really different from the first two. It can be very refreshing if it is pressed for a long time. In the end, five or six people played the effect of hundreds of people in that battle. From the tangle of Superman in Superman's Man of Steel, to the thinking about whether Superman is a god or a human in BVS, it is very heavy, which is why the box office response is not good. But the Justice League is no longer so heavy. It allows you to see the power of God and the power of people. This is a point that can make people feel refreshed. But when he got to Whedon, he still left everything to Superman to solve it. In the end, everyone only saw the power of God, but not "people".
You can say that Whedon has made some mistakes, but I think he should be the one who brought down the big cauldron of the DCE U universe, not the guide.
Finally, I advise DC movies not to think about learning from Marvel. It’s okay to do linkages and combinations, but it’s not good to learn from Marvel. People have already played the rest, and Marvel is starting to find a new way out. It’s serious and serious. This style is very good, don't swerve in the direction of happy comedians.
