What the hell is with the comments here?

Either they're all the same bot or no one has actually seen this show except the first commenter. 50/50

[–] slartibartfast@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Probably meme responding to whichever was the original 50/50 comment.

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 1 points 8 months ago

Meme responding is generally in the sub comments not top level comments, GENERALLY. there are exceptions of course. But I'm more inclined to believe bots.

Welp, 50/50 on people getting the joke. The first two times somebody made the same comment were meh/okay.

Ignoring the jerk to talk shit:

Why do people still like/hire this guy? I’ve never seen something with him I’ve really enjoyed, besides Batman Begins. He’s had a long career since 2005, and been credited on a lot of dogshit.

You’d think his career would’ve ended after he wrote Batman V Superman, but here we are? They gave him a show?

Hollywood isn't as "elite" as they make themselves out to be. It's full of "that guy who makes the shitty subway sandwich but shows up on time so they don't fire him". Goyer is that guy. He's probably likable, at least by Hollywood standards, and comes in at or under budget. Hollywood isn't full of Chris Nolans and Martin Scorseses, there are plenty of Goyers that get work. It just so happens that this Goyer is a nerd, and he keeps fucking up the nerd footlongs.

Didn't like The Dark Knight?

I suspect there may have been changes made by the studio for BvS. There was a whole subplot with congress that makes no sense unless there's a version of the story where congress orders Superman to go after Batman. Something similar to the Dark Knight returns but with a congress controlled by Lex Luthor influencing Supes instead of the President.

As it was, we have a plotline about congress that goes nowhere. I smell a studio exec saying "this plotline is boring, make it about his mother, hey look both Superman and Batman's mothers are named Martha, we should use that!"

Or maybe Goyer just sucks, who knows? Well I guess the people that worked on these movies and know who's responsible for the boneheaded decisions.

Goyer himself admits how lucky he is to have his name on the Dark Knight given how far he was from its primary writer.

[–] fathog@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

He didn’t write the script for The Dark Knight (and it shows) of course I love it lol

He’s only credited with coming up with the story, which is why I said Batman Begins, which he did write according to Wiki

Welp 50/50 of this show going sideward . The first two seasons were not watched by me.
