The Problem With DC Action Scenes

This video aged like fine vine. Dceu is dead. And we are so glad

The end of the video just amazing

I stopped paying attention to dc when they made suicide squad... Even the trailer seemed contemptuous of the audience

👎

Thanks, i didn't know how to put what bugs me about the action scenes in words and this video helped. It's mostly the physics and gravity being off, then the framing and posing. To use an animation term, it seems like the choreography doesn't have good key frames and so they don't know what to do in the in betweens. And no one put much thought into the physics of flying. But also what I've been complaining about forever, character moments and personality.

Spoiler alert for the future, they never did figure it out and ruined the return of Keaton Batman...shame

I feel like action is just as subjective as art itself. To me, i think the action in the MoS, BvS and ZSJL, The Suicide Squad have more or less been great. I far prefer them over most of the action in mcu, not that theyre bad by any means. The russo brothers action is amazing for example. I personally dislike the action in movies like WW84, Captain Marvel, Suicide Squad, Thor 4 etc. But chances are, somine else may like them.

I absolutely loved the first Dr. Strange movie. The second one, on the other hand, imho, was dreadful. It was all action, very strong, constant action. There was nowhere to rest your eye, no time to rest your brain, pause, and take a breath.

This thesis about Marvel being better than DC is everything misses the mark, because they are different characters at their cores. DC characters are less “grounded” and are more larger than life. So making their action more realistic or relatable would contradict their design. I agree that most of them drone on too long and become exhausting, but they are accurate to those characters’ nature as being more mythological and less realistic.

Fortunately Zack Snyder’s Justice League and The Batman have shown that DC can make action scenes that have a lot of weight.

Well done, very accurate, very articulate.

I think the Snyder Cut fixed many of these issues. But The Batman has taken them to heart.

DC action scenes are much more creative than trash marvel

Haha I'd love to see how your 3 points of physics, creativity and pauses fit into Zack Snyder's Justice League. I think it was a big improvement from his first 2 films too.

Imagine feeling super hero fatigue 4 years ago.

My man!

Outro song?

Legit! Great analysis and in a simple, straight forward manner you demonstrate positively all your comments. I love this. Thanks.

Next do a video where Marvel has a CGI problem especially with their final battles, since it's to CGI heavy like Shang Chi.

DC is crap

While I agree with several points in this video, there are so many exceptions, it's hard to claim there's a clear pattern with all Marvel compared to all DC movies. Another thing... the Snyder Cut of Justice League (which, to be fair, came out AFTER this video) has some really-good scenes in it. IMHO

Don't show this to a shit Snyders fan. Snyderverse is shit

Snyder sux

This marvel fan boy trying to say marvel so much better than dceu
But everyone knows marvel movies are for kids
alwasys dc and dceu movies has some deep meaning.
Also dceu fight scenes are the best .
Batman v superman
Wonder woman v doomsday
Wonder woman v Ares
Superman v zod
Whole justice league v steppenwolf (zsjl)

And also don't forget - people hate what they don't understand ?

Marvel movies are soo unreal.
Dceu fight scenes are the best.

You don't know nothing about Cinema , Nerd ......
Go home and watch your Cartoon Movies .......

Peacemaker and the Batman are apparently pretty okay

I'm gonna spare one single dceu set piece that really nailed it for me, and that is batman beating up those guys to save Martha Kent.

Worst video I have ever watched. Way to go smartass. People who actually believe this stuff are borderline stupid. What a child you have to be to say characters quipping and making jokes in the middle of the fight is the way to go.

this seems very biased. superman vs zod, the batman warehouse fight, most of the aquaman action scenes for example where you can clearly see what each character is doing are so much better than lots of mcu action scenes that just use shaky camera and lots of cuts. And also I dont see how funny quips in the middle of fights is supposed to make it better, it ruins the immersion and gets a little annoying after a while.

That outro!!!

I wonder if he will make a part 2 of this video. Especially with already a bunch more of dc movies already out. Plus marvel movies might be better but there choreography, well at least hand to hand sucks.

So writing.

O-RIGHT ! You son of a b** 😂 👏 genius

As a fans of Snyder movies, Snyder use alot, like a ton of slow motion on his film and it actually work perfectly well in his older work. In 'Legend of guardians' slow motion accentuate a dramatic scene as you can see the slow motion is prominently featured in the big fight at the end and left the first part almost devoid of slowmotion. In '300' Slowmotion used as a tool to show power and dominance. In 'sucker punch' the clever used of psychedelic music against the bleak and dark environment, paralel the use of slowmotion on action sequences, it use slowmotion to accentuate the power of a weak woman against the powerful monster.

I'm honestly disappointed of how Snyder make the DCEU movies.

Main problem with DC action movies why is the background is always BLURRY! it doesn't good look and makes the eyes sore.

zsjl?

It's the other way around, the Russo's action is edited to shit, you DON'T feel the punches, it adds nothing but a poorly done aesthetic that doesn't fit. And even using the theatrical cut of Justice League isn't fair cause that's not his movie, if this dumbass video had just waited for the Snyder cut you'd know that.

don's show this to DC die hard simps, they won't listen to logic.

all these comics films are nothing but endless mounts of "expensive" garbage...
No matter how much you polish a Turd, it will remain a Turd!
people had enough of that junk!
watching these movies is like watching the oscars... or watching hoes on instagram / tiktok

the Budget is Expensive, yet very LAZY, DULL, Boring and Cringy! and its not risky to pour money on these shitty movies
because sadly all the "Patrick Star" people out there... will have a Joy-Seizure ... and will rush to the cinema!
like mentally retarded kids who enjoy watching car keys wiggle infront of them for 90 minutes

Would love to know your thought on the differences between 2017 Justice League and 2021 Zack Snyder's Justice League

Superhero films are a baseline amusement part shit show

Nerdwriter1: criticizes the DCEU

Also Nerdwriter1: Shows a Joss Whedon movie

How do you feel James Gunn's Suicide Squad action & dialogue set pieces fared in comparison to other DC movies?

What does "Zack Snyder's Justice League " say ? Superman has always been with his fist against the enemy in the comics

No shit marvel is better because the directors want it to be nothing like marvel. Your saying that dc should have everything that marvel has

Bro who runs this channel wouldnt action if superman punched him in the teeth 😂
