Most of the modern Marvel movies are pretty good, especially the Cap flicks and The Avengers, but the Marvelite in me takes exception to changing the race of key characters like Nick Fury, and key parts of origins like "Captain America and his Howling Commandos from WWII"?! Huh?! It's Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos and Nick Fury is supposed to be a white guy. Jeez, it's as aggravating to me as if they made a flick with Luke Cage being a white dude. Still, I have to hand it to the filmmakers for some spectacular action sequences and fight scenes. Those guys really look like they have superpowers as opposed to those lame '70s Marvel flicks  .

I always thought it would be cool as far as the MCU goes, if they made Nick Fury just an operative name and had a Nick Fury show up in one of the Marvel movies set in the earlier period prior to Iron Man (looking of course like the original Nick Fury from the comics)...but then again you'd have to explain why both Fury's had an eye injury?  Possibly due to their battle injury (which just coincidentally happens to be the same) they were pulled from active combat and given the title of Nick Fury; of course that would be altering standard lore even further so some may not like that.

Yeah, the old saying "Dance with who brung ya" is a good one to keep in mind. Many a classic tale is made weaker or downright turboEFFed just because some suit gets a little overly creative or worships at the throne of political correctness.

Well the "political correctness" began with the comics, using Samuel Jackson for the movie role was more than likely due to younger fans being more familiar with the Nick Fury (from Ultimate Universe) that younger fans were familiar with.  Personally I'd rather see Sam Jackson as Nick than David Hasselhoff.

I don't collect some of that later stuff because I just don't care about it. And, I don't want to see Jackson or Hasselhoff as Nick Fury.

As far as I'm concerned the best part of the Marvel Universe ended in the mid '70s. Most of the stuff prior to that is canon (especially from the '60s), and though there were good stories after that there was also a lot of crap. The problem is that there was just too much printed after the mid '70s because Marvel was no longer the Bullpen but became a cog in the wheel of big business. That's the main reason I only collect Marvel superhero comics up to around '72-'76 depending on the title, and some titles I don't collect at all. I've had enough of the Spider-Man/X-Men hoopla and frickin' reboots and re-imaginings to last a lifetime.

Also, I know Stan experimented with some of the Pre-Hero characters which later became Hero characters at least in name. For example, Xemnu the Titan was originally called The Hulk, etc. But, after things were established in the early-mid '60s that's what I'm referring to as Marvel Canon, and I don't like to see things get too screwed around with after that, which is why I choose not to collect most issues after the '70s. At that point things either got too repetitive or changed so much that it got annoying.

Everyone else can collect and watch what they like. This is just where I stand on the matter.

I still don't get people's critique that the movie didn't make sense or was hard to follow?  I understood the film, there just wasn't much there.  DCU's films have been pretty much just live action versions of your average DC animated film and there's nothing wrong with that.  There's little build up to any plot, it's just enough to get their heroes/villains up there on the screen to duke it out.  I don't know how any additional footage would make the film any better but will probably watched the extended at some point.

Yeah I think it's worth watching the extended cut. You see the scene where Lex Luthor communicates with Steppenwolf, for example. There are a few other neat things too.

I really like B v S and Suicide Squad. The critics hate both of the them, but I'm not sure what they were expecting. It's an action superhero movie---did they expect "Citizen Kane?" or "Gone with the Wind?"

I admit the MCU movies are better, but still, if you like simple, action packed superhero movies, then the DCU films are pretty entertaining. So i knew what I was getting when I went to the theater to see these movies last year. I mean it's Ben Affleck as Batman. I didn't expect to see Marlon Brando in "The Godfather." For the record, though, I thought Affleck was a pretty decent Batman. And I really like Jared Leto as the Joker. Still not sold on Jesse Eisenberg as Luthor though.
