Zack Snyder>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Joss Whedon

 

[McNulty]

Guardians was pretty awesome.

Zack Snyder>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Joss Whedon

I think Whedon is a lot better.

Snyder is all style and no substance.

He hasn't convincingly made me believe in any of the worlds he has created.

Zack Snyder>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Joss Whedon

Said no-one ever

i love how everyone thinks he is a genius because of the avengers, which was pretty much gift warped to him

most of his garbage tv shows have been cancelled

At least Whedon comes from a comic book background and understands the genre.

Snyder is the Michael Bay of comic book movies...his answer to everything is "MOAR CGI!!!!!!!"

 

[Frederick]

Let's see...Whedon has directed three movies:
Serenity
The Avengers (third highest grossing of all time)
Much ado about nothing

He also wrote all three of those movies

According to rottentomatos, each movie rated:
82%
92%
84%

Zack Snyder has directed the following:

Dawn of the dead
300
Watchmen
Legend of the guardians: the owls of ga'hoole
Sucker punch
Man of steel

Snyder also wrote 300 and sucker punch.

each of those movies rated, as follows:
75%
60%
64%
50%
23%
56%

Comparing those results, it's pretty clear who the better director of the two is...


But hey, you just keep on dreaming, you silly DC fanboi you

 

[runatme]

god it is so damn easy to rile up the marvel fangirls

wow his last movie grossed a massive 4 million lol

imagine if he hadn't been give the avengers on a platter he would be in brett rather territory

DC > Marvel

 

[elyod138]

I've never even seen The Avengers, I prefer DC. Whedon clearly has the better body of work.

That's the second time you've said he was given the avengers on a platter. Explain how?

One thing is for certain...if Snyder had directed the avengers, it would've been an over bloated cgi piece of shit with absolutely no plot or character development (see man of steel)

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Man of steel was incredibly average. DC have failed miserably at fleshing out a character thats not named Batman. In the cinematic world Marvel owns DC.. either directly via their own studio or indirectly via Fox's XMen. A movie like Captain America The Winter Soldier is way beyond man of steel and in my opinion on par with the best batman flick. Guardians of the galaxy is fantastically fun. Cost almost half of what green lantern did to make yet wipes the floor with it.

 

[runatme]

Winter Solider is the best thing marvel has ever done 110%
but i highly doubt marvel could ever top a film like Superman:The Movie

Good to see you're basing your whole DC>Marvel argument on a single movie that is almost 40 years old :lol:

Again, explain how Whedon was delivered Avengers on a platter

 

[runatme]

all the ground work was done for him
iron man, captain america, thor etc etc
that all leaded up to avengers
he just comes in with everything served to him on a platter
and everyone says "wow what a genius"
the movie was always going to be a sucess, no matter what
credit must go to marvel for there phase 1 movies, not so much the 2nd phase

doesn't really matter what i say you will come up with some garbage, like you always do
make mine marvel lol

So you're saying that any directer could've come in, thrown those characters together and been as successful as Whedon? :lol:

It took a carefully written script to be able to manage that many high profile characters into a story that not only made sense, but also flowed smoothly. The Avengers could've very easily been a critical failure, but it wasn't, and all credit for that is down to Whedon's script and directing.

Marvel is the most powerful studio in hollywood at the moment, and is showing no signs of slowing down.

But it's ok...there was a good Superman movie about 40 years ago :lol:

Finally figured out how to work these spoilers. Re GOTG..

Spoiler

DRAX is meant to be pretty bad ass and on Hulks level if not stronger. This movie made him seem like a bit of a weakling

Spoiler

That hugely depends on what version of Drax you're comparing to. Drax's power was only equal to Hulk when he was in posession of the power gem.

The version used in the movie appears to be the Annihilation version:

Just prior to the 2006 "Annihilation" mini-series and continuing through the present, Drax undergoes a physical change resulting in a much smaller physical form, his superhuman physical powers greatly reduced to a level comparable to those of his original form and the loss of his energy projection & flight capabilities. However, his intellect has returned to its original level, and he has taken a liking to using knives in battle.

Well that explains that. Cheers!!

Really? I found winter soldier kinda hard to get through and I'm a huge super hero fan. Not saying your opinion is wrong but I thought the first Captain America was better than the second.

Only movie to rival latest batman films (from marvel) imo is first spider-man (tobey maguire) and avengers.
