If you think it's reasonable for the president of the United States to call up his generals and rage-scream "KILL THEM ALL," then ... your definition of "reasonable" is significantly different from mine, even under the circumstances.
I wish Marvel had done a "Vision & Scarlet Witch" movie before "Infinity War" ... would've made their roles in "Infinity War" much more meaningful. Also I love how weird they are together.
I want to be excited for an Ava DuVernay New Gods movie but it already starts with a major handicap since Justice League pissed away the concept of Mother Box as a dumb evil macguffin. Like how do you not make it a cool living smartphone that takes care of you?!?
@AaronSmarter Jack Kirby's New Gods is one of my favorite comic series of all time and I am both excited for Ava to bring it to the screen and at the same time sad that it has to be part of *this* DC Extended Universe or whatever they are calling it
@cgtzeno Yes! In Kirby's comics there is always the insistence that Mother Box is "alive" and I think he meant it in this mystical, religious way — like she had a soul or a life force and was mythologically more than machinery. Animated by something spiritual.
The Mother Box iPhone cases merchandising tie-in ALONE should have been enough for some DC movie executive to put their foot down and suggest maybe Mother Box should be more faithful to the Kirby comics
If you are unable to capitalize on the obvious commentary of a sentient living smartphone who takes care of you, as a central theme in the mythology of NEW GODS OF TECHNOLOGY then what are you even doing touching Kirby's creations in the 21st century
