Ok, so playing devil's advocate, what DC movies give you faith that JLA will be better than either of the two movies by the Russos? Because IMO CW and TWS were on a completely different level than either MoS or BvS.Agreed. 👆
Incredibly over rated IMO, average at best. I personally, preferred MoS though.
CW? Don't make me laugh. What was even the point of the movie?
Oh and one more thing about Avengers: Pokémon wars that it's based on Infinity Gauntlet as main source which in itself isn't a very good story. It's good in terms of "cool" character moments but it's main story "Thanos gathers a bunch of Pokémons plot devices and beats up a bunch of heroes again and again" isn't.
Not that Steppenwolf going around gathering Pokémons mother boxes is any better but it at least isn't rereading previous movies like "OMG, Loki has tesserect and chitauri, what are we gonna do", "OMG, Ronan has power gem, what are we gonna do" and "OMG, Malekith has Aether, what are we gonna do".

I second this. WW was okay, but not this giant phenomenon its become. I think its over rated AF.

It's far better than MoS and BvS. IOW, it's actually a decent movie.

If JL does end up being better, will Marvel fans ever be able to admit it?
If both Thor and Avengers:IW end up being better, will you be able to admit it?

The only good movies in MCU are WS and Iron Man and maybe GOTG. The rest are boring formulaic shit. They are just copy/pasting characters from one plot to other.
Really not sure how JL doesn't look formulaic.
Is it the big "shock and surprise" of Superman coming back which makes you think it's going to be so different?

Winter Soldier is better than every DCEU movie. That's an exceptional movie and lightning in bottle though.CW? Don't make me laugh. What was even the point of the movie?
Damn dude, you must be pretty sour to find nothing to like about CW. Yeah, it's not exactly smashing any barriers story telling wise, and the villain was a bit foppish, but the action sequences were amazing, the comedy was on point and the actors all had great chemistry.

lol @ the DCEU not reusing things from previous movies. Just in the new Justice League trailer they are reusing shit from BvS. The part were Aquaman comes falls down through the building and walks towards the camera is exactly like the Doomsdy coming down from the building and walking/sliding towards the camera.
The part were Stepenwolf slams his axe on the ground triggering an AOE blast is exactly like the Doomsday AOE blast from BvS.
Same ol' same ol'
In fact like Ive said in the past all DC villains will be the same. Strong bricks that ends in a 3rd act punchfest that destroys the battlefield/city.
Zod = strong birck, 3rd act punchfest that levels a city.
Doomsday = strong birck that ended in a punchfest that leveled the battlefield.
Steppenwolf = strong brick that will most likely end the same way with Superman and the rest joining in the punchfest that levels the battlefield.
When they have Darseid , Orion, Kalibak, etc, show up, it will be the same shit.

FTFYWonder Woman was better than pretty much every movie in MCU except WS and Iron Man.
It was ok, not great. I enjoyed it for the most part. The best part was WW (as it should be), the 3rd act wasn't good.
Also the Steve Trevor sacrifice was pretty much just like Caps sacrifice in the first Avenger.

Avengers wasn't about Loki getting the Tesseract, it was about a group of egos putting everything aside to come together, because the world needs them. It was about forming a family, however dysfunctional it may be.
Guardians wasn't about Ronan getting the Power gem, it was about a bunch of lonely drifters finding in each other a group to belong to. A different shade from avengers, but still kind of forming a family.
I'll agree with you the villains in the mcu are generally a bit weak, but that's because the focus is on the heroes and their interpersonal relationships.
