Justice League Bad

The new Justice League movie is an extended metaphor for why it's a bad idea to make a Justice League movie. Also don't watch this if you're Joss Whedon.

One of the biggest issues in my eyes around Superman feeling so wrong is that he appreciates earth and humanity the way an alien who sat back and studied it would, and not like someone who has not only lived there, but it’s the only thing he knew for 99% of his life. Clark should be a guy from Kansas who just so happens to be an alien, not an alien that just so happens to be from Kansas.

[@sideways5153]

If a disabled or neurodivergent person was directing a similar Superman story it might have come out nuanced and interesting, considering the brief but relevant depiction of Superman’s powers causing him actual distress as they developed during his childhood. Like, Zack Snyder’s Clark Kent would have been shunted into the Special Ed program if he actually had outbursts like the one they show in Man of Steel. So many interesting directions that experience could take a character in, many of which would have more organically introduced a tension between Superman as an othered alien and Clark Kent as just a guy from Kansas

My sister and I both started laughing when we heard that line because it's just so silly but when we googled to see if anyone else were talking about it we just found some nerds discussing whether superman actually is stronger than a planet and we were totally dumbfounded because... you can't compare a being to a planet like that, what are the metrics???

[@timothyguy6973]

The big elephant in the room is that according to the story arch. superman has only been around as superman for like 2 years. Half the people don't even like him according to BvS. So how could he be the fabric that holds humanity together? when he only showed up long enough to destroy half of metropolis with the bad guys and then die a few months later? Why would steppenwolf wait till the kryptonian was dead... He had only been around for like 24 months maybe... Because of the idiotic plot line of this whole series these movies are doomed for stupidity. You cant write story elements like superman has been around for 25 years saving people and at the same time only have him around for a short time. You cant have Batman be an old man and have cops act like they've never seen him before like its batman begins. You cant have Superman going after batman when he would know that Batman is working with Gotham police for like 20 years and they even have a bat signal in the sky. Its absolutely a completely screwed up mess of utter garbage.

[@popmonika]

Timothy Guy a good writing could have made it work. For example until superman turned up darkseid never saw earth as important l, indeed he saw it as technogically backwards and not worth the effort. Then suddenly because we of Superman and his battle with the Kryptonians, the earth military decides to upgrade its military to an extent where it is able to advance technogically in decades in just a few years (thanks mainly to the found kryptonian ship) seeing this darkseid sees earth from a primitive people to one who is capable of conquering his world. No t exactly comic based but at least there would be motivation and a theme to explore.

I actually didn't notice it at all, which either means they succeeded or I'm just jaded to Henry Cavill's face looking subtly inhuman

[@fritzerland2210]

It's like you said, the Invisible Woman wig of this movie.

[@roguishpaladin]

Wait, so they really DID have to CGI his upper lip to smile? X3

[@NIneDJcali]

Tbh I didn't even notice it either......Even so, it's not a big deal......

[@YUCare-xt4wo]

Red Letter Media talks about it.

[@LAVATORR]

Bitter, angry Jennifer is the best Jennifer. It's like multiple times during this video she was breaking character and quaking with visible frustration at how impossibly shitty this movie was.

[@fuckenps3]

Breaking what character? She immediately gave up pretending to like it about 3 seconds in.

[@LAVATORR]

nd4spd Usually her delivery style is deliberately aloof, detatched, understated, dry. That's her "character", so when you see her get visibly frustrated, angry, or amused, it becomes that much funnier because you know it takes a lot to rile her up.

[@fuckenps3]

I see. Disagree that there is a 'character'.

[@LAVATORR]

nd4spd Well keep in mind that when I say "character", I'm not implying she's being phony or putting on a pretense or whatever. I don't know Jenny, but I wouldn't be surprised if she's like this in real life too. When I say "character", I'm really referring to the overall combination of delivery, tone, and general "vibe" you get from her videos. It's sort of like how your favorite stand-up comedian is, in a sense, playing a "character" when they're onstage, even if the material is a reflection of who they are as a person.

[@Mentocthemindtaker]

*nd4spd* Bullshit. The only people who don't have a 'character' are sociopathic CEOs. And by that I mean _every_ CEO. And children, who I like to refer to as "those adorable little sociopaths".

[@benjammin1304]

Almost five years later and "it's just my face" still just fucking kills me

[@alicethompson6442]

Hearing Jenny call the people of Atlantis "Aquamensians" and "Aquamens" is one of the cutest things I have seen all day that is now what they must be called in all DC media

[@crhu319]

On it. Aquamens!!

[@davedogge2280]

the lasso of truth would just give confusing results with all this sarcasm in this analysis.

[@lyricbot8513]

Dave Dogge I am REVIEWER

[@kylemagaro231]

Does sarcasm work on the lasso? Cause that's bullshit. If you can be sarcastic then just stay sarcastic.

[@deffdefying4803]

I would absolutely love it if at one point someone gets wrapped in the lasso and just says the whole truth but in like a scathing sarcastic tone so it's unclear whether they're actually telling the truth or not

[@crhu319]

All this video needs is a gold skipping rope tied around a DVD copy of JL.

[@thetramp123]

Jenny used painter's tape as a reference to WB using tape to try and piece together their disheveled mess of a movie.

[@dantuga5412]

thetramp123 looks as good as the costume did in BVS.

[@BottoEntertainment]

I remember seeing this review seven years ago. I will always remember your hysterical quote: "I guess I do bleed! Wocka, wocka!"

[@LoadPast]

Justice League would have been better if their costumes had been fashioned out of painters tape imo.

[@55ibman]

The sweatshirt I’m almost positive was a symbol for him being uncomfortable with what he is and throughout the movie Wonder Woman made him feel better

[@NinjaBear567]

Ian Ballesteros exactly. It was really obvious.

[@kkelv]

Ian Ballesteros Yeah, she was just being hypercritical on a lot of things.

[@dio_tr970]

The Bat Man BAD, The Fish Man BAD, The Robot Man BAD, The Fast Man BAD, The Flying Man BAD, The Strong Woman actually pretty good. - A Summary of DC Movies

[@NealFowler]

"What is this movie about?" Nothing. it's about limping to the finish line with only one good limb (Wonder Woman) and realizing that one good part really doesn't need all this dead weight to thrive.

[@approachingetterath9959]

i would love for a superhero movie that focuses on civilians that have to deal with the destruction of their homes and death of loved ones and random people because these fights pulverize a lot of buildings, and it's shot like an intense war drama or alien invasion movie

[@eaches]

This girl... She gets it.

[@MeanMFA]

You are gross.

[@eaches]

Wow. By "gets" I meant "understands". Damn.

[@eaches]

Unless you were replying to the other comment. If so, I apologize. I find Jenny's posts very intelligent and amusing. If people misinterpret my initial comment, I'll delete it.

[@MeanMFA]

Kevin W. Eaches Yeah, I was replying to the other guy. Your comment was fine. Don't know why the respond-button is acting up for me, but in either case, I'm sorry for the confusion.

[@MeanMFA]

rick mcmillan Yeah, you really are.

[@imura11]

The Green Lanterns should have taken a motherbox. makes sense sets up Green Lantern Corps movie nicely. but...nothing beats impenetrable soil....

[@espurious]

Quiet you, with your logic and reasoning. We'll have none of that here!

[@dayoolaleye1265]

Guang Huang or the Old Gods who had to come in and intervene could have destroyed the Boxes and taken them to Mount Olympus

[@parisolivarious]

"it's like when you take a spider outside... in a tupperware.." lmfao

[@thetwistvillain]

"you're gonna cheat on your movie like you cheat on your wife" HOLY SHIT

[@BowlingBoltFan]

7:04 This is about when I nearly spit my drink out on the screen laughing.

[@MMd525]

I have the same banana sheets! Love your videos, matching sheets makes me like you even more :)

[@kvltslime2261]

"I laughed out loud at a couple of his lines" That was me in theaters during Suicide Squad when Harley Quinn said you hurt MY FRIIIIENDS!!!!

[@tormuse2916]

8:21 Oof, that's a good point. Considering how supposedly important Superman's mom was to him in the previous movie, (save Martha!) it's kind of sad that he just... doesn't care about her now.

[@paulonhisphone]

that joss whedon joke was fucking savage i love it

[@jsizzlemackashizzle8944]

Her sense of humor is great

[@rickandrygel913]

I feel like her talking about the boxes is a metaphor for the movie...

[@2nd3rd1st]

Seriously, that motherbox analogy at the end is the most brilliant examination of the DCFU out of all of the DCFU criticism online. I'm honestly mindblown.

[@JonnaDogers]

am i the only one who noticed how weird ezra miller runs

[@kylefrank638]

Yeah... He had lightning bolts streaking off of him or something, and they pasted him into the CGI environments so that he looks like he's traveling too fast... Weird.

[@CamoonZB]

I’m pretty sure it was a reference to the ice skating thing he said earlier in the movie

[@ricowillow2281]

Enchanted Little Me he ran like a 5yr old girl and thats putting it in a good way. i hated his character, i find him too over the top and annoying

[@take2productions570]

No he runs so wierd

[@Serprizebuttsecks]

No lots of people have brought up the fact they've got someone who doesnt know how to run properly play the flash 😂😂😂

[@chowboy22]

Throwing shade at Joss Whedon...nice!

[@Cuttersway]

I’d be bothered, except I’ve always felt Joss Whedon was massively overrated.. Either way, Justice League looks total balls. I just watched Last Jedi a seventh time instead. Made me happy. :)

[@crocodileguy4319]

WB are to blame for justice league sucking, not joss whedon. They did not give him any creative freedom so what you see on screen was Warner bros screwing the movie up.

[@pookiepook7351]

Joss Whedon doesn't deserve shade. He tried to turn Snyder's shit pile into gold.....like alchemy.....an impossible mission.

[@comicsgeek3729]

Should've been Snyder she threw some shade at.

[@Ttoby89]

Joss Whedon does deserve shade (from lifelong fans like me , as well as everyone else) but not for this particular garbage-fire. This smells of DCEU executive nonsense, and it's really ruining my life right now. So stanky.

[@bepkororoti8019]

I just realized something: Lois and Clark... Lewis and Clarke???

[@bennyton2560]

explain?

[@iwritechecksatthegrocerystore]

I think you’re the first person I’ve actually heard make a reference to joss whedons wife cheating ways

[@LnPPersonified]

Wait, so...a super powerful alien comes to earth to find a magic box, and a collection of superpowered people have to learn to work together as a team to stop him? GEE I WONDER WHERE WE'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE

[@writingref]

Pokerface exactly. But if this movie had come first ten years ago we would has really been blown away.

[@megamonmon]

Travis Hightower 10 years ago we would have just gotten X3 and Spiderman 3 so that's not a high bar to cross

[@Lemons28KZ]

Nunya Bidness They didn't have to do that particular story. They have plenty of stories to choose from to have as their starting point. I personally think it would've been really cool if they each had gotten a solo film and in JL, the villians from each movie came together to form a group reminiscent of the Light from Young Justice. That way, it's original, it would flesh out all the characters (including the villians, which Marvel has really only done for Loki and the Vulture) really well, and each member of the JL would've had a really good reason for being there.

[@larryheights8553]

that's exactly what I had in mind for JL

[@imkluu]

The origin of the JL in the comics is them forming to deal with an alien invasion. It is trying to be true to the comics, tho it wan'st Steppin wolf. But htey wanted to have alead in to a larger menace which is Darkseid. It is actually the Avengers who more or less took the JL's origin and copied it. The Avengers did coem together to deal with Loki but there was no aliens in volved in their origin.

[@jonathann2116]

Love the lowkey humour in her videos

[@thomasjenkins7506]

it's a shame so many people missed the humor in the last video.

[@Dynda2015]

Deadpan humor

[@edocsil3774]

"are you gonna cheat on your movies like you cheat on your wife" yeah so subtle and lowkey, hard to tell when she's joking sometimes

[@illdie314]

Edoc Sil exactly what I was gonna say

[@0Fyrebrand0]

Right from the first second: "So, I saw Justice League. I actually liked it. I was pleasantly surprised-*I'M JUST KIDDING.* "

[@karldomogalla2058]

The problem with this Superman is that he is joyless and just fights tornadoes instead of big robots.

[@indigocarra2762]

Powerful boxes? Oh, you mean infinity stones.

[@deffdefying4803]

No the Infinity Stones are powerful marbles Important distinction, very different.

[@taylorthebnnuy]

the elements of harmony?

[@albertskoften1452]

Special Rocks

[@crhu319]

Yeah they took the truly cool Mother Box concept and dumbed it down into Marvels bad ripoff of the emotional spectrum of the Power Lanterns.

[@connorwelton7723]

Her dead pan humor is funny but brutal, crushing critiques of shitty movies in the same dead pan voice is fucking hilarious.

[@Heart_ken01]

No one is going to explain how Clark Kent is living a simple life. The dude died coincidentally when "Superman" died and came back to life at the same time. NO ONE PUT THAT TWO TOGETHER!!!!

[@rocketcon]

It seems that DC has completely forgotten that their heroes identities are supposed to be secret. Bruce would never allow evidence that he is Batman to float around on the Internet for Cyborg to stumble across.

[@mattstanislen3165]

dude, you're talking about a franchise where literally glasses and a little hair gel safeguards a secret identity.

[@themignon55]

Well Lois Lane figured out Clark Kent was Superman in 30 minutes, Lex Luther knew as well but Batman the greatest detective ever and is clueless the entire movie....DC makes crap movie

[@scottdraper1244]

Yeah, but Clark wears glasses.

[@robertm5855]

Are you surprised? It's DC. Dumb Content

[@oskeewootwoot]

"Hey what's with that guy with the glowing eyes and chest?" "Idunno, he's wearing a hoodie, he's just some guy I guess."

[@GarveyToure]

I'm sorry. Did she just say are u gonna cheat on your movies like you cheat on your wife

[@chrissandoval7675]

i've heard a lot of mixed reviews about this film, but this was just the most brutal take down i've heard. i'm sure screen junkies pays better but i'd love to see a crossover with you red letter media.

[@MegaTeeruk]

Someone get Joss to a burn unit.

[@darianmccants]

Brandon May lol

[@mickieg1118]

the analogy of the boxes actually being about the superheroes is pure genius.

[@IcarusGravitas]

Calling out Joss Whedon long before it was cool, nice!! That final metaphor made he so happy!

[@suavevalen]

Lol at the Joss Wheden line. Hilarious.

[@SayHelloHelli]

OMG i had the same reaction the the flash wonder woman boob thing. i was like "this was for sure a whedon insert. dude is self cannibalizing his old movies now. laaaazy"

[@yosoyysoyyo]

Can't they just make another good animated series like they did before? They don't have to keep doing this all the time

[@kevinphiggins]

It’s fun watching the Snyder Cut now and seeing how many of these problems were Joss Whedon’s fault

[@bennyton2560]

this gives me hope

[@pebblessyou]

Or Snyder made some big changes after seeing this video

[@murphy7801]

I mean Synder cut, just has different problems. It's just as boring.

[@2im36]

snyder cut was just as bad

[@kevinphiggins]

@@2im36 I don’t think you’ll find a lot of support for that position, even if they hated both versions most people agree that the Snyder cut is a stronger final product
