@Pikachulover999 Action without emotional investment is just visual noise. I remember going to see Batman v Superman and being utterly miserable as I watched the Trinity fight Doomsday, because I didn't care if any of them lived or died. Great action is a huge bonus, but the story and the characters have to be your top priority.

It wouldn't be necessary for it to be 4 hours.

(This is coming from someone who enjoyed the Snyder Cut.)

Yeah because Dc and marvel are both amazing and should not be fighting!

@Pikachulover999 I love DC as well, using BvS as an example wasn't an attempt to start a flame war. I could just as easily have used any of the Transformers or Fast and the Furious movies as an example.

Let me put it this way: when Eagly got punched out by the White Dragon in the penultimate episode of Peacemaker, I was more worried about the possibility of him dying than about any of the Trinity getting killed by Doomsday in BvS. James Gunn did a better job of getting me to care about a CGI eagle than Zack Snyder did of getting me to care about Batman, who is my favourite superhero.

What I really took issue with was that you called dialogue-heavy scenes pointless. Those are the scenes where we get to know the characters and form a connection with them, so they're a hell of a lot more important than action scenes. It reminded me of something Kevin Smith said about Superman Lives, the Superman movie he wrote in the 90s that ultimately never got made. He objected to a decision the studio made to get rid of a scene of Superman and Lois on top of Mount Rushmore, as it was the scene that fleshed the characters out the most. The studio said that they didn't care about that, because as far as they were concerned, the purpose of the movie was to sell toys.

Imagine, if you will, sitting through four hours of movie, but just action scenes, sounds horrible

Omg ikr just what i was gonna say. Also can u name any flins that are 4 hours long!?

I looked at the runtime for classic films like Ten Commandments and Gone with the Wind, but they aren’t 4 hours, but close. They also had an intermission. LOL

Are you trying to gain attention or are you very young?

A long movie doesn’t mean it’s good. If they can tell the story in a short time, they will.

@MarvelStarWarss justice league, lord of the rings, I could go on
