Scribbled down notes on Superman/Batman: Apocalypse and Resident Evil: Afterlife
Spoilers for everything, of course.
- Automated surveillance blimps. Yay.
- DCUites all know to run away from their cars when the laser beams hit them. The surviving ones, at least.
- The movie shows Kara's disorientation better than the comics.
- How come Bruce doesn't speak Kryptonian?
- Also, he's such a jealous guy.
- Diana, WTF? That's not what a diplomat does.
- Heh, Bruce and Krypto bonding are cute.
- Kara: Bruce is *all* heart when itcomes to Superman.
- Bruce's "she came to our lives" <3
- A Doomsday army. Overkill much?
- Batman with an axe is stupid. Batman with an axe taunting an army is ridiculous. Also, he's slow-thinking here.
- Batman doesn't *quip*
- Fuck, Clark. And you had _just_ given Kara the "secret identities talk." Barda should just punch your teeth in.
- Most dysfunctional trinity ever.
- Mind-controlled Kara wasn't necessarily wrong.
- It's official, this is the movie of Skeevy Adult Figures.
- Bad intel, Darkseid. Bruce doesn't kill. (Also, what's with humans? From what we have seen, everybody in the DCU is into same-species genocide. E.g., the Thanagarians.)
- Damn it, Clark, stop dumping in Smallville everybody you don't know what to do with. Who's next, Lous?
- Nice moves, Kara. Clark doesn't have that martial arts training.
- It looked like a Dragon Ball Z fight.
- Verdict: the DCU needs better protective childcare, stat.
- Deceptive advertising! The Multiple Alices were killed in mere minutes, and then Alice lost her powers. WTF? Really, WTF?
- Also, the bad guy was the blandest, stupidest Standard Corporate Bad Guy Model B2 ever. What is this, the 80s?
- Also also, you don't splice DNA by eating someone.
- Some good scenes, though: the field of planes, the streaming zombies falling from the roof.
- How did Umbrella manage to keep so many assets post-apocalypse? I mean, the whole financial/legal infrastructure is now (un)dead. Methinks the apocalypse was planned, rather than an accident.
- Verdict: Umbrella is an awesome corporation, but it's run by idiots.
