The people already claiming that the Russos stole Zack's original ideas for Justice League, are now claiming that they also stole the look of Thanos from Snyder's Darkseid because of that concept art that he showed yesterday.

They are really gonna keep going with this shit.

@Kurne - "Zack Snyder invented time travel with superheroes"
-some dipsh*t on Twitter, probably.

and even if you entertain the idea of the Russos "stealing" from Snyder, it doesn't make sense. the time travel theory in Endgame is the exact opposite of the one in JL.

@Kurne - I wouldn't call it a far-fetched idea. One could make the argument that the Russo's stole Snyder's idea for BvS and applied it to Civil War. Here is what we know about the two movies. The Russo's knew that they were going to do a Cap 3, but to their own admission, the movie was originally going to solely focus on Cap finding Bucky and encountering resistance along the way. Then Snyder announced BvS and the Russo's admitted that they altered their plans for Cap 3 upon learning about BvS. BvS had finished filming way before Civil War but was shelved for a year due to studio interference. When the movies came out, what we got was (in principle) the exact same movie with different executions. Both movies had a non powered villain who had a huge disdain for super heros and manipulated a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist (Stark/Wayne) into fighting the super heros. The convoluted plans for both Luther and Zemo relied on 100% accuracy to be a success and the movies also shoehorned in other characters (Wonder Woman, Spiderman, Black Panther) in an effort to promote their future solo movies. You could call it a coincidence, but during the Marvel/DC wars, you could always tell that there was bad blood and competition between the rivals. For the past few years, less than a week after DC would release a trailer or footage for an upcoming movie, Marvel would release material of its own to take the steam away. With Captain Marvel, the MCU tried to double down on the girl power themes present in Wonder Woman, but it ended up alienating fans despite being a financial success. So yes, its plausible that the Russo's stole, borrowed or made someone elses idea their own.

@SnyderRulesAll - and considering how much studios try NOT to have one mimic another due to audience's feeling it is exactly that, similar to changes in Dark Phoenix vs CM, etc... why would a studio take a tentpole movie and purposely make it a copy of another movie by a competing studio? Sorry, not buying it. The fact is these stories are simply similar, just like they are in the comics... it has happened time and time again in the comics. And frankly, Flash's use of time travel is cheap in comparison to what the Russo brothers did. Flash is simply going back for a quick undo when things go wrong.

@SnyderRulesAll -
"One could make the argument that the Russo's stole Snyder's idea for BvS and applied it to Civil War."

not when Civil War is a +10 years old story in the comics.

"you could always tell that there was bad blood and competition between the rivals."

not really. this is mostly fanboy conjecture at best. you need people to have "bad blood" with others, companies are not people.

"With Captain Marvel, the MCU tried to double down on the girl power themes present in Wonder Woman, but it ended up alienating fans despite being a financial success."

uhhm...excuse me? how do you alienate audiences AND make a billion in the process? this narrative that Captain Marvel somehow alienated audiences has been disproven already. again, this is only a vocal minority of fanboys in the internet crying over an actress that "said mean things to me", regardless of the movie's merits. audinces certainly didn't feel "alienated". if some people didn't like it, well, that's fair. but it wasn't this big flop with audiences some try to make it look.

if you're gonna post dumb sh*t like this, at least be aware it's dumb sh*t and don't try to pass it off as facts.

@Kurne - Everything you wrote is true. But, in fairness, Jim Starlin kinda ripped off Thanos from Kirby's Darkseid.

OT : But I kind of think Russo's took a dig at Singer/Foxmen with that Hulk line in Endgame where he says that changing our past doesn't change our present but our past becomes our new present.

Given the fact that's what happened in DOFP, which is by far the best Fox-Men movie, but I also felt it was a very quick and cheap resolution to the Sentinel conflict.

@DwightKGroot - I dunno, I think it was just them trying to establish their rules of time travel and differentiate it from Back to the Future (i.e. the Official Standard Model of Fictional Time Travel or OSMFTT®).

@DwightKGroot - The rules of time travel never makes sense. The MCU's all a mess now because of Endgame. The directors and writers can't even agree on what happened to Cap or the multiverse. I'm pretty sure Endgame is prob the final film to follow the rules of "continuity".

Their attitudes have all been like "well it's up to the next writers to pick it up. I have no clue."

@mastakilla39 - does it really matter? I don’t think marvel is gonna touch time travel again for a while anyway so it doesn’t really matter about the rules going forward what’s done is done
