Do you prefer Realism?

opcorn:I don't care if it based on realism or what, as long as its a good movie.

To each their own. I do prefer the DCAU Batman, mostly because that kind of gritty camp (for lack of a better word) provides serious stories that don't treat kids like idiots and can generate discussions as well as the Nolan films, and also serve as great escapism. (Plus they actually pronounce Ra's Al-Ghul properly! IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE "REYSH" NOT RAZ! RAZ IS THE MAIN CHARACTER IN PSYCHONAUTS!!!)

Plus, they still manage to talk about pretty adult subjects. "You know... my father used to beat me pretty hard. ... Pops tended to favor the grape, you see." lies the Joker in his """""therapy"""""" with Harleen Quinzel.

I love the DCAU Batman, and many other DCAU characters as well (especially Hawkgirl and Green Lantern <3).

The mediums are very different, though. Batman in the DCAU is the first introduction I had to superheroes back in the 1990's, and I tend to default to him as a comparison to all other depictions of the character. But that Batman is pretty faithful to the comics and is therefore a supergenius with insane amounts of technology that he mostly builds himself, can sneak into anywhere, is a world class martial artist, knows way more about everything than everyone else, fights crime in Gotham during the night, travels in space with the Justice League to fight galactic threats somehow without dying, and still acts as Bruce Wayne during the day. Plus he has an amazing singing voice.

And FREQUENTLY got beaten up in the first season.

Anyway, I'm off to see Thor 2, and seeing as it's a story about a freaking GOD, I hope it's not realistic. ^_^

I prefer fantasy and unrealistic things when I seek entertainment. Speaking of which, just watched Thor at the cinema yesterday. I prefer Marvel because it is less realistic.

If I want realism I watch a documentary. It serves the purpose of me being informed and having some ideas challenged.

Realism is just one of the tools one might use in movies.
If it helps tell a story, then great.
Consider:
- How much fun would Groundhog Day be if Bill died the first time & didn't wake up again to Cher's droning on the radio?
- The movie gravity would've been better if she wore NASA correct underwear (longies & a diaper) in her space suit instead of her ridiculously impractical (but stylish) dainties.

I was thinking it would of been better if she just came out nude.

I like my fantasy as long as the story is coherent. If pigs can fly in one scene they need to be able to fly in all scenes.

But I also like musicals, were people for no reason doing normal stuff, break out into song about it.

Singing in the rain, just signing in the rain.:yes:
