James Gunn is so smug that he thinks he can squeeze a super fricken dog into the movie without it affecting the tone. He's in for a shock.
This movie looks atrocious.
It's a fricking super dog, people. Are you all high?
shareIf "the tone" is the trend in superhero movies of the last few decades to make the protagonist dark, miserable, and psychologically fucked up, then I hope the presence of the dog affects it in a big way.
shareWithout the dog I'd almost certainly have watched this film alone. Instead, my wife and two young sons are now excitedly awaiting opening night. I think this is the norm, and the reason family-friendly films do so well at the box office.
If Man of Steel, or any of the Snyder Superman films were coming out this year, I would not be able to bring my sons to see them, and that should not be the case. Superman is probably the most kid-friendly superhero in existence, something Warner Bros. somehow failed to take into account, which is why the lost so much money on those films.
Krypto will probably die saving everyone, but since he's extraterrestrial he'll have special abilities and be reborn as Puppy Krypto.
