“It’s [current year] blazing saddles.”
“It’s Martian manhunter but demon in a bottle”
“It’s Dracula, but from Dracula’s perspective.”
They’re interesting premises and easily understood. I can’t knock smith for choosing them. You never know what’ll end up on the editor’s floor. There might have been a better cut somewhere in there

Hancock was fantastic, fuck the ending being coherent it’s an action comedy

It’s not just the very ending, unless you mean the entire 2nd half… it just felt like there were two entirely different movies made, and they took the first half of one and haphazardly grafted it on to the second half of the other. The tonal whiplash alone was crazy.
I feel like that sort of movie mismatched has happened a lot over the years. I figure that producer meddling or overfitting to test-screening reactions is typically the cause.
