That's about $500 million dollars down the tube on other projects they were planning on financing.


And yet they upped the budget on Justice League and greenlighted two more DCEU films in the movie's aftermath. If there was disappointment in Dawn of Justice's BO returns, they sure as hell aren't showing it.

They were really more fun summer action movies.


Are you referring to X-Men and Spider-Man? Because that's exactly what the MCU movies are. Pure, formulaic, popcorn entertainment.

Not true. They're going to continue making these movies. So that's a plus. Sooner or later they'll get it right.

Another reason I don't see this happening is because I think Mel would want to make an R rated film (which would be awesome, btw).

Yeah, but what movies did they cut to do that? I would be willing to bet the movies they cut would have been better than Justice League would be.

It's the last hurrah, and they have a losing hand, so they're going all in in hopes of it actually working, when really they should have left the table and started from scratch.

But the MCU is incredibly elaborate and structured. I don't think Spider-Man and X-Men had a concrete plan for even a sequel, nevertheless 10 films down the road.

This is like saying a drunk driver will sooner or later start driving straight. No he won't. This is a dumpster fire, and we need to take the drivers out of the front seat and arrest them. We need people of competence, which has seemingly been no one, and anyone of competence is being scared off.

An infinite number of monkeys hammering on an infinite number of typewriters would eventually get you the Bible, but wouldn't it be cheaper to stop buying monkeys and typewriters and start getting qualified writers?
