Well, when done properly, it lends a sense of gravity to the film. Super-bright colors are more tied to TV and children's shows, whereas a more somber tone is pushed by the desaturation. Also, you get better clarity and depth of field when the colors are muted, which can be striking imagery.

But I agree with you on dropping it ASAP- whatever the original intentions, it should have been complementary and barely noticeable, unless you REALLY look for it.
And right now, it's the first thing you look for in a DC movie, which just distracts from everything else.

I found it hilarious that Marvel tweaked DC with the palette; GOTG 2 couldn't have been more vibrant, and it worked
