Im no super-DC guy, but thought it was a pretty good show. It was far less confusing than many of their other decisions, and could have opened up a whole new "universe".

I’m not either. Among people that are, especially GL fans, it was polarizing to say the least. Take out the “that’s not canon stuff” and it was still mediocre with a lot of logic holes and generally unlikeable characters. And the one character that’s not a dick gets Tourette-murdered in the first episode.

Skydance should sell DC to Disney because they seem to know how to make comic book movies. It won't happen, but I can always dream.

Correct. The political leanings of the Kents are irrelevant. Them being genuinely good people who raised a young alien boy to fall in love with humanity is the important part.

If Gunn had taken what he had done with Superman, and also done it with: Batman Wonder Woman Flash Green Lantern Nightwing etc etc etc He would still be in charge
Considering he low-key butchered Superman, Thank God Gunn was stopped before he could butcher those other IPs.
Krypto, Joe-El’s message the Justice Gang, social media monkeys in the pocket universe, etc. Project that same slop onto Batman, WW, and other major characters and it would’ve been an even more major disaster.
The only good thing Gunn did was bring back elements of John Williams’ Superman theme.

Disney would make all of the heroes gay.

But that's the thing, Superman isn't just about the American Way. His priority is protecting all of Earth. He's. He is not just a good, heroic version of Homelander where he cares about America first, before anything else.

I never said he can't be conservative. I merely said it's not a requirement of his character.

They would have to retcon the season finale.

They're probably just going to ignore the show happened. Like NAACP watchmen never happened

Different situation. Lindelof said from the beginning of Watchmen that it was a planned mini-series. It wasn't cancelled or not renewed. It was simply written as a mini series in the same way Band of Brothers was.
Lindelof also said he in particular was only doing one season of Lanterns but the other writers wanted to keep going. It would be a cancelled/not renewed show.

I'm saying in the way that nobody thinks of that show as ever existing, it is not in the zeitgeist, it is not Watchmen
This show is not Green Lantern either and nobody will remember it if they just ignored it going forward. No retcon needed

I don't really think that's true. I mean we can say it doesn't exist but it was a highly rated show. Just not on tigerdroppings. I'm not saying i view it as lore though fwiw.

I read a lot of books. Try to do 30+ a year. Watchmen is one of my all time favorite novels, I've read it 3-4 times. The movie is one of my favorite super hero movies ever outside of the cop out ending, but still a very good adaption. The TV show is not trying to adapt the Novel. It's simply a sequel. Wasn't my favorite and I can't see myself watching it again but viewing it simply as a sequel, 34 years later, it's not a bad take on an extended story. Rashida Jones being Dr. Manhattan was an odd call but overall the writing and acting was good. Most people had only seen the movie and it was nothing like the movie so it turned some people off. And turned quite a bit of people on here off because of the Tulsa massacre.

I would have probably disagreed with you up until the finale but that was about as bad as it gets. I can't see them doing another season after that.
Haven't posted in this thread yet but I for one am glad Gunn is out. His silly marvel hunor is played out and has been for a long time.
