I'm not much caring about it either way because Gunn's version of DC absolutely sucks. Maybe I'm a Snyder bro but I preferred his semi-mythical "Gods among men" approach to the universe over Gunn's MCU-lite.

DCU with the explosive diarrhea shits for movies and yet many on this board will still defend it

Edit: the usual DC defenders on page 1 like they got a notification for DCU being trashed on MTV

Yeah I'm not sure if this news is true or not but Cosmic Book News is literally a click bait site. Wait for some actual legit site to post about this first

I know I'm in the minority, but all the DC and Marvel stuff.....yawn.
I just never really liked or cared for any of it. The early Iron Man I liked.

So my middle school daughter wanted to watch all the Tom Holland Spidermans. So we got to the 3rd one and she said, "You know they are all kind of the same."
I said yep. That kinda turned her off to them because we were supposed to go watch the last in the theater and she never pushed to go see it after that.

I'm not a fan of Gunn's approach but I wasn't a huge fan of Batman v Superman... I think Snyder's approach got off on the wrong foot.

That said, there were a couple of casting choices that was going to doom the DCU regardless - namely Ezra Miller as The Flash and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. Ezra was 100% wrong, while Gadot had the physical tools (stunning, tall, etc.), her acting range was non-existent. None of Snyder's movies were "great", they were just better than what we got later so now we think of them as better than they were.

Another big issue was the fact that, unlike the MCU, DC/WB was in a rush to get their team-up movie. Marvel had two Iron Man movies, a Hulk movie, a Captain America movie, a Thor movie, plus some web shorts, all to build up to the first Avengers movie. DC gave two characters solo movies (Superman and Wonder Woman), had Batman's only big screen appearance share screentime with Superman (and a bit of Wonder Woman), and completely ignored the other members of the JL to set them up.

Cyborg especially needed an origin movie. That was a huge miss.

She's a horrid actress... her frickability doesn't make her line delivery any better.

Sydney Sweeny absolutely destroys her in acting ability. Give her some tall heels and cast her as Wonder Woman.

Her body in that costume would be a license to print money.

I watched it on HBO. It was....ok. The tone was weird and goofy for Superman IMO but I'm hardly the target audience.

But Supes is a distinctly American myth, for a time and place where American was a thing. For a more global American audience, and certainly a global market, Superman just doesn't resonate with the populace any longer. It's just not as valuable a property as it was 50 years ago. Stop making these. The market isn't there.


That’s why Captain America completely failed as a character along with all his movies

This was the fatal flaw. They didn’t establish Batman or give Superman a movie or two to get his footing. BvS was an ok movie (the Batman warehouse scene might be the GOAT Batman scene) but it missed the mark.

They tried too hard to catch Marvel when they should’ve taken their time.
