Well he lies constantly, he’s famous for it. Guardians was great, part 2 was good but he can only write those characters. He’s a one trick pony and after you see it a few times it gets old and he can’t write established iconic characters. He just has zero range.


Hard to disagree with this. I do like all the Guardians, the Suicide Squad, and mostly Superman and Peacemaker.

But he’s got one style of movie making. It resonates with me but he’s one dimensional.

Just off the top of my head..

Man of tomorrow
Supergirl
Brave and the bold
Clayface (the only one on the original schedule)
Lanterns
Booster Gold
Checkmate


There was a new one posted every other day by RLDSC weeks after Superman was release even though he’s playing dumb about it now.

Exactly and like I said when he was hired to run the studio. Maybe he could hire people to make some of the movies that don’t mesh with his style but keep his overall vision for the universe. He should’ve passed Superman on to someone else.

Most of those projects were announced well before Superman and aren't being fast tracked. And I'm not seeing where anything is suddenly being declared as finished.

Supergirl wrapped in May
The Brave and the Bold was announced years ago and isn't close to being fast tracked
Clayface was in pre-production before Superman and filming was pushed back
Lanterns began filming in February and wrapped in July
Booster Gold was announced well before Superman and is "progressing"
Checkmate hasn't even been officially announced and Waller was announced years ago

Your entire premise is that "everything" is being fast tracked and that lead you to draw some conclusions. If nothing appears to be fast tracked, what conclusions would that lead you to?

Yea he announced a ton of shite without any dates attached at the first con he attended as DC head. Thats all been shuffled around multiple times. You’re trying to play gotcha but if you’re going to act as if Gunn didn’t announce a slew of new things right after Superman released you’re just being completely dishonest. Just go check the board history, it’s all here from July and the next month on.

You made a claim that "everything" was being fast tracked to support your premise. When asked what was being fast tracked and announced as completed, you gave a list of things that had already been announced, aren't being fast tracked and haven't been declared finished.

Don't try to play the victim.

Most of the projects that you cited were announced years ago. So just show me the new stuff that's suddenly being fast tracked, that's all I'm asking.

The original announcement that Gunn made was for Creature Commandos, Waller, Superman, Lanterns (although a different title was used), The Authority, Paradise Lose (Themyscira), The Brave and the Bold, Booster Gold, Supergirl and Swamp Thing.

Lol you can keep denying it and I’ll just keep being correct. You want to shutdown actual discussion, that’s fine but it won’t work or change reality.

This is weird. I'm asking you to back up your claim that "everything" is being fast tracked and announced as completed. Nothing you listed fits into either category.

Not sure how asking a pretty direct question is shutting down discussion.

They’ve fast tracked everything post Superman which wasn’t the original plan. We predicted this would happen if Superman flopped. Prior to Superman Gunn promised a slow, methodical pace, not green lighting any project that didn’t have a finished script then all of the sudden post screenings, projects that a week before had no scripts were being announced as finished. At this time you also had Matt Reeves quitting The Batman sequel then all of the sudden after the SM screening he’s back on less than a week later and his sequel is a full go. This shows what we thought, that WB kept that side alive despite Gunn’s wishes in case Gunn flopped and now it’s a race to try and strike gold asap on one of these new projects for Gunn after his first two efforts have failed.


This is just an opinion covered in nonsense. Nothing is being fast tracked, the schedule is mostly running normally and announcements are also normal.

Exactly. He'll never provide proof, he just resorts to name calling.

It’s common knowledge to anyone who was paying attention to Superman in July. It was all over the board everyday. Go look if you’re so curious. Again doing this won’t change anything.

Literally the first thing you did in this thread. You’re one of the people who was posting all the announcements I’m talking about and now you’re lying about it lol. Again your little games won’t change anything.

“You keep saying this stuff without a shred of evidence. Here, I'll do exactly what you're doing. "Gunns universe is off to an amazing start and he's getting a new 10 year contract." I heard about it on the internet so it must be true.”



Wait no longer

You can keep kicking and screaming but it won’t change reality and it won’t scare me off. Crying and throwing fits won’t stop what’s coming.

How is that name calling? I'm not the one calling you a shill. That’s all you resort to when someone doesn't agree with you. It's comical

You accused me of lying when I was referencing things you posted. Stop playing dumb and how many times do you need to be wrong before you stop acting like a child?

Same thing happened when I told you the box office wasn’t gonna hit. You cried and threw a fit then, trying to redefine what a movie making money was. Cut the act, it doesn’t work on me.
