Do I need to repost the OP in every post or will you finally stop acting like a shill? You think it’s a coincidence this rumor comes out a couple days after Forbes declares Superman a flop? Wake up and grow up.

A shill or a liar. He uses those two. He also down votes all those -1s are him. Lol. That shite don't mean a thing.
Anyway. It's nice to actually discuss shows and topics even when you don't agree.
I'm not a James Gunn shill but i enjoyed GotG and Peacemaker. Yes episode 8 was a let down. But body of work, i enjoy it.
Many of these posters were all in until the nazi stuff then they didn't like seeing their people be the villain of the story and didn't like the show anymore. That nazi episode had the most discussion.
Even though everyone who read a comic expected Earth X.
But regardless of that, I don't trust a YouTube or tik tok source on this. I don't believe Gunn would be replaced without a huge bomb.

I'm gonna wait a bit and then do a re-watch. Maybe I'll end up enjoying it more.

So dishonest, I didn’t jump into your convo jackss, you jumped into mine with false accusations. You people are such hypocrites it’s truly amazing but then again I know what you really are so it shouldn’t surprise.

Coincidence? No.

Blogger ginning up a rumor based on a Forbes article? Likely.

The rumor about paramount has been around a lot longer than today. That guy just added something that’s elementary to the situation. If paramount would buy they would 100% dump Gunn.

This is all nonsense. Paramount is in the process of trying to bring in partners for a higher bid. This may or may not happen. To think they've made a decision on Gunn is ludicrous



IDK, if you're buying an IP like that you better have a good idea on which direction you want to go with it before money changes hands. I'm not saying I 100% buy the rumor, but its also not that farfetched IMO.

Anyone can start a rumor that Gunn is being fired. It's been like this since he took over. The simple fact that the report says Gunn is being fired but DeLuca is taking over tells to everything you need to know about this fake rumor. It's a Snyder nerd spreading nonsense. They think DeLuca is going to bring Snyder back lol.

its been one film

Snyder's universe sucked balls.

WB smartly decided they needed a cohesive plan and was going to give someone that pathway to do it.

If Supergirl bombs, ok.

I really like MOS, but BvS was one of the biggest disappointments. It's weird that a cult has formed over these films but to each their own.

MOS is garbage. Terrible film and showed repeatedly just how little Snyder understood the character.

The Snyder Fanboys are a very very small but extremely vocal group of incels.

Well the one film is typically supposed to be one of DC's pillars.

I think Gunn is a bit overrated, but not a bad director by any means.

Snyder tried to make DC too gritty and that doesn't work as well with guys like Aquaman and Superman (at least on screen) as it does with Batman. If you want to lean into grit, where is Swamp Thing?

I think a lot of nerd culture around big IPs has this thing going on where they feel like they need to do the opposite of whatever the critics are saying because the critics try to sell slop as incredible art all the time. So when critics say something isn't good, some of the more nerd/incel types like it almost out of spite or something.
