Gunn overruled Gillespie constantly, apparently.

For example, Gillespie wanted needle drop to be Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, the original by Lauper.

That alone would have DRAMATICALLY improved the last scene.

The Middle cover was boring and too calm for the action that was happening.

Sorry just saw this was being covered.

None of the test screenings broke the low 70's

But it's online neckbeard influencer's fault the movie tanked.

Gunn is a gone pecan. Those two releases have zero percent chance of saving him.

No doubt. There's no hype right now but if it's good, word will spread. There wasn't much hype for Penguin either, but word of mouth spread quickly after the first episode.

John Stewart stealing the ring and using it is not the best start

Even the most casual GL fan will tell you that isn't how it works

Has to be given to be used

Yeah the ring has to choose you.
Only yellow and red rings can be stolen and used. But that's deep comic nerd stuff

Awwww man really?

Not sure I even want to watch it now.

ETA: NVM I see that's based on trailers. Hopefully that's not what they do.

The person complaining about that was a pretty woke comic fan, and of all my friends is the BIGGEST GL nerd

He said it is clear from a trailer

He could be trying to trick me into watching the trailer, though. fricker

Lore means nothing in this universe, Gunn has even said lore is stupid. One of the Lanterns has his suit hanging in a closet for goodness sake.

FWIW I finally got around to watching The Penguin and it was very good.

The woman who wrote that should have been given the chance to write Supergirl if they insisted on a woman being the writer.

Sorry, didn't see this.

I just rewatched said trailer to make sure. That is not clear.

Then they would not be able to prop up a talentless hack and then just claim toxic masculinity for why her work is seen as shite.

Hollywood is not a meritocracy and everyone knows it.
