Was dynamite for the chase scene in Who’s Harry Crumb

Plus, no one involved is really complaining


Well the women certainly aren’t complaining about the deal and if the men did, they would be cancelled.

Gunn's Superman


It was campy and it shite all over the mythos of Superman. David Corenswet could be a really good Superman but not in this current universe. Superman movies should have a cultural impact. That was a forgettable film.

I don’t think Gunn will get the chance to do the same thing to Batman and WW.

Welcome to sports.

It's not going to be a financial disaster. Nolan's name alone will drag it past the threshold for profitability. It just won't be the mega-hit it could have been.


This. They’ll leave a lot of money on the table but it won’t be a “Go woke, get broke” situation.
quote:

Who wanted this movie?


James Gunn. That’s it
I remember it and it was a really cool scene.

Of course sportstalk shows that week were full of callers saying it was rigged.
Everyone knew a year ago this movie would be dogshit. The Gunn DCU is practically dead at this point. Nobody’s clamoring for more after a very meh Superman movie and now this.

Do we really want to waste Batman and Wonder Woman on this clown?
Can you imagine how different life in this country would be if he had found a way to win that election? Forget about the screwed up corruption that would’ve happened under him, but Florida wouldn’t have led the nation out of Covid like it did under DeSantis. Lockdowns would’ve gone on for another year or two.

They really want everyone to think its like To Kill A Mockingbird out there and she’s going to get arrested for trying to bust up a chifferobe.

Freebird is the new national anthem


Hell Yeah it is
quote:

Black delusion is so interesting.


It gets to a point where they almost refer to their blackness as if it’s a superpower or some sort of mystic magical power.
I think Gunn is out after Man of Tomorrow…which will be just like Superman in that it’s a modest success but nowhere near where it should be.

They won’t let him touch Batman or even Wonder Woman and waste more of their time & money.
Fixed it…

Some industry insiders who spoke to TheWrap say the problems run deeper than one underperforming film. “All this is, is a Gunn and Safran production deal,” one DC insider said of DC Films’ current trajectory. “It’s not a brand. Announcing a universe was dumb. DC created an expectation and now you have delivered one meh Superman movie.”


Gunn is the problem. His style and ego is a terrible fit for all of this. This universe is doomed until he is completely out of the picture.
WW1 was the weakest one but overall I thought it was a really good show. Definitely felt like an ode to History of the World Part 1.

It better pay off at some point, otherwise it was tinkering with the ethos for no reason.


There’s no payoff unfortunately. I guess the payoff is Superman is just good because of himself…which was always the case anyway.
