DC Comics Multimedia General - A crisis of infinite fuck ups

Maybe his bogged wife wont let him cast any actresses in lead roles that she thinks are "prettier" than her? Could explain mid-Lois and troll-esque supergirl.

My guess is that Hollywood asked him to put more girlbosses if he wanted a career after his tweets came to light

Incidentally I went ahead to confirm it and I found Gunn actually wrote this post :"The 50 Superheroes You Most Want to Have Sex With: 2nd Annual Poll results."

He used to be so unhinged he actually put most of "the chuds" and critics like Nerdrotic to shame. Or even many of us.

It's impossible not to see Supergirl as either being forced to it like you said or a shallow attempt to save his reputation after those tweets by going with a homely girl boss approach.

One of the few things I did like about MAWS is he wasn't invincible.

This is the power level I like to see Superman at.

Not exactly the account your child should check out in order to get the news on the latest movies.

Perhaps but it was well received.

Made less than the previous one with a higher budget.

There seems to be an unspoken rule that only women are allowed to write and direct female lead superhero movies. I haven't bothered to check the exceptions, but I can't help but notice leads seem to immediately give them up and delegate them to women. Like a hot potatoe.

I suspect they do it because of Hollywood politics. Would look bad if the "empowering" female character movie was made by a guy.

While I do get it's a hard position to be in, I don't get why they keep hiring women that just aren't qualified for it. Surely even Lauren Faust would had been a better choose for a writer.

Battle Angel (who may or may not have a name, not unlike how John Carter may or may not have a planet) was the Spy Kids guy, Gally is at least 70% cape

Both the Elektra and Catwoman movies were written and directed by men. Granted that was back before superhero movies became very popular and neither were well-received.

Like I said I didn't bother to check the exceptions because it was as a broad generalisation to make another point entirely.

I am not playing the trivia game, but rather pointing out that modern day politics seem to be forcing their hands. If anything Elektra and Catwoman confirm my point because Elektra and Catwoman both predate the current political environment.

The point is that I suspect they are avoiding having men do female superheroes because it looks bad in the current year not that men have never done female super heroes movies ever.

Supergirl proved superhero fatigue isn’t real by being something cool and original.

The film isn't remotely original just random scenes from other movies cut together while an ugly "actress" mugs at the camera subhumanly with shitty songs from james gunns spotify playlist old ipod in the background.

Good enough if you consider people being burned out by the MCU. Not perfect but still successful and liked.

Was it successful though? Did the audience watch it? Shouldn't we be the ones to decide this?

 

[Godzilla@1989]

I honestly can’t see Gunn going back to Marvel as well since Bob Iger is gone. I don’t know much about Disney’s new CEO, but I highly doubt Gunn want to go back to Disney after the shitshow of his initial firing.

The Wrap article also mentioned that Gunn has no plan the DCU. Gunn fucked up by picking niche characters nobody wants and he chose a character that was also coming off of a piece of shit show on CW. Say what you want about DCEU/SynderVerse, at least there was somewhat of a plan before they fucked up.

It’s really telling that the anonymous agent on the Wrap article stated that he believes Paramount/Ellison will fire Gunn.

Visually yes.
Plot wise... It's superman and Supergirl plot.
Rescuing the pet. Just like that one resident evil movie and alien vs predator 2. Same plot. Same director.

Not many talk about them (gotg2/3)unless they're forced to defend Gunn. 1 worked because it was different. 2 and 3 were weaker and suffer the same fate Thor did. Do something new and unique, forget what made it special, assume everyone liked the quirkiness (side quest. the whole movie was a sidequest that's why it worked) and then they turned that side quest into a dlc for a main story quest and fucked the whole thing up. Gotg2/3 made Gunn feel like he's some music aficionados. Lol.

Lanterns is up next. If it fumbles the bag (big chance w/ Lindelol at the helm).

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

We're also more able to take criticism. If someone tells me Snyder uses too much blue in his palette and his films need more lighter moments, I will say: "Yes." I still like a lot about them though. And when the fucking Harley Quinn cartoon in all its obnoxiousness tried to directly mock Snyder fans,

the response was largely amicable amusement.

I miss Zack Snyder, When Zack Snyder made a movie, it was at least interesting. He could make a disaster and at least it was fun to talk about it.

 

[God of Nothing]

he certainly made disasters

I feel this classic remains relevant:

Geek culture journalists and DC Comics writers are openly trying to bury the story of Andrew Farago being arrested for admitting to filming children in the bathroom. What a shock that Anthony Gramuglia was streaming with Andrew Farago a week before he was arrested. He is butt buddies with other breadtubers besides Anthony Gramuglia.
