  • James Gunn has returned to answering DC fans questions on social media, but in doing so, he has confused us even more. ames Gunn had taken a break from answering fans questions on social media whilst the strikes were on going but as the strikes are ending, he has returned to instagram threads to talk to fans. But once again I don’t really think he has helped himself and today we will find out why.

      Its because he got the faceplant of failures from those movies that he is too scared to call them his own. Imagine if they have been successful films, we will see him bragging nonstop due to his involvement making them successful. And i am speaking of the last 4 films from the DCEU.

  • @Joshuadmathews
    @Joshuadmathews Před 8 měsíci +2

    I think "time" is the best medicine here. Because of the major flops of current DC films I don't really think people are "counting" them as being a part of anything versus just films connected under Hamada's vision (had they just released these films instead of pin the tale on the release date schedule there could have been more money --- but they waited forever to release them and this is the effect). Instead, its been a pretty long time since Joss Weadon's JL film -- as I'm sure only real DCEU fans are really aware of the Snyder Cut. Therefore, a new start after a pause probably is the best way to go about this IF they are not connecting these films to Black Adam/Flash ect. DC also has a chance to one up Marvel. While DC revs up for a reboot, Marvel fatigue has set in and most of the quality behind Marvel content, post Endgame/Now Way Home, has been lackluster. This means that SupLegacy has a real chance to set up a strong alternative. Its always been a pendulum when it comes to Marvel fandom/ DC fandom.
    HOWEVER going about this reboot the smart way is going to be key. I'm not an exec so I don't have the golden answer, but by this point, BECAUSE OF TIME, probably a solid reboot is needed. Cena was great as Peacemaker but if it comes to saving the DCU and him, then he's gotta go. Same with Waller. However, this is the DC Universe, and as Flash has shown, DC is big on parallels earths. So I think Exiting ALL the DCEU actors might not be the best route, as they already are DC fans. I can see Cavill and Gal's Superman and Wonder Woman coming from a Kingdom Come universe and being the Kingdom Come versions of those characters. DC has a tone of Superman meets Superman storylines althroughout the cannon and usually they're pretty great stories --- like during Infite Crisis when E2 Superman showed up. OR go the alternate route and make Cavil,Gal,Affleck the evil E3 versions of their characters and have them come from the Nightmare Verse of the Snyderverse --- maybe the fact that Flash never returned to the Snyderverse (and ending up in the Clooney-verse) created a ripple-effect that created an evil Justice League --- I mean Snyder's world was always kind of cut from the same cloth as the Watchmen stuff, so it makes sense that in the multiverse of things an evil version of their Justice League exists. Which is to say, you don't have "Scrap" those actors BECAUSE of the DC Multiverse, HOWEVER, you probably need new and fresh blood in those characters to represents the NEW DC Universe.
    I think Gunn would be smart to do something that fans have wanted for awhile and that basically is the live action version of the Bruce Timm DC Animated Universe. Gunn should totally pull from comic book storylines such as New Frontier, Kingdom Come, All-Star Superman, ect, but he'd probably be wise to create something akin to the nostalgia and hopefulness that was in shows such as JLU, then he would in trying to make a dark DC universe that's rated R. DC could have gone that route and kind of still is with the Joker and Batman films --- and they can continue making offshoot DC R projects that are not connected with the tone of the DCU films--- but I think the nostalgia is there with the DCAU and recreating the color and vibe of those shows, just my take, is probably the way to go. Already, SL already has a vibe of being JLU with the announcement of who's been cast to play the pre-JLA so he's most likely on the right track, from the offset, if he gets Superman "right". Its this pesky who to keep and who not to keep that sems to be bogging this down. I think it might be even cool to see some of these DCEU characters show up in lesser known characters -- like Snyder did with the Watchmen actors. And, again, with the multiverse, this can kind of vaguely be explained. They can even go the route of making Gal Hippolyta/Athena, Cavil Zod/Eradicator, Affleck as Thomas Wyane.

I guess if it really does confuse so many fans then I’ll change my mind but honestly I think it’ll just come together as things develop. A full clean slate would be better but he just doesn’t want that and he’s has a bit of an ego and wants to make sure everyone knows he’s making the final decision with stuff like this. I do think that a break even on Superman Legacy would be a bad thing and although I do think it’s unnecessary added pressure I do think it’ll have to bring in 3/4 of a million to be considered a success.

    Do you think Gunn has cleared up any confusion or do you think he's added to it?
    Unless Gunn is redefining what a reboot is he's definitely adding to the confusion. One theory is that he can't afford to reboot the franchise because there's only so many actors to play these roles. Marvel's gobbled up a good chunk of Hollywood and with the worlds of X-Men, Fantastic Four and Blade on the horizon, not to mention more B and C-level heroes like Moonknight, Ms. Marvels and whatever else they wanna dig out of the Marvel Comics archives, the MCU is about to get a second wind and get even more actors to hitch their wagon to the MCU.
    As for the upcoming Superman: Legacy movie, I'm extremely skeptical that it'll be successful. For one it's not just Superman but 5 other superheroes in a movie that's designed to introduce the world to the (so-called) DCU. Superman, Mr. Terrific, Hawkgirl, Metamorpho, Green Lantern and Plastic Man, not to mention side characters like Lois, probably Perry White and/or Jimmy Olsen, Martha Kent and maybe a flashback of Jon Kent and Jor El feels like way, WAY too much. And all this before we even know who the villain or villains will be.
    It's also fascinating how much crap Marvel got for casting Iron Man, Nick Fury and Dr. Strange in the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies as pundits suggested that Marvel wasn't able to write a competent Spider-Man movie without the help of other MCU characters. Enter Gunn with 6 superheroes in a movie that's meant to focus on just one of them. This coupled with Gunn's very confusing statements about when the actual DCU will begin spells disaster in my eyes but all we can do is wait and see.

    So? Will everyone be multiverse variants with just the same actors sometimes? Like will "Peace Maker" have different memories or something? When reboots happen in comics it's pretty explicit. Shit will say "and the sands of time shifted" or " history as we knew it was lost" or something. They tell you a physical occurrence, like the Flashpoint events caused by the speedforce, or Dr. Strange's spell, or whatever, literally warped timespace and disrupted history and causality. They tell you to your face in comics that this has happened. The DCU isn't making this clear.

    It's good to want the DCU to be better than the DCEU, but Gunn is at the helm. It's just not realistic that Gunn will do better than Snyder.
    Our Movie News brings up legitimate concerns about Gunn's DCU. If it's confusing to normal DC fans, think how more confusing cherry-picking characters to stay in the DCU from the DCEU.
    I've argued these points before. But there are die-hard Gunn fans out there that believe he can do no wrong. The DCU hasn't even technically come out yet, and already, he's done so much wrong. I have no faith or optimism for the DCU.
    I think Warner Bros has had such bad leadership for so long that a lot of us just assumed that once Zaslav came in, we'd finally get a breath of fresh air. But he ignorantly hired Gunn.
    Zaslav is a businessman first. But he hasn't done his research. I think he's helped worsen Warner Bros specifically pertaining to all things DC.
    You want to make $? Why not start with ACTUALLY servicing your fans. That includes good storytelling. Not just laugh a minute comedy from one Barry Allen to the other.
    Warner Bros made fans just hang there with no resolution TWICE! They granted Zack Snyder's Justice League. It ended with a tease that Darkseid is now coming to Earth in person with his armada.
    Yet, we're all left hanging in anticipation. Dwayne Johnson KNEW it was about servicing the fans. And AGAIN. We get Black Adam and a tease for a major showdown between Black Adam and Superman.
    Once AGAIN, we are left hanging. On top of that, Cavill is terminated after the studio JUST asked him back. Zaslav is NOT a good businessman. And neither is Gunn for pushing his own agenda appointed by Zaslav.
    I think it's clear that Gunn doesn't know what he's doing. If he was clear from day one, we wouldn't be confused today. He strongly comes across as making it up as he goes. That's my impression.
    The man has only experience with putting crude humor movies together like The Suicide Squad. He has no business touching the likes of Superman. -OG

      The best thing marvel got or done was putting Kevin Feig as the leader first of all he had a history with marvel he started working with them way back b4 the MCU he pinched the idea of MCU and the bosses saw it would be profitable and made him the boss
      DC is always making worse decisions putting a director as the head of a project is worse cz even if there is other directors with different ideas from him he won't agree with them he will want them to stick with what he thinks is right
      Once again I repeat DC LACKS LEADERSHIP

  • @jtanimeandnerd101
    @jtanimeandnerd101 Před 8 měsíci +1

    I'm sorry to sound negative, but I need to be honest. Even if they had fully rebooted, the DCU would've been just a shadow of what the DCEU could've been. After Zack Snyder's Justice League released, we had finally gotten a good and epic Justice League movie, better than Josstice League. However, after releasing that movie, even if the universe was fully rebooted, I can guarantee the fanbase would be forever divided because if there's one thing that many movie goers hate, it's an unfinished story. As long as Zack Snyder's DC movies exist, then they're would've always been a divide, and I'm sorry to say that even if the full reboot was good, I highly doubt anything we would've gotten from a full reboot would've compared to the incredible and epic stories Zack Snyder was planning to tell, and could've told if he was allowed to come back and incorporate his writing with all of the heroes and villains we've gained since Joss Wheadon's Justice League. Now Superman Legacy could be great, or it could be a flop. I personally believe it's going to flop as hard as The Flash, but I could be wrong, we'll just have to wait and see. But at this point, unless they decide to restore Snyder's original vision and story, and mix it in with what's come before it, I'm pretty certain that the DCU is dead on arrival, whether it makes money to continue or not, I bet everything that it won't live up to what Zack Snyder was trying to make, because if Zack's movies have proven anything, it's that his DC movies just began at the wrong place and the wrong time.

It's not as confusing as you're choosing to make it but aside from that James Gunn is trusting the writing and filming. Nit picking before hand doesn't help encourage new audiences.

    Gunn is showing again and again that being a great director (as I believe he is) does not mean he is good as CEO. I think he screwed all the DC movies of this year when he announced the new universe in the beginning of the year, and now he is making sure NOBODY will watch Aquaman 2, reinforcing that "Aquaman is not canon and it's a dead end". Any chances the movie had to have a different outcome from the others is gone. Secondly, start the new universe with Creature Commandos is a TERRIBLE mistake. That will certainly flop horribly. Zero appeal. Third, as you said, keeping some actors in the same rolls is just confusing. If he likes them so much, keep them in different rolls. Put Cena to be Shazam, Xolo to be Nightwing, for example. But I guess all the hopes are in Superman Legacy. We must hope that it's a huge success, otherwise all will be doomed and his head will roll soon enough.

Just look at the animated DC movies, they're even darker and the DCAU is the most celebrated.
