    I’m still mad they couldn’t just recast Ezra Miller after all his controversies.
    They did it for “All the money in the world.” Why not “The Flash”? People like Miller and amber heard are menaces they actually deserved to not only be cancelled, but buried under the mat for good.

    • @MarcSpctr
      @MarcSpctr Před 7 měsíci +25

      even after proven guilty they aren't cancelled and yet Johnny Depp and James Gunn would be people to get cancelled instead.
      I think Hollywood has learnt it's lesson cause even after allegations now Jonathan Majors is still playing Kang, and I do not think Disney would repeat it's mistake again, probably would cast him only after He is proven guilty, else they ain't taking risk again, they saw the outcome already with Depp and Gunn.

    • @deadpoolrockz6410
      @deadpoolrockz6410 Před 7 měsíci +12

      For The Flash I kind of get, since the actor was playing 3 different versions of the same character (Present Barry, past Barry, and Black Flash Barry), most of which were on screen at the same time. They apparently had all the parts featuring all 3 Barry's complete by the time the controversy hits, so logically if they did recast, it be a major investment loss since it's not just a single character that is prominently featured in the film being recasted, but 3.

    The big issue with The Mummy is that they tried too hard to make it an introduction to the Dark Universe franchise instead of trying to make it a good movie on its own.
    It would have worked a lot better if they focused on the plot of the main monster and only introduced the whole Jekyl subplot near the very end to start building up that there's something else.

    This is a hot take, but I actually enjoyed watching The Flash. It was by no means a perfect movie, but I loved seeing Michael Keaton as Batman again and the ending was really tearjerking for me. That’s my opinion and no one can change it

      Not a hot take really.
      as the movie (apart from terrible VFX) was actually really good.
      But sadly the announcement that the stories won't be continuing and reboot of DCEU led to people skipping that film.
      but it definitely was a good film.

    TBF, Space Jam: A New Legacy became the most controversial movie of the 21st century by cancellations even re-animating Lola Bunny in a different thing also LeBron James got his Razzie Award and people still disliking him now. Warner Bros, made WORST decisions too many and hopefully, it needs to be stopped. Also it failed on the box office during the CONVID-19 incident, too.

      Nostalgia Critic's introduction from his The Revenge review said it best. "This shark has more lives than a soap opera lead!"

      I believe the first movie is the only notible one and even at that I don't particularly go crazy over it.
