Gee, I have NO CLUE how Gunn's DCU failed. Its a MYSTERY.

I'm more off put by his style of dark grotesque humor in series it doesn't belong in. The Superman movie should not have "Supershit" as a plot point.

Good media is usually about shit.

Who tf watched Suicide Squad and thought "This guys perfect for Superman"

Yeah, and, as well all know, the shit its about has to be whatever far left meme Reddit is obssessed with at the moment and be as subtle as a sledgehammer to the cunt

What was Donner's Superman a thin allusion to?

Real estate investors are evil.

Lanterns was entirely Tom King.
We would've gotten a comfy buddy cop show if Gunn was actually in charge of it.
>>
>>156250807
Gunn has no opinions of his own, he just wants to echo whatever he's told
Its why he used to be an edgelord with all those pedo jokes and is now a super safe le wholsome chonker

You mean like Trump?

Hardly the endless tantrum the DCU has been, no?

return to the great society policy where a baby not born in america becomes the pinnacle of american goodness and stops the corrupt rich men who thought they were untouchable. Demonstrates in the end (time travel) that with enough power and purpose people can have their cake and eat it.

The film having a vague archetype of "an evil businessman who loves money" is hardly the same as Gunns fuckin echausting non-stop political commentary, but you alreafy know that

fuck James Gunn and his bizarre obession with aliens impregnating people
>Slither
Alien organism impregnates people with worms
>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Ego travels the galaxy and impregnates multiple females across multiple planets
>Superman (2025)
Kryptonians were freaks who wanted to spread Kryptonian seed across Earth by force

I'm not missing any other examples, am I?

>>156250875
So its a generic "rags to cape" hero story where the hero fights a generic evil tycoon

Thats not the same as the blunt, overt social commentary to real world events the DCU has been obssessed with

None of the great Superhero films have anything more than a passing nod to real world events, while Gunn ruminates at length
Norman Osborn is another evil businessman in Spider-man 1 (with a sprinkling of science-as-gone-too-far), but its not like he flew his Goblin Glider to Iran to steal their oil, like Gunn would write
>Youre the one who's out, Gobby! Out here pretending Iran has nuclear weapons to justify a war!
>>
>>156250950
except it wouldn't be called Iran, but rather "Iradia"
>>
>>156250895
He signed off on supergirl having space pirates that raid for breeding slaves, and lanterns having a women get gregnant from an alien fabricator machine
>>
>>156250807
That wasn’t a revolution. Revolutions are done by the people, not by foreign governments looking to siphon you of your resources. That’s called Neo colonialism
>>
>>156250950
Norman wasn't really the evil businessman, it was his corporate partners who backstabbed him that were the evil ones. Norman's fatal flaw was his desperation and decision to test to formula on himself when Living Brain had already told him there was something wrong with it.

>Build her up a lot during the series
>Kill her off unceremoniously to "le subvert expectations"

I'm glad Gunn was fired

I never thought I'd see 4chan of all things call hating Isreal "reddit". Proof you fags are nothing but contrarians and bots.

Wait, she was killed off in the show? All i knew about it that he made Frank a pathetic stalker his entire personality.

>>156251767
She was completely useless the whole show, and in the final battle got stabbed while finally doing the one thing she’s able to do, which was swim

The people of Venezuela are ridiculously incompetent at doing anything on their own.

You can tell Raimi leaned conservative because Norman isn't bad because he was making weapons to kill arabs but because a serum made him act like an evil goblin.
