But bros, you said the DCU was super duper successful under his leadership…
People say he was fired but I think he voluntarily stepped away. He realized he’d been with his baby for 4 years and said, “Nah, that’s too old for my tastes.”
>>156257792It was literally just one Gunn shill spamming for over a year
>>156257792i'm pretty sure what we were all saying was>MCU took 6 movies and 1 flop (including 1 recasting from that flop) to get one movie to get over 1 billion>covid + Marvel's continuous fumbles post-endgame lowered interest in superhero media>DC has to lock in and build trust over multiple years if they ever want to join the billion dollar club again>the only undeniable failure of Gunn's DCU was Supergirl, everything else was about as good as could be expected given the current climate
This nigga was talking about some Polka Dot man origin series and bringing back box office poison Margot Harley Quinn, he's gone insane
>>156257792Literally anyone with a functioning brain knew this was bound to happen all the way back in 2021 when The Suicide Squad failed.
>>156257897>the only undeniable failure of Gunn's DCU was Supergirl And even then that movie was highly watchable and Alcock was fantastic casting and did a great job.
>>156258412>670MSee, this is funny. By this logic, the DCU should be centered around Aquaman fighting Joker. So much of the dick measuring between Snyder and Gunn is fighting over scraps compared to the MCU.
>>156258412>way back in 2021 when The Suicide Squad failedThat was back during the backend of the coof and WB's "genius" idea of day 1 in-theater movies streaming, all their movies bombed then.
>>156257897This is my one fault with DC they basically need a good helmsman but then they don't give any of them time to properly build anything. Marvel took a literal decade to become the MCU and even then it was all under one set of people who didn't have to constantly fight marvel over every decision. Gunn has his faults but the man was expected to do the impossible by their standards they expected superman the first official movie of the new verse unless the blue beetle thing is true. They expect that to do 1 billion or at least 800m after covid and the synderverse/dcu fall off that is insane. Then they expected him to basically build a entire successful universe in about 5 years all while constantly overbearing on him. This would lead any person to failure, plus you know what Gunn is he's the ragtag team/loveable losers writer maybe give him someone who doesn't also love that style. Gunn is in charge of more one off or taking lesser known IPs like peacemaker and creature commandos then the bigger more serious stuff you give to someone else. Problem with Gunn is he kind of goes into every series/movie with a similar head space which isn't good for building up a compelling verse in the long term good for one offs but most don't like it for the bigger names which I agree with.
>>156257792It WAS successful, though!
>>156258944>the DCU should be centered around Aquaman fighting JokerThat would pretty based desu
>>156258881Every single entry is an undeniable failure. Supergirl is the just the biggest.
>>156257792I'm not your bro, pal.
>>156257792Polka dot man is his legacy
