Something inherently unheroic about American heroes fighting for islam

And now we're not going to see him again.

Right but as an adult I'm aware of which country and religion the movie is alluding to. Seeing American heroes stand for that type of stuff just isn't heroic to me

>child brides

Where do I sign.
>>
>>156288990
Okay but Iran has killed and targeted kids too. I don't know why you're projecting onto me but I just think it's unheroic for capes to defend islamic countries
>>
>>156289081
Never said it wasn't clear. I'm saying the use of analogues to real world countries makes the heroes actions less heroic when you watch it. You think I have an issue with the sides when really the movie just shouldn't have this plotline because it comes off as unheroic
>>
>>156288665
There's that but there's also the very tepid impacts/crater eruptions that each construct creates when emerging, which I don't know if GL anons would even think is feasible since having light project underneath a surface isn't something I have seen before.
And the weightlessness of some of the bodies as well as Guy's uncanniness to his presence in the scene makes it look like he is laid over the background.
Finally I just think the constructs just look not good. Like I don't know how you would make it look good but for some reason it just looks off.

Yeah sure its cause of one scene in a goyslop movie none of the suits watched and not the fact it and all the other dogshit made under Gunn flopped and shitted everywhere nor the fact they are a billion in debt and need to make money while catching wind of Gunn making a Gorilla Grodd musical or Polka Dot man origin story

Expenses of all Gunn DCU movies:
$430,000,000

Income of all Gunn DCU movies:
$857,000,000

Gunn made them approximately half a billion dollars in about 16 months. Only one movie didn't double its production budget.

This distinction is important, not because it secretly proves Gunn pwns or whatever. Rather, it points to one of two "real" reasons for his sacking:

a) they just didn't like him
b) their expectations for profit are wildly high

It's almost surely both, but we've seen a lot of proof that (b) is the biggest part

and that's really not good. how many movies make $500,000,000+ in net profits? Not many, and those that do are forced to kowtow to the enormous Asian market, often for the worse.

We've seen behavior like this in games. EA, Activision, Microsoft, and other big publishers set enormous, impossible-to-reach milestones and thus are "forced" to implement extremely shitty business decisions and consumer-hostile practices just to get close. That industry is in the process of imploding, because obviously it's not sustainable

as Skydance will soon see themselves

Thanks Anon, it's good to see numbers. Gonna save this for later.
>>
>>156290864
It's amazing you typed all that when it's as simple as his movies not making any kids of profit or cultural impact
>>
>>156290864
even simply when you realize where all the political money comes from to not make any mention about global conflicts the US is complicit in

> Gunnfags still still think the decision to fire Gunn had to do with Isreal.
Gunn lost money for the Studio by betting on Supergirl and he is paying for the consequences of those actions. Firing Gunn was purely economical and only idiot Gunnfahs think Gunn was going to create a billion dollar franchise when he lost money for Marvel with Guardians 3 making less then Guardians 2. Gunn is a one trick pony that deserved to get fire.

600 mil of that came from his first film and every single movie sence then has TOTALED 200mil

Yes a movie that he was in charge of. Gunn's bad decision making lost the studios money. He wasn't forced to make Supergirl. It wasn't a mandate. All he had to do was make the next tentpole movie perform good but he failed and the Studios lost money. I don't understand why you guys are trying to downplay Supergirl flopping as
>>
>>156289946
Please don't post your slop

>>156291063
The Incredible Hulk flopped too, and if Marvel had quit there they'd be fools.

It didn't flop nearly as bad Supergirl and iron man over performed. Not the same situation at all

"cultural impact" is a meaningless unquantifiable metric that can be whatever you want it to be. "the movie failed because i said so."

How? It's the one other area besides financial success that might be relevant to suits deciding shit

Not really. The new Spider-Man has normies shipping Peter with Jean Grey of all characters and it's because it was in a huge movie. Superman had no such impact on normies idea of Superman
>>
>>156291391
>But it also objectively failed financially
it didn't though
>>
>>156290864
Apparently a third reason is they don't like him constantly shooting his mouth off on social media.
>>
>>156288401
most retarded cope ever
yeah for sure they wanted him out for a shitty and generic "country A vs country B" conflict and not because the second big movie under his lead was a massive disaster, historical even, despite the positive word of mouth and good faith he had
>>
>>156290864
They didnt like him so much they went directly to him and gave him 4 years to fuck around and do whatever he wanted and their expectations were simply just "make more money than the previous guys" but instead he just spent the entire time jerking himself and his friends off while ignoring what audiences wanted on top of making shit that was divisive and now cause of the merger he has to be taken to task. The worse part is removing his retarded ass is gonna cost even more money and do even more damage to the brand
>>
>>156288401
well yeah he's twice the age of most of those execs and it's obvious

he's got an even more ridiculous wig than boris johnson somehow, his costume doesn't make any sense visually, he's casually murdering those people

if your career before retiring in your 40s rested on reviving the popularity of a franchise the studio has already pissed away billions on and come away at a loss, you wouldn't be looking at Captain Greybeard's Heart Attack Brigade to secure your nest-egg

>>156291426
>shitty and generic "country A vs country B"
C'mon anon. We all know
>>
>>156291591
And they ignored the split with the theatres.

It's cope. Gunn was supposed to make money, and his best efforts barely broke even.

Worth noting is that he had a lot of wiggle room because these projects aren't reliant on just the box office. A movie can lose money but still be highly profitable due to ancillary sales which can go on for YEARS. These flicks didn't manage that.

The quality of the Gunn era is debatable, but it's failure to connect with audiences isn't.

Oyyyyy veeeeeee-

>>156291674
you're insane if you think every movie has to make over double its budget to not be a bomb

They said this in 2025 while trying to cover up how disappointed they were with it. Are you even aware that theaters take cuts? And that the studios don't literally get every cent made by the movie? Even it made 700 million Supergirl is a historic bomb that would off set it

>an of Steel earned approximately $42.7 million in profit for Warner Bros. after its theatrical run, with additional revenue from physical sales estimated at $120.9 million. However, the total profit including all revenue streams is not explicitly detailed, but it is significantly lower than newer Superman films.
>Superman
>Overall Profit: Industry reports and major outlets note that ancillary revenue streams—such as digital VOD, physical media, HBO Max (Max) streaming, merchandising, and brand licensing—pushed the film into profitability.

Isn't this sort of creativity out of character for Guy? I thought he just liked to use his ring to blast things with raw energy.
>>
>>156292015
Your post doesn't make sense. If it didn't bomb Gunn wouldn't have been fired. And since Gunn was fired that can mean one thing
>>
>>156292046
see >>156290864

>>156292037
If he showed any spark of creativity, using the ring to turbo-flip the bird at someone is exactly in-character.

>>156292056
All you can do is cope. The numbers listed in that post are pathetic

Man of steels box office was higher and it's total physical sales are $167 million when adjusted for inflation. I don't even like Snyder but Gunn lost
