I don't know anybody who has heard of the DC EU. Or Black Adam.
>>214143236so what was his story with james gunni remember reading somewhere he wanted to head dceu until Gunn was hired and told him to fuck off
he got mogged hard by hawkman in his own moviecyclone was kinda cute, atom was fucking useless and jewish (shouldn't have been in the movie), fate was kinda cool with the helmet on but brosnan was terrible
KWAB
>>214143244Why are modem DC movies obsessed with these kinds of shots?Flash had shots like this.James Gunn Superman had like multiple shots like this.These shots never look fucking good yet they keep doing them.Why?
>>214143236The movie was such dogshit though. Like did no one speak up and say guys we cant launch an MCU style universe off this turd.
Everything besides Peacemaker and Shazam 1 was so fucking terrible. I'm glad the universe is dead.
>>214143236oh yessuch wonderful heroes such as....
>>214143583Aquaman 1 and Wonder Woman 1 were also good tho
did Dwayne Johnson pick that particular superhero to be his vehicle? Why would he pick that one?
the hierarchy of power in the DC universe is about to change
>>214143649I'm assuming it's a superhero that doesn't have a strong prior actor and is obscure enough that he can mold in his image. When you think of Black Adam, you will think of The Rock and no one else.
>>214143583what about blue beetle?
>>214143292the rock attempted his hostile takeover first by going to Walter hamada, who said no because he had his own plans. then he went over his head to hamadas WB bosses, who allowed a test run. at that point the dceu was already heading to shit and they were playing with bringing in gunn and safran. the rock, hearing of this, attempted to strong arm and take control - ostensibly by weaponzing snyderverse fans and cavill fans by having him in the movie. this failed, gunn and co were officially brought on, and gunn had to apologize and speak to cavill in private how he had been led on and deceived, but that he was going to find work for him within the new dc universe he was making.>>214143649this actually goes back like a decade - they have been trying to make a Shazam film for a while and immediately where in talks with Johnson near the start of his acting career. by the time they actually got around to making it however, he was waaaaaay more famous, demanded a lot more money, and instead of having him just be in Shazam, he wanted his own film - which he got.
>>214143616thats the snyderverse.
>>214143608Blork
Seems kinda late, they really missed the hype of the MCU shit when that was actually good. I don't know if they're gonna be able to get the average person interested when capeshit seems so saturated with all the litterally who heroes that MCU keeps putting out.
>>214143954shazam was snyderverse also
>>214143954Yeah, that guy I replied to was talking about the snyderverse
>>214143505maybe to make some shit that's 1:1 to what comic frames look like. my guess
>>214143236Hahahahahahaha
>>214144040>when that was actually goodwhich was when exactly? the only decent to good mcu movies i can remember were iron man 1, avengers 1 and gotg, horrible average
>>214144370>cyborgthat a joke? with that atrocious actor that complained about whedon? seriously?
>>214144459i had a job once where a few months in i quit, pouting that they didn't give me serious enough work to do. i didn't realize until later that you have to do some tedious basics while they see if you're solid and if you consistently are, they will invest the serious stuff with you. these young blacktors keep falling over the same self inflicted trap
>>214143236>International quits capeslop after this movieWhat went wrong?
>>214143236Seems to me like Man of Steel, BvS, Wonder Woman and Justice League were the first phase, no?
>>214143649People had been talking about Dwayne playing Black Adam for like 20 years before it actually happened. I never understood why since he doesn't look like character at all, but then again Dwayne doesn't look like any superhero because he's not white or black or Asian or latino. At least Black Adam isn't any one of those, he's supposed to be middle eastern, and no one who doesn't read comics had ever heard of him. Dwayne probably has just enough self-awareness to understand that he can't be Superman or Batman, so he probably figured he could use his star power to take over this unknown but really powerful character without much backlash and then snowball that position into building a cinematic universe around himself.
>>214144370DC (WB) execs are fucking retarded, nothing new
>>214143236>"YOU BETTER WATCH MY MOVIE LITTY, IT'S GONNA BE THE BEST THING ANYONE HAS EVER SEEN EVER, EVEN BETTER THAN CITIZEN KANE, EVEN BETTER THAN LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, YOU GET ME LITTY? DAMN PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN AND I DEDICATE THIS FILM TO THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN WHO TOOK DOWN OSAMA BIN LADEN, SEMPER FI OO-RAH"
>>214143236What's funny to think about is there is probably some retard out there who loves this movie and has Black Adam as his favorite superhero.
>>214144370This was also like the 2nd revision for their plans
>>214144370>the original DCEU started with green lantergigabombed and killed the green lantern franchise (geoff jhons BTFO)>Superman was originally a stand alone trilogy with nolan/snydermade money and WB forced snyder to build the whole DCEU with one movie (he scrapped the metallo/luthor and brainiac/supergirl sequels)>no Billy for BvS WB shadowban snyder and reshoot the next movies.>the aquaman butterfly effect (made a billy) and shazamWB gets too cocky and launchs gorillion of movies (all of them gigaflop included WW and aquaman sequels)>the gunnversenu-superman flopped, civil war between snyder and gunn fags, peacemaker hardcarried by jon cena, last hope momoa (lobo) hardcarrying the supergirl movie.not funny, unironically.
>>214147196>civil war between snyder and gunn fagsYou know it's bad when they can't even laugh at the mcu flopping thrice together.
