No be the same the same Bale dey Thor Love and Thunder?? 😂

Minemrys:

Please don't compare Joker controversy with Ezra Miller. Joker is a fictional character and a film about mental health. Ezra Miller literally was a criminal fronting a movie. He kidnap kids and was grooming them, he choked a woman. He went on the run.
Apologies for being wrong about the Joker not being marketed but my point is, Superman Legacy can be a huge profit with minimal and strategic marketing.

Minemrys:

You underestimated the influence of social media and the coverage of the network news lol. Again, WB hiring people to say stuff like it's the greatest thing ever set the movie up to fail.

From the day I saw it I knew it will tank heavily but few of us thought it was the haters that were spreading negative words of mouth...
It's somehow crazy that the first three movies that were heavily criticise and few (like WW and Aquaman) that tied to those movies were the ones that actually did better throughout the DCEU period, while the fun and enjoyable movies are the ones struggling to even get to their BEP. Very funny...
Herculean task for Gunn now...

IngeniousLeez:


Aquaman is a fun and enjoyable movie. If at all anything, it's DCEU first MCU type of film.

You peeps always have a funny way of including Aquaman in DCEU success movies because of its billion dollar gross and kick out the less successful ones. Everyone knows its easily an MCU flick, some people not deep in comic book stuff even confuse it to Marvel.

SMUAG:


Was Suicide Squad too not having the MCU vibes. My point is not even close to the billion it made, but the fact that the first 5 to 6 dceu movies have more of a connection also contributed great help to its success. Even if BvS did not make the money we all thought it will, it was still the BvS that connected and gave birth to Aquaman movie.
Like for me, aside the connection I was mostly eager to see it because that was the first time we will be seeing a movie that would be like 95% underwater likewise many people too...
But is it just a coincidence that these (6) movies are still the most highest grossing DCEU movies till date, and the only 2 movies outside the DCEU that can actually fall into that category did not even follow anything related to the MCU.
10yrs later still non of the dceu mcu-wannabe movies can actually do better by out selling MoS that we all called below average movie and was also very divisive...

My take is, the biggest mistake was trying to make the DCEU an else world MCU.

The Flash currently sits at 210.9M from $139M opening at the box office, not the ideal for a movie of its calibre, but a far cry from the prophecy of doom all over the net.

That's why I always said, let the coming weeks determine the performance of the movie. Who knows, things may go positive.

Yeah, they shouted back then,

"DCEU is too dark and broody",
"The colour palette is too bland"
"Comic book movies should not be serious"

Today, we have DC movies being opposites of these and yet nobody is watching these "marvel-like" movies again. Lol...

Minemrys:

Divide that by 2. WB still haven't gotten investors money in the project. You think the movie is going to make an additional 300? Hehehe, you should be Superman. I love your optimism.

abduleez1:


The guy optimism dey fear me...
And I think say I be Captain Optimist. 😟😢


Even new film and useless rom-com that nobody watches anymore like No Hard Feelings is beating out the Flash. You gotta be fearful.

Imagine Elemental picking up steam and beating out Flash.

Minemrys:

Lol, it's frightening actually. The film wasn't bad, if only they dropped the Miller guy. I was really doubtful of the guy way before now (not his acting abilities. He is good) when I saw an interview of the guy in 2015. The fella was so high that you seriously sensed he was going to be a problem.
I thought after the choking a woman thing would force WB into action but no. But they acted quick to drop Johnny Depp from Fantastic Beasts and the movie ended up a BO disappointment. And the ironic thing is, there were no videos proving the guy abused Heard.

abduleez1:
And this is the reason I have some optimism for the future....

Man's sending the right message to the industry.

abduleez1:


At least, henceforth we can hope WB has learnt their lesson. Who knows whether now they can seriously think of wiping out Amber Heard, but it's hard since she's key to the story.
I never liked Ezra from the onset, and he was one of the few casting choices from Snyder I didn't like. I didn't feel him as Barry then.
Weird enough, some critics actually said Miller has a good performance in the Flash movie.

This is why I say thorough vetting needs to occur henceforth for future casting, not to fail to screen out future powder kegs. From director, writer to actor. Top to bottom.

Disney/MCU seems set to be thrown into such issues with Jonathan Majors problem.

GloriousGbola:


Disney that iced pirates of the carribean and dropped Terrence Howard as Rhodes? Them no go even think am twice.

It is possible the flash poor performance is pushback. Ezra issues and carrying his they them too far.

pu7pl3:


Which one is "I don't care about the characters"?
If dem dey quote person make dem quote am with context abeg.

abduleez1:


Lol, some headlines can be confusing at times.

But what Gunn is actually saying is that Superhero films of now you hardly are really connected with the characters portrayed by the actors or how they was written. There's no connection or relating with them.

It's significant in the sense that as stupid and dumb as a character like King Shark was in TSS, he was loved by all. Imagine say King Shark no return for the next TSS movie, people fit protest.
See Birds of Prey, if them recast or change the actor wey play Cassandra Cain, you go complain. See as them murder Cassie. The film ain't bad per se to me but I didn't like the character portrayals and I didn't enjoy the portrayal of Jurnee Smollet even tho she's a phenomenal actress.

How many people wan miss Amy Adams as Lois Lane. She's one of the issue with Superman film sef. Her portrayal is just too plastic for my liking.
There's a reason people love Margot Robbie and can't think of any other person as Harley. Same goes for Viola Davis.

after the way gunn fked with all our heads in the opening of the suicide squad

Honestly if DC fail to capture any young star from HBO's House of The Dragon I fit swear for WB and DC Studios. 😭😭

Those two ladies, Milly Alcock and Emily Carey are going places. The entire cast is just too sweet not to capitalise on.
I liked what WB did with Pedro Pascal, same can be replicated with him starring in GOT, The Last of Us and WW84.

Matt Smith is right there. Multiple roles the guy can fit into. If they fumble him eh, better thunder
