I just laugh at your intelligence. If Putin gets disposed, the next person to take over will be heartless. You think the Russians have forgotten about how America deceived them in decades ago.

But that is the point he is trying to make.

that's true, and it will happen this year. Watch out.

The use of nuclear weapons and its aftermath will eventually usher in a replacement for UN, something like the deceptive one world government.

God has put spirit of madness into Putin..watch out very soon for nuclear attack.

I read a book some years ago on a prophecy about a coming war, where Russia will unleash the first nuclear weapon out of frustration of loss. This current war is gearing up to be like that prophesied war, although I think Putin's replacement might be the one to unleash the weapon. Most Russians are warlike and not as moderate as Putin, his replacement might just be the guy, someone like Dmitry Medvedev or Yevgeny Prigozhin, for instance are capable of unleashing havoc on the world.

I want to add a message here; Russia will set rocket attack to Poland capital Warsaw , air defense will capture it and NATO article will be activated. NATO will rain bomb in Russia. let's remain safe from this dangerous period.

Looking more like a possibility as the Russian army is amassing in Belarus. They intend to stop the supply of Western weapons coming through Lviv from Poland.

He needs the fans for his new universe to succeed and survive. The fans, on the hand, don't need him to survive. He should stop dividing the fanbase.

Anti-Snyder fans who don't bother to rewatch the movies to understand the underlying perspectives and philosophies of his movies. They complained that Snyder is a bad director, yet what have we gotten after him? Mostly shallow movies without philosophies. Anyway, Snyder is forever gone from DC and he is obviously doing well at Netflix despite the hate he got from fans of Donnerism...

Lmao...you guys should have seen the handwriting from James Gunn's Suicide Squad take. After seeing how most of the old squad from Ayers SS was cancelled within the first 25 minutes of the movie, I lost interest in completing the movie. Till date, I have only watched the first 35 minutes of that movie. So, I am not too surprised by what's happening as I refuse to be fooled twice. Dividing and confusing fanbase is the name of the game. Such games will never end well...

Lmao...we shall revisit this argument in roughly 5 years from now. The chances of a DC reboot succeeding is less than 30%, not even with die-hard fan bases that have been faithful over the past few years. I wish James Gunn well on his new adventure...lol

Unless proven otherwise. Or perhaps what he writes doesn't translate to audio visual perfection or brilliance.

There are a lot of things that look cool in the comic books but requires indepth thinking and creativity to achieve on the screen. This is the simple truth and exactly what Geoff Johns lacks.

Sharon's opinions which I kinda roll with.


A total reboot would have been better at this point but box office and general audience perception
will take a hit especially for the first 5 films. But a promise of a reward lies in the future.
Anyways, it's obvious some stories have to make way for others. How it's decided is the big question.






No success is guaranteed even after five films. Do you know why Marvel is still loved? Many teenagers grew up watching Marvel movies in their childhood and some are already adults as we speak. The Marvel momentum was not altered in anyway and it catered for these transitioning demographics. The real issue with DC is the confusion about canceling and rebooting and all that, it makes people lose interest in their projects. No consistency or continuity whatsover. The easiest scapegoat is always to blame Snyder but WB is the biggest issue, for not believing in their projects and being shaky about Box Office cash.

I'm foreseeing a boring and fatigued cbm coming very soon since there won't be much difference between the major two heavy houses. The only formula James Gunn can inject into DC is properly what the MCU has thought him.
I would've preferred James Wan as the new head over Gunn if Zaslav can't get those Brothers...

The superhero genre has already reached its peak, it will only go downhill from here unless they start injecting some form of realism into their stories. This era started as far back as 12 years ago. No genre lasts forever in Hollywood.

More cons for a reboot.
•The fanbase will still be very much divided.
•The new storyline will take years to payoff.
•There no guarantee that it will be a success.
•What happens when WBD is under new management in a few years and doesn't like the direction which DC is going?

The real problem with DC movies is that whenever a new management takes over, they want to rubberstamp their own selfish 'creative' ideas. This is why these movies have been stagnant since 2016 or so.

In as much as there's some truth to what THR reported, I think it's the end of the road for the DCEU.
The reactionary approach would hurt whatever they are building in the future. What happens if the upcoming reboot tanks and doesn't make them the money?
A third reboot in the middle of same continuity? How about just finish the current continuity of stories before bringing in another narrative?
You just brought back an actor only to tell him sorry, we don't need you any more.
Soon serious actors will be reluctant over working on franchise project with WB let alone sign contracts for it.
It's like being hired for a passion project and then halfway through told to drop off.
Mhen, I am so done with franchise stories especially those with WB. That's how they ruined fantastic beasts by being reactionary with Johnny Depp saga and it backfired heavily.
I don't know how many times they have rebooted the DCEU so far.
These days I no longer care about these movies, I hardly know when it releases, if I see them online I download them.
You build people's excitement only to dash their dreams.
Cavill was really excited to be back.

What did you expect from James Gunn who killed off 90% of David Ayer's Suicide Squad cast just to build his own team. Expect the same "Suicide Squad" treatment for existing DC characters going forward. The way I see it, He's trying to build his own legacy in a lazy way.

I don't see James Gunn's plans working, especially with this axing news everywhere. He will end up putting a death knell on DC characters because he is about to be Geoff John 2.0. I hope I am wrong though...

This unnecessary attention seeking.
I dont why people are losing resilience and strength. All this feeling and woke behaviour

When i went to the UK I was a tiny little 15 year old. I remember old ladies use to cross the road, getting served last at corner shops, being chased by NF West Ham supporters, my white girlfriend being tsk and tutted at. At 20 being asked by a policeman while parked " where are your tools?" ( implying I was a burglar) I never wrote this home in any of my letters, I simply got on with it. Previous generations had it worse.

In all these things I responded with a smile and simply got on with it.

It is true that some people are really disengaged from reality over there. Some are simply ignorant. Even in polite conversation they "put their foot in it" but you dont need to become them to answer them.

My take on Black Adam: it was decent movie, nothing spectacular. The story and writing was not good enough with the third act being very weak. The movie feels like an episode of one of those DC cartoons I've watched in the past. The weakest link is the lack of mythology, which would have given the story more originality. The visuals are appealing though except for the red clouds in the third act (feels like josstice league again) and the design of sabak.

That's because Stalin and Hitler started WW2 in the first place by jointly attacking Poland.

Americans are unpredictable, you and I knows this. You people who set a trap for Putin to fight a proxy with them don't know what exactly to do? For your information, the US warned Putin that making use of chemical/nuclear weapons is tantamount to his sucide.

This is a war game scenario with different outcomes when different responses are input. Nearly all possible outcomes have been simulated by the US defence and this is why Moscow is being warned relentlessly. The real war hasn't even started yet. NATO has real time statistics of all Russia assets globally and their movements and just an order will liquidate those assets. If US can accurately fire a missile into Gaddafi's bedroom as far back as 1986, imagine what could be done in this modern day. Our prayer is that the war shouldn't escalate beyond what it is at the moment.

Cool, Russia has ran out of missiles too. They're now using catapults and machete.
Thanks for the info, it means a lot to me.

I spoke about Russia running out of precision and guided missiles, which is a fact. They probably still have lots of unguided missiles which are cheap to produce and are still used for random bombardments over Ukraine. Unguided missiles are not intelligent and therefore tend to hit random locations when fired.

Part of the concessions the new Ukrainian govt will make will include demilitarization(Russia may destroy all military bases and infrastructure) and outlawing of Nazism.
There may be pockets of terror attacks but they're negligible.
The West will also have to grapple with their own terror attacks if they sponsor terrorism against Russia.
Right now, the West has hoped to weaken Russia but it backfired as the West was actually weakened, their economy is in shambles, there are riots and massive protests in the West, there are calls for change of govts in several Western countries. The West destabilized, disoriented and destabilized (it's only just the beginning)

Nothing has backfired, dude. Adjustments need to be made in the West, but backfiring is the not right word at this moment. By the way, Russia is having it rough economically also but the government keeps on hiding important economic data and crushes any government opposition. Which government can be normal after losing more than 70% of its FDI in 2 months and losing more than 50% of its usual imports and exports?

It also happen in the West (mass shootings and sort).
Basically, when Zelensky is overthrown, the new Ukrainian leader recognized by Russia can agree that the other parts of Ukraine where a referendum (a referendum to join Russia) had not been held will join Russia as a new federated entity with or without a referendum.
A fringe minority of dissents will only wag their tongues.
Zelensky's militants will be disorganized and reduced to boko haram status.
