Brooo so pained, whipped up Ms word and gave us a whole thesis breakdown why that S5 was a disaster 😩😩😂.

On a serious note, with the Vought Rising trailer yesterday, it is clear why this S5 felt like a disturbing afterthought that they felt obligated to just get over with. They checked out in making it good, like one to two seasons back, and the real braidsmaid were the potential spinoffs Eric Kripke thinks he could spurn and hold on forever to that paycheck based on "The Boys". I will be watching that one still but we are clearly dealing with a mad man 😞

You never can comprehend the pain 😡😡😡... and 🖕 Vought Rising, they will probably just mess up the finale like this one 👹🙄

👆👆👆👆👆

In addition to the above, A-Train’s early death in Season 5 was disappointing. He had one of the best redemption arcs in the series, evolving from a selfish Vought puppet into someone genuinely trying to do better and oppose Homelander.

The issue isn’t that he died, but that the story killed him off too early before fully paying off his character development and exploring his role or potential role in the final battle.

Continuation....

My take on The Boys season 5 below.

Note, spoiler alert.

Lol, not really. It's actually the reverse.

WB was actually the one who booked Dec 18 since last year. Disney after postponing the date of Doomsday twice, decided to fit it into that same date with DUNE. Same rubbish they've always been daring to do with WB most times.

That F4 and Superman taught them a lesson but they know they can easily get away with this cos its an Avengers movie. Still, DUNE 3 has the exclusive IMAX 3 weeks window.

Make dem dey do, na until dem get the Avatar: Fire and Ash experience, na dat time their eyes go clear. Dune is a solid franchise, while the MCU has been experiencing several struggles which I believe is due to lower quality films, and lack of cohesion and progression in the multiversity saga, unlike during the infinity saga. Now they're just throwing films and hope it succeed, and also setting up stories that they never explore, and all the others. One might argue that it's superhero fatigue. Maybe, but I don't think so, the performance of Superman and F4 says otherwise. If those two films weren't released same time, they would have grossed higher and better. Also, Invincibles and The Boys also counters that narrative. I believe people are just tired of repetitive and low quality superhero films, that's what the fatigue is about.

Marvel knowing this, as regards their poor handling of the multiversity saga, decided to use nostalgia to draw audience by bringing back classic actors (RDJ etc) and characters (Captain America etc), hoping it will build hype and draw audience. If they had taken their time to build a quality, orderly, cohesive and progressive multiversity saga, all these drama of nostalgia wouldn't have been necessary.

Now, Avengers: Doomsday with this baggage is going up against Dune 3. It might not end well for the movie, that is, it might not gross the $2B mark, which will be a blow to Marvel. Dune 3 on the other hand has no such baggage and it doesn't need to gross billions, a $600M to $800M gross is okay for it. Avengers has more to lose than Dune if things goes sight which I hope it doesn't.

Which is why I wonder what Marvel were smoking. What happened to November? Na over confidence dey worry dem... and I just hope say the thing no go blow back for their face.

But anyways, the December to remember will tell....

A December to remember.....

Nothing you wan tell me, WB wan revenge against Disney/ Marvel for the stunt wey Marvel pull by releasing F4 same time as Superman last year wey prevent Superman from grossing over $700M... because what's this Dune 3 and Avengers: Doomsday I'm seeing so. Aura for Aura 😂.

But thank God say Marvel follow feel the heat because F4 no break even... 🌚

But this play too rough abeg 😂

Na wetin the studio call am we dey go with. If dem say na official teaser, official teaser is it, abi you wan dey argue with DC Studios. Who goes us? 😂

On the issue of Hal saying he is the only human GL in a world where we have Guy Gardner's GL is one that raises questions. It's either;

** The series is set before the event of Superman and Guy Gardner's GL
** Or Hal is talking about his past in which he was the only human GL before others came on board
** Or Guy is half human, half Vuldarian as in some comics, so Hal statement was speaking in the context of full human GL
** Or Hal is just simply ignoring Guy because well, Hal doesn't like Guy, which isn't surprising... 😂

In light of the fact that;
** Gunn says that post Superman films are set after the events of Superman
** And Guy's GL is popular due to being a member of the Justice Gang

... I believe the first option is out leaving us with the second to fourth option. But which is which? We have to wait for the series to br released to access such a knowledge....

Beware my power......



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1jcPlGXnMo?si=muiM0qAKRCf2m5rZ

At first I wondered why the characters weren't wearing any GL suit or showcasing the GL powers, but then I realized it's a teaser meant to build curiosity, curiosity of if they will ever wear the suit and show the power, or if they will do it earlier, or if they will do it later. I believe that's the aim, to build that curiosity and expectations for the series. Some might disagree, but I can say that such curiosity has been built in me.

Aside that, being a teaser means they don't have to show everything or the juicy part. One may argue that being a teaser doesn't stop them from showing some of the juicy part, and you're right, but on the other hand, being a teaser also justifies them not doing it. So both showing some juicy part and not showing the juicy part are both valid, it's a matter of choice. One isn't more or less valid than the other. As I said, it's a matter of choice, and DC chose to take the path of the latter. One has to understand that, sometimes, there are multiple ways to do a thing, and not just one way. So the best thing to do is, watch the series when it releases in other to sate your curiosity, instead of judging a series from a teaser....

But the truth of the matter is, there's no way there will be absent of GL suits and powers. That's not a move Gunn and DC will be willing to take considering the backlash and negative publicity that will create. Also, the fact that we saw;
** The ring
** A glimpse of a lantern suit in a closet
** John Stewart presumably using the ring in the scene where their car flew off the cliff
** John holding the lantern
** Hal flying
** Hal identifying himself as a Green Lantern
** And Hal using his ring at the end of the teaser

... shows that the GL suits and powers would definitely be part of the series. But the question remains, would it be at the beginning or towards the end? That I don't know. We will have to wait for the series to be released for us to access such knowledge.

As for the setting, that shouldn't be an issue because Gunn has made it clear that the series will be set on Earth and not space. Some may argue that GL is a space story, and hence such should be the case. Yes, they're right, but Hal and John sector is sector 2814, which includes Earth, and Hal and John are from Earth, so it makes sense also for the story to be set on Earth. But one might still argue that they could have started from space and move to Earth. That's a valid argument, but starting from Earth and eventually moving to space is also valid. Both are valid, one isn't more or less valid than the other. So, at the end of the day, it's a matter of choice, and Gunn and DC chose the path of "Earth first, space later". You may not like it, but it is what it is. This isn't about feelings, but logic.

All in all, I like the teaser even though it wasn't what I was expecting, but hey, I understand it's a teaser hence why the juicy part wasn't shown even though they were teased. Also, the teaser's aim of stimulating curiosity worked on me, because I'm over the top curious which definitely will make me watch the series. And finally, it's unreasonable to judge a series by a teaser, but rather judge a series by the series itself. The teaser might be the same with the series, and the teaser might not be the same with the series. The determining factor is the series. So watch the series instead of making complains and judgement based off a teaser. That's what reasoning demands....

Same way you're also basing your Netflix bad, Paramount good on personal sentiments.

Have Netflix taken hold of WB that you're so sure that they would not give theatrical release a chance? Which major studio has Netflix owned or Skydance? Also we've at least seen how the Ellison drops highly anticipated movies from theatres to streaming. The same saviour you're hoping would help DC.

I find it funny that everyone likes to crucify Netflix on how they'd destroy the industry with short theatrical release windows and co. But guess what.... Netflix is actually a streaming company. Have they operated a business that made them to compulsorily release films in theatres? Capital NO.

They can't give you promise of releasing films theatrically because they've never been a traditional studio. Netflix audience or subscribers are online and at homes. Their business is entirely different from the theatrical game. So I find it profoundly weird with peeps talking about Netflix this and that.
If Netflix owned a traditional studio like AmazonMGM now, what you peeps say would have some level of relevance. But it's not.


"Netflix hates theatres, loves short windows" etc, yet it's the same Netflix that's sponsoring Greta Gerwig's NARNIA movie in cinemas on IMAX for a whole month this year. If you don't believe in theatres, you'd never debut a film on the most prestigious screen any filmmaker wishes for their films to be seen.

Just like you're explaining away Ellison's shït talk about his plans for HBOMAX and Paramount+, one can be made for Netflix because they've never been in the theatrical game before. The ONLY reason Netflix even releases films in theatres is because of Academy Awards requirements. Until recently when filmmakers started pushing back and needing their films in cinemas. Netflix has shown it is willing to bend or make compromises depending on the situation on ground. And even promised at least a 45days window for major films if it acquires WB.

Netflix has the cashflow to easily make WB and DC a juggernaut. They have the experience being a dominant force in the industry.

Talking about theatrical windows, with the same WB that took SUPERMAN to VOD in less than 45 days. That's their most anticipated film of last year o. There's also the case of THE BATMAN that got just 45days of release despite doing crazy numbers in 2022. These are DC's highest grossing films in theatres since 2022, and you can already see how the studio treats it. These films should be doing nothing less than 60 days in theatres cos of their scale.

So, I find all this talk pretty cheap.

Ellison can make a success out of WB same way David Zaslav did a superb job even if peeps won't give him the credit or never believed he would succeed when he first came in. But, I seriously doubt it.

Anyways, we can always wait and see how things pan out.

1.) Bro your entire argument is irrelevant because I never advocated for David Ellison, neither did I advocate against him. I simply said, give the guy, who just took over Paramount in September, time to do his thing, instead of expecting magic or passing early judgement. That was loud and clear.

Whatever he is doing in or with Paramount now we will see the effect later. You might not like how he is going about things now but the result might turn out good. You may like how he is going about things, but the result might turn out bad. Time will tell. David Ellison might end up being a blessing or a curse. And Paramount buying WB might end up being the best deal or a nightmarish deal. Time will be the judge.

Na by September, which makes everything a year, I go rate em performance... that's it 🤷. For now, I just dey observation mode.


2.) As for Netflix, I never said I hated Netflix, I said, as a DC Fan, I don't trust Netflix. Marvel fans have had enormous experience of Marvel films grossing billions while DC Films suffered, and now that, under Gunn, we are seeing light at the end of the tunnel in relation to DC Films probably getting the opportunity to gross billions, Netflix wants to swop in and probably take that opportunity from us due to their zero policy on lengthy theatrical releases. Nah!!!

Talking about Greta Gerwig's Narnia, she's an anomaly, and you don't make a case from an anomality. Because Netflix agreed to her doesn't necessarily mean they will agree to another. They might, they may not, and probability isn't something I want to run with. And even if they agree for DC Films, how sure are we that they won't renege in the future?

Netflix laid emphasis on the fact that they would focus on streaming, and if they go theatrical, it's going to be a short theatrical window, 30 to 45 days to be exact, which isn't bad or that bad, but can we trust Netflix to stick to that model or arrangements? Maybe they will, maybe they won't. This is where my fears of Netflix comes in, it's about probability, and as I earlier said, that's not something I want to run with.

Netflix, to me, can't be trusted. But what about Paramount? They can be trusted with lengthy theatrical releases due to being proponents of it. So it's up to DC Studios to utilize that and do the needful.

DC Studios will function independently or semi-independently from Paramount Pictures just like it did with WB Pictures, so if David Ellison decides to be incompetent with Paramount Pictures' releases, it won't affect DC Studios, which will be handled by Gunn as far as the financial resources is always made available. So the only concern I have with David Ellison will be, will he always make the financial resources available? I believe the answer is yes, because DC is a cash cow and David Ellison will be willing to milk it as far as it delivers.

Truth is, I don't care about Paramount, WB or Netflix, I only care about DC....

There's nothing David Ellison has done of late that signals he's competent or capable of running a major studio like WB. Paramount Global he acquired some months back is even a minnow compared to WB and he hasn't shown any confidence in that venture that breeds optimism.
Hence, his desperation for WB. I mean, man just got his hands on one of the major studios of Hollywood and few months in he's desperately trying to buy another one. Overpricing every damn time. Same way he overpaid for UFC hosting rights in US for Paramount plus.

What does that tell you? It's someone who just finally had a good look at the business he just acquired and see how bleak it is. He can actually reposition Paramount but that will take years to come to fruition, 3 yrs at the least, but we can see he's not someone to take that hard and dutiful route. Instead he loves the easy way out.

Yes, most people know the slate of Paramount is still works of the past administration...no one's dumb, but the actions of Ellison since he's taken over speaks volumes. This are what people look at.

Paramount has a shitty slate already, what do they do, cancel Aang: The Last Airbender slated for a theatrical release and pushed to streaming. The same "we believe in theatres" anthem.

On running WB to the ground....uhm, Time Warner, AOL, AT&T and now Discovery all had good plans of making success with WB but couldn't. I mean WB has been passed around more times than your local street runs_g@l. They all planned to make money and the story remains the same. AT&T spent $85bn to acquire WB in 2018, they sold/merged with Discovery paying $40bn in 2023. And here we are, a few years down the line. The Ellisons won't be the last to me.

This is a Paramount and WB that are struggling with a declining cable networks business. So that business segment is definitely going to be a loss leader. Now someone combined two at once. Same entity everyone is trying to spin off. Universal spun off their cable and networks business to Versant. WBD actually has the same plans with spinning off the cable to Discovery Global if they couldn't make a deal with either of Netflix or Paramount.

Paying $110bn for WB and that's not accounting for the $55bn they'd have to repay to the banks for financing this deal. We're not even talking about the interests and insurance to repay.
That's a huge financial burden that way bigger companies owning WB in the past couldn't shake off talk more of a minnow like Skydance.

And bruv, Skydance Media isn't successful or has done anything significant to compare them anywhere close to WB. They're just a co-production and financing studio. They're in the same vein as Legendary Entertainment and yet they ain't even close to Legendary in terms of success or pedigree.
They producing Top Gun: Maverick and the Mission Impossible movies and co doesn't mean they were the real producers of those films.... I mean, those films first installment are even way older than Skydance Media itself.

Co-financing movies don't mean shit compared to running a studio. Putting $25mn to co-finance a $100mn project just to get a production tag ain't mean nothing.

Correction, NBC NEWS ain't what Paramount controls. That's owned by Universal/Comcast.
What you're thinking of is probably CBS NEWS and its associated networks.

I'm clear on what I said, give someone time before you start passing judgement. Dude just took over Paramount in September last year, and people are expecting miracle. This is isn't a magic show, this is business. Give that guy time to show what he can or can not do. People should stop making assumptions or judgements rooted in sentiments.

And yes, Skydance is a successful mid-tier company, emphasis on the word, mid-tier. Whether Legendary Pictures is more successful or not is irrelevant, the emphasis is, Skydance was a successful mid-tier company, a company that made revenues and profits in a competitive industry, and guess who made it so, David Ellison. This shows he has the capacity or has a high chance of having the capacity to run Paramount.

David Ellison might end up doing a good job, he might end up not doing a good job. Time will tell, it always does. So people should stop expecting magic and let the guy do his thing. By the year's end we will know if he's a mistake or not. Shikina.

Funny enough, when Gunn took over DC, people were saying same thing, but look how that turned out.

My own be say, make people no dey make judgement based on sentiments person get with a company. I no dey support anybody here, I just dey say, make una give the guy time. Make time vindicate or judge David Ellison. Shikina 🤷.

For the NBC News, I meant to say CBS News. That was a mistake.

People are complaining that Paramount Pictures isn't worthy of owning WB because they believe Paramount is incompetent due to past performance, but then I ask, is the current leadership of paramount the same as the past leadership? Should you blame the failures of the past leadership on the current leadership? Hope you all know the current leadership took over September last year? And despite taking over September last year, you all expect them to start working miracles. Make una chill abeg and stop being unnecessarily emotional jor 🙄.

Hope say una know say the film slate for 2026 were done by the past leadership? Reasoning demands you give the current leadership time to show themselves capable. Business is not magic.

Will David Ellison do a good job? Maybe, maybe not, but I believe he has a high chance of doing a good job, thanks to his ability to found and build Skydance Media as a successful mid-tier media company. If he could do that with Skydance, I believe he has a high chance of doing it with Paramount. Make una just give the guy chance.

This Paramount WB deal might be the worst idea, and it might end up being the best idea, but the bottomline is, nobody knows, so make una keep emotions aside and let things turn out. Do you really think the Ellisons will be willing to invest billions of dollars in acquiring WB with the intention of running it to the ground? Think about that for a second.

As for the merger of Paramount+ and HBO Max, we all know that won't happen. Corporate greed will not let it. Why merge the streaming platform and earn from only one when you can let birth exist and earn from both. Remember WB wanted doing same with Discovery+ and HBO Max but they reversed on that decision. Netflix intended to do same, but made a 360 degree on that decision. Paramount is just capping, when they see the money they are sacrificing, they will change cause, watch out. They aren't the first, and won't be the last.

Personally I'm happy that Netflix isn't acquiring WB because of their zero policy on lengthy theatrical releases, something that will affect DC Films. Do you think DC fans wants to see their dreams of seeing JL movies, Superman movies and movies of prominent DC characters grossing billions taken away from them because of Netflix zero tolerance for lengthy theatrical releases? The answer is a big fat NO. I rather any other company own WB than Netflix. I don't trust that streaming company.

Time will tell how things will unfold; for better or for worse. But las las una go dey alright.

But the twist be say, with this acquisitions, the Ellisons will be the biggest controller of America's news media. Imagine controlling NBC News and CNN... omoh 🤯. I see NBC News becoming a conservative media with time, while CNN remains liberal... this guys will be pulling the move Vought Corporation did with their VNN and VBC News 😂.

On the news this morning... 🌚

I have never been a person to support party but rather candidates, but I have to make it clear that in this midterms, I'm supporting the DEMs to win. They have to. Trump needs to be impeached or threatened with impeachment. He is ruining the system that established and strengthened America's global dominance with his international, Greenland, Canada/ Alberta etc stunts. He needs people that will set him straight with impeachment or impeachment threat. The GOP lawmakers lack the balls and interest to do that, but the DEMs lawmakers have and are, all they need is the majority in the Senate and House of Reps. The country will fare better in the hands of JD Vance or any other President or Acting President.

The GOP were needed in 2024 to address the issue of radical woke (in pro woke, but when it's taken too far, that's a no), forced radical gender ideologies, cancel culture etc, now the DEMs are needed in 2026 to address the problem of Trump ruining the world order essential to America's global dominance. As I always say and will always say, Trump is a nasty person. There's a reason I supported Kamala Harris in 2024.

I don't see myself changing my mind, as a matter of fact, I aren't changing my mind. Trump needs check and balance to prevent America's global collapse, and only a congress with DEMs majority can ensure that.

Jason Momoa's Lobo intro in Supergirl...

abduleez1:
Yeah, Mister Miracle series is in the DCU.
Yep, Darkseid is very much in play now, which I'm suspecting a buildup to a Darkseid War event leading to 2030.

Just remains resolving who'd be the DCU Batman and knowing when to releas the movie because of Matt's delay complicating things.
Wonder Woman is rumoured to turn up soon enough, probably in Man of Tomorrow.

So far, DC is in good hands creative wise. The projects now needs to start flowing and we'd closely watch the box office performance this year to see how we stand.

SUPERGIRL release date isn't really looking too favourable now with that much competition around that date. Let's see sha.

I don't know if anyone else noticed it yet, 2026 kinda looks like a weak year for WB but that 2027 slate looks like an invasion by Warner Bros. That year is really looking like WB going all out to win the box office. On paper, that is looking like how 2019 was for Disney... A WB domination will feed the streets for two years straight.

This is why I aren't a fan of Netflix-WB deal due to Netflix short theatrical release model. With such the dream of seeing a Justice league movie, Superman movie and movies of prominent DC characters grossing billions would be negatively impacted. I'm only in support of the deal if they allow lengthy theatrical releases for DC.

But I read that Netflix Co-CEO, Ted, talked about being in support of 45 days theatrical releases for WB films. If that is true, then I will say Netflix can have WB.


As for Batman, yeah you're right. Matt Reeves is just delaying things. Let him release his The Batman 2, so that we can move forward with The Brave and the Bold. Na him dey hold Batman intro into the DCU, and by extension, Justice league movie. It's just the Trinity that is holding things.

I think Wonder Woman will come into the DCU in the Amazon series, Paradise Lost. That's where I anticipate Gunn to introduce her. I don't see that happening in Superman 2, maybe except in a cameo.

Regarding the Darkseid Invasion/ War saga, to me that sounds too cliche. That storyline has been done a lot, alongside Crisis on Infinite Earths. Even the concluded DCAMU had it and the latter, and the Snyderverse/ Snyder-DCEU was going with that saga also. I believe they should have explored other saga/ stories like Our Worlds at War/ Imperiex War, Sinestro Corps War, Dominators Invasion/ Invasion!, Zero Hour: Crisis in Time, Underworld Unleashed, Day of Judgement, Armageddon/ Armageddon 2001 etc with Darkseid Invasion/ War being the next saga after that. Give people something new. But anyways, it's Gunn's choice at the end of the day 🤷. Make we dey watch as things go go.

As far as she's happy and good with it, no wahala. "Her body, her choice". 😎

True, her choice of projects might have a hand to do with her being hyper sexualized but I still feel there's a sense of jealousy and agenda tied to Sweeney. Her case just seem like a unique one of people looking for a scapegoat.

Margot Robbie to me is almost exactly as Sweeney is presently; she was a sex symbol building her way up Hollywood before being a powerhouse now. The difference I just see is that Sweeney has some mad milkers that's way too distracting and putting that part away is just too hard for fans especially with her consecutive "sexy films". And people are just hypocrites. Robbie has small frame and everything but got good looks going for her as well as top acting chops. But Sweeney, wey no even fine reach Robbie, people just dey vex for her endowment and how they feel she kinda climbed the ladder to stardom way too early. That's the hidden hate I feel most of these online trolls feel. "She never worked hard for it". Her rise is insane, notably for the major stars in Euphoria.

I've seen enough of Sweeney to know she's good and has a potential to do more. Watched her in Reality and my perspective of her changed and I know it's that stereotype she's trying to fight that's why she pushed hard to be in that film CHRISTY.
But people no really appreciate her effort. How many people even watched the film whether na through pirated platforms or not, talkless of theatres. The fact is the project isn't really attractive in the first place. Poorly marketed, little to no marketing, wetin dem dey expect.

Even me that is a supposed huge Sweeney fan never still watch the film despite seeing it available for download months ago. There's no sauce to the film. At least I tried to watch something in that nun horror movie she put out few years ago.

In all honesty that film CHRISTY is a very niche indie film cos how many people actually give AF about the person she's portraying. How many people want to watch a female boxer biopic? How many popular female boxers people know sef. Is boxing seen as a female participated sports? Who's the audience. Playing a female football star even has a higher margin of winning at the box office than a female boxer.
Who even Sabi am sef for the same America. No be The Rock do similar thing few months ago and still ultimately flopped with the acclaimed director, studio, marketing and all?

People go still talk wetin dem like. Na just to do wetin favour you for this life. If you say you wan dey look people mouth you go just dey cry. People will surely find another excuse to discredit a person they don't like.

At least people are talking about how Dwayne Johnson pushed himself in the new project and his acting chops. But how many people have even come out to recognise Sweeney's acting. Na only the films flop dem dey focus on.

The funny thing might just be, all these things na online e dey and doesn't translate to real life.

I'm not saying Sweeney has no part to play in all this. Sure she's marketed herself as that hot girl in town. The modern day Marilyn Monroe. The truth is Hollywood always need or want that figure at each particular era. And she's the perfect candidate.
She's put herself as that "It girl" and so far it's working for her, no qualms. If e no work again, she go pivot. She's young and have the time. Also has the innate potential, so nothing spoil.

But either ways man, we actually have a need for an actress that can go all out and do the impossible roles, nudity and all. Give the people what they want.


The only projects I feel people have pretty good excuse to claim only the rare quality of the brand helped a film make money, being more important than the stars are for animated projects. That's because the stars faces aren't seen except for their voices which I might not be looking out for in such medium except heavily marketed.

Being an adaptation to a very popular book, game, or IP isn't really guaranteed success. Many factors also play into it. If not, we suppose no see Han Solo flopped massively at the BO that year. MCU movies and all the massive goodwill shouldn't also be flopping hard now especially with all the branding and carry job that the studio set up in earlier films. We no even supposed dey discuss whether SUPERMAN go make good money or not.

So when films flop or win big at the box office I want to see dues paid to the stars, directors and filmmakers involved. Not when things go awry na go dey find who to scapegoat. When e win, we also want to see praise for those involved not just the studios.

For me I don't see any yeye boycotting for anybody here movies. I just see low quality films with little pay off or juice to drag fans in and they rightly flopped in a depressed market.
Now she's winning and people wan dey twist am say dem don comot am from boycott. Who she kill wey dem wan boycott am. If them boycott am for America shey dem boycott am for Europe or Latin America.

This agenda no just dey flow with me. All her flops aren't really even top billed serious films for box office glory, so it's pretty much funny seeing people make a mountain out of her recent flops.

Na you just dey bother yourself dey explain too much. People are just bitter and hence are looking for who to mess up or drag in other to make themselves feel good. Lots of top actors and filmmakers have had seasons of flops, so who the hell is Sydney Sweeney. Failure is part of life and the entertainment business, and if one wants to succeed in that industry they have to accept that reality. Success comes, but not often, there are going to be moments of failures. It happens.

As for her controversy due to the American Eagle ads. What was wrong with the ads that cry babies were ranting all over the place. So using WORD PLAYS to pass across a fashion brand message is now a sin... mtcheewww. As I said, people are just bitter, and hence they derive pleasure and self esteem in pulling down other people.

It's good that she's hit this success. More of that to come, alongside flops. It's part of the reality of the industry.

Diverting to DC, I heard Gunn has declared the upcoming Mister Miracle series as canon, which means Darkseid is in the DCU. I believe Gunn is planning on a Darkseid Invasion/ War saga 👁️...

So, only Deadline Articles has access to confidential informations right
You see how you dey think... A smart person could have mention this other media house called Rent something like that to make it feel like two media houses are saying same thing instead despite Rent lean towards WB DCU..
From culumbus Business First and Ohio: budget is $363m alone... Anywhere you like go search for Man of Steel own come too...
Funny of it the two bodies I mentioned here have better integrity than the one you mentioned...so who should reasonable people trust

Baba post the link to the deadline article. You posted an image of deadline, an image that isn't on any deadline website or article. Now I'm asking you to vindicate yourself by posting the link, you're here ranting okoto.... But what does one expect from Snyderbots conspiracy theorists. Imagine being so desperate to the point you start posting edited pictures 🙄😂

Always going to unreliable sources to get informations, one that Gunn and reputable media outlets have debunked, and you expect people to take you serious... keep on being a joke... 🙄🤣

Omoh, this argument don tire me abeg. This is the last time I will respond to you, unless you say something reasonable, one backed by data from Gunn or reputable media outlets. Otherwise, continue with your delusion. I'm done.

But the fact remains, Superman is a financial and critical success thanks to breaking even, making profits, and having positive critical and audience receptions. Deal with that reality...

Bye bye... I can't continue wasting my time talking with a unhinged Snyderbots conspiracy theorists that only conceive, beliefs and spread lies... 🙄. At first, it was fun, now it's just boring.

Mtcheewww... honestly, this is getting stale. At first it was fun, but now it's boring. It seems you don't have any case. All your claims are not supported by Gunn, reputable media outlets, and Superman review and rating scores... nothing. The fact remains, Superman is a financial and critical success thanks to breaking even, making profits, and having positive critical and audience receptions. Deal with that reality...

If you're going to continue like this, I don't see myself responding to you.

Post the link to the deadline article, or forget about quoting me... 🙄

Calm down, them no dey rush...
Na small small we dey use catch mvnkey
Okay answer this, did James Gunn lied on the leaks plot or not when varies media reports on the movie plot and even went ahead to say the guy on black suit was actually Ultraman

In other words, no evidence from reputable media outlets or Gunn inner circle. Conspiracy theorists 😂😂😂😂😂

By the way, I'm still waiting for the link to the deadline article. Liars 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤪
