DCEU straight garbage

smh...

MOS - decent enough movie. solid watch.

BVS - it was disjointed. movie had its flaws. But overall it was cool. Should have been better. But it showed the possibilities of the DCEU, if they jus learn from their mistakes. And made a few corrections. All was not lost.

SS - utter and complete dumpster fire. I would have walked out of the theatre, if I paid to see that shit. Jus a complete shit show. This movie was shockingly bad.

WW - If they cant get WW right. sigh. I don't know. I cant front, I want it to be good tho. I think the character deserves her own GOAT solo film.

JL - I almost expect this to NOT live up to the hype. my expectations are low goin in.

The Batman - I expect Affeck to do his thing. This should be good....

But if DC cant atleast get WW and Batman solo films right. they might as well say fuck it. throw in the towel, close shop and concede defeat.

Shit I though Suicide Squad was better than BvS and that's not saying much. Both movies were ass.

Alan Horn HAS to be laughing right now. In case you don't know he's the exec that last brought WB to prominince before bailing for Disney.

So after being instrumental in shepharding the Dark Knight Trilogy and Harry Potter movies the guy goes to Disney and helps with strengthening Marvel and Star Wars into the juggernauts they now are.

Meanwhile his replacement at WB is fucking hopeless. Affleck was DCEU's major coup. If he dips it's like if RDJ left the MCU after The Avengers. DC HAS to be all sorts of embarrassed right now.

didn't need any help

Yes it did. It's easy to forget now but SW's popularity was waning before Disney bought Lucasfilm. The prequels received a lot of ill will and hurt the franchise's reputation and growth potential.

It's a reason why no network even wanted to buy the live action tv series Lucas was proposing. People like Horn talking Disney into purchasing it and focusing on pure fan service gave the property a new lease on life.
 
so um. Has Affleck came out and denied the rumor that he wants to get out his DC contract?

If not that is pretty much confirmation that the rumor is true.

If he really wants out, and I think he does. You won't hear any news on this until after Justice League. If it broke that he was stepping down Wonderwoman and Justice League are dead on arrival.

 
Mel is rumored to be the front runner for Suicide Squad sequel director. My guess is of he says no RDJ could help squeeze him on a Marvel joint. I don't think Mel really likes superhero movies though.

Right on the money.
 
I don't think it's true that Ben is leaving. My guess is he wants a break from it for a while and someone misinterpreted it. What if WW and JL are huge successes that revitalize a franchise?
 


"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has another vocal detractor: Mel Gibson.

“It’s a piece of shit,” the 60-year-old director told Deadline at the Venice Film Festival. “I’m not interested in the stuff. Do you know what the difference between real superheroes and comic-book superheroes is? Real superheroes didn’t wear spandex. So I don’t know. Spandex must cost a lot.”

The DC Comics blockbuster, which was panned by critics, came up when Gibson revealed the modest budget he worked with on his latest film “Hacksaw Ridge.”

“The exchange rate for the U.S. dollar was good at the time, and I think we locked in at about 72 cents on the dollar and took a $27 million budget and turned it into a $40 million budget,” he said.

He then confirmed the budget for his last film, “Apocalypto,” clocked in around $30 million before admitting he doesn’t think movies that cost $200+ million to produce are worth it.

“I look at them and scratch my head. I’m really baffled by it. I think there’s a lot of waste, but maybe if I did one of those things with the green screens I’d find out different,” Gibson said. “It seems to me that you could do it for less… You’re spending outrageous amounts of money, $180 million or more, I don’t know how you make it back after the tax man gets you, and after you give half to the exhibitors.”
