Coincides with James Gunn jumping ship.

I enjoyed The Suicide Squad WAY too much. It shouldn’t have worked.

It’s ‘Disney’ Marvel now.

Except that Marvel has made some awesome movies along the way and DC movies have been mostly utter crap outside of Batman

They have a lot of dreck but also:
The Batman movies, first Superman, second Suicide Squad, first Wonder Woman, first Shazam, Swamp Thing, and Joker. Are we counting Watchmen and V for Vendetta?

Depends how you want to stack the deck. Road to Perdition and The Fountain were both published by DC's Vertigo line. Constantine is a DC character as well.

That movie went hard in the paint. I don't think I've ever seen it not higher than Willie Nelson, might need a rewatch

I guess The Penguin premiering tonight will be a good way to test OPS theory.

I'll probably wait until next week when there isn't football on to check it out.

No, when they were comics DC was always the leader. Movies pushed Marvel ahead. Now their DEI policies are making their movies unwatchable.

I just watched Aquaman 2 on a flight and can assure this is not entirely true.

The only DC movies that have hit were MoS, WW, and Aquaman 1.

MoS and The Suicide squad were the outliers.

Stupid word salad with zero meaning, two of the last three movies from Marvel have been box office successes. Ant-Man and The Marvels problems weren’t from some non existent boogey man. Bad writing and poor marketing coupled with Marvel over saturating the market with media are the main causes

If I could wipe movies from existence, Man of Steel would be in the top five. Maybe not top 3, but definitely up there in needing to go away.

I mean it really is, it’s a lazy catch all term for people who only want to see at most surface level problems of the MCU. Blaming the MCU’s problems on having too many women or gays is such a shite excuse that tells me that person doesn’t know what the hell they’re talking about.

Still doesn’t mean you just didn’t throw some random buzzwords in lieu of substantive criticism
