"go to hell" is boring. "I hope the company that owns the rights to your favorite characters has a blatant right wing rebrand" is real. Its terrifying. Its possible. It happened to me.
So according to Ellison:
Superman had no pop culture influence.
Lanterns didn’t capture the zeitgeist.
And Clayface, despite breaking even and still on track to make more in the box office… hasn’t broken even.
And I’m supposed to believe that none of this is just Ellison trying to save face and go against literal metrics that are available to everyone with a brain to research themselves, all to justify his firing of Gunn.
Like, truthfully, if Ellison wanted to try and run a smear campaign against his own employees that HE HIMSELF promoted to leadership positions on his company’s board… why didn’t he just fire them from jump? Why ask them to give a respectful exit that made it seem like they were stepping down but still contributing if you’re just actively going to shit on them on their way out? Does he not know how unprofessional all of this looks?
This is a hit piece, plain and simple.
Skydance wants to downplay every single project under the previous regime to prop up their hijacking of DC.
Saying that Superman had “no cultural impact”
Calling Lanterns viewership “decent” even though it was the third biggest Season 1 in HBO’s history.
Now they are saying Clayface won’t break even theatrically, even though it will make three times its budget and anyone who has been following box office knows it has turned a profit already.
These are all blatant lies, no one is falling for this bullshit and everyone sees what’s going on here.
@UsUnitedZSJL@AndrewMurdochYT@DCUBrief i’m sorry i can’t take this seriously with Zionist Woman as your header. i won’t shame you for liking what you like, but at what point does the schtick get old? it’s almost 2030 and ur talking about “ZSJL”. whether you wanna admit it or not, “ZSJL” is why DC will never recover.
not acknowledging the merger and a disdain for semi-left politics as the sole reason for Gunn's and Safran's outings is stupidity at best, and running defense for a fascist zionist corporate regime at worse
@Shadows_of_Hedg@TylerCWhitmore the only issue is that DC is such a tarnished cinematic brand. getting rid of Gunn only further divides the fandom. and it sends the message to casuals that the brand is still not worth investing into. so now you have snyder cultists and gunn supporters going against what’s next
@AndrewMurdochYT@DCUBrief it was political. you’re comparing box office during the peak cbm / mcu era to an era of cbm fatigue and a tarnished DC reputation.
This goes way past DCU & DC studios. If corporate overlords can overhaul Filmmakers artistic vision for their own views it's not just an attack on all Filmmakers but a way to suppress art
