Okay blasphemy aside. James Gunn has sole creative control over the projects. He dictates what it what. The pope is answerable to a magisterium who ensure that he operates within the dogma and rules of the church. They’re fundamentally different. Gunn is a retard with too many toys and the Pope is a man saddling the responsibility of the church. You’re using a terrible false equivalence fallacy just to try and get a gotcha.
You're right about one thing the Gunntards will, like the Snydertards attack the new management and demand that their respective verses come back.
DC doesn't have one group and now two, it has three. Synder, Gunn and the new universe fans when it comes out.
A hard reboot is necessary. Gunn was extremely inconsistent on everything, one second there was a canon the next there wasn't. DC needs direction, if burning it all down and starting again fixes it then do it.
It's not loving suffering, maybe now we'll actually get some respect for the source material. We might get a Superman who represents hope, a Batman who is dark but isn't brooding as Bruce Wayne, a Hal Jordan who doesn't have daddy issues, a John Stewart who isn't a racist, a Wonder Woman who inspires people.
Heroes who are at their core, actually heroes.
I was happy when Snyder's verse was canceled and I'm happy now that Gunn's is. Hopefully this next one is good, if not, then I'll be happy when that one goes too.
If you think James Gunn leaving DC Studios means the fandom can finally unite and move forward, you’re living in a fantasy.
We’ve just DOUBLED the problem!
Snyder fans will keep demanding the Snyderverse, while Gunn fans will attack the new leadership exactly the way Snyder fans attacked Gunn.
Before, DC had one group fighting against its direction. Now it has TWO.
And to those calling for a HARD REBOOT… Seriously? You want another 3 YEARS of movies knowing they have no future, no continuity, and no sequels, while waiting for yet another universe to be built from scratch?
Did you learn NOTHING the first time?
You people must LOVE suffering.
And the hypocrisy is unbelievable. You hated seeing your universe abandoned, yet you’re perfectly happy to see it happen to someone else’s.
Absolutely ridiculous. #DCU #JamesGunn #Skydance #warnerrobinsga
@vsad_vsadovsky Nothing was coherent. One second lanterns is all canon the next second it’s else worlds then it’s partially canon and you’ll have to watch Superman to find out which parts. Supergirl was tonally grey. Superman was all over the place.
He was a man without a plan and it showed.
Not when his rhetoric isn’t apology and shame. He’s doubling down. What I said wasn’t inaccurate also if a Catholic was shown to be guilty of this you can bet money that he’d not show them any grace.
Not to mention it’s extremely unethical meanwhile him preaching ethics and morality. I’ll call out a liar and hypocrite any day.
Furthermore what I said was the blunt truth.
Critics loved it but it made no money. Imagine that. They’re so out of touch with what the public want and fail to understand that they aren’t the target audience.
James Gunn was so "pro art" and "creative autonomy and freedom" that he..
1. Hired his GOTG editor to re-edit Gillespie's Supergirl film, with a mandate to make it more in line with GOTG
2. Decided what score they would use in the film
3. Shelved Gillespie's cut and released the studio version
4. Hired a new Writer to rewrite Flanagan's Clayface script to the point that it was far removed from what he had originally conceived, according to Flanagan himself.
Nothing about this screams "creative freedom". Gunn was very hands on with every aspect of the DCU. Stop trying to paint an image that isnt true.
