It’s depressingly prophetic that this stirring speech, which captures the beating heart of what makes Superman so enduring and great, is delivered to an anti-social, out of touch billionaire who refuses to acknowledge its sincerity and power out of pure spite.
People believing the Ellison spin about box office performance issues while they still make sure to sneak in some shit about “capturing the zeitgeist”, “cultural impact”, and “values to believe in” just tells me a lot of you are very very bad at pinging right wing dog whistles
Characters like Mr. Terrific will never get another chance to capture the hearts of the general audience because people are obsessed with seeing *The Avengers* (2012) in a different coat of paint.
Bingo.
Ironman 1 was seen as a respectable success with a 584M grossing box office, even in the midst of all the Raimi Spider-Man movies that each made way more and The Dark Knight making over a billion that same year.
Imagine if early 2000s Paramount decided to just pull the plug on them the very next year after Hulk’s underperformance or even the years after that as Thor 1 couldn’t bring in even 100M in profit alone and Cap 1 could only rake in 20M in profit.
The MCU was given the time and space to make movies with lukewarm box office numbers for years, cultivating an audience which eventually paid off in Avengers.
It’s funny how this is going to be used as ammunition for Ellison to prove that Gunn needed to step down and he’s making the right call by prioritizing heavy hitters… as if we didn’t find out literally YESTERDAY that this was already GUNN’S PLAN😭
We were just informed that Man of Tomorrow would introduce Wonder Woman who’d later get her own movie, Brave and The Bold was set to release in 2028, and future Superman films would branch out into a Justice League movie.
Ellison is literally just taking Gunn’s ideas and calling it his own to make himself look better.
باختصار سبب طرد جيمس غن مو فشل العالم او موضوع ارباح، السبب هو فلم سوبرمان هو والاسقاطات اللي سواها فيه على الصهاينة وتواطئ الامريكان معهم والمدير التنفيذي لباراماونت يهودي صهيوني وشخصية مثل سوبرمان وغيرها من شخصيات عالم دي سي اكيد ما راح يخلوها ضد توجهاتهم السياسية
That’s the thing im upset about, you can say what you want but James Gunn is clearly passionate about DC comics and we’re going from passion at the forefront to political agendas and corporate greed
Unfortunately just something I can not get behind
Iron Man, Thor, and the first Captain America were not massive box office successes, the MCU didn't achieve anything MASSIVE until that first Avengers movie
Also Supergirl??? Y'all remember the Hulk in 2008? Cut the bs
Here in Cape Town, when you see the words R122m and a politician in the same sentence. It’s either to build a a hotel, a wall or they stole/lost it somehow. Yah ne
Will never forget that little boy in the movie holding up the flag to call on Superman to save them. Despite the bad guys with tanks and guns approaching him. I teared up every single time when watching the movie
Alors je veux bien Superman n'a pas tapé le milliard mais dire que le film n'a eu aucun impact sur la pop culture alors que la trend hope core a été la plus grande trend de l'été dernier c'est se foutre un peu du monde
Claiming Superman 2025 had no cultural impact is just a straight up lie, hope-core posting and “the new punk rock” DOMINATED social media after this dropped. They’re genuinely just mad that impact leaned left.
New DC Studios boss Jeremy Latcham revealed to the Christian Broadcasting Network that he used to ask himself whether his grandmother would enjoy the Marvel movies he was developing
“I'd always say, I don’t know if my grandma would like that"
When her church drew parallels between ‘Iron Man’ and redemption during a sermon, he knew the film was connecting with audiences
