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.
There's nothing to suggest that this guy will save the DCU considering he has the same background as Kathleen Kennedy of simply being around talented people. But crying over him being a Christian wanting to ensure the average person is entertained is so lame.

@ViHero340@SergeiKravin0ff@AGramuglia Again, that's such a ridiculous standard to ask people to live up to, nobody aside from moral busybodies like yourself is gonna do that.
@ViHero340@theNightman39@AGramuglia Do you not understand how ridiculous of a standard that is to ask of somebody?
Seriously, that standard is so fucking high, nobody is going to follow it. Not even James Gunn himself.
@ViHero340@Raptors_Stripes@AGramuglia Yes it is. Why bother wasting time making an image of James Gunn crying, when instead you can use an image of him crying that already exists?
@ViHero340@SergeiKravin0ff@AGramuglia So now we have to double check every meme someone uses before using it in a thumbnail? Do you not realize how ridiculous of a demand that is?
@rageofonazi@Saicam_Films I say scrap since there's no way they can coexist, but then again, the Gunn DCU already has tons of tonal inconsistency already, so they might as well coexist for all I know or care.
@rageofonazi@Saicam_Films To help illustrate my point, this would be like if they made a WWE cinematic universe, and after giving Randy Savage his own movie, and the next movie is based on Kamala' origin, and it's before Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Jake Roberts, Sgt. Slaughter, etc. get introduced.
@rageofonazi@Saicam_Films That's the appeal to novelty fallacy. Just because it's "a new artistic approach" doesn't mean it's a good idea. Does this mean we know have to give EVERY C-tier villain and up their own movie to explain who they are, their backstory and their motivations?
@rageofonazi@Saicam_Films It makes no sense for the first film in your cinematic universe to start after the main character(s) and the normal civvies have gotten use to the existence of supernatural stuff.
It'd be like if the MCU started at Phase 4 instead of Phase 1.
james gunn had
-full creative control as ceo
-zero studio interference from wb
-full rights to all characters, comic-books and storylines
-access to both hbo max streaming and theaters
-was taking charge during the downfall era of marvel/mcu
and he STILL FAILED
@TheCinemaSeeker And as for your second point, starting Gunn's DCU after multiple characters already established was a massive mistake. It'd be like if the MCU started at Phase 4 instead of Phase 1
