From his work in the MCU I had high hopes, and was definitely rooting for him. But the DCU seems just as lazy, thrown together, disorganized and without direction as the DCEU. Tragic.
Whats your honest take on James Gunn’s DCU so far?
My view: the early slate showed some potential but I just don't think Gunn has what it takes. He's not built for the big A-list names...he's limited to his Guardians template that only works well with C or D-tier characters.
I always say the 90’-2000’s was the pinnacle of black movies! Where you had these amazing stories with a black main character and they didn’t have to go out of the way to tell us! Take me back!
🗽Nerd News!🐉: Recently the 1st issue of a Black written and owned superhero/tokusatsu inspired indie comic/manga, “Street Knights”, has been released online. This series is being published by Godhood comics.

Rewatched episode 3 of Lanterns and I still can’t believe they actually ran with that origin for John.
The message is so dark and irresponsibly constructed: that Black parents have to resort to abusing their own children to prepare them for some invisible white boogeyman.
And what makes it worse is that this was written by people operating from the privilege of Hollywood. Who assume all black people are taught to fear white men
My God… why do they think this is what Black people want to see?
The problem with these white-liberal-influenced Black writers and creators is that some of their most extreme stories about racism aren’t even their experiences they’re secondhand stories they’ve been taught to interpret through a political lens.
Then the cycle begins: exaggerated stories get regurgitated, amplified, and eventually presented as unquestionable “lived Black experience.”
The uncomfortable truth? Some people aren’t documenting racism they’re competing to perform Black trauma the loudest. And Hollywood rewards it.
