    If someone reads “best comic book movie ever”, written by someone else and then assumes that they will also think it’s the best comic book movie ever and ends up disappointed… that’s on them.

     

    People need to start making up their own minds lol


    True but that's what the marketing for this has been since start of the year. Looks like WB learnt nothing from the MoS/BvS-SS 2016 era that it can backfire easily too.

    From my experience, a lot of the Film Twitter types who go on about how much Marvel movies suck seem to make an exception when it comes to James Gunn. I guess they believe his films have more heart to them. 

     

    That’s not to say that Gunn doesn’t have vocal detractors on Twitter, but they tend to be the Snyderverse people who are mad about Henry Cavill. 


    Funny because the Pac-Man scene from Vol.2 and the dance-off from the first were hated on back when they released.

    They shouldn't be... People might just be a bit burned and letdown by MCU. I think Ant-man was a big blow. Wakanda Forever had restored some faith then that happened. There's absolutely no reason to be worried about Gunn. Unless you mean just worried about the state of superheroes movies maybe still making nice money but nothing close to what they were making in the boom there? It's possible that will be a thing... Even the next Batman and Spider-man movies could run into that and those two are biggest superheroes in movies pretty comfortably.

     

    I think his Superman will be pretty refreshing and probably break out more than any of the Superman movies that have come out since, well, the original two long, long ago.

     

    If you actually get Superman right and it's fun, it can be pretty huge. Not Batman and Spider-man huge but very, very big. I think he can capture the sense of fun. Whatever that latest Superman was and even the Singer one... Neither really captured a sense of fun... Neither really even tried to... They were busy doing other things and living in the heavy messianic junk that's kind of boring and even antiquated really.

     

    Until he starts to really trip up, I have faith in Gunn. His track record in superhero stuff since Vol. 1 is pretty impressive.


    I mean Shazam 2 bombed out of the gate, Ant-Man 3 failed to match the first movie's gross. If a well received GoTG Vol.3 under performs that's a bad sign for both studios. Superman Legacy would be lucky to match MoS numbers and that was coming right after peak DC era of TDK, while Avengers/Iron Man 3 were breaking box office records in that year span.
