Zaslav has name dropped the MCU as the model they are trying to replicate at least 6 times since the beginning of the year. They are still chasing the MCU and they always will cause that's the success they want. Gotg had an elgreat woman but also had a 120 million opening. It wouldn't happen if it wasn't in association with the brand. The last 6 MCU movies have opened with 100+ million. Eternal which lost money opened with 80, a bunch of z listens at best. The MCU brand power drives those openings. That's what Zaslav wants.

When did I say that I didn't have interest in DC films? My entire point is that the ga audience has lost interest and the accumulated damage DC has done to its brand it's more long term than people think. Unless somebody you want to debate whether most DC films if the past 25-30 years have been failures or extremely controversial. Which isn't really debatable. The Batman was my favorite cbms of 2022 and I loved yes and the first Wonder Woman. This isn't about me, it's about the indifference of the general audience

no because the MCU is the most successful franchise of all time and they have a goodwill amassed over 15 years. A couple of poorly received films isn't gonna erase all the successful ones. Almost 70% of DC films are either panned, flopped or both. It's a completely different scenario than f4 which won't blow the roof either. I doubt anyone at marvel expects more than 500-600 million

You did not just use freaking Batman and Joker as examples of the DC brand NOT being damaged. The two most popular DC characters along with superman. If a batman movie or a joker movie had flopped then DC would be in even WORSE shape than I thought it would be. The only legit example here is aquaman and it's just one example over so many characters flopping or underperforming. The worst performing mcu movie still outgrossed most DC movies in the past 5 years. There is legit DC brand damage

No, there isn't. Not with all the duds DC has put out. There would be in 2008 before Green Lantern, Jonah hex and the dceu. That's like saying there is bigger interest for a dark universe now after the Mummy flopped. There isn't. Or a bigger transformer interest now cause the bay movies were bad. Yet Bumblebee barely broke even and Rise of the Beasts isn't looking too hot right now? Why, cause of brand damage...

Some of you here brushing off consecutive DC movies underperformance as "more proof than Gunn needed to reboot" is very tunnel visioned. If this underperforms and then aquaman after it then, why would audiences be excited and invested in another shared DC universe, the third attempt in 13 years? Continuous damage to the brand isn't gonna erased if Legacy is successful. There is an entire generation of people who has connected DC with lesser quality with only few movies in the past 25 years being well received and successful. Seriously, it's only the Dark Knight Trilogy, wonder woman, joker, batman, aquaman and maybe shazam. 8 movies in 30 years!!!!

What is music exactly? The president of DC who has a massive stakes in every DC related project being successful and especially this one which resets the entire universe, praised the film? He is the most biased one for a number of reasons. The whole "Gunn is Transparent" and never lies to the fans is bs. There are numerous occasions where he has lied.

Bvs was such a disappointment that it caused an internal wb and DC shift with John's and Berg taking control. It literally caused executives to be replaced. That's a pretty big sign of the movie causing damage. Also suicide squads reception was one of the main reasons birds of prey flopped. Also mos grossed 660 million on a 225 budget. Just because the movies after Snyder bombed it doesn't mean that the movies under him weren't disappointments. Justice league opening weekend kept track g lower each week without anyone knowing about the whole Whedon mess

ww84 audience scores are some of the worse in recent years for a cbms. it has a 5.3 on imdb, that's worse than suicide squad and on Par with dark phoenix and Morbius. So yes eternal and wuantumania got worse reviews (all 3 are rotten though) but ww84 audience scores from imdb, letterboxd and rt are legit the worse a cbm had gotten in the past 4 years

Of the movies you mentioned only Eternal and rih would fit the bill and Hulk only financially. Iron Man 2 got a worse reception than the first which happens in almost every sequel. What the internet considers good or bad is ridiculous to me as most takes aren't in good faith anymore. People have decided which movies are masterpieces months in advance. In theory Iron Man 3 is divisive. In reality there is nothing to support this.
