It's a little late to pretend those other movies didn't happen. Unless they start over from scratch... which we know isn't happening. It was a shared universe. We've had multiple WB suits come and say they're not bothering with a connected universe anymore and going standalone. Obviously that's not gonna stop people from continuing to call these movies 'DCEU'. Force of habit I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force of habit I guess And you believe the WB suits...😅.You know all the standalone talk is just for the press and so they can keep options open and be more flexible with the DCEU and not restricted and tied down like the MCU....Ever thought of that? WB suits will probably claim the same tattooed up Harley that appears in BOP is different from the Suicide Squad 1 and 2 versions and people will believe.....

Darth Lehnsherr Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Yeah it's not that hard to understand IMO. They're all in the same universe but they aren't going to bother crossing the franchises over or make references to each other at least in the near future. I've always believed the DC Films currently succeed or fail purely on their own merits and has little to do with how the previous DC Film did unless it's a direct sequel. How Shazam is doing won't have much of an impact on how Birds of Prey does next year or how Birds of Prey will definitely not have a major impact on how WW84 does. Different from how the Avengers films tends to elevate most of the other MCU films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just your opinion, which carries zero weight. See, we all have opinions here, of course (that's mainly what this thread and clubs are for), but we also learn and analyze. We do this stuff in a mostly intelligent matter. Posts like this just pollute the forum. They have no place here.

poweranimals Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 A part of me wonders if Disney released the Endgame tickets the same week that Shazam came out intentionally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lehnsherr Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 http://collider.com/marvel-movies-after-avengers-endgame Feige noted that confirming Marvel’s mere presence at San Diego Comic-Con, which runs from July 18-21, would count as an Endgame spoiler. “I don’t wanna be annoying, but I think it … In a certain way, that is also sort of a post-Endgame spoiler,” Feige said Whether X-Men or Fantastic Four reboots will have to start from scratch? Quote “Probably. Probably, only because, as you’ve heard me say before, until it was all done, we literally couldn’t do anything. So essentially, it’s sort of Day One. But during that time, we have built and fleshed out our five-year plan of where we’re heading, the first few years of which we’ll be announcing, as I said, relatively soon, after these next two movies.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
