The DC Studios co-chief admits that the executive role wasn’t quite right for him and looks forward to returning to filmmaking full time.

This sounds like massive cope from someone who’s produced nothing but flops for DC
bro what are you smoking?
Supergirl did badly, that means everything did badly because some people have the attention span of a gerbil.
What did well? And if things were so profitable, why fire him?
Because of the sky dance merger. Trumps billionaire friend hates James Gunn and Peter Safran because of them using white nationalist antagonists.
If you haven’t noticed, the maga losers hate getting made fun of or having their beliefs shown for what they are.
The new season of Reacher was supposed to be him fighting a white supremist group and it got squashed. Apple TV had a Jessica Chastain movie about the rising threat of white nationalism and they were both cancelled when white christian nationalists couped the government.
Prepare for white maga superman to be coming
Sneak peek of new Skydance DCU:
kal-el and darkseid finally meet the angels of dcu and repents, or something like that.
peacemaker was all about anti-white supremecy , at least the 1st season.
Correct. Which is the reason that James Gunn was targeted for firing. That is what we are talking about
Lanterns and peacemaker
And the new Superman, while Clayface is apparently doing well.
Turns out the guy just didn’t even know Gunn’s universe was different from the ones coming out literally a decade ago.
he did not know snyder made the other films?
peacemaker was better.
I was talking about movie’s since it’s almost impossible to find revenue numbers for TV shows (at least without paying). However, even if they were a success, that still doesn’t look good for the DCEU against all is movie flops.
Compared to the Marvel flops?
Gunn had 50% success with DC. Marvel has been near 100% failure. Everything is pinned on Doom digging them out of their hole.
with the amount of DOOM trailers, im not surprised its disney “last real project” they had pulled back other MCU films. Marvel had pretty decent shows prior to disney’s takeover and the slopification.
Oh wow, so we need to compare Gunn to an even greater failure in order to make him look good now?
Given that he has one of the highest success ratios in Hollywood, yes.
If this was Baseball, you’d be complaining that Babe Ruth was a failure because he only got on base 47% of the time. In European units, you’d say Harry Kane is a failure because he only scores 10% of the time.
too much weed broke his brain.
What are you smoking? DC has had 13 flops almost back to back…
lol
Bro you don’t even understand the conversation because you’re literally stuck in 2016.
Please, enlighten me.
Suicide Squad reboot was solid. Which led directly to Peacemaker, which is very good. Creature Commandos was good. Superman reboot was good. Peacemakers S2 was good. Lanterns was good and finally doing something with Lantern lore. Clayface is getting good early reviews too. Supergirl got mid reviews, but I generally see people say it was decent with poor execution.
That is a solid slate of media. With Superman 2 and Batman projects being in the works.
You thinking that they’re good doesn’t matter when they clearly did not do well enough to justify keeping Gunn. They fired him.
Them being actually good is what made them good. DCU had active and regular good buzz after a decade plus of being a joke.
Its disingenuous to see the studio get bought out by the infamously ultra conservative Ellison family who are purchasing and censoring all forms of media they can and just go ‘clearly did not do well enough.’
And if we’re being persnickety, ‘fired’ is incorrect. Still bad imo, but not the same. But ‘X happened, therefore it must have been justified financially’ is baloney. Especially since the guy they replaced him with has a policy of making things his ‘grandmother would like’, famously a top demo for superhero media.
Also lets look at the usual Enshittification process when mergers like this happen. It happened when Warner was sold to Discovery and now Paramount. This is their MO.
This is a bullshit statement. You can’t say that they’re good just because you say so.
Even if that is true, it hasn’t made money.
I don’t like them either but It’s not difficult to find the numbers. It didn’t do well.
He was fired. He wasn’t even given time to see Superman through.
Again, the numbers are easy to find. And we don’t know what the additional costs of making these movies are, usually we don’t see numbers for marketing and other expenses. A move can’t just make a little bit of profit to be sustainable and only one of the three Gunn movies has made back its budget. I’m not sure what the point of taking about his replacement is? I mean I don’t like that ideology but it’s Gunn that’s failed here.
I mean sure, but my argument was about Gunn, not how much worse it’s probably going to get with Skydance.
