I wish they did better job with wire works atleast - for an otherwise decent story the flying scenes look so a$$ imo.

Maybe it's just me, but I find the superhero genre's modern preoccupation with creating "guilt-free", "casualty-lite" or "consequence-free" urban carnage to be much more profoundly unsettling than asking the audience to be horrified at the thought of such destruction.

One of the funnier results of MAN OF STEEL’s (accurately terrifying) depiction of what superhero battle would look like is that every superhero movie finale now features a character saying “evacuate this city of 10M” and we’re supposed to pretend it’s empty five minutes later.

I thought Supergirl just flopped... i didnt know that it grossed this low. Holy shit.

Unless the guardians forced him into the prison. I mean a massive superman battle causes even more casualties.

I can't be the only one seeing this pattern. At this rate I'd hate to see Bruce Wayne's parents 😕

Look I saw the movie last Monday. I’m aware it wasn’t the best movie, it was at worst a 6.5 and at best a 7. I preferred the book, and I didn’t even like it that much. But all this hate for it, before it even came out makes me think this want for 1. James Gunn to fail and 2. for the DCU to fail is definitely hurting the movie. Plus the dislike for Milly Alcock as the lead and add a sprinkle of Sexism too. This subreddit seems more negative without any constructive discussion and I find it sus. Now all of a sudden everybody and their momma cares about the box office numbers for a movie they don’t even plan to see? Hm.

The fake excuses people are giving for not seeing the movie are not even believable. If you actually want the DCU to succeed then you have to see the movie for yourself. Don’t let friends, random YouTube channels with clickbait thumbnails, critic reviews, and James Gunn haters influence you.

I’m not saying that as fans of DC, we should blindly support their movie and shows. But this blind hate for this average movie is bizarre in this subreddit of people who are supposed to be at least trying to enjoy the content DC produces. The DCU is here, give them 5-10 years and see what they can do. Let them surprise you.

TLDR; I don’t believe in summaries for written posts. Go back and read what I said.

After the latest Lantern episode and it showed, how well John was trained and how the Guardians really think of Hal... how was this Guy picked as a second GL? I'm pretty sure he's not around in 2016. Something has to happen between 2016 and 2026 :D

​

The priority lies in creating spin offs of side characters.

He's written as a flawed hero who makes mistakes.

Other characters disliking Hal isn't the same as the show telling you to dislike him.

This gotta be an all time low for the DC fandom if we have to point this out.

What has been proven early on in the DC cinematic universe is that the budget does not allow for accurate representation of alien characters. Peacemakers entire first season plot was butterflies taking over humans ( allowing for least amount of CGi or make up) which is fine.

Lanterns is where it really gets muddled. I understand the plot device of “blending in with humans while on earth”. Really it takes away from illusion of this being in the DC universe. What you get is a show with regular looking people with two of them exploding like they got bomb strapped to their chest. Even the guardians in human form makes you feel like the budget was that of a day time soap opera.

Going forward if the budget doesn’t allow for superpowers or practical make up effects stick to vigilante crime fighters like a Batman, green arrow, wildcat or question character that’s actually able to be represented properly.

Lanterns has a ton of issues. But perhaps one of the biggest is that John’s parents got zero accountability for literally ruining their children’s lives and destroying their childhood.

Think of the depth of their depravity - they psychologically abuse John himself. That much is obvious. But they also abuse their other children as well by making them grow up thinking they’re inferior to John because he gets the special attention. Hence why they call John “Chosen” as a derogatory nickname when they’re adults.

They get zero accountability. At the end, all the Stewarts are able to go home and hug each other and Mom and Dad aren’t punished for all they’ve done. At the very least, the parents should have at least gotten one scene where they sincerely apologized to their children for the shit they put them through. But no.

Nothing.

Episode 3 deserves to be green.

MCU dominating with Spider-Man and again with Doomsday while DC flops again... Hope DCU gets it together with Clayface and Man of Tomorrow.

Its tough being a DC fan.

Do you think James Gunn’s Man of Tomorrow will touch the $1 billion mark at the box office?

I hadn't watched this movie until recently and despite hearing bad reviews and it flopping considerably at the box office, I feel Supergirl had great storytelling and mostly swayed from a regular cliche "girl hero" trope. Personally it was really good and deserved wayy better as compared to the Superman movie. Also awesome actress Milly Alcock and stunning too idc.

Not being the biggest comic book reader, the DCU has been the most exposure i've had with the character. I grew up with loving John in JLU, and whether it's the Reynolds movie or the vast amount of DC animated films i've seen, Hal has always been a staple thus i'm very familiar with him as well. Before Superman (2025), my only knowledge of Guy was that of basically a meme and he had a dumb haircut.

I know Hal fans most likely resent the fact he hasn't been done "justice" and shown in his prime as the definitive GL, which is fair if he's your favorite I completely understand. That said: I do like that in some way shape or form, we have a universe where all three exist and are depicted. Each one is portrayed distinct from one another, and all three serve a different purpose to the overall story despite more or less holding the same title. I'm not saying Guy is now my favorite GL or anything, but I am glad we have a variety all existing in one shared universe.

I'm aware it's become a trope at this point that Gunn loves to use obscure characters, and there are fair points both for and against this...but in the case of Guy I think it was a great decision (I say this independently of the writing decisions for the DCU's iteration of Hal). Guy is a sarcastic prick, but he still very much embodies a hero when it comes down to it and shows why he was chosen to have the ring despite how he comes off on a surface level. I also admire the fact he has his own style and owns it. Anyway, what do you guys think?

Edit: i'm so sorry to have used an ai picture, I didn't realize. I am now apart of the problem 😂
