At least when Marvel announces something, they already got a team hired and ready to go. DC/WB just throws shyt at the wall.
:mjlol:
That shyt annoys me. They've announced a Nightwing movie, a Batgirl movie, a Justice League Dark movie, Gotham City Sirens movie, a Secret Six movie, a New God's movie, a Deadshot solo movie, and some other shyt I know I'm forgetting. At least with Marvel when they say a movie or show is in development, you're going to see it. :pachaha:

You mean WB

they’ve literally fukked up damn near everything in the DCEU over old men trying to copy the financial success of Marvel

They’re like the Android to Marvels Apple

On one hand I was looking forward to this as any DC movie.

On the other hand there's a chance that fantasy epics just arent Ava's lane either. Would have hated if she caught another L.

I do think her being so busy helped cost her this job though. This is the kind of movie that should have already been started shooting now lowkey. Script took forever.

I was actually surprised WB picked her to direct to begin with. I never saw A Wrinkle but read the plot on Wikipedia and it didn't sound interesting to me. Like I said before, if you're going to adapt the New God's, it should be as a episodic show. It's too much stuff for a two hour movie.

Cmon breh, you know casuals are gonna say DC copied Marvel when in reality Thanos is actually based off Darkseid :pachaha:

:jbhmm:That's not entirely accurate.


Jack Kirby birth the idea of Darkseid and the New God's when he was still with Marvel. They were supposed to replace the Asgardians after Ragnarok.

But Marvel tried to jerk him (pause) on his money so he left and went to DC. That's when he created those characters.

But he realized DC was trash so he went back to Marvel and created Thanos/Eternals.

That's false. Jim Starlin created Thanos, who was partly based on Metron before then Marvel editor Roy Thomas suggested he make him look like Darkseid.
