From the outside looking in I'd say they tried to rush it maybe? I'm sure they made other mistakes, but Marvel took a decade and a ton of movies to build up to this moment. They played the long game and they put in the hard work to reap the benefits.
How many years and movies lead up to Justice League? A couple years? A few movies?
Did DC just want to catch up to Marvel right away and bank on the popularity of Batman and Superman to get them there?
The crazy shyt is before the MCU, nobody really gave a fukk about most of the Avengers. The biggest Marvel characters were Spider Man and X-Men, right? They had to take Ironman, Thor, Cap, etc, and MAKE THEM popular with the average movie-goer because they couldn't bank off the name popularity.
Honestly, it'sWhy are yall even bringing up DC
at this point.
It's tracking to be ahead of the first one.
‘Deadpool 2’ Tracking Suggests Raunchy Superhero Headed For $150M+ Opening
But tracking this far out can be unreliable.

Yo James Cameron was my favorite director before Avatar. Dude was unfukkwithable from Terminator, Aliens, The Abyss, Terminator 2, and True Lies. Titanic was decent, but kind of a big budget chick flick. That's fine. he has a passion for the sea and for the titanic story. I get it.I honestly have no desire to see another avatar movie , I feel like they’re gonna push agendas
But then to take so many years off and come back with Avatar which was basically fern gully meets Dances with Wolves, and super generic mostly? And to do nothing of note since then?
Worse yet, IMDB lists Avatr 2 and 3 as filming and lists 4 and 5 as all being in pre-production. 5 has a release date of 2025, so it looks like he's tied up doing Avatar flicks for at least the next 7-8 years.

You think there's a chance they have to reboot again?
I could see it.
They can't keep doing down this path.
2 good villains (Killmonger and Thanos) in a 10 year span. And one of them is dead.
We didn't forget the super forgettable villains of the MCU. Dont rewrite history.

They're fukked both ways.
Reboot means admitting failure but at the same time Wonder Woman at least gave them some much needed credibility. Hopefully Aquaman does too.
Staying the same just keeps alienating folks.
Affleck gotta go and do so Cavill. And I like Cavill he never really had the flick or director to give a phenomenal performance and film.
They really should have done MOS 2 with Braniac.
Snyder and their executive team made an epic, colossal massive misfire that is the poster child of what not to do. And unlike Disney they own all their characters and still fukked it up.
Wait until the after credit X-Men/FF plays in like 2020 or 2021. Another 20 flick franchise.
Unbelievable.
Comic book fatigue is setting in
Nobody wants to see these movies anymore
The age of comic movies is over
Again. Avatar did 2 billy alone internationally. No movie has ever come close to touching that

And Wonder Woman.
Aquaman, Green Latern, and Flash gonna have to put in work though to give the universe some momentum.
It's not as insurmountable as people making it seem, but obv WB has to really develop a good game plan and stick with it.
