I think the problem with the DCU films coming from the perspective of a casual like myself is that

[The G.O.D II]

I just don’t understand what these movies are trying to convey and what climax they are leading too. With marvel you understand what each standalone film is(no matter the quality) and how it leads to them all coming together for the ultimate battle. So far every DC movie just feels disjointed. The JL movies just randomly throws in the mother boxes. Darkseid is mentioned maybe twice and no connection is brought up with him and steppenwolf. Each character has no purpose, thin backstory, and are just thrown on screen. Nobody shines outside Superman. I have no interest in seeing any standalone film like I did with BP and Spider-Man coming out of civil war. And you could honestly pull the DC movies apart and it wouldn’t ruin continuity at all outside the death of Superman. Am I off base here?

I agree and TFR needs to discuss this . . . further.

If only they took their time.....

Those after credits scenes that got deleted from JL pissed me off even more seeing how they were leading towards the building of the Legion of Doom. Now that would have been something original and different than the MCU joints with the big bad villain in Thanos vs an entire team of the top Supervillains. JL vs Legion of Doom would have been dope to see on screen, but they fumbled the fukk outta the ball.

I liked JL, thought it was a solid 7.5/10. Liked it a little more than Thor 3. But Feige and Marvel had an organized plan and took their time. The funny thing is that most of the MCU movies haven't even been that great, but you wanted to see them all due to the fact that you know the payoff was coming (Thanos). And now look......


I still think it can be saved though, but they need a plan and patience. The plan isn't the problem....it's the patience. Hollywood has none.

JL had so many scenes in the trailers that weren't in the movie it's ridiculous.

 

[Turk]

The DCEU fukked up by tryna catch up to Marvel instead of just focusing on making good movies

 

[Ghostface Trillah]

You can't microwave a whole cinematic universe.

It leads to threads and questions like this.

You mean the actors or the heroes?

What ever happened about that vision of Flash traveling back in time to worn Batman about Superman or the vision of Superman in an apocalyptic future? Was that just random? Why was Batman so eager to resurrect Superman after those visions and earlier beefs. Dude became a Stan for Superman over a namesake?


The scrips have been ass and shyt feels like a money grab above all else.

 

[Cartier Murphy]

I don’t have a dog in the fight when it comes to all this CBM shyt and honestly I wanted to like the DCU movies more than I do, but they feel like ill fated cashgrabs with damaging studio interference
SS particularly for me. Would’ve really liked to have seen what the original version of it would’ve been like.

So true, the Flash time travel shyt along with the Batman wearing a jacket in a dream sequence was just dumb. And then in JL they act like it never happened.

They tried to erase as much of Snyder as they could and only gained negative reception from the fan base which led to the film under preforming.

Breh realized nobody in the squad could step to Steppenwolfe like that. And judging how much they were all gettin their asses beat and then how fast Supes gave him those hands he made the right call

But him acting like he was lifelong friends with Clark was weird. They knew each other for all of a couple of hours beforehand
