In a way, this is very telling of the contrast between Marvel and DC's decision making so far.
Both companies had this stereotypically boring goody-to-shoe "boy scout" hero that's supposed to be the numero uno of their cinematic universes... but that the mainstream generally
about, for the same reasons they also boo John Cena.
In contrast, both companies had this billionaire playboy + billion dollar box office a$$hole who the general public embraced, adored and elevated as the true number one.
And so, the way Disney used RDJ/Iron Man to lowkey elevate Chris Evans in those Avengers movies + what the Russo bros did with CA:TWS & CW... they just made a blonde blue-eyed cac dressed in red white and blue with the name "captain a-mmurrica"
not be some corny, forced white-privileged political agenda for social media to destroy.. They made him "cool" on a global scale, and the face of the Avengers now.. all without damaging the brand of their og cash cow Iron Man. Very impressive.
On the flip side, WB didn't really do Superman any favors. Bats basically had Superman beat and begging, plus had the best fight scenes, cool moments, saved martha, and now gets to be the one who assembles and leads the justice league. Whereas Superman is 6 feet under with nothing but a pity party for his emo efforts.
(they're region free so might be interesting for you Amurricans as well):
but it's here
chiiiiiill.
