I'm not even sure you can say the Marvel shows haven't been a success. Disney's problems with Disney Plus would exist even if they didn't have Marvel in house. But that aside, I'm not even sure how Chapek being fired could even be involved in this conversation, seeing as Marvel movies have been carrying the Disney theatrical release calendar as far as money goes for the last couple of years. If anything, it'd be their difficulty in finding non Marvel hits that would've counted against him.

How is me saying REPEATEDLY Phase 4 was trash (check my previous comments) gassing it up!?!? Are you just trying to be the
"voice of opposition" for the sake of it? I have been in the She- Hulk and Blade threads trashing the current Marvel Phase.
It's like you're insisting this massive epic flop of a universe was a smashing success because YOU liked it
Snyder got canned, a president got canned basically (Hamada) their Superman lead basically got sidelined for half a decade, their Flash lead is a human train wreck and the flicks are all over the place. I could go on. And that's not touching Green Lantern.
You don't perform open heart surgery if someone needs to just hit the treadmill. You do it because the pain is close to death. And that's what the DCEU is now. Black Adam won't even break even man.
I ain't gotta give you shyt. They don't have a single bona-fide classic in 10 years. Joker and The Batman are 4- star movies no doubt. But AT BEST they're Shazam! level across the board. Wonder Woman and Aquaman were fun no doubt and respectable but come on man. This shyt underachieved. Period.

Speaking objectively there was no reason to continue what synder started. I personally would like Robert pattison as the dcu batman so we don’t just have to get grounded batman films. As far as other actors erza should really be the only one gone. Gal was ok but if she’s out they need to cast someone who fits WW body type

Money wise they made some profit but reception is iffy. We all saw how trying to play catch up hurt them

Asking a product or service you pay for to put out a better product is not a hard request.
This shyt was so great they're blowing it all up!

"as we moved into telling a cohesive story across film, TV, animation, and gaming."
Including animation and gaming? Wow, this shyt about to be more interwoven across mediums than the MCU.

Welp, Gunn’s twitter thread answered absolutely jack.

He’s be in the job for a month
Sure it’s going to take some time to figure out what they want to do.
Because he saw a total dumpster
and wanted to say it in the nicest way possible. There is little to no buzz when these flicks drop and a total clean slate (except for Batman) is exactly what the doctor ordered.

Especially when it comes to the gaming front. Rocksteady is probably blowing someone's phone up to make sure this isn't about to fukk their Suicide Squad game.

Yes. Burn it all down and 2023 is a clean slate. Make the coin you can from Flash, Shazam 2 and Aquaman 2 and call it a day. Shock folks too. Do Green Lantern as your launchpad flick.
Nah, Superman has to be the launchpad.
If you can't get Supes right then it's over.
