Yes Superman returns failed because of the Boy Scout aspect as opposed to the fact it was dark and somber and played more like a soap opera than a comic book movie
. Like I previously said JL was the lowest performing DCCU movie because audiences had enough and with no good word of mouth (Wonder Woman) it was bound to fail. Despite its failures one of the greatest points of praise regarding justice league was the tonal change of Superman. Anyway will let you live in your delusions of Snyder tha gawd, I am a DC fan but know DC has been fukking up.
It’s hilarious how you say numbers talk then have numbers that do not go with your narrative you have millions of excuses.
Audiences don’t respond to the corny superman you want. That’s the cold hard truth you don’t want to acknowledge. An entire generation grew up thinking he was corny and unrelatable. There’s a reason his popularity shrunk and characters like wolverine took over.
People saw the the trailers for superman returns and tuned it out because they don’t give a shyt about the character. This ain’t the 70s.
Wb was delusional to think man of steel ever had a shot of 1 billion. There’s a difference between being iconic and being popular. And you and the other vocal miniority whining about “not my superman” are delusional to think that people want that old classic superman.
Snyder and Nolan’s version was a response to how people viewed superman now. And that’s what you’ll never understand because you think everybody wanted the same old version.
They gave you that corny supes in justice league and it was the lowest grossing. That speaks volumes but youll ignore that because it doesn’t go with your narrative.
