      Sony, Disney and WB are all run by incompetent morons who should have been fired years ago.
      Zaslav seems moderately competent in his defence, but he inherited it from Hamada who acts like he has brain damage. And he hired Gunn who's a man child.
      Disney, enough said about them to be honest.
      Ironically, sony are probably the least moronic of the 3. I like to think that the email leaks shamed them and forced them into self-reflection.

    Those two films are mostly bad because of studio meddling, not so much the directors. From what I understand, Gunn will have full control over DC studios which he will then grant to his directors. He’s already emphasized the importance of director driven films

        IT part 1 was actually pretty good and the flash was quite serviceable considering it was in development hell for roughly 20 years. There was no way the movie was going to be anything above 8/10. Anyways, maybe he made a good pitch for the Batman film?

          James Gunn can say whatever he wants, but the truth is that he always does the opposite.

          He can't say that he will prioritize the directors while handing notes to all the movies currently in production thus forcing their directors to do reshoots just so the movies can abide to some half-brained continuity that won't matter anymore.
          Or say that every new movie will have its own tone while once again handing out notes that ultimately force all the movies currently in production to all have the same kind of humor.

      Yes. No one here wants to look at the bigger picture because people here are low IQ incels with agendas. The reality is that Flash was made under the old Warner Bros regime which was awful, that film went thru dozens of different renditions, endings, cameos, edits, etc. It sat on a shelf for years and was a victim of endless studio meddling, with no one knowing what exactly it should be. It was going to be a launch point for the new DCEU with Michael Keaton as Batman, then that idea got scrapped. Rinse and repeat

      Lucasfilm is an awful company and Kathleen Kennedy is an awful productive and creative head with her own fierce political agenda that she implements into everything. James Mangold is a great director who was brave enough to say yes to being taken under Kathleen Kennedys wing. From everything we're hearing about Indy, positive or negative, people say the directing is great but the script/story is where it fails.

      It's hard for this board to hear facts and take them into consideration when discussing these topics. It's easier to have a black and white view of the world and just say "GUNN BAD, GLASH BAD CUZ GUNN, INDY 5 BAD, INDY 5 BAD CUZ MANGOLD, MANGOLD BAD!"

Next you'll tell me you LOVE Cavil and the Snyder verse, yet you didn't go out to support black adam, who's box office would've been the deciding factor on Cavil returning or not. You aren't supporting the movies, no one was, so it's done and they're moving on

            The problem isn't that he shit-canned then, though him doing that cost the studio billions.

            he probably just told them to cut out post-credit scenes.

            I said greater creative control, not total. WB during Snyder got really draconian and executive meddling allegedly ruined several films. They could shelve the Flash filming for like 3 years but couldn't let Snyder mourn his daughter for a few months. Jumped at the chance to replace him with Joss Whedon, forced moronic reshoots and the moronic CGI moustache.

            Then they fricked with dudes making the Flash, forced Fumuyiwa to quit.

            WB was run by complete morons.

            Gunn's meddling in Shazam, Black Adam, and the Flash was basically limited to post-credits shit. Most of these movies coming out were already finished when he was hired to become DC's Feige.

            >he probably just told them to cut out post-credit scenes.
            We know for a fact that he made the directors film new post-credit scenes just to add le ebin gag which audiences ironically hated it.
            >Most of these movies coming out were already finished when he was hired to become DC's Feige.
            He still made them stop their post-production and made the directors film new scenes either with his wife in it or some gag he thought funny just because he's the boss and he can meddle on things.
            A good exec would have just left the directors do their thing, specially if said exec was worried about the directors having their own creative freedom.

              The original post-credits scenes were probably gonna set up a potential Justice League 2.

              According to ancient Flash movie leaks the original Flash ending involved the Flash hanging out with Keaton Batman, Superman, Supergirl, and the rest of the Justice League in a "New 52" inspired world when Batfleck pulls him into the Speed Force warning him about Darkseid coming back.

              Shazam 2 was gonna end with a setup for Superman and Shazam vs Black Adam.

                >The original post-credits scenes were probably gonna set up a potential Justice League 2.
                The biggest difference is that the original ending felt like a proper conclusion with Michael Keaton's Batman and Sasha Calle's Supergirl showing up again with a promise for more adventures. It was a hopeful ending. It gave audiences a good feeling. That's why the test screening had such a popular word of mouth.

                Meanwhile the ending Gunn created for the movie is just some gag with George Clooney's Batman where we see the Flash's teeth fall and doesn't even explain anything.
                Clooney isn't the Gunnverse's Batman so there's no explanation or connection to the reboot. You'd think Gunn changed the ending to make things clearer for the audience about the reboot, but nope. It is just a dumb gag.
                The ending also wasn't test screened because it was a last minute thing Gunn imposed on the production. It also the new ending left audiences feeling conflicted because now the movie make it seem that the Flash didn't resolve anything. Keaton's Batman and Calle's Supergirl died over and over for nothing. The world the audience was invested in disappeared. The Flash is in some unexplained new place with a new Batman they've no connection to.

                They couldn't go with the original ending and post-credits because the DCEU is canceled. They went with the gag one. The movie couldn't end in a cliffhanger setting up the next Justice League which is never gonna happen.

                >The ending also wasn't test screened because it was a last minute thing Gunn imposed on the production.

                Maybe the reboot gets installed in the post-credits of Aquaman 2... which is the last of the DCEU films.

                Flashpoint ends with war between Atlantis and the Amazons destroying the planet.

                Maybe Aquaman 2 ends like Justice League Dark Apokolips war and the original Flashpoint.
                Aquaman defeats the "big bad" but the Earth is thrashed. Gonna slowly die.

                Aquaman asks Barry to run back in time again in the final scene.

                Post credits or second post credits ends with David Corenswet talking off his dress shirt.

                Spoilers...

                The gag ending promised more George Clooney's Batman and we all know nobody will ever follow up on that. It is the same thing, but one ending is feel better as a conclusion for the movie than the other..

                He is a vindictive cut.

                I'm not even talking about the second ending where you had Henry Cavill's Superman and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman appear in it, though that would also be a nice send-off to the whole DCEU era.
                I am talking about the original ending that had just Keaton and Calle's characters in it. Because that ending shows the audience that the characters they've been following throughout the whole movie: ie Miller's Flash, Keaton's Bats, Calle's Supergirl, are all well and fine. It also promises that the world is now fixed by Miller's Flash because the Miller's Flash is still in that world where these characters exist. So audiences can leave the theater with this nice feeling that the heroes are well and the world is fine.

      >Gunn and Discovery are offering these dudes greater creative control. It will probably make the difference.
      By saddling the directors with even more notes and mandates?
      If Gunn truly cared about giving directors creative control he would cross his arm and let the directors of the movies that are right now in production just do whatever the frick they wanted, specially when these movies won't matter given the upcoming reboot.
      But he didn't do that. Instead he added more changes on top of the previous ones given the directors even more constrain. Now the directors have to change the previously established plans and redo stuff to accommodate Gunn's wishes.

        James Wan is so tired of this bullshit he announced he won't be doing a third Aquaman movie and will probably never work on a superhero movie again.
        That right there is a good director who could have been charmed for more projects, but the dude is so tired of dealing with executives constantly shifting shit behind his back and telling him what to do that now he just wants to be done with it all.

          He quit before he was fired. Discovery is never gonna make another Aquaman set in the Snyderverse, even if it makes 1 billion dollars.

          They're gonna totally reboot Aquaman.

        he probably just told them to cut out post-credit scenes.

        I said greater creative control, not total. WB during Snyder got really draconian and executive meddling allegedly ruined several films. They could shelve the Flash filming for like 3 years but couldn't let Snyder mourn his daughter for a few months. Jumped at the chance to replace him with Joss Whedon, forced moronic reshoots and the moronic CGI moustache.

        Then they fricked with dudes making the Flash, forced Fumuyiwa to quit.

        WB was run by complete morons.

        Gunn's meddling in Shazam, Black Adam, and the Flash was basically limited to post-credits shit. Most of these movies coming out were already finished when he was hired to become DC's Feige.

    If James Gunn was smart he'd shut up and let the current movies run their course without changing anything about them.
    Then he'd announce that the reboot is just a new universe that they'd focus on, but the adventures of the old universes would still happen somewhere in the multiverse and that he'd love to continue them in the future. Throw lots of praise to Zack Snyder and Tim Burton. Lots of promise of bringing them back for future projects.

    There. Simple as frick. This way you keep the goodwill and get to do your thing without people giving you shit.

        Right?

        No need to handle out notes and give the directors even more of a headache. Just give some empty promises that Michael Keaton's Batman will be back in the future in the world audiences watched. Throw in some empty praise to Tim Burton. Say you'd love to see an Elseworlds movie with Burton and Keaton, BUUUT not now. Now you need to build up this universe. Who knows, there might be a cross-over in the future. Yadda, yadda, yadda.

        But nope. Gunn had to change the movie in the last minute just to add his dumb ideas, he had to post on Twitter about the movie not mattering anymore just to see it bombing. Now he has to run mea culpa with Blue Beetle promising that the movie is canon to the DCU but not really. Just over-complicating things for general audiences.

        Here's a truth most people won't like.

        James Gunn is unoriginal as frick. Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad are almost the same movie structurally and character wise. Gunn also stole several concepts and scenes from the Deadpool movies.
        Gunn also has been stealing concepts and scenes from Zack Snyder's DC movies. Brightburn is unironically a remake of Man of Steel with a slasher-horror bent.

        Superman: Legacy will have so many scenes and gags and twist lifted directly from past Superman movies that it will feel like you're watching The Batman 2.0. Just an overwhelming feeling of "i've already seen that" over and over again.

    It's not really the directors' fault though. The Flash just had a cursed production and Indiana Jones is rancid IP, both directors have shown that they are capable of making ok movies.

    Also it's rare that directors get blacklisted for making flops. They get work as long as they get shit done and are not a pain in the ass.
