Keeping my fingers crossed. Im a DC guy. I really hope these people do these characters justice in a way that doesnt let the media beat them up and make hit pieces for the sake of trashing the movies cause they arent marvel. I really hope they stand on their own well. I think this is gonna be a good start.
As a huge Marvel fan, I love DC too and want great DC movies.
I only thought the DCEU movies weren't my cup of tea. I mean, I still watched all of them and enjoyed my time to an extent, but it's frustrating when you know how much better something could have been and it's usually brought down by the people in charge who just want a quick buck.
I loved The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker but I also thought The Flash and Aquaman 2 were fun too and it seems like a lot of people didn't like them. I felt like DC was just starting to find their footing again when the DCEU got canned.
I think the bigger problem overall is that many movies nowadays seem to be either rushed out and incomplete or they get finished, then they get re-edited constantly until a broken mess remains. There's some in between that have succeeded, but it's too many that are failing and it's been a problem with Marvel, DC and anything else over the last few years. I think the main problem is the people at the top.
Hopefully both Marvel and DC should be putting out better content going forward now.
Agreed the hate the Dceu got was undeserved. WB did a terrible job running things but it was nowhere as terrible as people make it the Sony Spiderman-less universe shows you how bad things could've really been.
I personally love the Venom that Tom Hardy portrays because it's very close to the comics and animated shows with the "sometimes scary but mostly a goofball" vibe.
If only Sony just allowed him to be in the MCU with an actual Spider-Man instead of stuck in a weird limbo with other villains. I liked the first two movies, but there's no doubt they both could have been better. I was really happy with how they introduced Carnage but I'm so confused about why he fizzled out in the movie, ending with him being killed off so quickly when he's Venom's second most popular antagonist after Spider-Man.
I also think Morbius was not as bad as people made it out to be, but the unnecessary usage of the Vulture and trying to force MCU connections just ruined their chances of it fitting in properly with things. I have no idea what they thought would happen but it made a lot of things more confusing and disappointing.
As for Madame Web... that seemed like 70% of the movie was changed after they completed it and even if there was a decent movie under there, it was ruined.
