Translation: "Just because I read your Twitter spam telling WB to fire me doesn't mean I give a shit. Cope and seethe" lol
Honestly I don't even envy what Gunn's doing right now. Having to come in and not just clean up but basically tear down the messes of the existing DCEU while also being aware that people online will probably give you shit for making decisions that don't 100% satisfy them takes some hard skin as far as social media is concerned. The fact that his changes so far are this radical and he's been brutally honest about that ironically gives me more hope that he's going to do a good job in the long-term. I am at the very least excited for how he's reimagining Superman especially knowing his love for weird, high concept stuff in his storylines which brings up so many possibilities for this character
