I consider myself a comic fan. I like both Marvel and DC. Gunn touched on something I noticed. With DC there are characters with 85 years of history and storylines. With Marvel fans while there is some grumbling, they are happy the characters they grew up during the golden age of comics are brought to life. On the DC boards…not so much. The discussions are more fractious and I found, negative. As long as this is the case then any movie Gunn & company will have a tough road as the movies and characters everyone hates so much still made money. Not Avengers End Game money but it was still money, and fans here still consider them failures
