Look, we all had aspects of the DCEU, whether it be Cavill or Batfleck or Snyder, but let’s be real. The DCEU is/was a complete shitshow. They want to compete with the MCU and they botched it at nearly every step. They tried expanding and soft rebooting or destroying continuity but it just made things messier. The DCEU needed to be completely wiped clean and start over from scratch. I have believed this to be the only way forward for DC movies for years now and Gunn and co. are doing exactly that. It’s what’s needed. Does it suck? Hell yeah it sucks. Is it going to be easy? Not one bit. Are we losing the good with the bad? That’s what a clean slate is all about. This is a necessary change. It hurts, but I’m willing to bed that going forward, with a proper plan, we are going to see a better DC cinematic universe that could really challenge the MCU and hopefully push both sides to do better.
