Do you agree with audiences?

Should James Gunn get another chance and do you agree with these general audience complaints?

Sunk cost fallacy. He's in too deep with investing to Gunn's DCU. He can't afford to say otherwise.

Jews run hollywood. They Jew the process all over. They sell themselves ads for their own movies at insane rates on their other media platforms and manipulate the figures to present whatever picture is most profitable long term on whichever side of their business benefits most from it at that moment. They will tank figures so they can present a loss in year of release then make bank as a property continues to generate profit in perpetuity. They also do this to Jew actors and production folk out of percentage deals on the back end. If half the budget goes to ads, and they buy and sell those ads to themselves, it is a bullshit con game for the purpose of tax manipulation.

Gunn forgot the proper structure to a plot. It felt like a mish mash smorgasbord that was meant to be an episodic tv series which was squished together at the last second into a lumpy baby food of a film which didn't know where it was going and failed to coalesce. A story when done properly needs to move toward a locus which it ultimately resolves. He didn't know if it was meant to be about Elon Luthor, Netanyahu, Fascist Kryptonian parents vs. Salt of the Earth American parenting, Superman joining forces with the Justice Gang, Superman the Illegal being a truer American, Luthor's pocket universe and dabbling in interdimensional travel, ultraman, or a bevy of other plot strands competing with each other never satisfyingly tying together to put a bow on this flick.

GUNN WON

SNYDER LOST

>>212680036 (OP)
It's gonna make $850+ million and be the 3rd highest grossed movie of the year, because it has strong legs and WOM, it will be the first movie to gain during 2nd week, not lose.
Cope & seethe, snyderjeet

You realize these people never do interviews or give comments over the weekend, right? He likely said this Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday when positive (shill) reviews were coming out. Now the real dollars and cents are coming in and there's guaranteed to be a course correction, again. How major a course correction is yet to be seen but when this movie ends its run at $450 million the tune will certainly change

valid point.

retarded. this is supposed to start the new dc cinematic universe, if you're already needing that you have already failed.
>Superman clone flopped. Needed a better superpowered villain
no. lex luthor is the main villain if that has failed to satisfy then lex luthor wasn't done properly.
>Not enough sex appeal. Audiences say Rachel Brosnahan was too covered up in “pilgrim clothes” and The Architect had no sex appeal.
nope you don't need that and I'm pretty sure there was some from the titty jumping girl.

Then why cast a 35+ year old actress as Lois? 5 years from now, when they make a sequel, she'll be older than Amy Adams was during the filming of BvS. In the movie, Lois is supposed to be in her mid-20s, given that she and Clark have about three years of post-college work experience at the Daily Planet, not some 35-year old cat mom.

Seconded. That served zero purpose except to antagonize a segment of potential viewers needlessly. It was a clear unforced error.

>>212681232
>Not enough sex appeal. Audiences say Rachel Brosnahan was too covered up in “pilgrim clothes” and The Architect had no sex appeal.
>nope you don't need that
Disagree. It doesn't need to be crass, but people are sick of the puritanical approach to things straight guys find appealing, and some simple and sparing nods to that would have supported the idea that the movie is supposed to be fun. The Architect character could easily have been sexier without being outright grotesque.

>>212681344
>I never heard of this Zaslav fella until CM Punk mentioned him
He's the kind of unimaginative moron who just makes short-sighted cost savings cuts, forever cheapening and degrading the brand for quick profits. The landlord equivalent would be the guy that buys the high end condos, cuts all the perks, installs cards swipers to pay for elevator rides, and replaces the pool with a vape-shop.

>>212681538
Still the best on-screen incarnation of Lex. He captured the way that envy and resentment drives a character that feels like he is the good guy.

Half of Americans voted for Trump but they're mostly the poor half that can't afford a ticket or watch movies by piracy only. The half that didn't vote for Trump can watch a movie multiple times and it show on the American BO. The movie struggle in the foreign market but performed great in the national market so Gunn was right in his statement

from what little i've seen, you ain't lying

The extended preview windows for movies are insane. People got to buy tickets to see it in normal theatres a week before release and everyone I knew already watched it before Friday. Opening weekends don't even feel like weekends anymore
