Cause too many character's mom's names were MarthaWHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME
instead of focusing on the quality of individual films, they wanted to rush through them to create their own Avengers-like movies (Justice League).
Wow homie, I know I was about to kill you because you were trying to kill me, but your mom's name is Martha? Holy shit, mine too. Let's be besties.written by Zack "Batman isn't cool because he doesn't kill" Snyder
WB kept getting involvedThey should have hired the people who make the comics to design the movies
the first movie wasn't necessarily rushed, but the second was - we need to have Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman meeting up and eventually teaming up in the second movie?Why not? Man of Steel set the stage and these characters are so iconic they don't each need an origin movie to tell people who they are. Moving the inciting team building incident to the beginning of the franchise was actually a really cool idea. The only problem is everything else. The Snyder trilogy were great looking movies with good enough acting and fantastic action. Snyder's vision was executed perfectly but his vision sucked and he didn't have anyone to tell him no, and Goyer's writing was terrible.
Corporate executives.This is a big reason. I was just looking at the wikipedia page for the DCEU and there were so many damn fingers in this pie. No one cared and no one knew what they were doing. There were multiple opportunities to fix the whole thing and they just kept green lighting and immediately canceling a ton of projects, kicking established characters down the road, and releasing lesser known characters to fill out the universe they hadn't built up.
Aquaman 1 ended up being great though, lmao
oh do people still say snyder's good.
They weren't fun movies. All of them tried too hard to be serious. Granted, if they leaned too hard into that, they would've seemed too Marvel. The second Suicide Squad was a super-fun movie... but it just felt like GotG.The Shazam movies aren't that serious actually. Well more so the first one at least
I also wonder if the Avengers benefited BECAUSE some of the heroes weren't as well-known whereas the JLU was mostly heavy hitters, with the only notable absence being GL from the big names.
That said, the MCU has collapsed spectacularly thanks to a slew of bad decisions and market fatigue.
Snyder is good... most of the time. Watchmen is still one of my favorite movies.
they also hired the wrong people.
Bad movies
Bad actors

What's wild about an accurate interpretation?It's like you're intentionally dodging the point.

most of the time but your example is like a decade old and it's not really a lot of good ones among trash.
He has had some fun movies, I suppose.

It's like you're intentionally dodging the point.I don't think anyone misunderstands the point of it, but the way it was actually executed on screen was very, very, very contrived and stupid
People's best movies are rarely their most recent movies.
