One problem is that a lot of people think "James Gunn" and then go "Man, Guardians of the Galaxy was awesome!", and they're left with a somewhat inaccurate view of just what sort of director he actually is. But James Gunn is also the person behind Slither (which was pretty twisted) and Super (which was pretty damned dark). He got his start working for Troma (which... well... is Troma). That's actually part of why I lack the optimism a lot of people have for Suicide Squad 2 that those people developed once he signed on to do it. Because a lot of the systemic studio problems that have hurt DC's attempt at a cinematic universe from the very beginning still exist behind the scenes, and because Gunn doesn't necessarily have a Midas Touch where everything he works on is gold. It's possible GotG turned out so well because Marvel's rigid administrative grip synergized with his talents to let the best aspects of his ability shine through, but working with DC will encourage his worse traits (or at least let him get away with more that might pull down the overall product). Hard to say for sure at the moment WHAT the movie is going to look like, but I could easily see it going either way. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
