DC used to be way better than Marvel.
Cinema speaking, this was never true.

Mogo doesn't socialize.

Gunn is just one man, no matter how talented he is, he can't do it all without burning out very quickly.

What DC needs/needed was their own Kevin Feige.
Isn't Kevin Feige also just one man?

It isnt review bombing if its the truth. The Marvels was a fucking mess. So was Quantumania. Secret Invasion was pretty universally hated by most MCU fans. Ms Marvel was good for about two episodes. No one even talks about the Echo show because no one wanted it. Being a Marvel Yes-Man is a silly look. Thor Love and Thunder and Wakanda Forever also didnt gross $1billion. Neither did Quantumania or The Marvels. The Marvels barely made $200mil and Quantumania made the upper of $400mil.
You can cherry pick things you didn't like all you want, the MCU is still far and away the most successful ongoing franchise every year. This is not in debate.

I guess it's kinda hard to call. The Toby Spider-Man movies happened pretty much right in between between the 90's Batman movies and the TDK movies, and it's kind of a linear improvement between the three. Though to be fair, the X-Men movies were definitely better than Superman Returns, so you may be onto something. But then there's the standout Watchmen, which I would call the best of the lot.

But I meant taken as a whole, not just the big budget films. DC's animation was waaaaaaay better, and despite how much I loved Spider-Man 2, the Arkham games just took comic book games to a whole new level. The comics themselves always seemed more or less even to me.

I just want a good Green Lantern movie, and a Superman movie where he faces Brainiac. Is that asking for too much?
What about a Justice League or other team-up movie where they fight Brainiac

I really do not want Brainiac or Darkseid in continuity. At least not until things are long established. Give us less heavy shit please.

Lex Luthor who we already know is the first villain.
Bizarro
Parasite

I think it is more of a case of general Hero-Fatigue than one company doing better/worse than another.

I never said it wasnt. I said the projects I mentioned were a far cry from their older projects. The only recent great movie they put out was Guardians 3. Thats also not up for debate. Guess who directed that movie?

DC's clearly throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks and I don't mean with the upcoming DCU either where the tone ranges between a Superman movie inspired by All Star Superman and a Swamp Thing horror movie, just look at how they're making a Penguin miniseries, how Joker 2's a jukebox musical with Lady Gaga, or how they're putting out that Suicide Squad Isekai to name a few examples.

Yeah, and his name is James Gunn, he's literally in charge of the DCU along with Peter Safran.

I dont think any of those projects have anything to do with Gunns upcoming reboot.

This. They're just remnants of the shit that was already on the wall. Joker and Da Batman were rare successes for them so they're going to milk them as long as they can, even if they're stepping on their own feet by having three separate Batverses active at one time.

Superhero movies are basically dead for now unless it's some really good shit. Gunn's new universe will likely be a flop too.

They don't, but they're examples of how they're using the DC brand to just experiment with random shit where you got a mobster gang miniseries in one thing, a musical another place, and a fantasy anime elsewhere.

The point is, those are parts of things that were around before the DCU was born. They're just making some money with what's left over before that starts. They aren't really part of the plan moving forward.

Isn't that essentially what Gunn's role is going to be for the DCU at this point?

I dont want that to be the first movie. Something down the line, like after a JLA movie.

Darkseid needs to be the DCUs equivalent to the MCUs Thanos. A supervillain built up over the course of a decade or so of films.
