Hopefully he gets his creative juices flowing and things get coherent and fun. eastriver400 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is her definition of 'some good DC movies'? That may set the bar as everyone has different tastes of what is considered a good movie.

paperheart Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Loved GOTG, GOTG2 was a mess, TSS stunk but at least he's a comic book guy. Does he do promotion for GOTG3 or does Feige fire him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It was covered there to encourage conversation. But more importantly, there are two leads to ensure Gunn doesn't go off the rails. On 10/25/2022 at 8:54 PM, Bird said: enjoyable, coherent movies, preferably with no comic knowledge required. So a movie like Man of Steel or even Wonder Woman where the influences were baked into the movie. No need for comic book knowledge.

Broke as a Joke Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I have watched 3 Gunn superhero movies, 2 of them were spoon. Peacemaker was enjoyable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I like Gaurdians 1, and The Suicide Squad. I thought Guardians 2 was pretty awful, so we'll see how he goes. Things can't get worse. Hopefully he's amenable to working with Zack Snyder in some capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I haven't liked Gunn's directorial style for comic book movies since the first GotG. However, I know that he knows comics, and he's good friends with Snyder. There's hope in this move. Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDarkseid1 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Gunn has done an amazing job on the Marvel movies he worked on, and love his rendition of the Suicide Squad. Overall, think this was a great move and really excited to see what direction this takes DC! Bird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrocHntr Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I love the way Gunn weaves in music to his stories. Particularly GoTG and best thing he’s done IMO in Peacemaker. But I realize the charm is in the uniqueness of that, so not a foundation to build upon for every DC film to come. Still, his creativity should add something exciting to the DC brand.

ThothAmon Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Some smart executives realized that it’s better to shelve billions of dollars worth of terrible movies than ruin the underlying franchises. For the record (wifey) Man of Steel is a solid movie. Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
