With how big it's become, I definitely see the eventual KPDH sequel getting the "High School Musical 3" treatment, especially since Sony Animation's theatrical slate has literally nothing else other than Spider-Verse and GOAT

They do know that Marvel had to fight for Gunn to even get the rights to use Ego, right?

Man, your thread reminded me of this absolute moron just making shit up a few years ago

Oh, yeah, don't get wrong, that's definitely part of it, too

I don't think it's on the level of The Snyder Cult, but I do think some sort of elitism is forming with The DCU already. Its gotten to a point where you can't even criticize anything that's in Gunn's projects. And it's not just DC, ever since Gunn was "canceled" in 2018, there was-

Want to avoid the missteps of The Snyderverse or even The Multiverse Saga, the very FIRST THING we have to do is leave the elitism and gatekeeping at the door.

Hurdles to explain how The DCU is different, when at the end of the day, you can't escape the foundation Marvel has laid for almost two decades. I've generally liked all of The DCU projects so far, Superman in my opinion is almost a near perfect comic book movie. But at the same time, if we-

Idea to kill off Gamora as early Guardians 2. I thought for the most part the Peacemaker finale was decent, but people should express their displeasure with the cliffhanger and how Gunn overhyped it. You can't even point out the contradictory statements about "homework" without someone jumping over-

Elitism and revisionism forming about how he secretly resents Marvel, even though he's said MULTIPLE times he and Feige are on good terms, to even the fabricated stuff about The Russos with The Guardians in Infinity War even though GUNN wrote every piece of dialogue for them. And it was HIS-

So there's gonna be a Avatar fighting game and my response is, "Yes, fucking finally. What took you guys so long?"

They did bring it back, they made every bone headed decision they could with it starting with the main lead. Stop trying to make Jared Leto a thing Hollywood. We clearly don't want him. As Peacemaker said, "The garage band I was in for two seconds is better than 30 Seconds To Mars."

Funny thing about Tron is its not hard to see the appeal. Legacy made it's budget back enough for a initially planned sequel and a spin-off cartoon and was apparently popular enough to be in KH. Its just Disney saw Tomorrowland flopped, prioritized Marvel and SW, and when-

Too little too late for this setinment, Chappell. About 11 months too late

It feels like if you had the Mysterio "Peter Parker is Spider-Man!" thing BEFORE Far From Home's credits (Which oddly enough IS something in TV edits of the movie which makes no sense)
cliffordbatteau.bsky.social
I feel like the crux of it is one was built up throughout the season was entirely the main characters choice and the other while an interesting set up would've been better saved as a post credit

Ironheart had a better cliffhanger than Peacemaker did.

There, I said it

I'm betting Disney kicking themselves for scrapping the Tron: Legacy sequel and saying, "Did we really get rid of the Top Gun: Maverick and F1 director for Jared Leto?"

Wonder Man is asking the bold question of, "What If we made a show like 'The Franchise' but from people who actually knows what the fuck they're talking about instead of 10 writers who chronically use Reddit?"

And this trailer coming a few days after the Peacemaker finale and exposing hypocrisy across the board from that, makes this more prophetic

The outrage this show is gonna get is gonna be on the level of She Hulk but 10 times as much. And as usual, it will be the usual suspects outing themselves

Kevin Feige making WonderMan the opposing Birdman, 10 years later, making a statement just by a black lead, eyeing towards Hollywood Reporter (mostly Variety), is gold.

I can hear the reporters fuming.
