Suicide Squad is getting panned and hearing that made my day.
I’m glad someone finally admitted that they want certain movies to fail.
Well, yes. I hate the “2edgy4u” direction DC’s films are going in under the Dark Lord Snyder, and the sooner it fails, the sooner they have to reboot it all and hopefully not be embarrassed by the comic source material.
The edginess doesn’t bother me because for one they have to tonally differentiate themselves from Marvel. Secondly, if the writing is good it wouldn’t matter if it were dark or was even more lighthearted than Marvel films. I definitely agree with Dark Lord Dudebrah. After BvS it’s almost like jumping into a cauldron of magma to hire him again but if anything DC needs some new people making the executive decisions. They are the root of the issue.
Critically, Zach Snyder’s Superman movies have been flops, but financially they’ve done great. In the eyes of the producers, there’s no need to switch it up.
Critical reaction is important. If people hear a movie isn’t good, they honestly won’t go see it. Obviously with massive properties like Batman and Superman it’ll still make money but the numbers drop off quickly and they aren’t making nearly as much as they could.
The other problem is sequels. If they’re trying to build a universe and everyone thinks their movies are shit, people will stop coming and they will get some legit flops.
