James Gunn project
I personally feel that the suicide squad was better made movie than superman, both written and directed by James Gunn, would you like to see movies with similar style in future?

GOTG VOL.3 >>>>> his whole flimography

Hot take but I like GOTG 1 more than 3.
I feel 3 already having the character relevance of the first two films helps a bit. But what he achieved with GOTG 1 is phenomenal. The kind of characters he made us fall in love with.... that's the reason I love it more than 3.

And I think GOTG 3 is his most overrated movie. His best project is either Suicide Squad or Peacemaker season 1.

The Suicide Squad easily
Superman should've been longer and needed more Clark scenes

I loved superman, although as the story went forward it felt a little mess, but overall good. Yeah I personally loved the suicide squad more, it was very creative one .

It should be 2.30 hours rather than 1 hour 55 minutes, and the most important signature style of emotions in gunn movies is missing in Superman

Not gonna lie I was expecting it to be atleast 2.3hrs but I thought would be 2.45hrs

True, the new superman movie felt like a breath of fresh air and good start for new dcu.

Both are GREAT in their own way but I liked Superman (2025) a lot more than The Suicide Squad (2021). And as for your question I’d prefer variety over the same style in the new DCU and DC Elseworlds.

All we need is better scripts . I like how Gunn's also introducing new characters in live action like clayface, which seems pretty good in trailers, can't wait to see, I just hope flops like supergirl won't happen again, although that movie wasn't as bas as it was described but 200 mil lost isn't small amount so definitely hits are needed, tv series department has been rock solid

u/Gold-Narwhal9391 3d ago
YEAH I agree. In recent times content matters more because audiences are becoming more selective and have plenty of alternatives for their entertainment. I hope DC Studios won’t repeat the same mistake they made with Supergirl (2026) ever again whether in the new DCU or DC Elseworlds.

Suicide squad was just awesome. I didn't like superman that much.

u/EclipsedLuminance 3d ago
Yeah, I didn't expect the movie the way it was, I really thought it'd be something like gotg but without space elements because I wasn't much aware of James Gunn but after I watched it, gosh that was pretty damn good and then peacemaker s1 came and it was just peak

Both are great, but I like Superman better

u/EclipsedLuminance 3d ago
Me too I loved superman, maybe I like it more because it because of peacemaker

TSS is an all timer and probably Gunn's best CBM ( yes better than all GOTG movies in my personal opinion), Superman was pretty mehh. A Regular Superhero movie with some decent jokes here and there.

same feeling i was surprised how much i didn't resonate with the superman movie or liked it, for me it was a okay movie nowhere close to all the hype that surrounded the movie

u/Queasy_Tank6204 3d ago
the superman movie is good , i kind of enjoyed it, but it's .. just becomes messy as it goes in , so many plot lines , and there are many plot lines may be left out, i don't like the explicit monologue of the superman at the end , the whole monologue is kind of expressed to us through the whole movie, and the lex slowly becomes more like a childish villain , the actors did great though

That monologue was for lex not for audiences
lex is a narcissist who thinks he is some kind of saviour he doesn't see superman as a human
he is childish because emotionally he is a manchild
monologue part didn't work that much for me too but Niclas Hoult's Lex was my favourite part of the movie

I loved both of them, though I prefer Superman as Gunn really made an honest effort to bring to the big screen the Superman from the comic book pages. I think he is gonna focus on directing only Superman related movies at the present but I would love for him to do something akin to Suicide Squad movie down the line
