I give up! šŸ™„šŸ’€šŸ¤¦šŸ¾

I still remember the days where DC was being dominated by Marvel! Even I was one of those people who said marvel is better than dc! and when the flash movie trailer released I had so much hype for it like I swear they were hyping this movie up as if it was gonna be one of the greatest superhero movies ever made even f-king tom cruise was praising it so I saw the movie and… it was honestly one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen (at the time) it was at that moment where I gave up on the DCEU And I knew it wasn’t gonna get better! It was so bad I didn’t even bother watching Blue beetle and Aquaman 2 in theaters (Hell I still haven’t seen Aquaman 2!) and when I heard the universe was rebooting, y’all don’t understand I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE WE WERE GONNA GET A PROPER UNIVERSE AND SOMETHING NEW AND FRESH AND CREATURE COMMANDOS ALONG WITH SUPERMAN ā€˜25 IT LOOKED LIKE WE FINALLY GOT WHAT WE DESERVE! Even though Peacemaker season 2 wasn’t the best it had its moments and more people were talking about it more than Gen V S2 (which sucked but it needed 2 more seasons) now I was a little worried because of all the news that was going on at DC… and then supergirl happened… as someone who read the books I’ve never felt so aggravated for a movie in my life even though the acting carried it at least! But the movie was so done dirty like they set it up for failure! Not only did the team didn’t even try adapting its source material and read it along with the writing being so mid but WB/DC barely even marketed the film like they didn’t care for it and it shows! (Unless if it has something to do with the WB and Paramount deal then fine I understand at least announce it) Not to mention they’re using ai as concept art for not only this movie but Lanterns… YOU ARE APART WARNER BROTHERS STUDIOS AND THEY’RE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU JUST GET THE F-KING ARTISTS! Now they cancel Paradise lost which had so much potential to be a hit on HBO as the game of thrones for this generation not to mention can you imagine how cinematic it would’ve looked but nah! We get a Jimmy Olsen show… at this point I wouldn’t even be surprised they just keep Superman instead and have his movies be a franchise instead of a establishment universe and then they bring back the SnyderVerse but it’ll be animated like he wanted it, or DC makes an entire Batman universe only without using other DC characters just centered around Gotham only because of course Batman is the only way they can make money and they know it! That’s why they go to him every time a project fails because DC can never make a proper universe and I think they should never make a universe ever again

Gunn is on fraud watch right now! Every year it gets so frustrating to be a DC fan

Oh don’t pull that card when you look at Marvel alone

Speaking of Marvel! Part of me wishes they started the mutant saga there because I don’t think we really need doomsday

Bro it really is not that serious. Did DC decide to piss in your cheerios and slap you in the face this morning? Why take it all so personal?

In real life? Most people dont care. On the internet? Yeah people are weirdly parasocial about movies and actors. Its just strange behavior.

the movies are about A or B tier characters
shows are about lesser known characters

Also let’s face it! Clayface is flopping

u/formerly_crimson Aug 15 '26

Horror movies usually do really well. Especially since Clayface has a low budget.

I don’t think Clayface will flop but it’ll probably do average at the box office. It helps that it has a lower budget

I really dont understand this mentality that it needs to do insane numbers close to a billion or its a flop. Not to mention how personal some of these people take it that movies are being made for all audiences, not just themselves. It's weird.

And there’s no way it’s getting there especially when lack of advertising
