10 years after Zod’s snapped neck, Martha, “some kinda Suicide Squad”, CGI moustache, rennouncing your wish, the hiearchy of power changing, and Speed Force PS1 graphics, the DC Extended Universe finally comes to a close. And it ends the same way it started - with a Rotten score.

Looking back at all this wasted potential, what would you have done differently with the DCEU, and what are your hopes for James Gunn’s DC Universe?

    Exactly.

    This is why I support the MCU going out on a limb with their new stuff. They’re already on a dang limb, so own it. This will happen to them someday, too, and they know it! So when an opportunity comes up to risk everything to go out gloriously and respectably, you take it. If/When they’re lucky, they’ll find something new and squeeze a few more years out of it.

    DC never did that without backsliding on it.

    It’s decreasing returns. I mean I know we’ve had disney princesses around for nearly a century, but you gotta take basic economics into account in this stuff.
