The DC Studios co-chief admits that the executive role wasn’t quite right for him and looks forward to returning to filmmaking full time.
to be fair he was shoe-horned into DC when it was already struggling quite a bit.
So being THE exec at the studio means you couldn’t speak? Could not say the least of things?
Is it not weird that he of all people seem powerless? What the fuck is this saying?
Even an exec producer at DC can’t stop DC from fucking itself with its own mouth ?
Pity, I really liked last year’s Superman flick, his 2021 take on the Suicide Squad and Peacemaker.
I guess Creature Commandos are also dead and won’t be renewed for S2? Shame.
Does this mean no more Peacemaker? I really liked that show…
Lanterns… Lanterns S1 I have some issues with but could have seen it getting better in subsequent seasons.
Okay, I guess DC movies go back to being bland.
wernt they always bland, made worst by have gal gadot in them, no acting skills. i think animated DC is much better, but its was done by a different studio and network before ellison.
That was the previous series. James Gunn rebooted away Gal Gadot with Peacemaker and the new Superman.
I love gray filters on angry supes who never smile.
Super hero genera have been bland for over a decade now. Its the big tent genera, always trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
MCU really desensitized the audience to it.
Exactly. I kind of figured he’d give DC a big ol’ lift while Marvel hit the same tired well.
Happily, he’s still doing Superman 2. And with a little luck, another season of Creature Commandos.
Final cut of Superman 2 will be decided by the new leadership.
instead of exciting and crap?
Back to first principles, DC heros have always been lame.
I was pretty damn surprised to hear that he took the job in the first place. Hard to justify moving from Troma to heading the flagship of a large studio.
It was a fuck you for being snubbed by marvel imo
And then he made a movie about being cancelled unfairly… unless???
Bro straight had the nerve to make “If I Did It” in the Batman universe.
They should have let the man cook. But facists jumped in and did Christian national stuff.
What?
They are cleaning the slate to inject Christian messaging into all the DC movies. Ellisons own Warner brothers and DC now. So you can kiss anything interesting or meaningful coming out of dc goodbye.
i heard that from a different post, im not surprised. probably turn it into something similar like what they did with BSG show, they Christianized the hell of that show, that was meant to be about space.
Shame. I think he did a great job. I’ve watched more DC stuff in the past three years than probably the rest of my life combined.
uhhh…he lost the studio billions.
What the fuck do I care? I’m just here for the art.
This sounds like massive cope from someone who’s produced nothing but flops for DC
bro what are you smoking?
Supergirl did badly, that means everything did badly because some people have the attention span of a gerbil.
What did well? And if things were so profitable, why fire him?
Because of the sky dance merger. Trumps billionaire friend hates James Gunn and Peter Safran because of them using white nationalist antagonists.
If you haven’t noticed, the maga losers hate getting made fun of or having their beliefs shown for what they are.
The new season of Reacher was supposed to be him fighting a white supremist group and it got squashed. Apple TV had a Jessica Chastain movie about the rising threat of white nationalism and they were both cancelled when white christian nationalists couped the government.
Prepare for white maga superman to be coming
peacemaker was all about anti-white supremecy , at least the 1st season.
Correct. Which is the reason that James Gunn was targeted for firing. That is what we are talking about
Sneak peek of new Skydance DCU:
Lanterns and peacemaker
peacemaker was better.
And the new Superman, while Clayface is apparently doing well.
Turns out the guy just didn’t even know Gunn’s universe was different from the ones coming out literally a decade ago.
I was talking about movie’s since it’s almost impossible to find revenue numbers for TV shows (at least without paying). However, even if they were a success, that still doesn’t look good for the DCEU against all is movie flops.
Compared to the Marvel flops?
Gunn had 50% success with DC. Marvel has been near 100% failure. Everything is pinned on Doom digging them out of their hole.
with the amount of DOOM trailers, im not surprised its disney “last real project” they had pulled back other MCU films. Marvel had pretty decent shows prior to disney’s takeover and the slopification.
Oh wow, so we need to compare Gunn to an even greater failure in order to make him look good now?
What are you smoking? DC has had 13 flops almost back to back…
lol
Bro you don’t even understand the conversation because you’re literally stuck in 2016.
Please, enlighten me.
Oh, that must have been so hard for him. I’m sure he’ll cry himself to sleep in his mansion and bed of money.
I mean, he was doing good work and putting out good messages that felt natural for the characters. It’s very clear that Skydance is cancelling the universe specifically because of it.
ELLISON yea, wonder how much hes meddling into the DC universe, probably wants an all “christian” themed universe.
