Them being actually good is what made them good.

This is a bullshit statement. You can’t say that they’re good just because you say so.

DCU had active and regular good buzz after a decade plus of being a joke.

Even if that is true, it hasn’t made money.

Its disingenuous to see the studio get bought out by the infamously ultra conservative Ellison family who are purchasing and censoring all forms of media they can and just go ‘clearly did not do well enough.’

I don’t like them either but It’s not difficult to find the numbers. It didn’t do well.

And if we’re being persnickety, ‘fired’ is incorrect.

He was fired. He wasn’t even given time to see Superman through.

‘X happened, therefore it must have been justified financially’ is baloney. Especially since the guy they replaced him with has a policy of making things his ‘grandmother would like’, famously a top demo for superhero media.

Again, the numbers are easy to find. And we don’t know what the additional costs of making these movies are, usually we don’t see numbers for marketing and other expenses. A move can’t just make a little bit of profit to be sustainable and only one of the three Gunn movies has made back its budget. I’m not sure what the point of taking about his replacement is? I mean I don’t like that ideology but it’s Gunn that’s failed here.

Also lets look at the usual Enshittification process when mergers like this happen. It happened when Warner was sold to Discovery and now Paramount. This is their MO.

I mean sure, but my argument was about Gunn, not how much worse it’s probably going to get with Skydance.
