In reality I couldve seen him giving up the reigns after the Superman trilogy

if he wasnt planning and writing man of tomorrow and doing peace maker season 2 he would have had a lot more time to oversee both clayface, supergirl and get another project made or in the process

whats the point of running a cinematic universe if you have to direct 3 of the 6 to 8 films. This was the same issues snyder was having. But at least with snyder he wasnt the studio head lol .

Aquaman James Wan made it out
Flash eventually
Aquaman 2

what logical reason do you guys have for the lead director of a universe also being the studio head?

It’s a small budget horror film that received great reactions and is currently over 100m at the box office. What problems did it have? It’ll make over $120m aka nearly three times its budget back. Since when was that an issue?

There are 0 successful stories of someone being a studio head and director of anything

then saying "we arent under _"

Kojima was under playstatoin now he is under xbox

he cant be his own oversight when he is getting money from someone else. if you are getting money from someone else at the end you will answer to them. You will have to check in and deliver deliverables to them

you said you wanted to lead a cinematic universe and the first one you said "I guess I will direct it then I will take a step back and over see the universe" then moments after the first movie released you said "I got an idea for a continuation I am going to write " then suddenly it was "coming 2026"

you got to slow down and HELP YOUR TEAMMATES AND FORM YOUR TEAM SO THE UNIVERSE DOESNT SINK

YOU CANT BE THE HERO

EVERY SUPERMAN MOVIE COULD BE A SMASH HIT

BUT IF THE MOVIES NOT DIRECTED BY YOU ARE ALL MIXED OR DONT EVEN ENTER PRODUCTION WHAT IS THE F***ING POINT OF A UNIVERSE

Honestly not even that, he prolly woulda been good off a halfway decent Batman reveal. All that teasing and avoiding the elephant in the room (prolly for reeves sake) really bit him in the ass. Like you know what people want

We’re acting like Batman would’ve been some 300 mil incentive to go see Clayface

Wasn’t even cause of budget reasons lol but I guess since it’s negative Gunn news now Skydance is being honest

David said he was really glad this moment happened lol

a lot more pepole would have seen clayface if batman was hunting him down and casting revealed in the movie rather than what i watched today man. Clayface ends similiar to resident evil. Very nihilistic of what was the point of what I watched when damn near none of those characters will return. It didnt go deep on themes was very generic.

The issue is that its coming before other movies people want to see before it but brother if you’ve been in here or looking at this discourse all day you already know that lmao

The movie happening isnt the problem its acting aloof about not doing other more foundational DC properties first or even some s*** we’ve never seen that has a chance to be a solo standalone superhero or action franchise that would work independent of DC like spy D*** Grayson/Nightwing or Cyborg or Question

if you cant name a situation where someone overseeing a universe directed multiple movies and tv shows in that universe while successfully running the movies, tv shows and games of the universe there may be a reason why

I work 6-6. I wasn’t in here all day. Most I was in here was on my break lol. I’m not going back and reading 15 pages in the short time I have in the evening bro.

Literally had plans to have a JL movie by 2030-2031. That’s about 5-6 years from when Superman dropped depending on release. How is that moving slow? You’d have Batman in 2029. Wonder Woman next year in MoT.

The movie you’re comparing Clayface too was also a hit in the BO and creggars biggest flick

We will never know cause the ellisons f***ed us

I am saying it ends similiar and is nihilistic not that I think they are of the same quality

I also think that Resident evil isnt great for kicking off a universe unless you do anthology .

I dont like giving no responsibility to James F***ING GUNN

YALL WERE JUST CELEBRATING JAMES GUNN BEING CLOSE WITH DAVID ELLISON NOT EVEN A MONTH AGO

Kinda crazy if you’re backing this move then you agree with Ben Shapiro…

there is nuance ellison a douchebag but James Gunn wasnt doing a perfect job running a universe under Zaslav with full control and likely wasnt delvieiring infomration and plans to paramount skydance leadershpi ( who are douchebags)

its not just an "idoeology difference"

when clayface and supergirl didnt do well and we have no real concrete plans for the future past gorilla grodd and man of tomorrow

when you are the head of the a universe

that is partiallhy on you

THATS YOUR F***ING JOB

yall were in the merger thread celebrating the merger and saying "woo this guarantees dcu in theaters and ellison close with gunn he visited set . I am hyped lets f***ing go glad netflix lost"

I can bump the post if yall forgot

I didnt even know them niggas had ties

They don’t lol

People were happy Gunn was staying and got an even higher position. Beyond that they’re not close.
