Ehh, apples and oranges

Mcu had the benefit of being the first to do it but just crazy how dc needs a justice league immediately…

What from the films that Gunn dropped is supposed to take the place of these lol

The first 3 DCU films?

Not sure how that would make someone annoyed by pointing out the mcu didn’t start with heavy hitters either…

showing iron man , the hulk , iron man 2 first 3 years isnt an own

Iron man made 585 million on a 140 budget
Hulk 264 million on a 150 budget even with previous ang lee movies being mixed

iron man 2 which was kind of mid made 600 million off a 150 million budget

making 4x the budget in 2008 3 summers is good lol. 2 of the movies being smash hits same year

all produced under Feige.

we are 4 years in approaching 5 years of being studio head and we will have max by the end of next eyar two movies that cross 500 million box office

its not even about relying on heavy hitters for me. Its about whatever you do drop should be smash hits. It can be more obscure but it should be a great movie not "it was aight" like if you are going to make an obscure movie borderline art movie. Make it so good it gets nominated for awards . Not "it wasnt that bad"

you are too early in the universe for 2 ofr 3 films the word of mouth be "it wasnt as bad as I thought but it wasnt good either"

cause that could be said about iron man 2 and hulk but they were still SUCCESSFUL FINANCIALLY GIVING THEM MORE TIME TO KEEP GOING

what from clayface or supergirl compares to the presence iron man and hulk had lol

"they didn't start with heavy hitters either" lmao cmon nigga

yeah people retconning that I had an iron man toy and hulk had great games

s*** I would have preferred a teen titans movie to clayface or supergirl this early or young justice in some form

LMFAOOOOOOO

The conspiracy that Feige deployed Gunn on a top secret mission to sabotage DC from within starting to feel more likely

joss first

Iron Man was one of the first people you saw in the spider man 90s show this retconning like he was a nobody hated character is insane to the point it feels like the mandella effect

if i was him i'd play into this even if it wasn't true just to make it look like i wasn't a dumbass

quadruple agent I am seeing the vision. It doesnt feel like gunn wanted DCU to succeed the way he moved .

They didn’t lmao you think iron man was a huge character then? You’re off some good s*** then dude.

I mainly knew him from Avengers arcade game back in the 90s. He definitely wasn't a household name unless you were a Ghostface fan.

we dont need blue beetle to become a franchise be grateful you got a bb movie in general

This is DC’s problem. They keep trying to play catch up with Marvel so they go and hire Marvel people expecting the same magic but it never works out. Joss Whedon, James Gunn, and even the DCU costume designer who did a bunch of the iconic MCU suits only to give us that s***ty Green Lantern costume. Now they’ve hired ANOTHER Marvel guy to run things. Surely this’ll be different

No one gave af about iron man back then bro this some revisionist history

Niggas acting like Iron Man had Superman name recognition in 2008

he is one of the major continous guest appearances in spider man and people loved him in it

yall cant be serious

not being a heavy hitter =/= they were random obscure characters

iron man fox kids vhs was one of the first pieces of superhero media i had simply from it being a kids show and at the time vhs were at checkout lines and s***, along with growing up with all the marvel shows and 90s spiderman on disney/jetix

there were also multiple iron man scripts in the 90's which again they aren't doing for some completely obscure superhero

lmao clayface and supergirl have never even had that level of exposure from the episodes you can count on one hand of them being in Bruce Timm DCAU and The Batman

multiple games
