The Briar Patch

 I don't hate James Gunn even if my social media sometimes feels like it. He has had some hits like Scooby Doo and he has had a lot of misses. Movie 43..... When it comes to comics book movies though he is over rated. I personally feel putting his as the head of DC movies was a mistake... This quick blog was going to be a tweet but it got too long, so here is my James Gunn DCEU rant. This was all inspired after watching Black Adam.

Man of Steel in 2013 could have been the jump off point for the DCU but as of yet, it is not. It is failing. Now to be fair, the dark knight trilogy was still going on when the MCU launched and it was kick ass. Had it not been written to be a trilogy this could have been a great launch for DCU but it wasn’t so let’s not waste too much time on it but before I shit on DC I do have to say tha...
