Gunn & the DCEU

 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.

These 2 movies actually made me care about DC. But right there you already screwed up DC! It went MoS, Bats V Supes (DoJ) then WW. Nope, WRONG if anything it should have been MoS, WW, a Batman movie then DoJ and DoJ should be considered the first Justice League movie. You got impatient, likely to keep up with Marvel and that screwed every...
