James Gunn (Co-CEO of DC Studios) returns to the pod this week to talk about his takeover of the new DC content slate, the differences between DC and Marvel, and all the pressure that comes with creating a new Superman film. James goes back and discusses the impact that creating Guardians of the Galaxy had on his career and how ‘allowing himself to give a s***’ was a large catalyst to its success. We also talk about embarrassing Chris Pratt moments, whether or not there are too many superhero films, and the future of Superman’s bald headed villain.

    Phases 2 and 3 of the MCU were so heralded because of the pure variety of genres and tones. Nothing felt fresher than going from a thriller-like Winter Soldier to a goofy space opera like Guardians, but they both kept heart and had plenty of emotional moments directly tied into the characters. And Guardians continued to evolve further by getting more mature in themes as the films went on, instead of something like Love and Thunder that just tried to strike lightning twice with what worked in Ragnarok. I am very optimistic about the future of the DCU with Gunn at the helm because he is coming out and saying “we’re gonna make sure we mix it up and take our time,” which is exactly where Marvel has been struggling as of late.

    i think it just comes down to terrible films. you praise ragnarok like so many others, but i thought that movies was one of the first signs the mcu was in serious trouble. ragarok took a couple of major marvel storylines and sloppily meshed them into one film, all while being marred in comedy. when that film came out and was universally praised, i knew mcu was doomed. when fans praise dogshit, the studios will gladly feed you more of it. when the praise of dogshit drowns out the critics, does the critics even matter? but to be completely honest, the first signs of trouble was age of ultron. notice how marvel seems to be trying to get their shit together now that enough people have finally realized they have been shoveling dogshit down our throats for years.

    I love to see the passion and dedication James Gunn has for comic book characters and their stories. It is nice to know DC is in the capable hands of an actual comic book enthusiast who grew up wanting to make comic books and is making movies because he loves to tell the character stories the best he can and not just make money. We need more directors like him. His vision reminds me of what Kevin Feige and Jon Favreau did before Disney ruined everything.

    Across the Spider-Verse is phenomenal. Yes, it still had Easter Eggs and multiverse stakes, but the core of it is Miles and his parents and Gwen and her father. Their character developments are so good and the movie felt different enough from the rest of the multiverse things coming out lately. Quantomania, Black Adam, and Multiverse of Madness (I guess that's what James was referencing haha) felt underdeveloped and rushed just to make it.

    I defienetly agree. There shouldn't be a term superhero movie genre, it should branch out like James Gunn mentioned. A slayer horror movie with superheroes in it, a drama movie with superheroes in it, an action thriller with superheroes in it. I think the reason why The Batman, Joker, GOTG 3 and ATSV are special movies is because they feel different. Everyone rooted for Batman, Joker, Star Lord or Spiderman is because we feel and root for these characters to succsessfully come on top of the obstacles.

    0:48 This is exactly what I feel about Ragnorok. Just because that was funny doesn’t mean you have to do more of that in the sequel. My favorite Thor movie is (unpopular opinion) the first one. Thor had to become a more humble person rather than following in his father’s past footsteps in terms of being reckless and always wanting to fight. The second one was terrible but it did come with one of the greatest quotes from Thor: “I’d rather be a good man than a great king.” Meaning that he wants to live his life they way he wants rather than sticking to royal traditions. Then all that character development just want down the drain with Ragnorok and LnT. Chris even said that his role in the 4th movie felt that his character was kinda goofy than heroic. Marvel is at the point now in which they are no longer climbing the hill any more and just dancing at the top of it. As a Marvel fan I hope DC puts out better movies which will force Marvel to think harder on their stories and get back to climbing. This is the pure example of “competition breeds innovation”. The 4th phase has done nothing in my opinion other than Marvel dangling member berries to their fans. Marvel had RDJ in his 40s when he was cast as Iron Man after his drug abuse and they did more with him than Henry Cavill in his 30s as Superman. They literally had the potential to do great with him but they just let him wait in the sidelines.

Then does absolutely nothing with that to bring the character back around to being.. y'know.. Superman.

    He's not wrong, though. I know people may disagree with me, but I think the Marvel projects that are good Post-Endgame work because they feel like projects people wanted to make, like Gotg Vol. 3. The ones that either flopped or are not well received by critics and fans tend to be the ones that the studio forced someone to make rather than letting the director make the movie THEY wanted (cough Multiverse of Madness cough) and I think that's where the laziness Gunn is talking about comes in. When you start micromanaging a film and hire people who don't care, that's where you start loosing your audience. If Marvel wants to prove they still have what it takes, they're going to need to trust the people they hire more.

    No respectable writer could write passionately for a genre so uninspiring as the superhero genre. I mean, a handful ones, sure, but the horse is beaten to dust particles at this point since it died already 2010 sometime. The endgame films are only praised by people too young or tasteless to know better, that entire franchise was just a hype-fest that nobody will enjoy in 10-20 years.

    Totally agree with James Gunn. And I'll add that another problem is plot anxiety. I followed a couple of franchises for a couple of specific characters, and they both had a unified story arc. No problem. But the industry keeps reinventing the same characters, or putting said characters (portrayed by the same actors) in different groups/teams/etc. I joke with a coworker, who is much younger than I am, that I need to buy a dry-erase board, whenever we start talk (mainly) about the MCU. And he agrees, laughingly.

    I want to see a horror/suspense/superhero movie from the point of view of the bad guys getting picked off one by one. Air vents, floor grates, rafters, no where is safe as our protagonists dwindle. The story is told through a series of flashbacks, and you realize these are the bad guys we're following. Our "heroes battle the "creature" in the dark and battle each other as paranoia infects the group and they blame each other for the disappearances. Then we see it only in the last shot as he gets his last victim. A flutter of Batman's cape and sillouhette of his cowl. Or maybe a black oozing mass, as Venom reconstitutes himself and NOM! Point is, i think a weird, new, and more subtle approach could be fun.

    Problem with that kind of storytelling is that anyone that went in for a Batman movie is pissed that Batman isn't in it, and anyone that went in for a horror movie is pissed that Batman is in it. You can't do Schindler's List and then suddenly have Magneto start tearing apart nazis in the third act. Even if the tone isn't off, it's just going to be so jarring that it'd ruin the film if you're not expecting it going in. But if you are expecting it, the rest of the film will be jarring for the abscence of xmen.

Even though the avengers had comedy in the way, Joss Whedon likes to do banter, it was still different. Once guardians came out every movie afterwards, tried to pretend to be it.

    The elephant in the room that no one can even glance at, let alone talk about, is that cineplex-geared films are being made with the ‘international audience’ in mind. So many key subtleties in comedy and emotional drama don’t translate to audiences who don’t speak the language of the characters, so they lean into the “BIFF, BAM, POW.” And the reason we can’t talk about this in regards to Hollywood films is because when we say “international audiences,” everyone knows we’re not referring to the U.K. or Australia or Canada, e.g. So it becomes a perceived anti-PoC issue. Now multiply that by ever-increasing costs of films creating ever-reduced risk parameters. (Waylon Jennings voice) Now how d’ya reckon them Movie Boys gonna get outta THIS pickle??

Everyone that kept up Knows they were trying to use "multiverse" as an excuse for race changing, sex changing, sexual orientation changing, religion changing, ideology changing, etc. etc. etc. to push "The Message" and now that Warner has lost billions doing just that (much like Disney, Bud Light, target, etc. ad nauseam) they tried to remove as much as possible of the original woke crap and they tried to do it in with to little time and way to late. There isn't a major studio not suffering the fallout of agenda laden content costing them billions and most are still trying to push due to the people in control having enough f**k you money to not care if they bankrupt the company. Most these companies are publicly traded so its the normies that are losing all their investment money while the agenda pushers will be fine. I'm just done pretending all these crap movies are crap for any other reason than he truth; Woke, leftist, agenda laden crap that the vast majority of people, being rational and moral, are sick of having shoved on them. Gunn is just another of the same old same old and I have no doubt this comment will age exceptionally well.

    Yes yes 1000%. Two of my favorite superhero movies: the original Superman was a love story with superheroes; and Winter Soldier was a political thriller with superheroes. New Mutants almost nailed it as s horror story with superheroes, but it could have been scarier, and the Big Monster at the end was weirdly tacked on (even though it was in fact a character from X-Men lore).

Black panther : showing white people as bad , the whole high class millitary people are woman , 3.wakanda forever : same , showing white people as bad , pusing there aganda, like fight between white vs black and Hispanics , indroducing a black female version of a alredy established white character , with same " strong female character problem" like she is already so intelligent and made a iron suit in high school , instead of hard work , it's always belive in yourself 4.eternals : forced LGBTQ , 5. Love and thunder : forced LGBTQ , instead of calling valkery queen they call her king , forced woman empowerment, calling the make charector as a joke , I think i don't need to talk about the shows

    The problem is that the "message" or agenda pushing if you prefer takes absolute precedence over story telling and worse appealing to the audience. That Hollywood/Disney ignore hundreds of millions of former fans all begging for them to stop with the nonsense they don't just ignore the previously built in audience they proceed to attack them for not watching bad product and then give an endless parade of empty excuses that have never lived up to scrutiny. Fans aren't racist, sexist, bigots for not wanting to watch content that uses text book racism, sexism, and bigotry. There is no fatigue from the fanbase for the original product. There is extreme fatigue from the pushing of agendas and the race changing (racism), changing characters sex (sexism), and changing their sexual orientation and/or religion (bigotry). The sad thing is the people that allowed themselves to be finessed into seeing racism as anti-racist, sexism as anti-sexism, and bigotry as anti-bigotry. Most people haven't been brainwashed into see evil as good and good as evil. The people know what's up and sadly Hollywood types are so scared of not working again the perform metal gymnastics to avoid saying the truth. I love Rosenbaum but even he frequently shuts his mouth when it comes to this reality. He wants to work in Hollywood still which means he must tow the line.

    I think the real problem is that superhero movies have fallen into the same trap as superhero comics. When stories perpetually grind on forever without an ending in sight two problems develop: 1) you limit accessibility because of the shear amount of media you need to consume in order to understand and appreciate what's happening. 2) You run into an escaltion/anti-climax cycle where ever conflict has to be bigger and more dynamic to top the last one but ultimately feel empty because the resolution doesn't really matter.
