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.

    I agree. The movies that should cost 300 million are the Justice League type movies (properly donde obviously). The rest have to be 100 to 150 million max. Everything everywhere all at once proved you can do action adventure sci fi for 40 million. Why can't you do it for double/triple that? It's not like the actors in Everything everywhere were unknowns, Jamie Lee Curtis and Michelle Yeoh are big actresses and have been for years. Gunn has proven that he is taking that approach here. The actor for Superman is known but not that known and Lois Lane is going to be played by an A list TV actress but not a big A list actress that that the audience will think of as a "look it's her" and will think "look it's Lois Lane".

Then Disney came in and bought them out. I'm Sure Disney has their own input they put into the movies that they think will make the most money. But, most of the Marvel movies still stay on track and follow a cohesive story line driven by most of the Marvel Comics they're taken from.

    I truly believe that Gunn is going to deliver a Superman that will meet and possibly.. possibly exceed Richard Donners original.. that is not to take away from Donner or Reeve in any way... its a good thing. Snyders vision was overly dark and it wasted a great Superman in Cavill IMO. All that being said I expect big things for this new DCU.

    IMO the reason all the Marvel Movies are "Good" because it's part of a shared universe, the great movies are great, and they make the bad movies good because I want to watch them to absorb everything in the universe. I love DC but I have given up on DC movies. However if James Gunn makes this Universe great, for me, all the old movies I think are bad now would suddenly become "good" because I would want to see all the stuff that was part of that universe.

    DC Fans will definitely give him a chance but he needs to win the general audience, the ones that are have grown to love the MCU for years so he and WB needs to make sure that these films are focused on quality first over building up. The other factor to also worry about are the Snyder stans all over Twitter and certain DC Subreddits that rather have Gunn fail his universe just because of Zack Snyder's departure of the franchise. They rather burn WB and DC to the ground because of three failed attempts. All those guys want are their JL sequels that were inspired by Injustice video games and Final Crisis which ends in a fifth movie divisively

    He needs to win back the dedicated DC movie fans. There currently isn't one right now. Despite what normies and media says DCEU had a dedicated fanbase who no matter how the movie was, would show up in theater and was genuinely interested to see how the connected universe story would progress. That's exactly why the phase 1 of DC movies till Aquaman all were a box office movie success. Even Suicide Squad despite how bad it was, made profit at box office. Media critics review don't matter for shit cause, literally every single DCEU movie that wasn't directly associated by Snyder somehow flopped at box office and costed WB money. Shazam 1,2 , The Suicide Squad, Wheadon's Justice League, Black Adam, Birds of Prey, the Flash and Blue Beetle is on their way now. It's an extremely bold assumption to think that you're gonna ignore the wishe's of the only dedicated fanbase of your to appease MCU fans and general audience and your movies would still be a success. MCU movies have a dedicated fanbase, no matter how bad or terrible some of their movies may be, those dedicated fanbase would still make those movies successful. DCEU had one and WB with their dumb decisions have managed to make them all lose interest in their DC movies. Gunn really needs to step up if he wants his DC movies to be successful in future. Firing Henry Cavil, who was universally loved by most DC fans while keeping his own The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker cast wasn't something that would make him likeable to most DC fans. I am not a Snyder fanboy and I love Gunn's work in GOTG movies but as a head of a movie studio, you gotta think about movie's financial success before anything else. I hope he starts delivering.

It's not going to be an easy task to make this work. There's so much competition. It's going to be a challenge.

I mean (and I know not everyone agrees) The Flash is a bona fide _great_ f***ing movie, the character is well known, almost nobody outside of geeks knows or cares about Ezra Miller's crazy shit, Miller is an amazing actor, Sasha Calle is an excellent Supergirl, Michael Keaton is there, and on and on. There's no reason this movie should have failed. So I'll be watching and listening to see what Gunn thinks about the situation and whether he thinks this bodes ill for the DC reboot.

    There are quite a few reasons and they all played part: 1. Despite you admit it or not DCEU had only one dedicated fanbase and that was the Snyderfans. No matter how the movies were as long as it was part of Snyder's continued storyline, they would show up to see those movies and that's the only reason all Snyder associated DC movies are box office hit. Every other DCEU movies flopped at box office 2. The behind the camera drama about going behind Snyder and almost remaking Justice League, Wheadon treating the JL cast horribly and 2 of the WB executives being fired over them, really made general audience see DC movies negatively. 3. The Flash's initial test screening were amazing that's the only reason WB put so much faith into this and promoted the hell out of it. But there's big catch ( the movie was quite different during test screening). In fact by the time the Flash ended in test screening, every moviegoer at the theater felt super optimistic cause it hinted at an united rebooted universe where Cavil stays, Affleck stays and lots of new opportunities for future movies are set in place. But the actual Flash movie removed all of those and ended the movie on basically by a George Clooney came just for a single joke punchline. I was one of the people who saw the early screening of Flash and I loved it then and when I saw the actual movie in theater after it came out, I was furious. The movie was so so much better initially. Few people might have liked the final cut of that movie but it would have been universally loved by everyone if they released the test screening cut without editing. 4. Ezra Miller, who is being accused of quite a few nasty charges and him leading the movie is what made many fans don't wanna see it. Despite the fact most of the crimes he was accused of has been proven false at court but he's still not likeable among most of the fans. James gunn is a great filmmaker and I myself am a big fan of his Guardian movies and his Peacemaker series. But being a director and being the head of a studio are quite different roles. So far as the DC head, his decision making has only resulted into loss for DC. I hope he starts improving on that for the sake of every DC fan out there
