Movie Talk
WE ARE GOING TO BE ADULTS ABOUT THIS. I DON’T WANNA SEE ANYONE ACTING LIKE WHINY CHILDREN IN THE COMMENTS, OKAY?
Okay.
Ahem. Look, DC’s recent film slate is awful. There’s no getting around it. Wonder Woman is getting positive reviews right now, and hopefully that’ll rock. But as of right now, Marvel’s haven’t made a single awful movie, just a few mediocre ones MCU track record is embarrassing them. But once again, it stems from The Problem.
DC wanted the film franchise that Marvel had. But they started it by following the wrong leader. I’m convinced that both studios had their fates decided by their first huge successes in the late 2000s. Marvel’s was Iron Man, and, as much as I adore the MCU, they’ve made a bunch of movies that feel like Iron Man. DC had The Dark Knight and, while that tone and aesthetic works very well for Batman, taking it and blanket slapping it on the rest of their characters is an awful idea that didn’t work out. Like it or not, Marvel and DC have both been tracing their big hits from 2008. The only difference is, Marvel’s attempt is working.
