Andy Muschietti’s The Flash is a movie with real heart — but every time the conversation comes up, he can’t stop defending the one part everyone knows failed: the visuals. No one doubts his passion or the performances that carried the film, but the CGI was a mess then, and it’s even harder to ignore now. Pride’s one thing. Denial’s another.
The Biggest Threat to the DCU Right Now Is James Gunn’s Mouth
James Gunn has built his brand on being the straight-talking, fan-friendly filmmaker who tells it like it is. But after the Peacemaker finale and his constant attempts to control the DCU narrative, that honesty is starting to look more like ego. He’s overhyping, underdelivering, and arguing with fans when he should be letting the work speak for itself. The best thing James Gunn could do right now? Stop talking.
The Rock Tried to Hijack the DC Universe — And Lost
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson thought Black Adam would be his ticket to running the DC Universe — complete with Henry Cavill, power lunches, and a potential executive role for his producing partner. But when the global box office fell short, Warner Bros. passed the baton to James Gunn, ending one of the boldest behind-the-scenes plays in franchise history.
James Gunn’s Superman Might Be Too Silly to Survive
James Gunn’s Superman (2025) might look bright and nostalgic, but underneath the Silver Age aesthetics and sci-fi polish, there’s a troubling lack of grounding. As a Xennial raised on sincerity and spectacle, I want this movie to work—but so far, it just feels like cosplay with a budget.
Why is James Gunn marketing Superman like it’s The Passion of the Kryptonian?
James Gunn’s Superman reboot is being marketed like a superhero snuff film—one where the Man of Steel spends more time getting bloodied than being, well, super. The trailers say “Look Up,” but maybe that’s just so we don’t see how often he’s down.
Man of Steel Walked So James Gunn Could Soft-Reboot
James Gunn’s new Superman trailer promises a fresh start—but it looks a lot like the past. With visual echoes of Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, this reboot feels less like a bold new vision and more like a brighter remix of Zack Snyder’s playbook.
Don’t Look Up: What Andor Gets Right That Superman Still Doesn’t
In a single day, Andor gave us a raw, defiant finale while Superman offered polished nostalgia. One challenges us to fight back against power. The other asks us to wait for someone stronger to save us. But in 2025, maybe it’s time we stop looking up—and start looking around.
Superman Fans Beg for Silence—But Isn’t That What They Hated About WB?
As excitement builds for James Gunn’s Superman trailer, some fans are trying to shut down criticism before the footage even drops—circulating memes that encourage total silence toward “negative” opinions. But this kind of toxic positivity isn’t harmless; it’s just another way of policing fandom discourse. When fans are told to “just consume and obey,” we stop being part of a conversation and start acting like unpaid brand ambassadors. Superman deserves better than blind loyalty.
Hollywood Needs China but China Doesn’t Need Hollywood
There was a time not too long ago when a major Hollywood studio wouldn’t dare greenlight a $200 million blockbuster without factoring in China. It was automatic. China was the second box office home for just about every tentpole release. Entire franchise arcs were practically built with Chinese audiences in mind, and for a while, … Continue reading Hollywood Needs China but China Doesn’t Need Hollywood

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Pattinson is being eyed for the role of Scytale in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Messiah, with some insiders claiming a deal is close or already done. Initial concern spread quickly among … Continue reading Is James Gunn quietly killing off Robert Pattinson’s Batman?
