10 years after Zod’s snapped neck, Martha, “some kinda Suicide Squad”, CGI moustache, rennouncing your wish, the hiearchy of power changing, and Speed Force PS1 graphics, the DC Extended Universe finally comes to a close. And it ends the same way it started - with a Rotten score.
Looking back at all this wasted potential, what would you have done differently with the DCEU, and what are your hopes for James Gunn’s DC Universe?

Iirc isn’t rotten tomatoes where you want to wait for the audience score because the critics are often out of tune with the audience? Not that I’m disinclined to believe the movie’s bad though, like you said DCEU has been pretty abysmal.
This is the case for when franchises get milked forever. They CAN’T die on a good note. Good notes is what promotes sequels. Only when they get a low note they start discontinueing.
It’s why most franchise stories seem to end on dissatisfactory cliffhangers
Sometimes it’s not even “forever”. Wonder Woman '84 was only the 2nd film and it shit the bed so hard it not only killed any future WW movie, but it tanked the Star Wars movie the director was supposed to do next.
I mean, the first Wonder Woman movie was garbage too so…
But hey the Zack Snyder cut of justice league was pretty dope
First 2/3rds of Wonder Woman was fine, but it fell apart at the end. WW 84 though, eesh. Bell to bell just trash, except Pedro Pascal who is a joy!
The movies don’t all have to be connected by a single overreaching narrative, give us some standalones. Give us a feel good Justice Society movie and a utopian sci-fi Legion of Superheroes. It would also be nice to move away from the core Justice League team and world or universe level threats. Let Nightwing stop the Zodiac Master’s plan to rob a series of banks.
You moron, they tried that with ‘The Batman’ and look how that turned out! /s
