MARTHABOX - King Dumb Come

PART 4 of 4 - WATCH PART 3 HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJNliAhr3mY PART 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQeoXYCsLPY http://www.patreon.com/moviebob1 https://www.redbubble.com/people/moviebob/works/42529276-big-picture-with-moviebob-logo Timetamps PENDING! 😉 With the DC Extended Universe (aka "The DCEU," aka "The SnyderVerse") about to be put out of its misery by the continuum-reboot shennanigans of "THE FLASH;" I begin my look back through (almost!) every review, video essay, etc I published on the subject in chronological order from the release of "MAN OF STEEL" in 2013 to the total collapse of Warner Bros as a studio in the ongoing present. It's The story of Hollywood and the art of mainstream moviemaking at an inflection point: Sprawling, hard to believe but for the fact that we all watched it happen saga - at once comical yet infuriating and deeply sad - of how hubris, greed, mismanagement, misunderstanding, chasing trends while failing to grasp them and the demonic influence of the Sunk Cost Fallacy turned a “sure thing” into a decade-long garbage fire that eventually burned down one of the last great Movie Studios. #TheFlash #TheFlashMovie #DCEU #TheBatman #WonderWoman

Thank you for this post mortem on the DCEU. You have stared into this abyss, so we didn't have to.

Maybe this does all mean something after all. Probably something along the lines of... bad choices make you more vulnerable to bad luck, and bad luck can cause one to make bad choices, and bad choices make bad luck harder to deal with, so you make more bad decisions, and so on, and so on, and the only thing that can break that cycle is the kind of good management and leadership that simply cannot happen in a hyper-capitalist, shareholder-driven environment, especially a high-profile one where everything already happens through a haze of self-conscious panic. Like, I agree with you 100% that Shazam wasn't just good, it was great. The first Wonder Woman was almost an instant classic, too, and Aquaman and The Suicide Squad absolutely worked on their own merits. Peacemaker's great, I liked the first season of Gotham, the Supergirl show was fun... I haven't seen Birds of Prey but it looks good. I like Joker a lot more than you do, but I agree that it's uniquely hard to seperate that film from ::waves hand in general direction of The Current Unpleasantness:: all that. I have similar feelings towards The Flash, which I haven't seen, but I've really liked Ezra Miller in just about everything I've seen them in and - context aside - is great casting. Plus, tying everything together and wrapping it up with a "Flashpoint" adaptation that you've been kind of building up to is actually a decent way of making some sense out of all this stuff. Pity about the... ::waves hand in general direction of Miller's long record of abusive and toxic behavior:: you know. And how good is Zachary Levi in Shazam? Shame about his fun new "blatant homophobia" arc. And I'll bet there was a version of Wonder Woman 1984 that really worked and had something to say, too bad about ::gestures at the pandemic::. And it made a lot of sense to hire Whedon at the time, but oopsie turns out... That's the thing that fascinates me about this whole thing: they made a lot of bad decisions, and a few good decisions. But it's like almost every *good* decision they made still found a way to blow up in their face. The only two truly untainted *big* DCU main characters left are Aquaman and Harley Quinn. Who'd have thought?
