I had to do some light, straightforward algorithm content since the last two videos were so heavy. We will be back to Doctor Who and other stuff soon. This video was made in line with the SAG/WGA guidelines and is not a promotion of struck work; it is a work of critical analysis surrounding the DCEU.

Why Did the DCEU Sequels Fail?

DC failing at the box office and/or critically is something we got used to around ... Suicide Squad. Yet, three films broke that mold within what was dubbed the DCEU: Wonder Woman, Shazam, and Aquaman. These are the three most successful DC films that have come out in theaters, with Aquaman making over a billion dollars, the first non-Batman-related film to do so. Yet, sequels for all of these films have struggled to and, in the case of Aquaman 2, gotten pushed back until it is nearly a meaningless film. What is going on here? The DCEU has struggled to put out audience and critic-pleasing work (and even Aquaman barely made it there—honestly, haters, in my opinion). What went wrong?
