'Suicide Squad' Director Urges DC and Marvel Fans To Stop Feuding - Slashdot

‘Suicide Squad’ Director Urges DC and Marvel Fans To Stop Feuding (cinemablend.com) 15

Posted by EditorDavid from the worst-heroes-ever dept.
An anonymous reader quotes Cinema Blend: At the beginning of 2019, approximately a half year after James Gunn was unceremoniously fired from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, it was officially confirmed that he’d be jumping to the DC universe to write and direct The Suicide Squad. Then, just two months later, Disney and Marvel reversed course and rehired Gunn to helm Guardians 3, though because he boarded The Suicide Squad in that interim period, he’s tackling that DC tale first and then will jump back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Even though he’s now working with the MCU’s chief rival on the superhero movie front, James Gunn has revealed that the folks over at Marvel Studios are incredibly supportive of him working on The Suicide Squad for DC, and Gunn is advocating that DC and Marvel fans follow suit and stop feuding with one another about these companies

“As I’ve said so many times, at the end of the day, Marvel & DC fans have a lot more in common than they do not. I am now & have been for almost all my life, both. Maybe you like one more than the other – that’s cool – but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy them all or that you have to tear the other down. I know I & my partners at both Marvel & DC believe what’s good for one studio is generally good for all: spurring each other on daily with heartfelt, spectacular & innovative entertainment that keeps audiences around the world loving movies based on or inspired by sequential art…”
Meanwhile Joker, the newest film in the DC Extended Universe, set a new box-office record for a film opening in October, beating the record previously set by Marvel’s Spider-Man spinoff Venom.

Rotten Tomatoes currently shows Joker with an average critic’s rating of 69%, placing it behind Dreamworks’ Abominable, as well as Ad Astra, Hustlers, the Downton Abbey movie, and Judy — but with a much higher audience score of 91%.

    Wait… those aweful, predictable, print-and-repeat movie series have fans?!
    What kind of world are we living in?

    • …awful, predictable, print-and-repeat movie series…

      People eat McDonald’s and listen to Beyonce. I suppose people like the familiar.

    • The kind of world where people can’t enjoy anything and have to hate on everything just to feel alive.
       
      It’s also the kind of world where we can’t let others enjoy things we don’t like or understand because different is scary and bad.
       
      Finally, it’s the kind of world where people don’t know how to properly spell awful. Perhaps you meant “awesome” instead.

    This is just another example of humans’ amazing ability to get savagely tribal about the most pointless, inconsequential crap imaginable.

      HEY there Mister…. I don’t like your tone, OR your toner. This towns’ not big enough for both of us AND your laser printer, so why don’t you act like your sucko printer and just jam out’a here?

    • Or perhaps driven by people’s desire to "belong" somewhere, expressed through a minimal group effect [wikipedia.org]? Doesn’t matter much which group you’re in, as long as you’re in a group.

      So for people who (for example) just aren’t in a mood to discuss more practical or important subjects: just pick something unimportant to bicker about. Make arguments against group B that’s convincing enough for group A to ‘take you in’, and from there on you have a group you ‘belong’ with. Or at least you think so.

    Freedom of speech, freedom of the press.
    Make a full SJW movie, expect the “fans” to review it as such.

    The consumerism of this story is absolutely disgusting.

    And watching you comic book fags argue who gets to have the pedo director is exactly what I expect from you wankers.

  • More like political Ideologues and shills. I only care about the user reviews on RT.

  • It’s the MCU vs. the DCEU, or perhaps Kevin Feige vs. Zack Snyder. Either way, the former has done a much better job than the latter.

    Christopher Nolan, Tim Burton, and Richard Donner have all turned out fantastic DC movies. Even Bryan Singer did a reasonably decent job at a DC movie… better than Zach Snyder anyway. But DC didn’t put any of them in charge of their current crop of movies, did they? They gave it to Zach Snyder; who hasn’t had a good film since 300. And 300 really wasn’t so much a good m
