It’s going to be so campy and so overcrowded.

The story makes me wonder about when Grace finally has the opportunity to return to Earth. He would have made it back no less than 45 Earth years after his departure. There would be statues of him in every world capitol. He saved everyone.


I don’t think Grace goes home. There’s nobody for him on Earth and his best friend is on Erid.

I really enjoyed it, but am I wrong that Gosling just acted like Gosling?


I hear you but he had to carry a semi-serious movie with a puppet. He was engaging, gave his character depth, and carried the movie without chewing up scenery. Most Oscars are basically glorified impersonations. This was more impressive.
They’ve also done a terrible job using Savannah as a character.

I didn’t follow it much when it came out. Had low expectations because I thought it was a knockoff of The Martian or Interstellar.

Watched it this weekend. What an amazing film. Really good acting, writing, etc. I agree that Gosling deserves an Oscar. He carries the entire movie in an engaging way.
Court of Owls would be perfect for this universe
In most of other industries, the head of the project would be fired after a disaster like that instead of risking the loss of hundreds of millions of more money.

Same needs to happen to Gunn. This has been an absolutely terrible start to the DCU and considering his track record, he isn't capable of turning it around. Surely WB sees this.

I think we are fortunate to have two (or even 3 if you count DeSantis) really good candidates for POTUS. All three would beat whoever the Dems put up but in my opinion, Rubio is better built for a general election.

Well the women certainly aren’t complaining about the deal and if the men did, they would be cancelled.

Gunn's Superman


It was campy and it shite all over the mythos of Superman. David Corenswet could be a really good Superman but not in this current universe. Superman movies should have a cultural impact. That was a forgettable film.

I don’t think Gunn will get the chance to do the same thing to Batman and WW.

It's not going to be a financial disaster. Nolan's name alone will drag it past the threshold for profitability. It just won't be the mega-hit it could have been.


This. They’ll leave a lot of money on the table but it won’t be a “Go woke, get broke” situation.

Who wanted this movie?


James Gunn. That’s it
I remember it and it was a really cool scene.

Of course sportstalk shows that week were full of callers saying it was rigged.
Everyone knew a year ago this movie would be dogshit. The Gunn DCU is practically dead at this point. Nobody’s clamoring for more after a very meh Superman movie and now this.

Do we really want to waste Batman and Wonder Woman on this clown?
Can you imagine how different life in this country would be if he had found a way to win that election? Forget about the screwed up corruption that would’ve happened under him, but Florida wouldn’t have led the nation out of Covid like it did under DeSantis. Lockdowns would’ve gone on for another year or two.
