i agree. I am excited to see these shows and movies under him and safran

I dont think DC will ever be good even with Gunn. Could be wrong but I doubt I am. The characters and world are just so much worse.

@@JohnSmith-ww3pu we will see

​@@JohnSmith-ww3pu No way are the characters and world of DC worse, all that matters is the person moving those pieces to tell a story. Gunn made people care about unknown D-list characters from Marvel and DC in Guardians and The Suicide Squad, I wouldn't bet against him

They initially made offers to other people who turned DC down

just correcting that it wasn't marvel. but it was a decision from disney. gunn has said Kevin didnt know. so i just think its unfair to say marvel turned their back on him. but yea DC for sure is the winner here

You know that the rivalry between Marvel and DC is just between the fans, right?

@@jestbone89 i agree that the people that work behind the scenes are friends and its mostly fans. but with every profession there is competition. doesnt have to be in box office but things like getting talent to work with you. or doing an original creative story first. i am 100% sure that studio heads don't want to repeat what another studio is doing. so they want to do it first or at least do it better. so there is rivalry in that sense.

Facts

@@HiddenSeven All of that is true.

I don't think he was implying that he had anything negative to say. He just didn't want to be cynical about the opportunities ahead of him, which come with some huge life demands and consequences.

@@pixelcultmedia4252 It’s in reference to them firing him over a series of tweets after giving them a huge hit in the form of Guardians which had no fanfare to it when they offered it to him.

Nah. They can’t keep having the same tone for all these movies.

Yes! I can only dream of not auditioning for a role and just being asked to do it haha mind you I am very early into my acting career so I’m not jumping the gun just yet. 😂😂

It means you're bankable.

Yeah, but its also kinda sad. Disney had to come in and ruin everything 😭

You’re getting your hopes up for nothing.

there were too many notes happening there.

Annihulis would be a great villain

Underrated comment

​@@shreyvaghela3963bruh imagine seeing multiple scenes of civilizations just being toppled in seconds by the billions of soldiers in the annihilation wave, holy that would be insane especially if they built it up over time and had amazing payoff (like the white walkers of game of thrones done right)

I dont think anything can make DC good in live action. Could be wrong but I doubt it.

​@@JohnSmith-ww3pulol shut up

​​@@JohnSmith-ww3puthe batman and the joker basically right there, what are you talking about

@@JohnSmith-ww3pu the batman and joker are better then all current comic book movies that come out now

​@@JohnSmith-ww3pu if Marvel can be good in live action. Why can't DC ? That's makes no sense considering they are pretty much the same thing lol

Blame them? They don't get the funding to make their own movies that's why they're after these big paychecks in tentpole filmmaking. It's life and people gotta eat. Hollywood is a shitty industry

The source material for star lord and some of the characters aren't great. Lol he basically had a clean slate for these guys but everything else you said is true, he treats his characters with respect

Talking out of your ass, Taika loves the source material. Just because he made a movie that a vocal minority doesnt like doesnt mean he's the a terrible director. Ragnarok was a game changer for the MCU following age of ultron

The true irony in that, it's how he actually re-wrote the characters to the point of influencing and re-writing the comics themselves. He was just good at what he did.

@@TheLils15 a la Blade and his re-interpretation in the 1998 and 2002 (and not so much 2004... ) movies?

As much as I love Chris I think he is too old for the plans they have for DC. Seems like they are going the younger route for casting so that they can get move time/movies out of them

​@Cardmaster you're right. However, I definitely think Chris Pratt will have a role in there somewhere. Besides, one of the reason they want younger actors is because older ones don't want the commitment of that type of role. Chris Pratt is not like that. He's made it clear how much he enjoys playing Star Lord and I think he'd play it forever

Chris Pratt as Booster Gold

@@bigbionk good one, I’m surprised that didn’t occur to me!

Chris Pratt as Guy Gardner?

We’re getting Echo and Agatha series 🫠🥴

@@sbtruestone both pointless tv shows

James Gunn doesn't like Nova.....for some reason

@@kvin9210 no shit sherlock

@Beep Boop i heard agatha was gonna be like a musical.... basically HSM 2.0 with magic

That was the plan, as Gunn alluded to in this video. But Disney fired him.

Both are happening noob. Cosmic side is future too.

@@towkirshuvo97 not any time soon.

@@youtaughtmehowtolive lol which world are you living bro

After exploring multiversal scale ,cosmic scale won't feel big man...they should have done cosmic arc first like annihilation and Nova,then multiverse

I’m looking forward to seeing what he does.

DC will always be bad no matter who is running it. Its an issue with the world and characters.

There should be a nod to Ryan Reynold’s Green Lantern 😂😢👍

Comic movies will be dead before Gunn can create anything good. Besides I’m not hopeful, woke will continue to rule in this media.

@@Iosaiv Ryan Reynolds, Deadpool, Green Lantern, James Gunn, DC, Marvel… I don’t have the joke formulated but it’s there somewhere

True

That’d actually be sick. But it’d be interesting to see how he makes his performance different than Starlord to differentiate the roles

He would be a better Guy Gardner

Without his guidance, probably not a lot. I mean look at what Takia did with eternity. Granted, I’m still under the influence that Disney rushed ass to make that movie without any prep to make that movie without anyprep.

@@tristianwhite237 I dont think james being there would’ve made that movie any better

Eternity now a joke! Thanks to Taika tight for Thor funnyson. Laughemoji

@@ontos8914 it would’ve at least made to look watchable plus with James running the cosmic side I highly doubt he would’ve let Takia use eternity

@@tristianwhite237 I don’t know about that

the problem some toxic fans that prise keep trashing on guns, and those toxic for sure they dont know previously zack snyder and james gunn already collab before in dawn of the dead... like man... they should support zack snyder rebel moon, instead keep spam jl nonstop...

​@@Salty010 Is that supposed to be English?

So you have no problem with Ezra Miller being a violent psychotic groomer? I'll bet you're a liberal too.

Personally I'm hoping for Flash to absolutely bomb so as to fully erase Ezra Miller, and then I'm on board for Gunn's DC. If Ezra stays I'm out tho.

​@DLTyrus there is 0% chance Ezra is staying, he may live in the movie but there ain't no way that guy is getting another acting role in a big franchise

Funny thing is GotG 1 was so influential for Marvel they reworked a lot of their films to fit its mold. Pretty much any character they didnt know what to do with went into the Guardians mold. Take Ragnarok for example. After the Dark World the future of Thors films became questionable. People criticized it being too dark and dreary, then came Ragnarok which took a lot of story beats and comedic effects from Guardians. The 80s theme, the zany off the wall characters like Korg, the music, the colors and practical effects felt very reminiscent of Guardians to me. And whether or not you liked the film, it did bring a new spin on the character and people seemed to like it at the time. Same thing with Antman, they interjected a lot of Guardians style chaotic humour into it as well. However you can see since Gunns departure they've still been trying to capitalize on Guardians humor, putting a typical 80s remixed song into every trailer, making every character Goofy and wacky even ones that really shouldn't be like Zeus. And a lot of what they do feels more like a parody or cheap undeserved knock offs that feel forced. It's plain to see how influential Gunn was to Marvel, and how him leaving really put a dent in their plans post endgame.

What are u talking abiut there are marvel films that dont rely on humor and are serious.

​@@yderga8707 the points u bring up only apply to thor , i dont know how it applies to ant-man. Cause they trie to apply the guardians style to shang-chi, eternals, doctor strange or black panther 2.

@@mutalemwananshiku4098 I think James Gunn is very good at knowing if something isn’t funny. It’s pretty clear that the MCU had the JG influence between the first Doctor Strange and endgame. Whether you like his humor or not it’s pretty easy to see he had a hand in most if not all of those projects, and MCU struggled pretty hard after he stopped helping them.

@@Dr.LongMonkey i dont see him having a hand with black panther and marvel has had projects that were well receieved after endgame but people ignored that just to focus on the lackluster stuff.

Great point

Are you a minor? I heard it helps.

@@mazroon where did you hear that?

I hope not

russos are worthless hacks. don't ever put them and james in the same sentence

Disney messed up firing him over old-ass tweets people said way worse during 2010 I remember. But Disney will learn eventually went box offices don’t hit as hard like Ant-man three

He’s not the person to make that decision…. It’s Disney and Warner Bros…… If they can work together, it’s gonna be possible.. Or if Disney somehow bought Warner Bros… Then it’s definitely gonna happen.. But for now, it’s wishful thinking..

Yes he's been asked. He was asked very early after he was hired. The answer as i recall was a cryptic "anything is possible". But honestly it would be a licensing nightmare that would cut so deeply into their profits, that I can't see such a project being greenlit. I doubt it would make its money back. Not to mention the battle of egos. It would end up being like Avatar 2 in the sense that it would have to make 2 billion dollars just to break even. Bottom line, there are easier ways to make money.

When he was promoting The Suicide Squad he said he had pitched a crossover to Marvel an DC.

No, just no.

Disney absolutely didn't "have to" do anything. It was one bigwig overreacting. Kevin Feige wasn't even consulted.

We'll see.

they already have for gotg vol 3. in the end he moved on like every other director who worked with them and now has other projects.

maybe he doesn't want to? maybe THESE ARE HIS PERSONAL films?

It's clear that for some reason he gets freedom to do whatever he wants with the things he's given that he essentially makes the licenses his own anyway.

No, you better shut up you’re giving them ideas. You do know James reads comments right 😂

That was not a “woke” thing, not in any actual definition of what woke means. What Disney did was to be hypersensitive and political correct, as to not allowing anyone (publicly) to have made any faux pas. This was reactivity, when people became aware of crap people had posted years before and didn’t know how to relate to that. Woke on the other hand is about becoming aware of actual injustice, as in the comparison to being asleep - which they were, because they didn’t know how to handle it. It really set back the trilogy a long time, which perhaps could have been longer even(?), and created some big humps on the way to overcome. Guardians was one of my favourites. I’m not so sure how well Gunn will do with the DCU materials,..

you realise its conservatives that got James Gunn fired??

He was fired cause of his past tweets not cause of wokeness whatever that even is.

wokeness my ass. is that your everyday vocabulary??? that's not even the reason why he was fired by Disney. it was because of his old pedophile tweets

​@@mutalemwananshiku4098 Yup it was even right extremists groups who were trying to paint off James Gunn as a horrible person because of James Gunn's inclusive views

​@@mutalemwananshiku4098 James Gunn actually made up everything the Collector said in GOTG 1 without guidelines, so he made some of the ground rules

Slapworthy comment

he said he will miss the Marvel team.

Wakanda Forever was trash.

Wakanda Forever was an insult to Chadwick Boseman. How to earn from a tragedy without writing a good story...

@@youtaughtmehowtolive but winter soldier was good right bozo?

​@@youtaughtmehowtolive Coogler did the absolute best than Zack snyder Where he had other plans & it stopped due to actors death.

@@onepunchboy83 Idk why you brought up Zack Snyder. No idea what he has to do with this. But Coogler definitely did NOT do the absolute best. T'challa should have been recast and Coogler should have been replaced as writer/director.

How did it go to hell?

Im not sure gunn haf much input in that movie.

u have to thank chloe zhao on that. if kevin consulted with james it would be about some story elements so that universe would be coherent. but the all the mature elements and realistic human relationships you mentioned was her vision. i hate when people hear one thing and apply it to everything else taking away from the people that actually worked on said project.

Well there was a global pandemic which messed up their plans

​@@mutalemwananshiku4098you're sounds very positive

@@gungdesurya how am i positive its a fact that a global pandemic messed up their plans

@@mutalemwananshiku4098 are the wokeness is not part of the original plan? is too much content is not their original plan?

@@gungdesurya what is "wokeness" exactly.

Lol no it's not

@@blackspiderman4766 Oh yeah The Marvels and Thunderbolts is gonna be better than The Batman for sure. 🙄

@@JustSomeCanadianGuy That's not entirely fair considering The Batman is a solo project so it doesn't have to make any effort setting up future movies and doesn't have to take into consideration the writing of previous directors. Compared to the MCU or DCEU if a director before you wrote something it's now your job to continue that storyline whether you like it or not. Plus Matt Reeves is an excellent director

​@@JustSomeCanadianGuy Thunderbolt has a great writer team (beef) & Good director lmao & u acts like clowm still. Yeah I agree Letting go JG is a huge loss but I am still hopeful by the changes that Marvel will overcome as they still have coogler,Favreau etc

@@JustSomeCanadianGuy lol let me guess, you claimed captain marvel was gonna “bomb”, and then when it made a billion dollars, you moved the goalposts and claimed it only succeeded because of EndGame.

@@DivertingTales we just know he may have played a role with the cosmic stuff thats about it. Favreau hadnt directed a marvel film since iron man 3. The russos while great with their work havent exactly made great stuff after leaving marvel. Ur also ignoring the movies that were well recived after endgame like shang-chi, wakanda forever, amd nwh as well as tv shows like moon knight, werewolf by night, moon knight, ms marvel,loki, wandavision. The also dumb thing about ur comment is ur acting like back then all the mcu movies while they were were around were amazing when iron man 2 wasnt as good as 1, the year after guardians 1 came out age of ultron wasnt as well received as 1, ant-man wasnt beloved. Finally there was a also a global pandemic which messed marvels plans uo the people seem to be forgetting.

Its also annoying how people forgot whedon also played a role in his movies and the the other filmmakers who made great stuff has been forgotten. Like wakanda forever which was praised as the best mcu film since endgame but i guess cause people didnt like quantumania they forgot about it.

@@DivertingTales favreau and russos are trash

that's cause he did. feige is a hack who has only ruined shit

Wasn’t that bad but Yeah he didn’t write the jokes or direct it obviously, it would be particular scenes

It made over a billion dollars so how did it need saving ?

​@@mutalemwananshiku4098oh u didn't know Disney forced that captain marvel movie is important for endgame and said this like million times ,same goes that if that there is ant man or any other movie sandwich b/w infinity war and endgame easy 1 billion And I am pretty sure that u also don't know about this when captain marvel released people were confused that if that movie is making money how the fck there are more than half empty seats in theater, for proof they took pictures. So yeah hope it help u.😊

Disney buy tickets for this movie to show it was packed theater .

@@mutalemwananshiku4098 also I am seeing that u r replying in all comments. About nothing woke on mcu phase 4 or I say m-she-u phase 4 coz u are the modern audience that doesn't understand what woke is.🤐

You claim we should take rape seriously and have respect and sympathy for rape victims, but then say wokeness is bad. Pick one lol Face it, most people are positive toward films with racial diversity and strong female characters, that’s why Disney is doing that. Because doing what most people want to see will make them money. You said they only care about money, but then also claim they have some sort of agenda… lol you’re a whole bag of contradictions.
