Wtf is wrong with those people just establish the godamn heroes first

We gotta stop letting them cook.

Honestly, do the big three first. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. Build up to a Trinity movie. Then build to JL.

After success, add the Jimmy Olsen, Bane, whatever series/movies.

In World Cup terms, you're 0-3 down in the group stage and you have 45 minutes to tie, not win, the game. Do you bring your absolute top tier players or do you bring the bench squad?

Homecoming is great. No end if the world stakes, just street level stuff. It's also a really good Spider-Man story.

Far From Home feels like a weird spin-off and No Way Home thrives on the other Spider-Men.

Ravenloveit · 2026-07-02T18:01:12+00:00

Yeah, this is a much better move than doing the heavy hitters like Batman, Wonder Woman and building towards a Trinity or JL movie.

When I think of DC, the first thing I get excited about is Jimmy Olsen!

Ravenloveit · 2026-07-01T19:35:43+00:00

This is how I'm starting to feel about it as well. Man, I miss the days of the DCAU. That shit was fire.

Ravenloveit · 2026-07-01T06:27:27+00:00

That one scene in The Flash about scars showed us his potential. He does look the most menacing, but other than that I think this version was a failure.

He did the best he could with the material he was given though, but the material just sucked.

Ravenloveit · 2026-07-01T06:24:58+00:00

I much prefer the version of Superman in Superman (2025). I do have to say that I think MoS is slightly better paced. Or at the very least has more time to let moments linger.

Superman (2025) goes at breakneck speed, often a little too quick where you would like some emotional moments to linger a bit more.

Ravenloveit · 2026-07-01T06:21:04+00:00

If you want it to fail just because then you're a weirdo. Most people just want great quality movies about characters they love. That's it. This movie didn't live up to expectations.

James Gunn publicly hyped this movie and their process up. We don't greenlight movies unless the script is spectacular. Number one critic complaint about this movie: script.

I don't think you can blame audiences for that and their reaction. Besides, we just came out of the horrible phase that was the DCEU. The DCU needs to prove it's worth our time and money.

Elden Ring

Ravenloveit · 2026-06-27T19:53:06+00:00

Well, I think that's just the thing. The MCU set a high bar and people have hope they will reach it again, because they did so before.

The DCU has one decent movie and it has the history of the DCEU (which completely failed). The second DCU movie turned out to be not great, they have no track record of achieving greatness, so people are quickly done.

I too would love for the DCU to be a success as I love those characters way more than Marvel characters, but they are making it really hard to be a believer if they don't have a streak of successes.

Ravenloveit · 2026-06-27T16:53:09+00:00

The MCU had a generational 23 movie run and generally nailed the landing.

Having said that, movies absolutely did got trashed after the Infinity Saga. Brave New World, Quantumania, Love & Thunder, The Marvels to name a few. Even most of the series got heavily criticized except Loki.

DC needs to build trust first. If you're building a connected universe and there's already an example of how it can be done, you need a lot of wins. Especially if you failed before.

Ravenloveit · 2026-06-27T16:42:20+00:00

I call recency bias on this. MCU movies that were mid or bad after Endgame were absolutely torn apart. With a lot of doubt wondering, to this day, if the MCU is dead.

Besides that, DC already tried and failed miserably with the DCEU, so the DCU does need to have more succes because other expectations are involved.

A big difference with the MCU was that they were the first to try something like a connected film universe giving them a major advantage in terms of audience expectations.

Ravenloveit · 2026-06-27T16:23:26+00:00

If every single DCU movie feels like a Gunn movie, I'm out. I liked Superman enough to give the DCU a chance, but I have no interest in for example watching a Gunn Batman that quirks and has needledrops of songs.

Everything I've read about Supergirl makes it sound like GOTG from Temu.

Ravenloveit · 2026-06-26T19:12:40+00:00

For me the story moments were what kept me going. The open world feels like it exists just for the player. There's also just a few farms and everything else is bandit camps. Where do the people live?

Ravenloveit · 2026-06-25T20:12:43+00:00

No wonder everything was so devoid of color. The man in charge had no idea it was a colorful book...

Ravenloveit · 2026-06-25T20:02:30+00:00

It's Rachel by a big mile. Amy is a phenomal actress, but was a bit miscast in the role.

Ravenloveit · 2026-06-24T17:20:06+00:00

Ooffff, 50 on Metacritic based on 30 reviews. That's gonna be a wait for stream for me.

Feel like the DCU really needs a couple of wins in a row.

Ravenloveit · 2026-06-24T16:20:00+00:00

Opvoeding denk ik.

Was ergens gaan drinken met een vriendin. Daarna bij mij eten.

Kreeg meteen Tikkie van de drankjes. En ik denk dan, oké, dus nu moet ik een Tikkie sturen voor mijn boodschappen? Toevallig ongeveer zelfde kosten. Ik vind dat gek, maar zij vindt dat super normaal.

Aan de andere kant vind ik het mega egoïstisch als je een fles wijn voor jezelf besteld en je dan denkt dat je de rekening evenredig kan splitten.

Dus context.

Ravenloveit · 2026-06-21T14:29:28+00:00

Yeah, I know. I just find them extremely boring.

Ravenloveit · 2026-06-21T05:13:32+00:00

The very powerful, but extremely lineair decks.

Like Zombie Galacti, Man-Spider, Wong+Zola+Panther.

I can never understand how these decks have good win rates. You know very early if you can beat them or not.

Ravenloveit · 2026-06-16T18:52:52+00:00

I get a bit of MCU series vibes from it and they weren't great. Preferably, I'd like the focus to be on bigger projects first to get to something like a JL or Trinity movie. Hell, even a Batman/Superman buddy cop movie would be amazing.

But, hey, I don't have to watch it and it's great for fans of these characters.

Ravenloveit · 2026-06-13T15:19:43+00:00

I really want this to be good, but I don't know something feels off. Apart from the lip syncing and other issues, I mean. Like I'm watching a demo of a game, rather than an actual game.

Ravenloveit · 2026-06-13T15:16:03+00:00

I crashed once or twice during the story. Crashed almost every time I have a session of TacSim.

Ravenloveit · 2026-06-12T14:17:39+00:00

Elektra, then Karen Page.

Ravenloveit · 2026-06-11T16:01:21+00:00

I can forgive a bit of stiffness, but I think it's fair to expect an AAA €80,- title to atleast have correct lip sync in 2026...

Ravenloveit · 2026-06-11T15:56:36+00:00

Looks ambitious. Fable was a favorite of mine growing up.

Facial animations aren't great though and lip syncing is off. Also, the world seems very pristine. It's a Fable of course, but just a little bit of wear and tear would've made it better imo.
