Amber Heard had a lot more screen time and "hero" moments than I was expecting. It proves they didn't diminish her role cause of controversy, but merely shifted the co-lead role to Patrick because he has better chemistry with Jason than Amber, which is exactly what WB said in court. They weren't lieing, cause they had an easy moment in the plot that could've kept her out of the whole film.

So let’s get this straight. Johnny was fired from all his active roles, and blacklisted by Hollywood the INSTANT her accusations of abuse went public.

He was a miscast to begin with. Its no surprise that we want him to play Lobo and he would fit the role like a glove.

This is something that concerned me immensely when James Gunn announced the new DC slate. I think instead of committing to a partial reboot by keeping projects from the Zack Snyder era. They needed to fully commit to the reboot and start from 0. They probably had to rework the existing movies to fit the vision of a completely new DCEU direction, and it’s just very difficult to achieve this.

[@jamesatkinsonja]

The whole 2023 slate has had a very 'dead on arrival' feel to it and it's not surprising they've all flopped so far. I don't feel that the messy+ public way Gunn's gone about it has helped either [such as offering Ben Affleck a directing job which Affleck said he had no interest in]. I agree they should have just said the old DCU is dead so not spending any more money on these and then start afresh [2025 is probably too early but he'll need to show results].

The problem is that everything post ss2 felt dead on arrival because the old guard was to damn stubborn to listen to what we actually wanted like they had multiple chances to Jumpstart this universe again but each time they completely said to the fans and audiences go fuck yourselves and imo they purposely released the worst versions of every movie from black adam going forward to kill the dceu

This could have been a movie of the story of a dedicated good King battling a villain and overcoming an evil plot. And saving his kingdom. Edit: carrying on where the previous movie left off, but with a more mature king (Jason Mamoa is now several years older after all). As he took on more responsibility and gained experience through conflicts.

I disagree, it was a great movie. Unfortunately all the drama may have changed the true vision but I liked the brother bonding and redemption of Orm. The fact that the baby was taken from grandpa by Manta was devastating (feeling of it’s over) I means the stakes we’re getting pretty high for aqua man. His wife almost died then his dad, his son and the possibility of his brother turning on him also. It was good. Especially how they all came to rescue the baby at the end 👏🏽 They whooped ass for that baby

Honestly, WB should have priortised marketing blue beetle this year, it was the dc film that was best received and had the least amount of drama surrounding it. Ik blue beetle is kinda unknown, but for that same reason, it needed more marketing to get the gp interested.

[@jamesatkinsonja]

The big issue with 'Blue Beetle' was that it was intended for Streaming/TV, not the cinema [similar to the cancelled Batgirl film]. Coming so soon after the bomb of 'The Flash' didn't help it either, as did having Barbieheimer as competition. Maybe delaying it to a quite time next year [plenty of opportunities given the strikes have thinned out the schedule] and presented it as a 'stand alone' film rather than linking it to the DCU would have helped.

[@freman007]

Why? Blue Beetle was marketed as a movie that speaks to the Latin American immigrant experience, not a superhero movie, and frankly, as a non-American, I couldn't care less about the Latin American immigrant experience. If I'm giving a theatre $20 I expect two hours of entertainment, not to be lectured by millionaire celebrities.

[@kenxyooj2684]

@@RaymondSanders-f8c Respectfully disagree about the first Guardian being the best one. It’s good, but I thought the third one was his best Guardians movie. As of recently, if he’s to show us what he’s got and go out with a bang, Guardians 3 is the one that shows us what he’s capable of. It got dark/emotional at times and lighthearted at times (my big nitpick was that I wish the tone from serious to lighthearted transitioned more seamlessly). That one-shot fight scene at the end was great, and I hope he incorporates that into the DCU.
