@My name is Irrelevant Shazam, Wonder Woman, and Joker were really good movies. The only thing holding back Wonder Woman was the CGI nightmare final battle it had, and the only thing holding back Aquaman for me was the writing. I have no idea why they hired the same guy who wrote Venom. The only reason this cinematic universe is trash (at the moment) is because of Warner Bros. and their stupid executives, who didn't care about DC's characters or their universe. They didn't even care about the filmmakers. They literally chopped up David Ayer's Suicide Squad movie behind his back. The reason I said (at the moment) is because Warner Bros. was bought by AT&T, and those stupid executives are gone now. That's why Shazam and Joker were such good films. AT&T is a whole different story. The executives over there actually care. And with all of these announcements, and movies that sound amazing in development, I think the DCEU has a bright future.😁 But now that I think about it, if they actually cared about Renee Montoya, Cassandra Cain, or Black Canary, they wouldn't have fucked up their characters so much in Birds of Prey.

[@wildwesley9328]

I have to disagree with you on T’Challa loosing the fight with Kilmonger, “because the plot needs him to lose”. He loses that fight because he’s struggling with his feelings of empathy for his cousin, whom he not only finds out exists but had a shitty life divorced from his culture directly because of his father who he idolizes and had just died. He doesn’t want to kill his cousin because he feels guilty not only about his fathers betrayal but because he is realizing that his ancestors’ policy of not sharing their amazing technology and remaining secretive has been detrimental to the rest of the world. On the other hand Kilmonger is solely looking to kill him out of a lifelong revenge plan. The reason why he’s able to defeat Eric at the end is because he is able to speak with his ancestors, including his father, and confront them about their bad choices, decide to do better, and realize the type of king that he is meant to be. He goes into the last fight against an overly confident/arrogant Kilmonger, with help (he was alone in the first), and a sense of who he is as a leader. He has forgiven himself and reconciled his guilt and plans to move forward and make changes. I’m not saying the plot of Black Panther is the best, most original writing out there,but it does deserve credit where it’s due.

Aside from turning Arthur from a serious and stoic hero into a dumber than rocks dudebro, they took like 4 different storylines and crammed them all into one movie but give none of them the time or respect they deserve. The Trench (the Lovecraft monsters as you say), the search for Atlanna, the Throne of Atlantis, the seven kingdoms (okay, this one was never actually made because Geoff Johns never returned to the Aquaman title).

@@sylens750 but it is, like, very much so. It has amazing action sequences, and that's about it. Black Manta was an utter waste of screentime, the "romance" between Arthur's parents is creepy and poorly written as fuck, Arthur's father names his son after a calamity, then makes the nod to King Arthur, as if the elements that were lazily lifted off of that narrative weren't blatant enough, then the movie even rips off How to Train Your Dragon 2, lazily interrupts every bit of lazily delivered exposition with explosions, and so on, and so on, and so fucking on. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you are able to enjoy it and I wouldn't want to take that from you, but in terms of writing, direction, soundtrack and in some instances acting, it is an objectively bad movie. But it's, of course, possible and allowed to enjoy bad things.

Aquaman is still not as bad as that batman cup. Like seriously, who makes ears on a cup?

[@davidt.5920]

just a monster can do something like this
