The Flash FLOPPED And It's YOUR fault

[@disparutoo]

The Flash flopped a long time ago at the cinema, yet the director Andrés Muschietti thinks the problem is that the movie didn't appeal to literally everybody. While it's true in this instance, is it even possible to make movies for everybody? Movie budgets have become so bloated that they might think this is a requirement, but isn't the actual solution to reduce the budgets so that they're profitable with the target market? Why is it controversial to even talk about target markets in the first place? And can Hollywood even be profitable until they accept that different shows should be made for different markets? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

[@anubusx]

I agree studios need to get thier budgets under control.

[@Toothless_Cowboy]

Well one reason I did not even bother watching the new flash shows is that was not the barry allen I grew up seeing in the comics. Blonde adult working in the crime lab. Honestly the 1990 tv series did it better then the newest one. Now if you think of it as a alternate universe it's not a problem the character age etc. but then the writing is what makes or breaks it and yeah even though I like the flash I could not watch that show.

[@SammEater]

The fact they expected people to show up for a movie with TWO Ezra Millers was kinda hilarious, one is already annoying enough...

The movie failed not because people don't like Flash, but because: - Ezra Miller compromised himself in the eyes of society; - Warners kicked out all the unsullied actors like Cavill and canceled their projects; - The movie was remade a bunch of times and it resembled a stupid hodgepodge; - The movie was about something everyone had seen in the TV series and animation; - A reboot was announced, which made the movie unnecessary; - Warner Bros. and DC Studios are idiots who don't know what they want.

I wish more people like myself would be given an opportunity to act, but I understand the lack of interest, and the limited scenarios and situations that a movie with disabled people in it would have. I mean, I have cerebral palsy. However, I don't think I could watch a period piece where a group of spastic English people in wheelchairs try to pour each other tea.

The biggest issue they're having is theyre trying to make these movies now appeal to women. We women who are already fans of these movies don't want that...we just want good movies. Stop blaming us for when your movies don't do well. Also if James Gunn approves I can almost guarantee it's shit.

[@luxgh]

I'm a girlie girl and my favorite superhero from DC is batman, I watched every cartoon I could of him growing up and I'm not about to waste my hard earned money to watch them destroy my favorite character and turn him into a braindead version of himself. Also wanting women to watch your movie where the main star has a criminal record involving minors and women isn't a smart move.

[@clockworkcrazy5121]

I agree, it really sucks being constantly blamed for a piece of media failing. For the past few years, studios have been continually and unfairly blaming men for their failures, and accusing us of being bigots and all sorts of other awful and untrue things after quite literally telling us "This movie isn't made for you." I know that most people just sort of shrug it off, but for me personally, being consistently told that I'm a terrible human being just for not watching a movie really hurts.

I agree. a movie does not make money because people does not watch it. now why people does not watch it that is a question that should be good to ask for this people. I don't go to movies anymore. Everything now is because they are geniuses and they deserve everything...well, I will burn my money somewhere else.

[@itsabouttthattime]

George Lucas set out to make films that his 8 year-old self wished for. He got lucky and his vision appealed to everyone from 5-65. The important thing, though, is that 8 year-old boys LOVED it. That's how you succeed. By making YOUR VISION, not checking boxes or "maximizing audience".

They've _almost_ grasped that _The Audience_ are the ones who decide if a film is good or not.

[@davidfinch7407]

Women being the issue might be correct. After all, they went to go see Aquaman. Muscular, sexy, masculine Aquaman, played by an actor that didn't assault women off-screen. And for some reason, Ezra Miller didn't appeal to them. Hmmm. I have a weird thought- maybe, if you want a movie to succeed, you should pick a lead that has charisma and isn't disgusting.

[@veeganboy]

Oh no! Not again. I somehow seem to keep ruining these modern Hollywood movies that I had absolutely NO involvement in. I'm a terrible person.

The people making excuses for James Gun, saying he was trying to drum up hype are exactly the problem. They don't even realize that he is lying to them and screwing them and they're willing to give him the benefit of the doubt... What a bunch of suckers

[@daninagy4173]

As a proud DC fanboy, my favorite character is The Flash. I loved him in the animated series (JL, JLA, Superman, Brave and Bold, Young Justice) even more than Batman. I liked the CW Flash for a while, but then we all know what happened... Flashpoint Paradox and the other animated movies made me love him more, regardless of him being Barry or Wally. I was open to a new live action Flash in the DCU, but after we found out what Miller was like, I checked out...

[@andresanguianozuniga6798]

Yeah.

[@Madison-iw8ix]

People still think about The Flash and Miller?

Back in the 1980s my friends mostly thought Flash and Aquaman sucked. They said they would be dumb in a solo movie and they seem to have been right. So little kids knew what executives don't seem to get. People just don't want these characters, except as co-stars for Superman and Batman

[@MyAramil]

People do want these characters though. They want them done right and not this crap.

[@kingcosworth2643]

[@MamaMOB]

The Flash television show is pretty damn awesome for the first two seasons. When they were actually trying to be in the movies. So that was done well. So it does seem that people do in fact want the flash. And if Aquaman had a better story it probably would have done well. Jason Momoa is hot as hell! We do want the superheroes. We just want them to have good storylines. We went good movies with them in it.

[@andresanguianozuniga6798]

No, they are not right. Both Aquaman films are...decent. And the Flash is interesting with villains like the Rogues. Plus the CW series worked to some degree. Both people and DC are the ones who don't want to live just about Superman and Batman.

It still amazes me that with the tech to create anything you can imagine, Hollywood immediately ran out of imagination. The irony!

[@fortcastellan1730]

You can make a 4-Quadrant movie (I've heard National Treasure described as such) but it's really hard. It takes a lot of skill, a lot of luck, and you just have to choose the right topic/genre/theme for the movie. In any case, it's very risky to bet 200 million dollars (or more) on getting the formula right. Especially when you start off with so many challenges; Ezra Miller as the star, being part of the flailing DCEU, featuring a weird non-standard Super Girl instead of the version people know and sort-of love, etc...

[@sba8710]

Don’t forget the massive problem caused by Ezra Miller as the star.

[@bartlester591]

I’m really sick and tired of Hollywood’s argument that if a $50 million movie grossed $1 billion then a $2 billion movie will goss 40 billion it’s time to set aside. This will have a big budget so it’s not going to fail. Big budget. Movies can fail and the reason they fail is because no one pays attention to one the audience and what they want and two the subject matter and if there’s any kind of already established lore and if you’re going against that and the third thing a two or three hour movie that is nothing more than a rather expensive light show that gets nauseating overuse of special effects is just as bad as not as lazy, writing and dumbass directors

Ezra Miller was one of the creepiest things I've ever seen coming out of Hollywood....and that title was up against some stiff competition with that crowd. That the production staff and producers couldn't see this says more about them than Miller.

Finn from Star Wars should have completed his sacrifice in Episode 8, which would have been a powerful end to his arc, but Rose's interference undermined his journey and left his character unresolved.

[@gagatube]

Dude, you can't have a male character becoming popular and the actor growing in his role in 'Modern Star Wars'. I'll bet KK was on to that in a flash: "Hello Script-writing? Audience research says Finn is gaining a substantial following and it's growing, so obviously he'll have to die at the end of the current movie. Write in a character to replace him. What? Of course the new character should be female! And while you're at it, make her Asian and gay!"

As a kid born in 1984, I always knew that Transformers was for boys, My Little Pony for girls and Care Bears was for toddlers! That has basically stayed the same, guys love watching giants robots smacking the crap out of each other, it's very satisfying, it's why Gundam is popular among guys as well, though the Real Robot aspect sees it appeal to our love for things mechanical, for construction, machinery and how things work, it's also why Model Kits, Gunpla in particular, are popular, mainly among the dangly bit group, we like building stuff! There is, however, crossover! Not everyone who builds Gunpla is male, jus look at my mate and his wife! They build kits all the time, well, she can, when the crackpot cats aren't nicking the decals, Tamari! The same goes for My Little Pony, jus look at Friendship is Magic and the rise of the "Brony"! They also know who their target audience is, it's jus that it is so well written than jus about anybody can find enjoyment in it, can find something that appeals, that calls out to them! And I understand Lauren Faust has form in that regard as well!

[@lmnop6140]

Meh. I was a little girl during that era. I played Transformers or Thundercats with my friends every day at recess. We were a rowdy bunch. Loved G.I.Joe and Ninja turtles too. I get why boys shy away from the more feminine shows, but I've never met a Barbie loving girl who didn't also secretly wish to own that freaking awesome Hot Wheels track. Best Christmas of my life was the one where my parents listened and bougot me an electric train and a radio controlled race car.
