Respecting Source Material: I read the Percy Jackson books prior to seeing the films (as a good fellow actor friend was a principal role therein; she was surprised I easily deduced which role in which she was cast). The first film's trailers focused strongly on my friend's scenes, as her scenes _actually followed the source material;_ after which the film storyline deviated into a weird fever dream, that enraged the book series' fan base.

[@Evitzeoshowerthoughts]

Never heard of Percy Jackson movies. Only Peter Johnson movies. Percy Jackson never had movies. Hoping the Disney series will be good though.

[@landonhulett2119]

It's dumbfounding that WB laid the blueprint on how to create a united superhero universe, but couldn't do that with their live action DC movies (as of now). They HAD an opportunity with Zach Synder's foresight, but WB HAD to rush it just to catch up to Marvel's MCU. To this day, the DCAU is top notch.

[@Jay-gq1mo]

They also could've copied the DCAMU and it would've been successful

[@parafright7569]

That Lamborghini comparison was pretty good. Put a Volkswagen engine in the Lamborghini and ask "Oh, well why don't you like the Lamborghini?!" because it doesn't have a dang Lamborghini engine in it!

[@A1stardan]

DCAU was the blueprint for a cinematic universe. As explained in the video and further more, they then evolved into animated movies. Basically they did what the MCU is doing now even before MCU even existed.

[@roguechevelle]

I think Syntell is very right about too many cooks. I think unfortunately poor management from corporate execs who only crunch numbers with lack of creative vision, micromanage the heck out of things which has plagued the company. Also it's okay to do a lower budget or midrange budget movie if the story fits and quality isn't sacrificed, it's a little easier with non-super power heroes of course like Green Arrow, Wildcat, and the Question (they could even do Vic Sage's predecessor Renee Montoya who picks up the mantel).

Just look at the new one piece! Clearly, they LOVE the source material, but they’ve changed story bears but it’s clear that the writers adore Oda’s work. Even people who’ve never read or watch one piece bring up the exact same things they like about Luffy.

[@brianng8350]

They can and should have a long term plan, they just don’t have to announce it to everyone until they are moderately set. I heard Thanos was just plugged in by Joss Wheaton at the end of Avengers, but there was no immediate plans for him or that he was going to be the big bad for a whole series of movies.

[@zmani4379]

Another nice video from the Koays! Take care of heavy hitters: One caveat here is that this isn’t happening in a vacuum - Gunn isn’t “starting up” - he’s TRANSITIONING, so maybe better to start w different characters now rather than reboot immediately some icon we’ve just recently seen (plus we do have the Snyder-verse-ish sequels coming out - pity about Gadot/ Jenkins) MCU had the luxury of introducing Thor, Iron Man, etc to cineplex audiences, who weren’t already watching them again and again in other movies - plus, these weren’t their “diamond” characters - the most iconic Marvel characters like Spidey had been licensed out to other companies Regarding “respecting the source material” - with iconic figures who’ve been done many times over, like Batman or Superman - sometimes this revising helps keep these figures fresh for audiences - Nolan made a point of challenging our ideas about Batman (and both Ledger and Phoenix radically revised our notion of Joker, both to huge success) - even the MCU Namor was very successful w huge changes to the material Excellent points here about character in relation to genre and tone

[@mikeduplessis8069]

When he said 'fans love these characters' my first thought was 'Uh, no we don't'. A robot guy and a bald superman? I don't even remember them in comic books.

[@CaptainPikeachu]

You don’t necessarily need to hire people who are fans for the source material, what is actually more important is hiring writers who know how to tell good stories in general. Case in point, arguably the best bit of Star Trek, the film Wrath of Khan, was made by Nicholas Meyer who wasn’t even a Trek fan and didn’t know much about the franchise at all, but he knew how to tell a strong story and that film was a huge success. An example again is last year Andor show for Star Wars, Tony Gilroy is noted to not be a Star Wars fan and couldn’t care less about it but again he knew how to tell a good strong story and the strong writing proved Andor a cut above most of the Star Wars properties in the recent years. Being a fan is great, but it’s easy to forget that sometimes fan creatives can get caught up in things being a nostalgia fest and lose track of the story. Good writing is more important than just a love for the source material.

[@Dilligff]

That is almost the exact same argument given by the studios when describing their bigger failures. I don't think the argument is without merit in some cases, but there is a certain level of respect and understanding of a pre-established worlds or characters that needs to exist that is proportionate to the size and scope of its overall fan base. Only a really strong and talented writer can come in completely blind and have any hope at success, but I'd argue that even then it would still require at least a superficial understanding. A bigger travesty is when they are dismissive or even belligerent towards the source material.

[@CaptainPikeachu]

@@Dilligff most of these big franchises are big enough that most people already have superficial understanding of the universe through just existing in the real world and knowing pop culture. Besides, plenty of content have been made over the years by big fans of certain properties and they don’t end up well. So I would say again that fan level and “respect” is not necessary. Any good writer should be focused on knowing how to write a good story first and then surround themselves with production people who do have love for the source material and know the worlds deeply. The importance is just being a good writer who is open to collaborating and taking in ideas from others and keeping things balanced.

[@j.aghoul3147]

Ur point make sense but it relies on the rarest of instances. Fans of the series means u most likely understand character & their motivation better & why the fans are attracted to those characters. Carryin that toward a adaption even if it's is tellin a bit different to complete new storyline can work, of course there are cons like u mentioned of nostalgia bait etc but if translated seamlesslyto a new audience keepin that same energy & quality of a story I don't see a problem in that(one piece live action). In the end havin both traits is much better than one or the other.

[@brucechmiel7964]

Shazam was not a B lister. If you ever walked into a book store. You would have at least learned of the New 52. A complete brand reboot of all the DC heroes for better or for worse. Shazam got re-branded and became one of the main leads in the justice league. Fans have known about him for a long time going back to the DCAU with the superman versus Shazam fight in Justice league Unlimited back then he was Captain Marvel. He also played a major role in the young justice animated series also back then as captain Marvel, so he is well known, the fact you guys don’t know about it’s not my problem because it’s obvious you don’t read comic books, nor do you watch cartoons. And the new 52 was a chance to not only rebrand the entire DC comic book universe, but also do new things with its core characters and 11 side characters. So it was really good like the batgirl series was actually really decent. Batman still sort like hotcakes, but they kind of screwed around with the teen titans and that whole mess so for a lot of movie going Normies Shazam is not as obscure as you might think.

"Verisimilitude" -Richard Donner

[@Jigsaw407]

Yeah ... that's always so idiotic. They take the name of an IP, because they have a fan base (aka built in audience), and then change everything about it that is loved by those very people they tried to appeal to by using the IP in the first place. What's to gain by actively pissing people off?

[@carlosrvra]

I understand why Marvel put Spider-Man in Civil War... MONEY... but that was a HUGE mistake for Spider-Man, Ant Man, AND Tony Stark. Forcing SM into CW made Ant Man switch teams, which made NO SENSE given his whole first movie was about getting clean and reuniting with his daughter, and they had to make his character suddenly love Captain America more than his own daughter to do it. Ant Man should ABSOLUTELY have been on the government's side, if he was gonna be there at all. As for Spider-Man, it is INSANE to think Tony Stark would invite some rando kid to the battle. Especially when Tony tries to excuse Peter the minute Peter gets hurt. Like, WHAT did Tony think was gonna happen in a battle with SUPERS?!?! If anything, THIS is when Peter could have been on a class trip in Europe, he hear's about a commotion, and he sticks his nose in where it doesn't belong, getting the attention of the heroes for a future movie plot. Or, have the fight at JFK or LaGuardia so Peter can easily show up. Or, SAVE PETER for the Spider-Mens movies rather than shoe-horn him into a movie that makes no sense. Frankly, with the exception of bits & pieces, I've been more disappointed than not with choices that make NO sense in the Tom Holland SM movies. And it is SUPER telling that the BEST villains of the third movie in HIS franchise, are from OTHER franchises.

[@jermainesneed1002]

Respecting the source material is not the same as following it step by step. I’m not sure why people think you can just adapt things word for word when adapting it to a totally different media. Step back and really think about the MCU’s adaptations.

[@atishsingh8926]

Exactly. Anime has to follow the same rules. Different media has different strengths and weaknesses

[@j.aghoul3147]

​@@atishsingh8926 hard disagree, breaking stereotypes of previous establish "standard". It's a process sure but if the source material already a hit how can it fail in the adaption of it as 1:1. Just need to let the new audience get used to it. The quality story will help in that process. P.s I can understand some stories just impossible to translate into other meduim without losing what made it fun/hit/good/enjoyable in the first place, for that u let people become use to it in it's original meduim. No need to force adapted it 😅

[@j.aghoul3147]

​​@atishsingh8926 2nd: comparing marvel and dc with revamped, reiteration of stories with same characters, different version of character to an Anime based single book linear story is an unfair comparison. With marvel & dc u can mix & match create succesful stories or Creat jr own for specific media if the basic like character personality & motivation remains the consistent. This is not seen as disrespectful. While with a linear already great story(e.g anime) changes like these will more likely hurt the quality + is less acceptable & is seen as disrespectful to the original, author and og fans.

[@mzukisimtshelu6596]

Just to correct jabi...the marvel fans love phase 1 up to phase 3...phase 4 is when they just started doing it for the money, they iver saturated the genre to the point where some of us are starting to ger fatigued with the superhero genre. add to that the fact that they regularly commit character assassination I,e hawkeye and thor by nerfing the said characters so that they can replace them with their female counterparts and you get fans who don't like where the mcu is currently heading.

[@Stanlos]

@ 11:32 the thing that Dan DiDio and Geoff Johns MOST NEEDED TO HEAR is stated. Had they followed this advice, they would not have shat all over Wonder Woman, Dick Grayson, and so many others in the books. And we wouldn't be in what amounts to an apocalyptic wasteland in DC Comics right now. The KZbinr says follow the source material--I would go further and say follow the ICONIC source material. Forget about Dan and Geoff's try hard edgelord BS from Flashturd and New 52 onward since with those things they tried put other nonDC characters in DC drag. #No

[@pradeep92917]

There's no need to write a story exactly in comics You need to be creative that audience should never expect what is going on but love it and realize later what is going on.... I personally liked the story of BATMAN vs SUPERMAN I think that's a unique way to bring a War Rugged Batman (I loved the way they showcased that movie, the way showcased the each side of the story) The stupid thing what the DC did is that they didn't made a proper sequel for Wonder Woman (it was not worst but not so great than the 1st part) Later they again screwed things like not taking Snyder cut version of JL The issue is that there are many people on the chair decide and if one like it, the other do not..... They should make a person as a president, the head to take care of stories, new characters, the new phase of they are trying to make Also the actors and makers issues, lack of respect towards each other... I think after the FLASH movie there will be a reboot and FLASH must've done either stupid or something great thats gonna change the timelines and we might be seeing another universe Reboot stories but not the Justice League 2017 (2021 Snyder cut) i mean they might bring the original JL back after a while

Personally i was always a fan of the DC animated stuff, while i don't liked that much of their movies and thought they should have rather taken the DCAU as blueprint for the DCEU. And people may kill me or that, but Tyler Hoechlin or even Dean Cain are 100 times more the Superman i want to see than what Henry Cavill has played. I mean ok, he has the best physically, but what he has played was more like a flying Batman with some Godzilla genes injected 😄

[@beldin2987]

Oh and thats totally what i always think what he says about layering the Batman tone over the whole franchise. Thats why i never liked Man of Steel, but Aquaman was great because that was the first movie of the DCEU that didn't looked like as if it was just a swimming Batman in another Gotham.

yes and no.. to the Tone thing... DC animated series (2010's) are tone wise all serious ( at least the good ones) i am a grown up person not 10 years old, i am a realist, thats why i think the Winter Soldier was the best MCU movie tone wise, and i hate Thor Ragnarok/Thor Love and Thunder all that comedy is misplaced.. the character in the comic's ( prior the new "progressive writers) was never funny, was a simpleton was half way towards Hulk smash mentality, but not a man-child you can make fun of, or talk down... i Loved Man of Steel, cos it was made to feel like real life, and in real life if your opponent is on equal footing in terms of strength and is hellbent on a fight in a city, you cant do shit against that, and in a life or death fight (especially if it's over the extinction of all humans) you dont have the luxury to care about collateral damage, cos the stakes are to high..

[@ingolf82]

fun fact about the Lamborghini thing. someone in my country once rebuilt a Toyota Supra into a Ferrari. he took the car apart, ordered Ferrari parts and rebuilt it. the rebuild cost more than 3 times the car's original price, but when he was done, he had a Ferrari with a worse motor in it (Toyota motor). the car looked fantastic though. the thing with Kevin Feige though is that he is incredibly woke. And I mean, extremely. He is the reason Marvel is now failing. Phase 4 and now 5 are complete failures. I haven't seen a Marvel film since Black Widow, because of Kevin Feige. I don't know if I will ever enjoy another Marvel movie. So that's why Infinity war sucked donkey ¤#%&s, there was no plan. such a terribly written movie it's laughable. Now it all makes sense

[@summertyme5748]

_the thing with Kevin Feige though is that he is incredibly woke_ Most people are not Incels who hate women and non whites. You don't represent most audiences, you're just loud and obnoxious. That's why the Snyderverse movement failed. You think you are commanding an army when it's just 5 dudes who still live with mom. As for Feige - he went over his bosses heads at Marvel to make Black Panther and Captain Marvel - you know - the films you hate, for 'reasons'. Those films made almost 3 billion dollars between them and also won multiple Oscars. Feige has 99 problems, but an Incel isn't one.

Obviously, the coin of the realm is excessive amounts of money to waste. Why don't they let the pendulum swing in the opposite direction. Try making a decent movie with a very limited budget...with the use of some imagination and discerning exposition...someone can make a dynamic character driven movie with some potential. Throwing "money" at a project is not the formula..... if the basic premise is not sound. This rebooting is getting tired....how many Flash...Batmen...Jokers can a DC universe accept? Sad to say..I don't feel Gunn is the answer...while I respect his talents....fresh blood is needed. Some people out of the "loop" could save this cluster-f^%$. Perhaps some Anima directors??
