No one has heard of Captain Marvel. Let's be honest now. I can take a random sample of Captain Marvel and show them a picture of Captain Marvel in costume and I doubt any more than 2 women would know who that was. 2 is being really generous.
I was talking about gaf specifically.
But yes, the lower profile of the role is likely part of the reason.

Man of Steel still best rated DCEU movie!
Same with Wonder Woman before BvS
And yes, she is iconinic. But no, the USA arent everywhere in the world.

No, Watchmen is, if you know what I mean.
Well fuck. So basically BvS 2.0 but issue is tone, not runtime.

There were two cuts tested - Ayer's original and a cut WB worked on themselves with Trailer Park (who did some of the trailers here). WB's cut initially won and end result seems to be a mad mishmash of both.

If you know someone you really can't stand - not someone you dislike, not someone who rubs you the wrong way, but someone you really loathe and detest - send that person a ticket for "Suicide Squad."

HAHAHAHAHAHHA. 0/4 is getting fucking personal now.

WB seem so short sighted. They won't give people time to let these projects develop and then jump in and try to take over. Maybe that could have worked 20 years ago but audiences are used to action films with a strong directorial vision. Hopefully they avoid this with WW since it had a longer lead time.

I can't wait to hear nothing but positive things on Wonder Woman, just to have this circus all over again right before release.
There is no way WB can release DCEU can release 4 bad films in a row, no way. That would be just insane.

Don't underestimate what they can and cannot do!
People said that about BvS and it is clear the bad reviews had a real effect there, it had bad box-office legs.

GODDAMN IT!!!
You would post this right after I suggested giving WB the benefit of the doubt, lol.
Well, see my post above.
If that post above yours is to be believed, WB loves to keep butting in and fuck things up.
Fuck WB, you think they would've learned after BvS not to mess with the director's cut.

I have a feeling that article has some point to it, provided the film REALLY is fucked.

Shaking my goddamn head.
Depends on the timeline. The improved perception of the BvS UC may have been after they did their meddling.
FFS WB
Just read it! What the fuck! If you are going to give the filmmakers their own vision to make their own movie. Let them make it!
What a disaster!
I'm not talking about legs. Im talking about going in and possibly enjoying a movie. So far what I'm truly hearing is a story with a weak plot and some bad pacing on spots. Not an incoherent story. And you plenty of people saying they enjoy it.
Right now to me it sounds like this is your typical average action movie with a few stars.
At this point Wan has got to be thinking long and hard. He's a type that needs control and why he ditched Fast and Furious 8 (or whatever number their on) and did Conjuring 2 instead.
Yeah, we can only guess at what the UC would've done if it was released initially as intended.

If this is a trend moving forward with WB then I could see Wan exiting. I don't know about Famuyiwa though.

WB still has the final cut rights, just like pretty much any studio. What they're doing isn't exactly unusual.
#deargodpleasebelieve
No, not unusual. But it doesn't mean they should. That's 2 of their DC movies in a row they messed around with and both ended up with lower reception than Man of Steel.

I'm still excited to see it and form my own opinion, I like to think I'm pretty soft on movies but the bad editing stuff has me worried. Lack of good story flow really bugs me. Fixing this in the BvS blu ray mostly fixed the movie for me, hopefully SS can have a similar fix if it is really that bad. Damn studio meddling.

Better not interfere in the Flash and Batman movie you fucks.
Exactly, feel after BvS UC was out it was already too late, they made the decision to toss both versions of SS into a blender for the theatrical reelase. Damn, wasn't the film fully completed like a week before the UC came out on digital anyway?

They got over a year, you'd say they should be able to create something that will at least be received positively. Then again, we had the same thought with Suicide Squad so yeah....Geoff Johns is key here. Let's see what he is able to do.

Well, we don't really know if that is what actually happened with SS. It COULD be possible. Doesn't mean it is.
WB is really panicking, and as a result, are shooting themselves in the foot. They really want these movies to hit, and I get that. But this is two instances now where their meddling hurt the final product instead of enhancing it.
Justice League might be doomed because Synder fucked BvS, but hopefully they leave Wonder Woman alone. Even if that one isn't great, at least then it could be not-great entirely on Jenkins' own merits.
