It's not that simple though. It's much easier to make a film about good guys being (mostly) good guys.
It's very hard to make a bunch of murderers fighting another murderer(s) likeable
No you just have a different opinion. Thor is better than BvS

What are the chances of Justice League being delayed after this? Because there's no reason to have faith in that being a good project as well at this point.

This isn't true in the slightest - Marvel villains have personal connections to the Heroes, being their brother, their mentor, their best friend, etc, they have goals and motivations of their own, they have actual personality and character.
DC so far has had two villains that are lumps of hitpoints with no relationships, no character, no motivation, in fact they're so mindless they're barely sentient - Doomsday and the Adversary, and are about to get another in Steppenwolf.
If the next Spiderman film had Carnage as a villain, who is a similar pile of uninteresting, impersonal, mindless hitpoints as DC's villains, then maybe they'd be equal comparisons.
Thor isn't great, bit it's way better than BvS. BvS is straight up garbage.
I don't think anyone is actually happy its bad

Honestly, I say it'll be better than GB as long as the JOKES FUCKING STOP! Holy shit, watching some of the gags in GB was like watching someone tell a joke and then try to explain it.
We get it, it's a middle finger, you can stop. We get it, he's stupid, you can stop now. We get it, the ghost is on your shoulders, you can stop now.

Exactly. I think people get confused because they say things like "No way can Batman v Superman be worse than [insert movie with similar RT score]" but sometimes a film can just be tiring. Yeah, maybe it's filmed better and has better special effects than lower budget films, but I just felt exhausted after Batman v Superman: Ultimate Cut. 3 hours of your time getting taken out for an unsatisfying experience just makes it sting even more. I especially will dislike a film if it insults my intelligence with a dumb twist or lazy characterization.
Reading a lot of the reviews the consensus seems to be that it isn't as fun or edgy as it thinks it is. Which I could see being a huge problem. If the entire point of this movie is that it shows the fun side of the DC with villains and there isn't fun or real villainy to be found...well, it's going to get hammered.

Man, this really has been a terrible summer for movies. Except for occasional high points like finding dory or the BFG.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
None if this still makes money. Though everything not currently in development will probably undergo some checks.

I think whatever changes were going to be made were underway after BvS, doubt SS changes anything there.
?
Ghostbusters had bad trailers and was a bad movie.
This atleast had great trailers, and now we're left with what seems to be a real stinker.

might as well post these unused evans gifs. I didn't get use em the first time around.
Evans laughing is the greatest GIFt to mankind ever.
They have been describing the movie as a comedy since the comic con trailer leaked.
Maybe you just have bad taste.
Thor 1 yes, 2 is brutal and no one wins there
Like clockwork. LOL

It won't, they already course-corrected for it after BvS. Wonder Women though, do not be surprised if WB just says "Fuck it" and sends it out to die.
Well, we don't have an Espilbergo these days for starters. Even Spielberg doesn't deliver Spielberg-tier quality or success.
It's the age of the IP, the franchise, the trilogy, the cinematic universe, the young adult book adaptation, the reboot, the remake. There ain't no room for no original blockbuster IP. And when your movies cost 100~200 million dollars, you're gonna for the the alleged safe route.

I think he means Ghostbusters had awful marketing and was generally well received. This had great marketing and seems to be rejected

I'm probably getting more enjoyment out of this thread and Twitter meltdowns than I would have from a good Suicide Squad movie.
No I don't have a damaged tattoo. I didn't even particularly like that design at all. Could have been much better. I'm not saying Suicide Squad is a good movie. It could be terrible. I don't know yet as I haven't seen it. I do know I fucking loved BvS, and I do know Thor was one of the worst movies I've ever had to sit through. I was pretty down on DC even attempting a cinematic universe when hey were hyping up on it. Didn't really want it nor did I care for it, but BvS made me want it now. I was engaged in a way Marvel never really did.
I also think there's something weird going on with how people seem to perceive the Marvel movies which by now are insanely boring and predictable to me. They all seem like brightly colored popcorn fests with not much more to them. Writing is passable. Cinematography is ok at best. The big Marvel movie I'm really looking forward to is Doctor Strange because that seems at least a bit different.
Psst, the point is that I thought Ghostbusters was a good movie

This is getting bad reviews? What a surprise.

Footage of a nutless monkey dancing is better than Sucker Punch
It's like DC can't make a movie anymore lol. Marvel is on fire for the most part and DC is just straight terrible! They need to find better directors.
