I love to see the passion and dedication James Gunn has for comic book characters and their stories. It is nice to know DC is in the capable hands of an actual comic book enthusiast who grew up wanting to make comic books and is making movies because he loves to tell the character stories the best he can and not just make money. We need more directors like him. His vision reminds me of what Kevin Feige and Jon Favreau did before Disney ruined everything.

The problem is not the amount of superhero projects per year, the quality is! in 2017 we had 5 superhero movies and nobody complained we were happy (except for Justice League... ). You have to also understand that in Superhero movies Visual effects are very important and if 80% looks like PS2 game, well we don't wanna see that.

Across the Spider-Verse is phenomenal. Yes, it still had Easter Eggs and multiverse stakes, but the core of it is Miles and his parents and Gwen and her father. Their character developments are so good and the movie felt different enough from the rest of the multiverse things coming out lately. Quantomania, Black Adam, and Multiverse of Madness (I guess that's what James was referencing haha) felt underdeveloped and rushed just to make it.

James Gunn understands that Comic Book properties donāt end at superhero movies.
They span every genre - every sequel is an oppprtunity to stretch the storytelling - into different and fresh genres -
And just like comics - you engage readers & viewers alike by keeping things fresh, taking chances, and not falling back on the formulaic

I defienetly agree. There shouldn't be a term superhero movie genre, it should branch out like James Gunn mentioned. A slayer horror movie with superheroes in it, a drama movie with superheroes in it, an action thriller with superheroes in it. I think the reason why The Batman, Joker, GOTG 3 and ATSV are special movies is because they feel different. Everyone rooted for Batman, Joker, Star Lord or Spiderman is because we feel and root for these characters to succsessfully come on top of the obstacles.

I think superhero/comic book movies need to try different genres to stay alive. Which to give them credit they are doing they just need to do more of it. Like with Swamp thing over at Dc, that movie is going to be a horror movie. Marvels secret invasion looks more like a thriller than a superhero movie. Stuff like that can keep this franchise alive

Superhero movies suffer from the same issues that Star Wars movies do... there's a massive universe out there to do basically all kinds of movies, but everybody's just making the same shit over and over, because that's what's "a superhero movie" (or "a star wars movie").
Hell, there's potential for horror movies, heist movies, action movies, dramas, comedies and all other kinds of movies in those universes.

0:48 This is exactly what I feel about Ragnorok. Just because that was funny doesnāt mean you have to do more of that in the sequel. My favorite Thor movie is (unpopular opinion) the first one. Thor had to become a more humble person rather than following in his fatherās past footsteps in terms of being reckless and always wanting to fight. The second one was terrible but it did come with one of the greatest quotes from Thor: āIād rather be a good man than a great king.ā Meaning that he wants to live his life they way he wants rather than sticking to royal traditions. Then all that character development just want down the drain with Ragnorok and LnT. Chris even said that his role in the 4th movie felt that his character was kinda goofy than heroic. Marvel is at the point now in which they are no longer climbing the hill any more and just dancing at the top of it. As a Marvel fan I hope DC puts out better movies which will force Marvel to think harder on their stories and get back to climbing. This is the pure example of ācompetition breeds innovationā. The 4th phase has done nothing in my opinion other than Marvel dangling member berries to their fans. Marvel had RDJ in his 40s when he was cast as Iron Man after his drug abuse and they did more with him than Henry Cavill in his 30s as Superman. They literally had the potential to do great with him but they just let him wait in the sidelines.

I want to see a horror/suspense/superhero movie from the point of view of the bad guys getting picked off one by one. Air vents, floor grates, rafters, no where is safe as our protagonists dwindle. The story is told through a series of flashbacks, and you realize these are the bad guys we're following. Our "heroes battle the "creature" in the dark and battle each other as paranoia infects the group and they blame each other for the disappearances. Then we see it only in the last shot as he gets his last victim. A flutter of Batman's cape and sillouhette of his cowl. Or maybe a black oozing mass, as Venom reconstitutes himself and NOM!
Point is, i think a weird, new, and more subtle approach could be fun.

Phases 2 and 3 of the MCU were so heralded because of the pure variety of genres and tones. Nothing felt fresher than going from a thriller-like Winter Soldier to a goofy space opera like Guardians, but they both kept heart and had plenty of emotional moments directly tied into the characters. And Guardians continued to evolve further by getting more mature in themes as the films went on, instead of something like Love and Thunder that just tried to strike lightning twice with what worked in Ragnarok. I am very optimistic about the future of the DCU with Gunn at the helm because he is coming out and saying āweāre gonna make sure we mix it up and take our time,ā which is exactly where Marvel has been struggling as of late.
