The Death of the DCEU - A Rant

2012's Total Recall a deboot?
I'm sorry, but 1990's flick was an unbearable fucking cringefest. Schwarzenegger alone made that film watchable but take him out, ignore the fact that it's based on a story from one of the biggest names in speculative fiction, and the movie is garbage.
I won't pretend the reboot stands alongside the likes of Blade Runner and A Space Odyssey. The story and characters were basic, but at least there was adequate worldbuilding, decent visual effects, and entertaining fucking action! That movie has some really creative set pieces and sequences to go with them. Certainly a cut above the RoboCop and Blade Runner reboots.

In Henry Cavill's defense, he's HOT. That's it. I'm shallow like that lol

It's doing MUCH better now but not revived as such

Yea i actually thought bvs would give marvel a hard time smh.

When we have to share the audience with morons that want everything to taste like fucking cotton candy ice cream, is no surprise when the producers of pistachio ice cream have to close down their business, even if their flavour is superior. Long live Snyder's unappreciated vision!

This shit, coming from a guy who's favorite movie needed 19 cuts to be watchable...

What is the "Cancelled" clip at the beginning from?

I believe they should of done the dceu like this:

man of steel - superman - 2013
the amazonian warrior - wonderwoman - 2014
the last son of krypton - superman 2 - 2015
the dc trinity - superman, wonderwoman and batman debut - 2016

(then when the top characters are established that's when you put out 2/3 movies per year)

throne of atlantis - aquaman & shazam- 2017
the lantern corps - green lantern & the titans - 2018
the caped crusader - batman & doomsday - superman3 - 2019

( you can have your sequels or other solo films whether villain or hero within 2020 to 2022)

justice league pt 1 : injustice - 2022
justice league pt 2 - 2023

( makes justice league be a 2 parter and have it come out in 2023 because you've set up a universe and the big pay off will be within a decade.

Saw Batman v Superman on TV one night and I have to agree, it took too long to do anything, the final fight was only ok and it refused to fucking end.

Right 💩+💩=💩 it's true it's true

PREACH ON
Green lantern is still the best DC film...Still. Snyder is a fuck up👍

What's your beef with Kojima, my boy?

I'm glad I'M considered as the universe.

Love this guy FUCKING STYLE !

and now were getting a handful of Joker backstory movies all told from different points of view... just what we need, the most evil character in comic history being humanized and sympathized, hes so much better when hes just evil, and the challenge is Batman convincing himself not to kill him this time after joker blew up another orphanage full of kids. DC needs to stick to animation to tell their stories, its the only thing their kind of good at.

I did like DCEU, especially Man of Steel and Wonder Woman up until the abysmal Batman v Superman and JLA, then it all just tanked. DCEU was throwing in shit tons of plot and characters that could've easily had the Marvel treatment and been carefully crafted over several movies in so many number of years. Honestly, Marvel's world building at this point is fucking bang on and aside from a few hiccups (personally I disliked Norton Hulk and Thor Dark World), the Marvel gravy train just keeps on chugging.
I would've settled for a decade long story arc, no competing with Marvel as such and have all solo outings before the big JLA crossover. They're better off scrapping everything and starting again which appears to be the case with this Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie which, admittedly, looks pretty awesome.

I don’t read comics but what’s going on with ComicsGate is pretty fucking crazy. I keep up with it through Diversity and Comics.
Also, Marvel makes pretty good movies, but the humor they inject at every turn is so sooo bad and takes me out of the movie momentarily. My GF can’t stand the movies bc of the corny jokes.

Shit squared + Shit squared = diarrhea

Don't you f*cking dare coming for Henry's acting! No one can act well those woefully terrible scripts. He's been really good in everything else he's been in.

in snyder's defense, his daughter committed suicide in the middle of production and the producers chickened out.

dude I can watch your videos forever you are hilarious

My idea for a Justice League movie--go LOTR route and make it a trilogy. Plenty of time to introduce characters, plenty of time to unfold a good plot and add all the easter eggs you want for the next gajillion movies you have planned.

The Kojima school of pacing :D :D :D

Henry Cavill: The Man, The MOUTH, the legend

Latinum is the future

The "red"s in hollywood is toxifying good storytelling

I loved Dawn of The Dead, 300, and Watchmen, but his original works are a train wreck. His horrid DCU can't end too soon.

Dude, your videos are the closest I will ever again come to going to church. Godspeed.

Now if only if you can survive The Legendary Monsterverse and The Conjuring-verse....

Wooooooo Manowar! \m/

Dc is not in the level of mcu mcu has WAY MORE fans then dc but still superman left and there was so many fanboys and girls crying imagine ironman and cap got replaced

Mcu:we have new cap and ironman
fans:TRIGGERED

I saw Cannibal Corpse in Berkeley at a sold out show. Although I have no idea what a Manowar is...

Dude.....are you Spoony? Lmao

Fucking! Spot on 100%

Warner fucked up by giving these titles to untalented creatures.

Who would you have direct superman/justice league movies?

4:03 What a terrible read - you can just see her over ennunciating as per directors instructions and willing herself to get through this shit and star in something better.

JLA was STILL better than anything from the Marvel Suck off Festival.

You remind me of jay jona Jameson

Justice League was really hard to watch. But I thought "Man of Steel" was amazing. The tempo and story progression was awesome.

Was the Dceu even alive in the first place?

WB have totally shit the bed with the DCEU. Batman too old with no backstory by the time the JL, comes to prominence, Superman killing Zod, Death of Superman and Doomsday too early. To reboot would undo WW and (potentially) Aquaman's positivity. Same company fucked up Suicide Squad too. Whole thing is screwed before it's started properly. Thing is, Man of Steel was actually OK as a film and a launch point.

That is still my favorite superman moment of the past decade. The airplane scene of superman returns.

Two half a nothings equals a whole nothing... Foghorn Leghorn

Berkeley NEEDS a Manowar concert or some test-driver

You should’ve said
Shit x shit = Shit squared

Another “shouty” youtuber. Yay!

Nice gloves

I’ve only seen the dark knight trilogy and suicide squad and loved all those films, I’ll take your advice that the rest are horse apple, unless you implying the aforementioned are failures in which I’ll agree to disagree.

👏👏👏

Green Lantern was part of the DCEU?

Sh!it + sh!t is shit squared...

I actually disagree with you. I enjoy Man Of Steel, BVS, & Wonder Woman. Justice League was entertaining, but Suicide Squad sucks ass. We will just have to agree to disagree here, Razor. ;)

Green Lantern was an okay film... It's biggest issue was it came out around the same time as Captain America, which was MILES better.

If there is one thing Justice Leage got right, it was the ending, or at least the post-credit ending. They hinted at the Injustice League, or the Legion of Doom or whatever they're going to call themselves. This means that since the folks at Warner suck at universe building, all they have to do is introduce a new villain in the solo films and then give some sort of hint at the end of each movie that the villain might form an alliance with Lex Luthor and you already have a premise for a Justice League 2. This is good because it means the solo films don't have to focus too much on universe building while still maintaining a clear continuity that allows all these heroes and villains to eventually meet one another. In fact, if they were to make a Justice League movie down the road and just call it "Justice League vs the Legion of Doom", that alone will get people in the theaters.

R.I.P. DCEU
There was some potential for you to rival The MCU but Warner Brothers killed all that potential because of their incompetence.
#EndTheDCEU

“Batman v Superman makes The English Patient look like an action movie” lol

"The English Patient" NNOooooooooo!

Sorry Razorfist im gonna have to disagree. I like Henry Cavil and his acting I liked Man of Steel very much (flaws and all). But yes I am glad this DC universe is ending.

the dark universe is a stillborn universe

Literally reboot the whole universe I feel bad for wonder woman

Nah, I liked Batman V Superman more than any of that bland Marvel tripe they've been shoveling out since after the first Xmen movie. Was Batman V Superman perfect? No way, but far more interesting than any of that Marvel stuff everyone have been raving about for 15+ years by now.
Ultimately though, it's all shit for kids.

*Old school Superman: doing awesome shit while saving shit! Bring it back!*

Watching from India. Great video. Keep up the great work.

Gold Pressed Latinium 😀

The sad fact is, the DCAU did lot of the concepts that the DCEU tried to do with style. Batman vs. Superman? The World's Finest movie. Justice League? They have two TV shows based on it. Point being, DC animated films and TV shows did things better than their live-action counterparts. Hell, you want a Justice League movie? Try Crisis on Two Earths. Two teams of super-beings battling over the fate of two universes. And the Lex Luthor in that movie actually looks, acts, and sounds like a real grown man. THAT is how you make quality DC content: good character buildup, interesting stories, and more depth than anything the fun but shallow Marvel movies can give.

Cavill's going to go work on a Witcher series as Geralt of Rivia. He doesn't need DC anymore. He's big enough of a star.

It’s amazing how people are easily conned, BvS made double its investment thanks to China, same with JL, so much for ‘Flop’, what happened was that Fandango bought out ‘aint it cool’ and ‘Rotten Tomato’s, used it as a Skin for its > Social Media < platform, ‘Rotten Tomato’s demanded exclusives and that WB (whom ironically own stock in Fandango) whom refused to buy effectively ‘Likes’, akin to a Facebook Post, suffered Fandango’s Wrath, before BvS or JL had respectively had scripts typed, contracts inked through and through, and any preproduction started, Fandango ran a hate campaign for solid two years, they trashed what hadn’t even been made.
Which is an interesting precedent, before you’ve even started making a movie, if you haven’t bought off the social media cartels, you’re movies gonna get fucked over before it’s even done and out at the multiplexes

Not sure if anyone else has brought this up (had a quick scroll down but couldn't see it) but you're trending at the moment, at least here in the UK.

Zack Snyder is a terrible director just shy of Michael Bay. And I feel Henry Cavill could have been good in the role had he been provided a competantly written script, a even moderately good director, a studio that gave a shit! And the motivation to actually put effort into the role, he may have been able to be a memorable superman.
