it really feels like they look at marvel and they see what they're doing and mostly just
shoot for that rather than shooting for why and how that stuff actually works we don't
need to try to suddenly go back to we gotta make everything heavily interconnected with each other
when that's what a lot of this ends up reading to me like but then also seems a little contradictory
you're saying you have stuff like todd phillips's joker and you want to do more of that but what
makes that movie good is it doesn't feel like it needs to be connected because it's his own thing
what is up there reject nation greg and john here today we are going to talk about some warner
brothers dc eu changes the company that just can't seem to find a direction to stick through
get there someday despite the fact that they've been doing pretty alright lately you know like
the batman was a pretty good hit the suicide squad while not a big box office it supposedly did all
right on streaming it was really well received by audiences and critics and the peacemaker the
peacemakers show i was getting there just wait for me guys leave a like if you can that would
mean a lot i don't know if you guys know about this recently discovery and warner brothers they
made a deal it's now called wb discovery i believe the deal was made for one trillion dollars they're
just throwing money at this thing 43 billion dollars i didn't really follow the lead up to
this merger because the only thing i ever heard about it was does this mean the snyder burst will
be restored is it finally about to happen the starter best restored kids they all say that
david zazlov loves that snyder variety put his article yesterday morning from the time that we're
uploading this but i wanna do a total overhaul on dc entertainment honestly going through it had
me uh a bit worried about the future okay so the whole article you can find in the description box
but we want to focus on a few key points here so we want to go within really fast and we're going
to talk about it afterwards so the first thing is they want to have like a kevin feige like leader
i don't know if you guys know this but warner brothers has tried to have a kevin feige likely
for quite some time doesn't sound bad in theory obviously and like i said none of this actually
sounds necessarily like a terrible idea it's just going off of track record past experiences
considering the fact that it seems like anyone who tries to be the mcu they generally fail at
doing it here's what the article says before the merger closed zoslov head of discovery now ahead
of both vetted candidates with experience in creating and nurturing blockbuster intellectual
property with the goal of potentially finding someone to serve as a creative and strategic
gaza similar to what marvel has in kevin feige one insider suggests that zasalov was less interested
in finding a creative guru and more eager to hire someone who had the type of business background
needed to keep all the different factions of dc working more harmoniously that actually makes a
little bit of sense if they want to find a kevin feige like leader but the thing that makes kevin
feige so special not just the fact that he's a businessman but also because he really loves
marvel comics he really knows marvel and that's why he has such a good connection with the fans
as well even when they make changes in the movies generally speaking you can tell this guy actually
knows what marvel's really all about and now that i have all these different other things going in
dc i get that you would need someone who could also be like i need to know how to harmoniously
bring this all together you need somebody who's invested in the breadth of characters and the
mythology but who also has a good business sense i feel like they really need to split the difference
kevin feige likes story person who knows the world but who also can keep things running
chop chop so they want to get dc eu back to the point where everything feels more
connected basically you know part of me is like part of making dc special to me is the fact of
how it doesn't feel any more like it's so reliant on that which has allowed for other films that
were really filmmaker driven to really blossom but we'll dive more into that in a second the article
goes on to say discovery insiders believe that although dc has achieved cinematic success with
recent films such as aquaman and the batman and lexa coherent creative and brand strategy yeah
i kind of agree with that they seem to shift their plans all the time here depending on how each one
does at the box office they're very reactionary yeah all the more reason to get somebody who
has a good business sense about these things and discovery believes that several top shelf
characters such as superman have been left to languish and need to be revitalized i thought
they were revitalizing superman in terms of whatever that jj abrams michael b jordan one see
it's not dead i mean i've heard reports lately that they're still trying to figure out the script
and maybe having some problems with that i feel like that could easily change in a heartbeat if
they really find a track that they like and they want more stuff like joker they also believe that
projects like top phillips joker are a shining example of how to build second characters from
dc library and should be exploited margot robbie's harley quinn is another example i'd be down for
another birds of prey absolutely despite the fact that it causes a weird conversation on twitter i'd
be down for another birds of prey i quite enjoyed that movie a lot and i think harley quinn was also
awesome in the suicide squad absolutely so yeah i'd be totally down for that weirdly going online
that was the one that seemed to upset people a lot was more more of a joke about like oh come on guys
have you not heard my scarecrow stand-alone movie idea it almost seems like they could flourish just
doing standalone movies and not trying to be marvel whatsoever i'm not against the idea of
producers executive producer studios having a say in what's happening with the movies of course i'm
not against like that's fair they're putting the money in it's just you know a movie [ __ ] when
you feel like this whole movie is just studio notes a lot of this reads to me like i think
we'd be going back to everything feeling like shoehorn studio notes i'm not saying that'll
be the case it just kind of communicates that way to me right now whenever a studio even dc in the
past when they try to emulate more of the marvel cinematic universe they keep writing themselves
into this weird corner with their films seem like they've become all about setting up to get to some
crossover movie some build up that ultimately doesn't end up paying off because
their plan getting there was not panning out and they've already tried having leaders several times
now seems like what they've been doing lately has been the best strategy so far which is let them be
more filmmaker driven films that's why i think the batman has such a great response like i'm excited
for the gotham shows that matt reeves is working on he's making like his own little bat burst and
what i think is really cool about what dcu has on their hands is they're able to build universes
within universes really well with james gunn doing the suicide squad he's got his like suicide squad
universe happening with the peacemaker series and both i thought were really great stuff i'm already
under the impression though that especially with your flash movie do you really need to
do this you're already setting up the multiverse so one can just assume that they're connected via
the multiverse and that if it's not worried about having crossovers or being totally connected like
we have to force robert pattinson to now cross over into one of these films just establish that
yeah it exists it's connected because it's it's within the dc multiverse itself what does this
mean for current films that they have in plan too because i know that's also been put on halt
but i want the shazam trilogy to finish out i want the aquaman trilogy to finish out let's see what
happens that ever heard i want to see everybody wants to see what happens with aquaman three now
see what goes on there the absolute one and i want them to do it yeah i mean it almost seems
like they have a perfect opportunity to just sort of let everything be where it is and yeah move
forward with a better plan but i don't necessarily think there needs to be a lot of retroactive
restructuring i mean yes you have a bit of a disparate universe but from here on especially
with the multiverse i feel like it's not really that famous last words difficult to kind of see
the lay of your land and then streamline it moving forward and take the best of what's worked so far
and perpetuate that i mean that's essentially what marvel's been doing just with a massive continuity
and maybe they'll find they don't need that massive continuity so much as they need just a
universe that feels like it houses all these characters or something i'm sure with marvel
there's constantly conversations i'm sure behind the scenes of we need to re-strategize this we
need to fix this we've seen them shift like slots in their films before and films have been canceled
here or there so of course they also will have the discussion of re-strategizing it's a constant part
of game planning or mapping something out this massive it's just when you tell me stuff
like they want a kevin feige like leader like you you've already you're not
david we've always wanted that and i feel like a lot of time they don't really understand
what's made kevin feige so great at what he's done with marvel what they're doing right now
seems to be doing just fine because of the fact that they have the multiverse at their disposal
that they've already established with crisis on infinite ursa that are only gonna solidify
more with the flash movie we don't need to try to suddenly go back to we gotta make everything
heavily interconnected with each other when that's what a lot of this ends up reading to me like but
then also seems a little contradictory when you're saying you have stuff like todd phillips's joker
and you want to do more of that but what makes that movie good is it doesn't feel like it needs
to be connected because it's his own thing so much of the time hearing about wb and and now discovery
and all the things they want to do with dc it really feels like they look at marvel and they
see what they're doing and mostly just shoot for that rather than shooting for why and how
that stuff actually works and i feel like there is a sort of expectation that these things will
translate immediately and i feel like you know of course they want a new kevin feige and for a more
you know vertically structured system but at the same time that stuff takes time and a steady hand
to build and i think it's interesting that they still prioritize at least as of this account
the business angle of that because you need the heart and the soul of that and i get that even
marvel is subject to the business side and you know how the market speaks but they also seem like
whenever they reshoot or whenever they restructure they always make sure to temper
the characterizations and the emotional cores and the spirit of those stories and those characters
in time with that rather than fully going for the market so i feel like the biggest question to me
now is what kind of a business man is david zazla yeah at this moment it sounds like the same plan
they've been shooting for for so long but we'll see maybe they will restore the snyder verse i'd
like superman to come back as well just as much as anyone else alrighty well leave your thoughts down
