Same. I considered myself a superhero movie fan. Saw every MCU movie for years and everything.
I think after Eternals, Synder Cut … I just lost the desire to watch them. I liked Shang Chi, I even may want to see The Marvels because it looks fun, but I haven’t seen GotG3, Multiverse, Quantimania, Thor Love and Thunder … Alongside the DCEU movies as well.
GotG3 is definitely worth seeing. Doctor Strange 2 and Ant-Man 3 were pretty missable.
I think the lesson I've taken from this is that the massive multiversal stakes of the latter two - which I assume Marvel thought necessary to try to top what they'd already done with Thanos - just don't really work. They can't top Thanos eradicating half of the universe, and they shouldn't try.
Whereas GotG3 was pretty low stakes by comparison, but as those stakes related to a specific character we had come to care about then it just worked so much better.
Definitely all bangers! I like that he’s planning on using some lesser known DC properties. Booster Gold, Creature Commandos, and a new Swamp Thing movie. What I don’t like is he said he wants the live action actors to voice any upcoming DC animation, and video games too. IMO I think he’s just doing it to make more money for his actor buds, but at the expense of some of really great voice actors. The Arkham games, and DCAU has always had excellent voice casts.
They failed because of drama behind the scenes. His camp says that it was bad writing, the producers say that Cavill tried to overstep his role. Both things can be true.
He was a big fan of the books and the games. He wanted some creative control because the writers were going off source material. I don’t blame him for leaving. His reputation was on the line as he was the main character.
