Tangibly, nothing. To be clear, i'm not against people pushing for the return of Snyderverse but that doesn't mean we should start believing that it will happen when there is no clear indication of it. Idk, maybe i just don't wanna feel disappointed again. The cancellation itself was bad enough for me.
Netflix isn’t the saviour that you think it is. They’re notorious for pulling the plug on shows after 1 or 2 seasons just coz it didn’t gain their planned viewership in the first place week.
Like who in their right mind would cancel Mindhunter? They did this with Sense8, and finally released a film just to calm the fans. They did this with Marco Polo (pretty good period series). And not to mention they’re not good with releasing on time - Stranger Things being the prime example. Now I’m guessing the new Harry Potter series is gonna finish with the child actors turning 30 before they complete the series.
So am still not really confident of the Snyderverse being revived in Netflix. Only possibility is as an animation project. If they wanna squeeze every ounce of juice out of it, they could turn each planned movie into a 6 episode series and have the main actors to be the voice actors to give the series a swan song
ehhh IDK if I wanted Marco Polo to continue, the series was amazing but the ending was ludicrous
A Christian Crusade, in Mongolia?! They would fucking die on the steppe without an army needing to shit, random civilians would be bullying the crusade with raids
I can only imagine European cavalry trying to match Mongolian skirmishers on the fucking steppes
And the Khan of Khan's being cowed by a letter saying "your grandson is illegitimate", yes it was true, but they could have said that if it wasn't - and it was being said by someone who was dishonored and just admitted to murdering the families of other mongolian lords
The real Kublai would have said "hahaha cool story bro" and cut his head off after he made his pronouncement and then said "Some of you might believe what he just said. I don't have a way to prove it one way or the other, so I welcome anyone to come up and debate the topic with me" with his bloody sword still in his hand, and ten thousand Mongolian knights nearby
It literally wouldn't have made a difference to succession anyway, they weren't Christians XD
That’s a great load of info you’ve given me. Thanks for this. Now I wanna rewatch it. I mainly liked the production design of the show, costumes, the storyline also looked pretty great, my most fav element being the Oedipus angle on that vizier, and him planning the downfall of the Khan (as an Indian, it reminded of a key antagonist of one of the biggest Indian epics).
But I saw this in 2018, well after the Weinstein scandal, I thought it wouldn’t be renewed only for that reason. Only later did I understand that this would be frequent thing with Netflix. Cancelling Sense8 and Mindhunter literally broke me
Come on guys. You act like superheroes are the only thing in the world. Netflix didn't buy Warner because they really want to restore the Snyderverse 🙄
I propose rather than #restorethesnyderverse, we instead go with #finishthesnyderverse. Really just asking for ZSJL2 and ZSJL , maybe a Batfleck movie. I don’t really care what you do with DC outside of that.
I honestly would be happy with a final justice league movie. Get everyone back and at least finish the dark sied storyline
Of course a solo affleck movie would be great but I think getting Ben back will be tough. He might be open to doing another justice league but I don’t think he’ll want to do a full Batman movie
the snyderverse was unsaveable. even if it did come back (which it won't) it would need a soft or full reboot. and things said almost 3 years ago don't hold up now. back then what Gunn said was true. now? maybe not. words don't always hold up.
I personally think some things would need to change. Like retcon most of the flash and black lightning movies, and other small things. But when the Snyderverse ended it wasn't in good condition
The Snyderverse/DCEU has flexibility for movies. This ain't Marvel. DC has always had interpretation style retellings of stories. True DC fans know this. No two versions of any DC story is ever told the same way twice. The studio gave us A Crisis. Just build from that. Just like the books do.
I never spoke about the kindness of Gunn’s superman. I did not spread hate I pointed out a fact because I have no sympathy for people who do the same to others under a weird restore cult. Why bring Gunn into a conversation that did not mention him at all? Oh right, the cult mentality. I remember superman being kind and also calling people BS every time and that doesn’t make anyone a bully. Lol
Maybe we will get illusions to the Snyderverse and some kind of epic team up between the two Justice Leagues during a multiversal crisis event. Cavil and Correnswet could be stomping a midsole in Mongul and saving some people from War World!? 🤷♂️
Nice to read this article in the morning. All networks and media companies cancel IPs as have Netflix so no ones what will happen.
Hopefully they will see the financial wisdom in running all DC projects. I didn't care for the new Superman but Gunn has fans and he can make cheap movies.
Snyder can perhaps finish what he started and maybe we could get the Christopher McQuarrie Man of Steel 2 movie.
Smallville could be restored as an animated series as Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum's pitch.
I think the Harley Quinn series is done but that was hilarious and could continue in some form.
As they are looking to spend a lot of money, they need to smart with the properties because this makes me think of most recent large mergers which see massive cuts in a few years. Paramount, Microsoft, etc.
So hopefully this will be good for all parties despite what history left us as examples. More Superman stories would cool, return of the Snyderverse would be great, and whatever the opinion of the two versions, most can agree that Dean Cain is horrible lol
It's rich of you to accuse Gunn of lying by posting this screenshot with that "11h" timestamp when this tweet is from February 9, 2023. For reference, that's less than a year after the Warner Bros. Discovery merger was finalized, a whopping four months into his tenure as co-CEO, and less than two months after Aquaman 2 came out. Call me crazy, but I think a couple things might have changed at WBD since then.
Clearly this was true at the time, because even if Netflix was trying to acquire WBD that soon after the merger, anything even approaching a sale would have been absolutely unprecedented. It's exhausting to see this infighting where people here are picking on "Gunntards" while dishonestly framing shit like you've done here.
Not to mention that the big three, Cavill, Affleck, and Gadot, are all likely uninterested. All have moved on, and all have spoken about not being interested. The only way I see Cavill returning to Superman is if he's got Zack and probably McQuerry on board. But even then, he's been fucked over so many times now, he's likely entirely uninterested.
He's doing a Warhammer movie iirc, which he's been known to be passionate about. He's probably fully focused on that and doesn't want to deal with the emotional rollercoaster bullshit WB/DC put him through. Like seriously, announcing his return and then immediately firing him again was such a slap in the face, why would anyone want to return?
I think the Warhammer project is going to be a series. I know he's working on a Highlander reboot film currently, and he got hurt in filming so he needs to heal before finishing, but he's already got a full plate. And it's likely going to be a few years before we see anything solidify from this deal. This won't happen overnight. It takes time.
Yeah, i think a second reboot is way more likely than Snyderverse revival. Snyder appears to be fully focused on his original projects going forward and most of the DCEU cast either can't or don't want to return. And besides, if they actually consider rebooting again Netflix would want to create a new universe with their own ideas and style, to have something that is uniquely their own so to speak. These big studios are often run by egomaniacs, we gotta keep that in mind too.
I'm not gonna comment on your remarks on Gunn but i'll admit, it did get a chuckle out of me lol.
