WB doesn't care. BvS and Suicide Squad both made massive profit. Perhaps not as much profit as they would have if they were actually decent movies, but they don't care. Blame the masses who supported the crap.

I disagree. As the top Shakespeare director in the film world, Branagh knows how to make actors act 'big' without it being an over the top campfest. He knew how to handle this world of palace intrigue and big emotions.Thor was a crucial step forward for the MCU, being able to successfully bring in magic and fantasy to what was (so far) a pure science fiction universe with Iron Man and Hulk, and make them integrate.
I'm not disagreeing that Branagh knows his Shakespeare but none of that experience & knowledge actually shone through in Thor.
The father/son conflict was already part of the storyline, it wasn't something Branagh invented.
The whole "fish out of water", stranded on earth, clash of cultures, comical scientist, goofy love interests was nothing but a campfest.
I fail to see how only Branagh could bring fantasy to a sci fi verse, any competent director could do that.
Originally posted by Esau CairnGoing to have to disagree there. Thor added the entire magic aspect flawlessly. His first movie was great, and I saw it more times in IM1. They did a good job of addressing a whole new aspect of the MCU IMO and that's difficult to do.

I think there's an argument to be made for MoS, but BvS and SS were not good enough to make me want to argue for either of those.
No theres not. MoS was just plain awful. BvS and SS were both terrible, but they were Citizen Kane's compared to that heaping pile of dung that was MoS.

I think that's a bit on top. But whatever.
MOS is the only one so far that has a half decent score on RT btw.

Eh, to be fair I think WW looks solid, if unexceptional. If it's simply good, that alone is a step forward for WB.
Honestly it "looks" great. But I'm convinced Gal Gadot is going to ruin it. Worst casting so far in the DCEU Imo.

Disagree. If anyting, MoS is the closest any of those movies hav come to actually making a reasonable adaptation of a character.

She's subpar, but to say she's the worst cast of the DCCU is a bold statement imo given some of the other choices.Far as WW's character goes, just hope they don't have her screw over Steve Trevor again to go be with Superman. Forced shipping is forced.
Lois exists in this universe, so sadly, won't happen.

I think the reason MOS was fairly decent was because Christopher Nolan was running the show, and he had Zack Snyder on a short leash as simply a director for hire.
BvsS, there are scenes where it looks like he's trying to honour the style used in MOS, but it doesn't last and he goes back to his usual ultra slow-mo and overblown CGI visuals; never mind the movie's crackpot narrative. There are pages of criticism to be written about that, and the characterizations.

I mean at least the others have proven actions my abilities (even if they were a wrong fit), so not that bold Imo.

Not sure why they didn't just get Nolan to Shepard the whole thing (would though necessarily directing any of them).
Better choice than Snyder for that job, that's for sure.
Anyway a potential director for Shazam:

That's more the kind of news I wanna hear from the DCEU.

Don't think so.
But I'd be happy for them to give up the shared Universe thing for now if instead they give us more new to film characters like Shazam solo films. Providing they're good of course.
