Quality? Come on Gunn is easily the best writer and director of the comic films coming this year.

That's why he is recycling the Snyderverse material and putting Guy Gardner in the movie, right? 😂

Nothing Gunn could do could be any worse than the bone-headed writer decision to have Sentry in your movie. 👆

As a fan of that farmboy, you're already dead inside

Oh I wouldn't bet against him. But from the trailers Thunderbolts looks better Imo.

The Superman movie legitimately needs to be excellent. The FF movie really doesn't, but I hope it is.

Honestly, focusing so much on Guy Gardner could get them cancelled:

Especially after the Neil Gaiman thing. Not to mention Gunn's shitposting history.

Krypto alone won't save the film.

That's true, but I also hope Guy and the other heroes don't get much screentime at all. This movie needs to push the absolute crap out of Superman specifically. The other heroes can get fleshed out later.

Nathan Fillion is Gunn's friend, don't forget.

Also... this happened:

Wow. Even if Guy were in a CW show, he'd still look corny AF. That's painful to look at.

I highly doubt it's more than the way Justice Society featured in Black Adam. Most probably less.

Save it? That put me off from the get go. Add in Guy Gardner and I was like "this is a cartoon"

But tbf it's Gunn. He takes ridiculous characters and ideas and makes them work.

Looks even worse in the actual trailer, by the way.

Yes, but such elements also dominate his movies completely, overshadowing everything else.

It wasn't a big deal with the Guardians or Peacemaker - as they are very obscure characters.

Same trick is not guaranteed to work with the A-listers.
