Then you gotta chose your words better, because "happy it flopped" is rooting for something to fail and derives from the overly popular trend in web schadenfreude, even though no one admits to it and pretends/fakes to be analytical in his/her statements.
The blind love and hate when discussing these kinds of movies is obvious and has kind of ruined discussing comic book adaptations online because we're not even really looking at the content anymore, but playing at some kind of pretend-movie business insider game as an excuse to covertly but freely express schadenfreude.
The Dunning-Kruger effect-y entitlement and fake expertise (as if you could handle even one single day of being an exec or filmmaker) has reached mind-blowing levels.
We should relearn how to judge these movies as audience members and have interesting discussions about these movies and what effect they had on US ad AUDIENCE MEMBERS. Which can be positive or negative, but at least should come from a honest and sincere place and position.
The "they should do this, they should do that, because business POV, IP, IP, IP, it would make more sense" is grating coming from a bunch o' nerds on the Internet (and that goes for so called movie website "journalists" and bloggers, as well).
What most are is basically vulgar "comic book/fantasy/sci-fi movie hooligans." Nothing more, nothing less. And the levels of bullying people for having different opinions during the Snyder era (which I have varying opinions on based on each movie, but that's not really the point) was the epitome of that.
And I still come here because sometimes there is an interesting conversation to be had about the art of film and comics and TV and animation and storytelling. But I think I've kinda outgrown the surrounding ambience of fake nerd expertise on how to handle Hollywood and should probably be around much less.
