the problem is dc/wb are forcing this universe instead of letting it happen organically like marvel did

they have no one in charge to tell someone NO lets not do that like marvel telling whedon NO to Wasp in avengers or marvel dropping edgar wright for not adhering to their vision

Completely right, If only the X-men had origin movies for each character that franchise would still be going today.....

 

[BatsDC]

X-Men is totally different lol

 

[harlequinade]

**** watching this premiere...they are all such nice, enthusiastic people, they don't deserve this :/

 

[Matt Mortem]

The X-Men have always and will always be an ensemble. It's not comparable.

 

[nyyarod]

Yeah, I really like the cast.

Yeah, it's kind of sad. WB wasted this cast.

Sure it is. Some people just don't understand its a quality issue not a lack of origin movie issue.

 

[obredaan]

What exactly is organically though? One solo at a time?
I have a hard time believing it can't be done any other way.

Well for one Marvel didn't announce 10 movies after making just 1 film. They only started the announcing future films in phase 2. WB made Man of Steel a film which had almost no references to a larger universe and then they announced BvS and 9 movies following that.

 

[The Joker]

**** watching this premiere...they are all such nice, enthusiastic people, they don't deserve this :/

That's one of the biggest shames about the DCEU. The cast of actors in them are all good, solid and enthusiastic actors, and they deserve better than this.

 

[LoganGambit87]

i just hate that they forced the universe to catch up to marvel and i have always hated that idea

they didn't need to catch up to marvel the were already 5 years behind when MOS came out they just need to do them and pay attention to themselves there was no need to rush

 

[tanita_mors]

eh, they got paid handsomely, clearly had a great time filming and made friends, and ultimately good or bad non of them had any creative control over the finished product to be considered at fault or accountable. they will all be just fine.

 

[Tv's Phil]

Nvm

 

[harlequinade]

Yeah, I really like the cast.

they are so nice to the fans, especially Will and Margot

 

[Web-Head]

That's one of the biggest shames about the DCEU. The cast of actors in them are all good, solid and enthusiastic actors, and they deserve better than this.

Yeah..After BvS I sort of wanted a reboot of the DCEU, but I think they've cast the roles pretty well so I'd hate to lose Cavill, Affleck, Ezra, etc. Maybe some sort of soft reboot could be in store?

 

[Consona]

Yeah, it's kind of sad. WB wasted this cast.

Yea, I love the casting in DCEU. I hope this version of DCEU will get up with WW and JL and these people will get another chances in future films.

 

[WitchTrialz]

Where's the hype?

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Margot was my pick for harley before we even knew about a suicide squad movie

a shame that her cinematic debut had to happen like this. At least theres the bat solo.

 

[Lucellit]

Agree. The idea is fine, just struggling in the execution. Need better movies.

 

[Arachnerd]

Where's the hype?

There is none, or at least little of it.

It's somewhat understandable, but I'm still waiting to see the movie to form my own opinion.

 

[Wolfgangamadeus]

Yeah..After BvS I sort of wanted a reboot of the DCEU, but I think they've cast the roles pretty well so I'd hate to lose Cavill, Affleck, Ezra, etc. Maybe some sort of soft reboot could be in store?

Like I said they should do a Flashpoint movie and reboot everything and keep the cast. That way they can all play classic versions of their characters.

 

[Greens]

Yea, I love the casting in DCEU. I hope this version of DCEU will get up with WW and JL and these people will get another chances in future films.

Let's hope Affleck can salvage Croc, Deadshot and Joker for his solo movie.

Marvel's Cinematic Universe did not happen "organically," The first phase in the MCU is just as guilty of forced world building. Thor, The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2 were all awful and only existed to justify the Avengers. Tony Stark at the end of the Incredible Hulk and Fury and Widow in IM2 are just as forced as anything that we have seen in the DCEU. The only reason they get a pass is they did it first and for the most part have learned from those mistakes.

 

[Monochron]

At least Momoa is having fun at the premier:

 

[Greens]

Margot was my pick for harley before we even knew about a suicide squad movie

a shame that her cinematic debut had to happen like this. At least theres the bat solo.

Fortunately, she doesn't seem to be one of the problems. It sucks that the narrative around her character is lacking, but she's definitely made an impression on her own.
