Company this big doesnt turn around on a dime. All the movie and content creation decisions coming to market right now were made under a different regime wiht different goals.

Its also a lot less damning than you think it is.

The point isnt that they were supposed to be tentpoles.

Ok but See DC and Ray Fisher

Gunn has said he is introducing the other Robins.   I’m guessing that is Dick and Tim at the least.

That isnt the pitch, that was a mandate from Zaslav long before they were even hired.

You can always talk to your dead loved ones.

D&D stands for Dark n Dirty, amiright? I mean that’s even BETTER than DC (Dark Comics) Grim and Gritty, isnt it?

How was he great in Dune?

The game was originally designed to make you understand how Capitalism sucks . . . Hating IS the point!

This is starting to sound like some strange Bob Chapek/Flashdance Fanfic . . .

I believe he is starring in “Chapek: the Night Stalker”

Yeah but WB has a pair of underperforming IP’s that they might want to offload . . .

I took that as him assuaging people of the fear that the “suits” were going to interfere in the Gunn/Safran projects. 

“Holland began a relationship with writer/director James Gunn in 2015. They met through actor Michael Rosenbaum who was dating a friend of Holland’s at the time and offered to set them up after Gunn saw a photo of her that Rosenbaum had.”

No, putting out BAD movies with huge budgets killed that studio.  if they had made better movies, they would have been fine, but look at the examples you give.  They were TERRIBLE even for the time.

She dedicated the movie to the all the pilots that served in Vietnam.

From what I have seen on the subject, not an expert obviously, SAG voice actors get royalties just like non voice actors. That excludes a good number of VA talent, but probably includes the bigger names. Non SAG talent is paid by session with a buyout fee.

It’s his Iron Legion helmet, so right movie, but not actually part of Ultron.

I think it is a throwback to the early days of She Hulk comics. Her first cover shows her with one hairstyle, but when she hulks out, her hair hulks out too.
