Completely agree with everything James Gunn says here about “superhero fatigue” - via GQ Magazine

@JamesGunn @GQMagazine "Superhero fatigue" is a term created by a couple of Hollywood trades who despise having to cover comic book movies and desperately want the genre to vanish.

Build your influence on the world's digital town square.

@JamesGunn @GQMagazine remember when he said The Flash was extraordinary? lolololllloolol

@JamesGunn @GQMagazine 'There's mediocre movie fatigue' *proceeds to do a mediocre movie

@JamesGunn @GQMagazine What also hurts superhero fatigue is using the press and access media to push your message and to be actively a PR arm if they knew they couldn’t fall back on that they may be more inclined to make something worthwhile

@JamesGunn @GQMagazine This is why I appreciate directors like James

@JamesGunn @GQMagazine Spot on.

@JamesGunn @GQMagazine This is literally the opposite of what the DCU is doing. DCEU tried doing something different. DCU is just MCU with dc characters. Gunn just rambling again.

@JamesGunn @GQMagazine -Guy that called The Flash "one of the greatest movies ever made"

@JamesGunn @GQMagazine Ironically his film suffers from what he said in this video. Rather than a simple movie, he overstuffed it with too many plots, jumping scene to scene, overdoing jokes even when good emotional beats were done and proceeded to have a generic superhero fight/black hole at the end

@JamesGunn @GQMagazine Thunderbolts is a direct rebuttal tho, good movie with great reviews, tonally different from the usual, and flopped hard
