TC Carson Reveals He Was Fired From 'Living Single': "We Were Getting Le...
James Gunn's DCU Is Falling Apart (critical drinker)
Another drinker doom post lol, he not entirely wrong but with a caveat:
It’s not just about numbers, it’s not always about box office.
I understand that’s the criteria Studios operate by, but there’s too much emphasis on it on our level as non studio-execs.
Even if it made a billion+, that’s not a degree of quality just means people bought product. Endgame & the Manga industry is proof that getting numbers doesn’t mean the product people consume is platinum or the absolute upper echelon, it means the marketing did it’s job to convince people to buy product.
Many people can enjoy a quality product but just because a lot of people bought product in droves, is not always indicative of quality.
Numbers alone don’t mean it’s good or bad. that’s where I detract from Drinkers very common talking point: “box office”
S25 was bloated with classic Gunnisms; Corenswet did his best (he was the best thing about the film, thankfully. Though there are some characterization issues here & there (not MOS levels of bad characterization btw) but that’s the writer’s fault, not David.C, hence why D.C himself actually pushed back against Gunn on some writing decisions, so even the actor of the title character smelt some of the same contrivances i did
https://youtu.be/0IwY7Mfzw_w
The music was amazing, impressive shots (like X-El combos in that underground tunnel), wonky characterizations overall, miscasts/many miscasts (Mr.T was alright), undercooked plot beats, & thus Gunnisms galore getting in the way of the execution, which is why majority of his productions are gimmicky and predictable.
Joe Kelly should’ve written, and Matthew Vaughn should’ve been the director or Co-director with Gunn.
Gunn needed to offer notes or have a partnership here if he absolutely needed to be a director, or ideally, stay out of the way.
Corenswet disagreeing with Gunn on-set over some scene details with that final Superman monologue (both Gunn & Corenswet in context had a point, but Corenswet was right because his angle had less contrivances long term) is just icing on the cake as to why the movie (partly why) was without a doubt better than Snyder’s Man of Sulking as a Superman movie (been said MOS is a great Sci-fi movie but a horrible Superman movie), but S25 still below average as a movie because of Gunn’s Gunnisms.
And as a Superman film: it pales in comparison to something like Superman vs The Elite which was LEAGUES shorter in runtime, gets more done, had an excellent Superman, better characterization with less characters, better writing, better action, better theme/moral and said themes were given FOCUS & thus got to cook.
If Superman vs The Elite had Gunnisms:
- introduced to the Elite
- set-up the dilemma of Superman’s morality in the modern day being challenged by The Elite, which puts in question, is Superman relevant to the modern era, where morality allegedly requires a gray approach?
- Lex has a pet Kryptonian (lets say it’s Kara in this take) who’s in her 40′s, she landed on Earth first, stronger than Superman (not his cousin but his clone) & was imprisoned this entire time on Earth. Her brain is beyond repair because Lexcorp turned her into a zombie & she has a peanut allergy, which Lex mocks her for for comedic effect. “That’s not funny“ you say? Exactly! It’s random, & that makes it funny, #WelcomeToGunnisms
- Parasite is a bleeding heart victim who’s just misunderstood & has to consume peoples life forces to survive but his hunger is turning him into a planetary level threat, he is set loose by Luthor to end Superman and everyone killed by Rudy will be blamed on Superman for not stopping. P.R assassination by Luthor.
- Btw the Justice League is here too for some reason
- And then out of nowhere it’s revealed Superman was actually carrying an alien pathogen, spreading it throughout his life to wipe the people of earth as an unknowing carrier, which was his real purpose for being sent to earth
- Mxy is in the goddamn movie causing trouble, doing weird dumb shit (the Krypto of the film) 1000% unnecessary addition
See how bloated that is?
All of those random ass plot beats stuffed into a single runtime, most of those are worth their own movies: Superman 2025 in a nutshell.
If Gunn wrote Superman vs The Elite, that’s what we have gotten. And it sounds like it should be the best Superman movie in history (which is what people said when Superman 25 trailers dropped & we saw the kaiju) but we got a well shot mess, which I saw coming when I saw the Justice Crew aka Temu Guardians of the Galaxy.
Gunn needed focus, because he kept putting more on his plate before we got to cook the previous introduction:
Kohei Horikoshi’s mistake
Introduce plot beats & then dropped for more story set-ups, then resolve the previous introduction in the set-up after instead of focusing on the previous to let it simmer and get us invested, spread thin: this ADHD style of writing that plagues even that garbage My Adventures with Lois-Chan show, problems I saw since Season 1 Episode 1 & 2.
It’s actually thanks to me watching that dumpster fire that I recognized what S25 was on, it’s only ironic that the suits are so similar.
Superman vs The Elite movie got to cook cause there was less going on in it and the writer was/is competent: And that writer of both that movie and Action Comics #775 was the same guy-
Joe Kelly
TL;DR It’s way more than just box office numbers, because when you stress revenue so much, people then get this misconception (one that the anime community struggles with) that “box office” or “sales” = “It’s good"
Wrong.
"Kamen Rider Amazons: The Last Judgement" reddit /re 2024 *SPOILERS*
*note: i watched this movie more than 4 times, maybe 5
"I like the darker and gorier take on Kamen Rider in the first season of Amazons. And upon rewatching the second season I have a greater appreciation for it, despite being even more darker and gorier plus adding some teen angst between a five year old and a dead girl.
But what in the name of Dan Kuroto was Toei thinking with The Last Judgement? Aside from "we have to make it even more darker and messed up!"?
I understand now why The Last Judgement isn't on Amazon Prime here in the states."
S2 bugs me because of Chihiro's unfounded obsession with Iyu (the recycled crow sfx with Iyu driving me nuts), but everything else surrounding that, including Iyu's story linking to Haruka's and how Jin's actions led to her death. That was wild. Jin being a blind warrior, & how his fightstyle switched up to accommodate his blindness, eerie efficient warrior this man is.
The movie? It was Directed too much like a Tv exclusive, not cinematic enough. A "filler" episode as Beaverjuk stated.
*Otherwise a decent second ending to the story, Season 2 being the first ending.*
Narratively, enough was wrapped up for it to be a definitive ending, it just didn't feel like one at first. I watched the film last night (as of 2024), watched it multiple times actually, it's a solid ending.
But in reality it reads like a Kamen Rider Black episode, precisely beat for beat, an Amazon farm cult overtone and everything, pure KRB writing.
Which is not an L. KRB had it's ham, but that shit was good tv.
If they remade Kamen Rider Black faithfully but with Amazons or Black Sun's budget & gore tone, ***my god.***
As Kurosaki stated: it wouldn't end unless the Omega & Alpha were disposed of.
Jin was spiritually exhausted & clearly wanted Haruka to end him "Only one of us can survive...will it be me?", and stating that if he lives, more Amazons will be born.
Suggesting that Haruka do what needs to be done. Haruka got the message, doesn't mean jin gave the w to the kid. Nah.
(notice how Haruka somewhat gently places Chihiro on the ground vs Jin downright merging Haruka with the molecules of the floor lmfao)
Jin at this point was just a zombie, before attacking those kids you can see the pain in his eyes over what he feels he has to do, even while talking to the Nanaha illusion he was cracking, stating those kids were like his own children.
Haruka was the only person he could leave the world to, the only one he'd allow to kill him if Haruka survived him, and he did.
And it's a testament to his power that he tanked all that damage from Neo Alpha AFTER being chained up for 2 years & living off only blood and then immediately fights Haruka.
# Alpha. One of the grittiest Riders ever- to this day.
The herbivore children are now with Mizuki; Who no longer has a place with 4C.
Reika is in charge, meaning by proxy Mizuki's situation is in good hands. The Chairman is still technically in charge but he's no real active threat to the Mizusawa's, he's insane but he has a method of how he see's the world. Survival of the fittest, plain and simple. Reika will succeed him eventually anyway. Tachibana's dethroned. Mido's dead.
Haruka is now going the Kamen Rider Black route and just roaming about on his bike, helping those who need it.
Though technically this Amazon thing isn't over because he's still alive, which begs the question "How the hell did Mido imprison Jin to begin with?" Which is a gaping hole in the plot that bugs me.
The Extermination group didn't really have any arcs, they just took up some screentime but it was good to see them back up Haruka one last time and they go about their way, possibly to team up with him on other occasions.
For they were a significant part of his life growing up (let's not forget he's only 9 years old and the span of the story is 7 years, so we got to see a good 80-90% of Haruka's entire life)
Jin can finally rest, with his remaining Amazon kids not being psychopathic monsters which he himself acknowledged, and with him gone, no more original bred Amazons can be created (that is if his corpse isn't farmed for samples by black markets, which is unlikely because that village is out in the middle of nowhere & the only person who would know he's out there & have the power to farm his body is Tachibana but he's not in charge anywhere).
Though because Jin's genes were unique- it's not confirmed if one could make more Amazons from Haruka the same way.
But since he's eaten of another person, and beaten the Alpha- he's not the same Haruka anymore, dude is only going to get stronger. The one limit he had, is gone. The one person who could match him is dead. Though I wish their final 1v1 was extended with some more finishers in there. But what we got fit the narrative that they were both wounded animals fighting for keeps.
Haruka's the third new type of Amazon & the last of the strongest, the last rider. Omega meaning "End", riding off on a lone road, the spirit of the Masked Rider. Even Shin Kamen Rider tapped into that in it's ending.
About as definitive an ending as it can get.

*Gunn & Corenswet's clashing ideas for the emotional climax monologue scene * ( Peacemaker & Marvel Zombies is TRASH @youtube)
I appreciate this exchange (between Gunn & Corenswet), to be honest. It adds some context per on-set dynamics. It's necessary on set (sometimes) for actors to have that kind of backbone & chime in and be receptive. Glad he smelt the same stench of contrivance that I do.
For Davids idea,

And if you're reluctantly fluent in Macronese, you'll realize Giant-O-MID Sama is not fresh or a new take on giantess, bro's just publishing a vanilla gts doujinshi you could find anywhere else, but for the general public. That's all this is. ⛔

• Another plus, as i've said, this is not the usual GTS-Psycho territory that that cult- *excuse me, "community" is known for and no the manga doesn't waste time getting to the Giant girl stuff- so much so, ๐ถ๐'๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐น๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐น with it, or ๐ต๐ผ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ ๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐น๐ณ ๐ถ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ.

2025:
As expected it got worse, author added more giant chics, cause they ran out of ideas. The situations just perpetually repeat the same creepy punchline- as Chp 143 is some of the worst manga writing i've ever seen in 2025, if not ever.
Worse than I remember, all the praises prior will remain because they're still relevant (because back then the title was new & the author didn't lose their own plot being a macrogoof).
- Fetishists will always re-tread the same tropes they do in their little cult circles because they're addicts to the delusionist cope called "fetish fantasy". If you insist on shoving your crap down the throat of the public, raise the bar and stop doing what you people have been doing for the past 20 years.
You'd think someone so eager to push GTS propaganda on the public square for the hundreth time but this time it actually got some traction, YOU'D think they'd reel it in and try to raise the bar. Hence "macrocreep", pure NPC, drone creeper shit.
