MARTHABOX - The Pointless Life & Meaningless Death of The DC Extended Universe
🕑 Added 2023-05-12 04:47:24 +0000 UTCPART 1 of 4 - "MEN OF STALL"
With the DC Extended Universe (aka "The DCEU," aka "The SnyderVerse") about to be put out of its misery by the continuum-reboot shennanigans of "THE FLASH;" I begin my look back through (almost!) every review, video essay, etc I published on the subject in chronological order from the release of "MAN OF STEEL" in 2013 to the total collapse of Warner Bros as a studio in the ongoing present. It's The story of Hollywood and the art of mainstream moviemaking at an inflection point: Sprawling, hard to believe but for the fact that we all watched it happen saga - at once comical yet infuriating and deeply sad - of how hubris, greed, mismanagement, misunderstanding, chasing trends while failing to grasp them and the demonic influence of the Sunk Cost Fallacy turned a “sure thing” into a decade-long garbage fire that eventually burned down one of the last great Movie Studios.

I recently finished the final chapter of MARTHABOX. I'm sorry you had to relive this dumpster fire. I look at Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Those were movies made with love. They put art before commerce. They had talented people who believed in these characters. This is what the DCEU should've been. Not a waste of time, money, and effort. As for its "fan base", the best way to fix those people is either solitary confinement or a full-frontal lobotomy. Maybe toss in chemical castration, just in case.

it's important to preserve this story, not just from the objective, long view of it, but the contemporaneous view. i keep getting on feeds weird posts by Synderians saying how he "made Superman relevant". (eye rolling emoticon) malarkey.

And this part was 2.5 hours. Are they all this long?
