          Turns out WB just needed someone to tell them that you're supposed to finish writing the script before you start filming.

            I'm shocked that they had to be told that. From a money standpoint that sounds like a great way to lose shit tons of cash.

                Another thing Gunn said that is working in his favor is that there is no corporate mandate from Warner Bros. to churn out a certain number of film and television projects at DC Studios. Gunn is an alum of Marvel Studios, having directed three “Guardians of the Galaxy” movies and a Christmas special, and he noted that Disney’s mandate to increase Marvel’s output amid the launch of Disney+ had a negative impact on the larger universe. Disney CEO Bob Iger has openly admittedto making this mistake.

                Huh, it did feel deliberate

                  Yes, just in time for everyone to be jaded with superhero movies. So, they'll take it as a cue that they should rampnit up in number, irrespective quality. Then surprise Pikachu face when their new (same) strategy fails again.

                  Eventually they will realise that good movies are good movies irrespective of IP or superhero. Of you allow good creative people to use existing IP, you've got a boost to early numbers, but it needs to be a good movie. If creative people try something new, often you'll get a hot, but you may get failures. It won't cost as much. If you churn IP with kink stories, the built in audience will see it but shrink over time until eventually even with skilled storytellers, they nope out.

                    The woke message of the movie that scared conservatives so much? "Saving lives is never wrong." Quake in your boots for the woke mind virus has infected you now.
