This is Hollywood. It's not about creativity, it's about making $$$. He does it. HE makes a lot of $$$ for studios.

I can see no reason that JJ Abrams should have the reins to any major franchise

That's easy. He's safe

Yep, Snyder took a different approach and DC/WB regrets it.

The Dark Knight

He's good at blowing stuff up and cool special effects

I thought that was Michael Bay? Maybe they are really the same person

I enjoy his vision but can't stand his attention to detail.

Ummm, what fantasy, action, sci-fi movie does not have huge plot holes?

Most do but in the case of Star Wars you have to pay extra special attention

mudpupper

5/10/21 10:21am

Yea I don't think that really matters to anyone except the nuts. Star Wars will

DC can’t get any worse than they already are so they have nothing to lose.

Have you seen Green Lantern? It can get worse.

Or Superman IV, or Batman and Robin, or Halle Berry's Catwoman...

The Dark Knight

5/10/21 11:25am

Those are what I’m referring to. DC has always been a dumpster fire.

Always been in a dumpster fire? C'mon son!

Kevin Feige was a student of Richard Donner. If there was no Superman, there

I don’t even count those and I probably should to be fair. Superman was legit.

You must mean the last 8 years...it hasn't been as long as you think.

The Dark Knight

Feige never took over Spider-man. Spider-man is still Sony. He just has way more

Great point. For some reason the joint venture seems to be much higher quality

I've never seen a director with less understanding of how space and time work

Thank you for saying this. Those things about JJ have always bugged me.

Ungoy

These are fundamentals, and I don't understand how he got the go-ahead.

Mitty

His format seems more suited to TV than film
