    So, Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 just released, and it’s fantastic. Genuinely an incredible experience, the perfect conclusion to the Guardians trilogy, and honestly probably my favorite MCU movie ever made.
    And now, James Gunn moves on from Marvel to head a new direction of the DC Universe, starting with writing and directing Superman: Legacy. Gunn is known for becoming friends with his casts and using a lot of the same actors across his movies. And he’s said that some of the Guardians cast will make an appearance in Superman.
    I’ve seen some pushback to the idea of Gunn directing this Superman movie for the DCU, but after how he handled Rocket Raccoon and Adam Warlock in Guardians, he's proven to me he's the perfect person to direct Superman: Legacy
    With great power, there must also come great responsibility:

    I like James Gunn because he actually makes us feel for the characters with emotions. Instead of characters just kinda bouncing off those genuine feelings. Also James Gunn likes Ultraman so he is based, he made Bloodsport utilize an upgradeable blaster like it's merch from Ultraman. He knows how to make superhero films not seem too good to explore the purely fun and emotional aspects of superheroes.

    Your experience walking into Guardians 3 was really close to mine. I think James Gunn has the amazing skill to take a character who feels hopeless and turn them hopeful. He does with his characters and in turn does it with his audience. I feel like compassion, love, and hope are things missing in most superhero media today, but those are the things that always pulled me in. It's those qualities which make me believe that I can be a better person. And that's what makes me so excited that James is directing Superman: Legacy. We're in a time where we really need that hope and love and Superman is the perfect symbol for that.

  • @dubsquad156
    @dubsquad156 Рік тому +3

    I feel like we need a Superman who is afraid of himself. Superman is an absolute powerhouse with a near infinite amount of strength, heightened senses, and abilities that at face value could kill anyone. Laser vision cuts nearly anything in its way and freeze breath is well freeze breath. So I feel like we need to understand how much Superman is holding himself back whenever he’s doing anything so when he saves someone with his full strength we can be thankful he’s on our side and he can be happy that his powers can be used to help people more than they hurt people, and when he’s forced to be more violent he’s a little sad that he has to hurt a human in order for the violence to stop. This can be juxtaposed when he goes up against people who are at the same level of strength as he is because his entire life he’s been a big fish in a small pond but when like say Zod, Doomsday, Brainiac or Darkseid show up they put him in his place because his godly strength barely hurts them because what he considers to be overkill they consider to be a light punch and I’m going to be honest I never really saw Superman as much of a combatant. I’m not saying he can’t throw a punch but he’s not a martial artist and he doesn’t have any form of formal training from what I can tell so when he goes up against someone with super strength who is also a trained warrior then the battles will seem more desperate. This would also make the Justice League feel even more special as now Superman would now be surrounded by people who are just as powerful as he is so he no longer feels alone especially if they decide to add Supergirl into the mix.

    Look past all the humor and silliness of Guardians and Suicide Squad, and you get very heartfelt, vulnerable stories that as you said, inspire us to rise above our pain and do the right thing. The more I hear James Gunn saying the right things about Superman, the more I trust his vision and the more excited I get. I have hardly any doubts that he will give the character the love and care he deserves. I loved Man of Steel to death, but I am so excited to give James Gunn a shot.
    P.S. Thank you for being so transparent and upfront with how you've been doing mentally. I do hope things start looking up for you soon. And yet you still put out solid content in spite of it all. But always remember to give yourself a break if you need.

    I can understand the pain the Guardians have gone through… but I can really understand Rocket’s pain. But I also love the character that Quill goes through. Having to learn to move on as a person. To let go. It… really got to me. The ending had me tearing up since it made me feel so many emotions.

    Rising above feeling worthless is something I too connected with heavy in the film. The theme of depression and worthlessness is also something I could’ve seen working stronger for M.O.D.O.K. in Quantumania as well. Constantly in that movie Kang basically belittles Darren and treats him as a lackey. I think that character could’ve worked much more better had in the movie had Kang mentally torture him. Telling him he’s worthless, his life has no meaning, and what has happened to him, happened because he deserved it. In the final showdown of the movie where they’re all facing Kang, the scene between Cassie and M.O.D.O.K. would’ve been a lot better. Had he would’ve told her when defeated in that scene after she punches him. That he’s worthless, he doesn’t deserve to live. After trying to destroy her life, her fathers life, and many others before; why should anyone like him ever to deserve to live for what he’s done. He tells her to kill him, but of course Cassie doesn’t; instead of telling him it’s never too late to not be dick (which I thought was a tad cringey) She could’ve told him: “No one is ever worthless. Not even you, it’s never too late to change who you are.”
    Then when his death happens in the scene where he attacks Kang, you could’ve had him tell Kang. “I AM NOT WORTHLESS!” That could’ve been a bit more hard hitting for the character, considering how much the movie wants to play on him as a joke. He could’ve been humorous but also understandable, relatable in a sense. He’s menacing too because of the hurt in his life that plagues him. Feeling depressed, bitter, and rage full after everything that’s happened in his life now, that could’ve been a nice way to wrap a bow on the character for the trilogy of Ant Man movies. For him to have that epiphany of releasing that even someone like him; with all the terrible things he may have committed in his life before, his life is not worthless. His sacrifice would’ve been a lot more better to me in that way.
    But of course they don’t try to think of anything too far like with the character because he needs to be silly. It is of course an Ant Man movie after all, and that’s a shame because that makes me even more sour that we didn’t get an Edgar Wright trilogy of Ant Man movies instead of Peyton Reed.

    He's one if the few people in Hollywood that still knows how to make successful super hero movies and unlike Snyder, Gunn actually respects and understands the character of Superman.

    I feel like Gunn is gonna do a great job with the villain for Superman Legacy because of stuff like quil choosing his humanity over ego in volume 2 or TSS which has so much compassion.

    I honestly dont think I've cried more in a Superhero movie, than I did in Guardians 3. It was absolutely heartbreaking at some points, while also maintaining the classic humor that the Guardians are really known for. So, with this level of emotion Gunn put into this film, I really think he could make an absolutely spectacular and special movie for Superman

    2)Vin Diesel as Rex Mason/Metamorpho;
    3)Michael Rooker as William Tockman/Clock King.

  • @rev8247
    @rev8247 Рік тому +1

    Hey man, sorry to hear about you having a though time. I guess it really do be something we all go through. I do want to say tho that I really appreciate you as a creator and online personality that’s centered around being a comic fanboy. It was particularly your brand of kindness and empathy that felt fresh to me, as unbelievable as that may sound. Often I see a lot of DC fans for example who are clearly very misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, etc. A good example would be in the infamous Superboy being bi drama. In general they tend to spread a lot of hate towards specific groups, and just hate in general. So it honestly puts a smile on my face to see a creator who is the exact opposite of that kind of hate and is opposed to it. While at the same being able to enjoy comics that can be seen as “boyish”, but not be the toxically masculine person I associate a certain part of that fanbase to be, but of course that’s just a specific group, but still. As a guy myself, I personally find you to be a nice male role model for me. I know you’re probably not perfect behind the scenes and all that, cause nobody is, but I appreciate that you at least put out content that makes me want to type in a comment like this about you and your videos. I really do hope things work out for you ^^

    I love how you can see James Gunn change and improve with each Guardians film in some aspect, no other comic book trilogy to me has that whilst being so consistent, any one of them being someone's favorite I would understand. The first film was solid, it had a great emotional core and I really enjoy it. I don't love it as much as some people and the villain was one of the blandest the MCU has to offer, but he took note of that. Volume 2 upped the emotional stakes, brought in some darker aspects and had a great villain (The High Evolutionary was great but Ego on top of being to me the first truly hateable MCU villain was just a more interesting concept to me) but he went a bit overboard with the humor undercutting emotional moments, yet that's still the MCU film that probably resonates with me the most. Volume 3 just nailed all of it, the heart, the humor was handled perfectly and man did he go dark, like wow I was blown away in that regard.
    Those films by nature to me have more heart than The Suicide Squad, but that film is still my favorite of his films. It was everything I wanted it to be and then some, heck it got me to finally get into writing. I'll absolutely give whatever he does with DC a shot.

    If james gunn has proven anything is that he puts his heart and soul in every project and in his superheroes projects it shines brighter. Compared to marvel that has always tried to remian more in lined with the real world just with superheroes; the dc universe is wierd and strange by default so havung james gunn leading the new dc cinematic universe is spot on. As to who of the gotg cast id say bautista would be a fun to see as a more physically imposing lex who not only a threat intelectually but physically, mantis's actress would be nice to see as mercy graves, and sean gunn as otis lex assistant/ henchman from the old reeves superman.
