James Gunn Haters and Zack Snyder Stans get a reality check as Avatar 2 overtakes a box office hit

Due to its impeccable track record in both the MCU and DCEU, most comic book enthusiasts were hooked James Gunn coming on board to usher the latter into a glorious new age of box office success, but what the creatives inevitably had to do to achieve that has caused a rift in the community, and that makes it easy.

In the meantime, Avatar: The Way of Water just surpassed $1 billion at the global box office, reigniting hopes of salvation for history’s most expensive sequel The last of us The fans breathe a sigh of relief because a possible film adaptation is canceled.

anti-James Gunn debates are falling apart quickly thanks to Zack Snyder

DC fans still seem to think that Zack Snyder was the best thing that could have happened to the franchise, despite directing three of the most controversial films in the cinematic universe and otherwise muddying the waters for any attempt at a coherent, interconnected narrative. Yes, James Gunn may have canned one man of Steel continued and stopped the wonder woman Threequel in its footsteps, but if we’re being completely honest the DCU needs a hard reboot if it’s going to compete with the MCU on any level.

The company’s track record, particularly under Snyder, hasn’t garnered critical acclaim or a box-office explosion, so maybe it really is time to let the past die.

The way of the water is the second fastest-moving film outside of the MCU, grossing $1 billion

Apparently this has been hyped for a long time avatar Sequel almost destroyed the MCU competition by becoming the second fastest-growing film in the series and grossing $1 billion worldwide. Avengers: Endgame still has the lead, and avatar 2 is the fifth overall, but that’s not too shabby for a sequel that’s about to be a huge disappointment, is it?

Hollywood was pretty close to ruin The last of usbut things luckily fell apart

Only two weeks separate us from experiencing this last of us Television adaptation on HBO. Series stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as Joel and Ellie, and starring ChernobylWith Craig Mazin and Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann at the helm, we have no doubt it will satisfy fans of the most acclaimed video games in history.

Now the community has another reason to celebrate, because apparently Hollywood tried to do it last of us film in the mid-2010s and pushed to make the story “bigger and sexier” like Hollywood would do. Of course, these two are hardly the words we would use to describe them The last of us. Fortunately, these differences in creative vision could not be reconciled, and the project was shelved.
