I haven’t seen his latest movies, but the consensus seems that they’re bad. But when I saw ZSJL it felt like a more complete story arc. I don’t know how better DCEU would’ve been if he did his plan, but at least we wouldn’t have gotten Joss Whedon’s cut.
Yeah, at the time it seemed like people wanted lighthearted, bright, popcorn superhero movies, and the fatigue wasn’t apparent yet. This is why i think if Zack had his way it would’ve been better, he wanted to do something interesting and risky, and maybe create something that’s not in the same formula Marvel has perfected and overused.
Let’s hope James Gunn doesn’t go for the same strategy Marvel has right now.
