It’s a really strange twist of an event, Clayface It has become DCU’s most anticipated film. Certainly, in the future Superman The movie looks fun, but I’ve seen Man of Steel tights and flights on the big screen several times. We it’s not What I saw was a written horror film of fame Midnight Mass With Maestro Mike Flanagan I don’t talk about evil Directed by James Watkins. The creative power behind Clayface The film is proof of what James Gunn learned from the failures of the DCEU and is ready to create an adult comic book film that is not an exercise in Edgelord Nonsense.
James Gunn Rights DCEU mistakes
To understand the importance of Clayface to James Gunn’s DCU, it is important to look back at why the DCEU has become such a huge failure. Looking back, the biggest problem with the film’s universe was its attempt to position itself as a more serious alternative to Marvel. Essentially, if the MCU is filled with family-friendly superheroes, the DCEU is filled with edgy stories brought to it by even more sharp characters.
The idea works on paper. After all, the best way for a new cinema universe to succeed is for it to distinguish it from its biggest competitor. But the problem is that “edge” gave way to “edgeroad” from the start. Superman’s first adventure, for example, ends with him killing Zod, and their battle almost defeated every building in the metropolitan city. After that, the DCEU tried to brighten up by bringing in. Buffy the Vampire Slayer Creator Joss Whedon re-editing Zack Snyder Justice Leaguehowever, that CGI mustache cover up film was so bad that the studio eventually fell into Snyder’s original film and released it.
In other words, the film’s universe has come back from edgy to family-friendly and back. It quickly became clear that Warner Bros. was throwing everything into the wall and seeing what was stuck. It was honestly embarrassing to watch, but as a DC Superfan, Clayface excited me. The big name attached to this villain’s origin story provides tentative evidence that James Gunn has learned from the DCEU’s mistakes, and ultimately provides a serious alternative to the MCU where we are always not so tightly snugly in our seats.
The exact story details are unknown, but it is highly rumored Clayface It will be a horror/thriller with a focus on the tragic story of the character in the title. The version of the villain we see is equally unknown, as this serious film is unlikely to portray him as the walking mud guy watching in cartoons. Batman: Animated Series and Harley Quinn. This seems to be a very serious view of characters with some major patos, energized by two main players in the horror genre, Mike Flanagan and James Watkins.
This shows how James Gunn knows how to unite the talents of killers, but how does this prove that all of this has learned from the failures of the DCEU? In short, it seems like they’re beginning to acquire serious alternatives to the MCU, which treats characters and audiences with equal dignity. That’s certainly a very It’s a low bar, but it wasn’t long ago that Warner Bros tried to win fans with slops like theirs. Suicide Squad And the Brutal Vanity Project Black Adam…Compared to those films, Clay fuckE has the potential to change comic book movies.
Given Marvel’s current state, James Gunn chose the best time to give us a more mature alternative to the failed DCEU. The MCU has become a bloated confusion of bewildering stories and stunt casting, like the strange decision to return Robert Downey Jr. as Dr. Doom. If DCU can hit the ground running in a movie like Clayface And, reminding the audience of the possibilities of comic book films, Warner Bros may ultimately solve the enduring problem of superhero fatigue.
