Is it too late to submit this as a Bond application?

GREAT TAKE ⬇️
I don't think Gunn and Safran's tenure was perfect. Superman was promising, Supergirl was a mess, and Clayface was fun. It's intellectually disingenuous to act like Gunn was intentionally ignoring iconic characters because he has a personal affinity for C-tier misfits.View quoted post on X
Man of Tomorrow, the franchise's 4th in-universe movie, was going to introduce Wonder Woman. The MCU's first four films were Iron Man 1 & 2, The Incredible Hulk, and Thor. And, trust me, no one was hailing the franchise as the Hollywood game-changer it'd eventually become at that time.
Gunn was tasked with being DC's Kevin Feige and literally wasn't given the time (as far as film production goes -- THE AVENGERS was the MCU's 6th movie). It would have helped to have a public plan for Batman, sure, but who knows where that'd be if Reeves' sequel came out when it was originally supposed to in 2025?
Ultimately, Gunn's DCU would have been fine. Perfect for neither fans nor investors, but serviceable to both. Now the billionaires are instead choosing to start the cycle over again, in which the best-case scenario is marginal gains and the worst is a complete implosion like the DCEU.
In short: IDIOTS.
I definitely agree that the rollout plan of Superman -> Supergirl -> Clayface was bizarre and probably doomed them to a degree, but Lanterns was so good and the table is set for Man of Tomorrow!
I wish they stayed in place til that movie came out. What if that's an absolute home run?!
