Although DC Pictures produced a lot of production, the development policy of the film industry was not very good, and "THR" reporter Boyce took stock of James Gunn's "seven deadly sins", after all, he was not very efficient after taking charge of DC Studios. First of all, Boyce felt sorry for Jenkins, "Wonder Woman" could have become a representative of female superheroes, Disney and Universal Pictures have started the layout of equal rights, and Hollywood's awareness of gender equality is unprecedentedly strong. Unfortunately, Gunn didn't seize the opportunity, he canceled the filming plan of "Wonder Woman", and director Patty Jenkins' hard work was in vain. For Jenkins, not making it to the big screen is a loss. At the same time, DC Pictures will also lose a good creator, no wonder Boyce feels sorry for both sides, and Gunn's operation is not good for both parties. However, it didn't end there.
Boyce also talked about the box office hit of "The Flash", the film's data did not meet expectations, and many people may say that Muscutti insisted on using Miller, and the audience did not buy it. Although Miller does fit the character characteristics of Alan Barry, and he is also a typical post-90s talented actor, his public image has deteriorated, and people do not accept people with bad life styles as decent heroes. Beuys mentions another aspect: The Flash is overrated. Even if the protagonist of this movie does not have an accident, the box office of the film will not be very high, because the quality of this work is average, and everyone overestimates the value and audience of "New Flash". "The Flash" is a highly anticipated movie, and it is this high-profile situation that is prone to overrated works. Again, the main problem lies with Gunn, who lacks a long-term solution.
Although Zaslav had some problems when choosing the management of DC Films, Boyce also pointed out that Gunn always only saw the immediate benefits and ignored the long-term plan. He often makes unwise decisions to meet the needs of the moment, often with more than he gains. Gunn also knew what his problems were, but he always struggled to overcome his impulsiveness and short-sightedness. After all, the work attributes of the president and director of the film industry are different, and he temporarily lacks the vision of the president, which is a long-term solution. Moreover, the third series of "Guardians of the Galaxy" was released during this period, and the turmoil of "job hopping" also affected Gunn's decision, so his plan for DC Studio basically focused on some small profits in front of him, and he didn't dare to make long-term plans at all.
At least the sequel to "Black Adam" has also been canceled, indicating that DC Pictures does lack a long-term plan at this stage. However, long-term planning is bound to come at a cost, and Boyce estimates that Warner's management is not that patient. In other words, if Gunn were to change to a different studio as president, or if he and Kevin Feige were in the opposite position, it is estimated that everyone would now say that Kevin Feige lacked a long-term plan. After all, the position of the boss of DC Studio, whoever sits is unlucky. After "Wonder Woman" and "Batgirl" were cancelled one after another, Gunn's decision sparked widespread attention and discussion in the industry and fans. Many believe that this is a huge misstep, as Wonder Woman is a beloved character and Jenkins is recognized for his creative talent.
On the contrary, DC Studios' preference for male heroes and male actors is even more offensive. Ezra Miller has already had moral problems, he is still the leading actor of "New Flash", and Warner is much more demanding of actresses, and Emera's matter is not conclusive at all, so she is excluded from the cast of "The Lost Kingdom". Boyce also wanted Zaslav to realize that canceling the filming of "Wonder Woman" was a wrong decision, and that Gunn, the "puppet", also needed to use his own judgment, while Jenkins did not give up, and she began to reach out to other production companies and filmmakers in the hope of finding an opportunity to bring her brainchild to the big screen. After all, "Wonder Woman 1984" received a good response, and the show's investment was not very large, so it was able to achieve good ratings, no wonder Boyce felt sorry for her.
In Boyce's eyes, the script of "The Flash" is very good, so everyone has high standards for the film, and the reason for being overrated is quite reunited. While it tries to tell a complex story, the story's plot and character development lack depth and detail. This makes it difficult for the audience to empathize with the movie and to understand some of the plot and character motivations in the movie. In other words, it is very difficult to shoot such works on the big screen, and everyone judges "The Flash" by the standard of the script, of course, it is overrated. The author (complacent watching the movie) believes that the production quality of the movie is not high. Although there are some wonderful special effects and action scenes, the overall level of production of the movie is not high. This makes it difficult for the audience to be captivated by the visuals of the film and to be impressed by the sound effects and soundtrack of the film. It can be seen that "The Flash" is overrated.
