What a wild ride for Gunn. 1) Gets fired from Marvel due to a particularly popular asshat with an axe to grind makes a mountain out of a molehill by digging up old tweets that Gunn had previously already disavowed. 2) Makes one of the best films DC has put out in the DCEU. 3) Gets hired back at Marvel, and gets a spin-off show for one of the breakout characters from his DC film. 4) Spin-off show is a hit with critics and viewers(though gets mostly looked over come award season) 5) Gets hired to co-run all of DC’s visual media division. The dude just keeps winning. Also married his long term girlfriend/one of the costars if the spinoff

Glad he gets his swan song with GOTG Vol. 3 and (I think?) the Holiday Special. Wishing him luck with the new DC job.

Honestly, I think this is almost like the equivalent of WWE/AEW right now. We've got people on both sides that like making movies that appeal to different flavors of comic book fans. Seems like DC's going to be in better shape now.

The co-CEO of DC Studios will spend the next several months promoting a Marvel Studios movie. That's something I never imagined happening. I guarantee you Feige advised him to take the job. Hell, Feige's probably already drafting up ideas for Avengers vs. Justice League.

I'm happy with this. Peacemaker is one of the best things in the DCEU, IMO, and although it was largely ridiculous, it also packed an emotional punch when it needed to. His Suicide Squad was also more fun than it had any right to be.
All in all, I don't particularly care who's making the movies as long as they're good and Gunn has a good DC record so far.

When aren’t they? on a good day they’re just people who worship hack filmmaking. I hope Gunn’s first directive is to add a villain to the movies named Snyder whose power is that he shits himself in slow motion while a melancholy version of f*** You plays.

So DC is going to be under strict Gunn control

One thing I really want to see in this new regime: a POWER GIRL movie or TV show. I know we've already got several flavors of Supergirl already between the Arrowverse and her appearance in the Flash movie. But Karen Starr is a lot different character from Kara Danvers. Something roughly based on the Jimmy Palmiotti/Amanda Conner run of the character could be a ton of fun. Not the exact storylines so much as the general feel and tone of the show and character go.

Could see her showing up in a Justice Society based film considering they've started integrating them.

Pretty interesting. Gunn’s brilliant. Between the rock, gunn, the Flash movie, Joker 2, Pattinsons Batman..shit is going to get really interesting. Pretty chaotic tbh but it can only go up from here.

For continuity's sake, they could have done a Superman cameo similar to the Shazam cameo. But that would rob me of seeing Henry Cavill's pretty face. Do you see my dilemma? :D I appreciate your appreciation for Henry Cavill, but know I will fight you over him. Nothing personal, just years of a (one-sided) torrid love affair I need to defend.

I almost wanna find that guy who dug up Gunn's old tweets and ask him "How'd that work out for ya, pretty good?"
