[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8860266, member: 4348"] I hope that Gunn has a really good plan. Right now shock waves seem to be going through a LOT of industries with his current news. Not that it's unexpected, but the reaction I'm seeing just about everywhere says he has a REALLY REALLY bad PR problem right now (even bad PR is not unexpected and I even said it previously in this thread, but PR THIS bad is what is surprising me, and a reaction THIS massive against it is actually extremely surprising to me). (It was sort of looking like he wasn't going to have Cavill as Superman, but the aftershocks of it becoming official that I'm seeing is what I'd call a drastic failure of PR). Take the PR failure of 4e's announcement, or even worse, the PR failure of the Xbox One's initial announcement and the Sony announcement right after and the reactions that came from that...and even THOSE don't seem to equal the fallout I'm hearing right now from this announcement. I'm don't even own stock in DC, but if I was on their board I'd probably tell them they have to reverse that decision immediately OR jettison Gunn...post haste. The PR seems to be THAT bad from what I'm hearing from the general (not even specific fan reddits, forums, and commentary on the news, just the general commentary) audiences. He better be able to make rabbits magically appear out of his hat type of plan because PR like this before you even have the product out can literally sink your sales (Xbox one for comparison, sure, it sold decently, but it never really recovered from that original announcement to be a competitor for the PS4). [edit: to Gunn's credit he DID take a little known comic that wasn't massively well known and turn it into a successful and well loved film franchise...talking about GotG here folks...so it IS possible he has a plan that MIGHT work, but he didn't have a BAD PR thing at that time, more like a no one knows what it is type PR problem]. I said it before, but after seeing the waves online today, I'd say they have a SERIOUSLY BAD PR problem. I'd say they really have to get ontop of it pretty soon or it will stand a chance of sinking any hope of success for their Gunn plan before it has even gotten off the ground! Then again, I'm not a stock holder in Discover/WB/HBO or any of their holdings. Actually, kind of glad I'm not at this point, though in 2-4 years if they survive they may be a good one to look at buying at that point. They may know what they are doing, but it sure seems like they are just wandering the ocean without a compass or any sort of navigation at this point to me. [/QUOTE]
