Feige'd... the same way most Marvel output does (some surprisingly good performances too, though also some really bad ones people let off for nostalgia/wish-fulfilment, I'm looking at you Tatum! I know you can act when you want to!).There was something about how messy (complimentary) it was that really put me in mind of like, '90s action-adventure/low-end superhero movies, even though the content was entirely different.Agree re: 4-6 being questionable - I do think Gunn's plans, if executed might be more successful because a lot of the planned movies won't read as "superhero movies" in the genre way, whereas almost all of the MCU's output does. Like, he's planning on bringing The Authority into his DCU (probably a variant of The Authority featuring DC heroes, which means we will likely sadly lose the beautiful "Batman and Supes" gay married couple of The Authority sadly, I really love Midnighter and Apollo), and The Authority asks questions about superheroes that Marvel is literally terrified of asking, and has been dodging for movie after movie and in multiple TV shows, and is kind of more aligned with The Boys or Invincible in that sense.</blockquote>
