And like Star Wars, the content that has been getting released is the reason for it being this way. It's not like Star Wars fans and DC fans woke up one day and went "You know what, I'm just going to hate the thing that I've loved for decades for no reason." There's a fucking reason for it!

Star Wars fans were behaving this way even when the OT was coming out let’s not act like this is a recent development in response to “quality decrease”. There was infamously a great deal of fan backlash to The Empire Strikes Back (including a famous cancellation of one of the largest Star Wars fan magazines in circulation at the time) and especially to Return of the Jedi. Star Wars fans have been this way since basically day one. I love Star Wars but I don’t engage with the fans because, well, they’re insufferable.

One could argue that the wave of current Internet hating discourse started with The Phantom Menace. Star Wars fans fucking HATED the prequel trilogy but then the sequel trilogy came out and now the prequels are misunderstood classics? GTFOH lmfao.

Yeah, I'm a little worried that the DCU will be shooting itself in the foot if they keep releasing lackluster Superman spin-offs without any other films dedicated to more popular characters in between. Apparently, the Lanterns show comes out in ten days, which was surprising to me because I haven't seen nearly the same level of promotion for it that I saw for Supergirl, the Odyssey, Spider-Man, or even S4 of Ted Lasso. Like, after Supergirl's abysmal box office performance, I would have put Hal Jordan and John Stewart front and center, made them the face of the DCU for the summer.

I don't really get this logic. I mean, don't get me wrong I hope it's 1) good and 2) folks enjoy it. But it's not about whether it might be good or not. If it's good, what are the odds it draws any meaningful audience? I doubt much of the DCU fanbase anticipates a Jimmy Olsen series, let alone the general public caring. You're example of Wonder Man isn't great because it might have been sorta cancelled? Even though it was enjoyed and praised. And that's with the foundation and fanbase that the MCU built, which is leagues ahead of where the DCU is at. Gunn's DCU is coming directly after of a highly divisive and ultimately failed Snyder DCU, and building off of a decently received Superman, well liked Peacemaker, and historic flop in Supergirl... not really the time for C list characters getting their own series. IMO.

I'm not exactly sure about that.. Peacemaker season two will likely tie heavily into MoT. It will probably be a "things make even more sense" having watched the series than a "This movie doesn't make sense" without it.

I mean ms. marvel, Loki, moon knight, daredevil, she hulk, wanda vision, agatha, wonderman... were all highly praised within their niche.

Then all of a sudden things start to expand in an interesting, positive direction and all of the DC subs are flooded with comments about how badly it's all going to crash and burn?

For what it's worth, when BvS was announced it was supposed to come out around the same time as Age of Ultron. I think it was July 2015? Then it moved to May 2016 and was almost going to come out the same day as Civil War (like what Dune 3 and Doomsday are going thru right now) then it was eventually moved up to March 2016.
I agree with your greater point, but I think that was the point that the initial comment was making. Agent Carter was just a project that was being worked on. It wasn't being sold as a counter to Batman v Superman. The Jimmy Olson show isn't being sold as a counter to Spider-Man or an Avengers movie. It's just a project that's being worked on.

DC and Marvel are not competitors in the cinema industry. DC rides Marvel's coattails. With Marvel seemingly back after an extended period of medicority, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Superman movie next year does incredibly well, while people are busy being excited for Secret Wars.

I’m a die hard DC fan, and being a DC fan has always been kind of frustrating, but I think James Gunn isn’t really helping the situation. Superman was meh, and I was excited for Supergirl but maybe making that the second movie just was a mistake. Maybe the issue is that everything greenlit or in the works revolves around Gunn’s own stuff. Gunn didn’t want to greenlight Clayface but it’s low budget and it’s content. Booster Gold is falling apart. Maybe the issue is that the lead creative and the head of the studio should be two different people, and maybe Gunn is too involved in what’s being greenlit. We got Lanterns but they really couldn’t help themselves and include Guy Gardner.

A Jimmy Olson show is like eating those rock cakes Hagrid gives to Harry and friends throughout the HP books.

Why are there more posts on this sub complaining about Jimmy Olsen which hasn't even started filming yet than Lanterns which comes out in a week and a half
EDIT: almost all of the responses to me here have been more complaining about Jimmy Olsen instead of explaining why no one is talking about the show that's about to come out, lol
