Damn, are the companies starting to astroturf lemmy already? If so, y’all should at least vary your wording more or something

I’m surprised by how many comments are taking an optimistic look at these less than good screenings. Especially given the current state of comic book movies.
Lots of people have superhero fatigue, and I believe some of it is down to poor writing on the MCU side. When the MCU first took off the quips and little jokes would get a chuckle, but as time went on they became expected, and generated groans.
My concern with Gunn is his comic book films always have the same feel to them, trying to be serious while also leaning on the side of humour, and throwing lots of characters into the mix. I didn’t enjoy any of his comic book films except for the first GotG, however the Peacemaker TV show was great. I wonder if his style isn’t suited for the current cinematic climate?
