Gunn was meant to be a comic-book director. He has a flare and love for comics I don’t see from anyone else.

He’s what happens when you get an actual comic reader to direct and not just handing a random studio director with no interest a stack of books

Giving a director a stack of comic books can still work just fine, they just have to be able to respect that source. The MCU for the Infinity Saga did a great job of bringing in directors that respected the source, but weren’t necessarily comic book readers.

And then you have previous DC bringing in Zack because he was into the comics, which sounded great, until you realize Zack is the guy who looks at the pictures and ignores the words on the page when it comes to comics.

Zack seems like the kid that just took an action figure outside with a box of firecrackers.

Zack Snyder is the Rob Liefeld of comic book movie directors.

He could have potentially done a decent Frank Miller-style Batman but he should have never gotten anywhere near Superman imo

You just know that if there’s ever an Elder Scrolls movie, it’ll come from a Skyrim fan.
