James Gunn's Failure is WORSE Than You Think

James Gunn, technically, has not produced a dollar of profit in DC superhero movies while his movies were in the theaters. What does that mean? 2021’s Suicide Squad was a $100 million dollar box office failure… yes, Covid-19was a thing at the time. Regardless, it’s still a $100 million dollar stain on a legacy that hadn’t begun yet. Fast forward and we get Peacemaker season 1, which didn’t break any streaming viewership records. And in between controversy and drama on Twitter nearly every other day, eventually that would lead us to Superman 2025, which was meant to be the launching point of the NEW DC Universe. Now that the dust has faded on Superman, we can see now that this movie, as astroturfed as it was with marketing dollars, failed to be profitable while it was in theaters. I keep pointing out the “in theaters” caveat because Suicide Squad and Superman could have and likely did make money in other places like home video and streaming; at least for Superman we can speculate that it did; as for Suicide Squad, I don’t think we’ll ever know. But that brings us to Peacemaker season 2, which, ratings-wise, dramatically underperformed. It didn’t even hit the Nielsen charts, despite getting an internal 22% bump for HBO’s internal metrics. Now, I need to break for a moment here and explain that the controversies that I haven’t mentioned have absolutely been factors in the overall James Gunn legacy equation. Every other day there are quotes from Gunn himself appearing online describing his views on the DCU and these quotes are rendered down to being sometimes lies, sometimes bad marketing, and sometimes pride going a little too far. Overall, this arrogant marketing flair had led to confusion and distance for customers, or in this case, viewers who might have watched or paid to see any of this DCU content. But okay, I can hear you already, Wizard. What does this all mean? Where are you going, and why is it bad if James Gunn fails? Why would James Gunn’s failure be a bad thing?
