I'm pretty confident in Gunn moving the DC forward though, everything he makes is pretty good

Hey Rock.... Captain America also cost 60 million less than Black Adam and Disney probably spent less on promoting the thing. Companies don't spend 350 million to make a measly 50 mil if you are lucky.

I mean if I were Gunn I'd want to start over as fresh as possible. There is too much baggage with the Snyderverse. Plus, I am sure Gunn didn't come on to fulfill someone else's vision.

Stand alone movies with WW do nothing for the universe, at best you want her as a side character or save for ensemble.

I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of WW, but I thought Gal was perfect for the role.

Shame.

And correct me if I'm wrong-- but Captain America (first movie) wasn't this big action star that Dwayne Johnson is supposed to allegedly be.

The comparison falls flat for that reason alone.

The mediocre "success" of Black Adam is commentary on The Rock's drawing power being overestimated. They gave Black Adam the 195m budget only because it's Dwayne Johnson. They didn't give Captain America that money. Rock got the lions A list box office treatment and didn't deliver.

The guy basically posted a self-own on Twitter inadvertently. EDIT: Yeah I checked and nothing about Chris Evans jumps out at me before Captain America. He was in that Fantastic Four bomb. He wasn't a certified movie star.

I'm not saying it didn't make sense to give Dwayne Johnson a lot of money. It probably made sense, but in hindsight this might not happen again based on Black Adam's performance.

And yeah you are right that Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019) smashed the box office. 750m on a 200m budget

That's with Jason Statham and Idris Elba. No Vin Diesel.

He actually played the Johnny Storm role pretty well. I always found it funny that he went form Human Torch to Capt America.
