Part 6/16:

The critique deepens with the observation that Gunn’s branding campaigns seem designed more to boost his ego than the actual film quality. The hosts highlight his overexposure, from magazine interviews to social media—and how his persona seems to overshadow the very characters he's meant to bring to life. They argue that Warner Bros. appears complicit, giving Gunn free rein, possibly confident that his loud personality will draw audiences, regardless of the film’s substance.

They further note Gunn's ambiguous plans: teasing sequels, unresolved scripts, and the dangerous idea that Superman might underperform. If it doesn’t surpass Man of Steel’s box office, the hosts warn, the entire DC cinematic plan could implode, leaving fans and executives scrambling.
