THE FLASH - What Went Wrong?
In this video, we break down what went wrong with The Flash, the film that was supposed to redefine the DC Universe but instead became one of 2023’s biggest box office flops. Despite the hype and early praise from industry icons like James Gunn and Tom Cruise, The Flash struggled to find its footing, leaving Warner Bros. with a significant financial loss. So, how did this $220 million blockbuster end up as a cautionary tale for modern superhero films?
We’ll explore:
1) Ezra Miller’s controversies and how the star’s troubled public image made it challenging for Warner Bros. to promote the film.
2) The multiverse storyline that was meant to excite fans with cameos like Michael Keaton’s Batman but instead felt underwhelming compared to Marvel’s successes with similar themes.
3) The VFX criticism, including the infamous baby scene and why audiences found the CGI lacking for a movie with such a large budget.
4) The DCEU’s identity crisis and how the shifting direction under James Gunn and Peter Safran’s leadership made it hard for The Flash to connect with audiences.
5) The marketing missteps that gave away too many surprises and failed to build genuine anticipation among fans.
Join us as we dissect the key factors that led to the downfall of The Flash and what it means for the future of the DC Universe. Was it doomed from the start, or did it just get lost in the crowded summer of 2023? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

    They should do a spin off with both the characters Paloma and Felix. With a mentor dynamic sprinkled with some funny moments and one liners. Both actors are really good and they helped build these two characters that were really small cool highlights of the movies.

    Wish they would make the next ones in their right historical context. Just go back to the Cold War. And don’t update the mindset, mannerisms and dialog to a “modern audience”. Trust the audience to be intelligent enough to understand some things were as they were and they’ll judge it by themselves as each sees fit. What am I saying.. Hollywood has been exposed for all the creepiness that existed at its core for decades and decades, so much so that now all studios are very afraid of any single negative comment about any line of dialogue in a movie on twitter or tik tok, by any small influencer. So, if they never trusted their audience’s intelligence its not now that they’ll do it..

    I’m pretty sure even Fleming (who although was writing serious thrillers but at the same time was completely unpretentious about what he was writing. He knew damn well that he was writing stuff of fantasy. But that’s not to say that they weren’t good. They were fantastic) would’ve thought that they take themselves way too seriously and would’ve thought of it as really dull (heck he’d be the first to say that it’s all a bit silly. In DAF, He has Tiffany case say that it could be a buster Keaton comic movie. in TB, bond tells Felix that this whole thing is one big thriller story for the daily express which was said again in TSWLM).

    They allowed women to have a Say. As soon as Barbara took power over Michael G after TWINE, it all went down the Sewer! Because as soon as women get a say over the Man, we just get Woke, Man Hating, Mawkish Emo Drama! Hellywood needs to Stop letting women call the shots! for they are enabling their Rebellion against men, against Integrity, against Morality! in doing so! Why are the Mission: Impossible movies so good, if Non Canon until or unless they Retcon the First one and Exonerate Jim Phelps in Final Reckoning of course, and Bond isn't? because the M:I Films are made by Men! *for* Men and not women for cheap Oscar Bait! So I say its time to Put *Men* back in Charge and Bond may stand a chance so long as they Reboot back to the 1950's and make Bond, well, BOND again, a Tall, Dark, Middle Aged yet still Devastatingly Handsome, White, Invulnerable, Hard Fighting, Hard Drinking (with Benzedrine mixed in!), Hard Gambling, "Love them and Leave them alone", more than a little Misogynist ("Shut up Woman and get me my Breakfast!" -the Bond of the Books!), Aloof, Remote, Britain First Right or Wrong, Indefatiquable, WW2 Veteran, an Ice Cold Killer, and an absolute Lothario! a 1950's conservative British Hero! and always with a Pun or Quip for every Situation, as Quick with his Tongue as he is with his M1911 (I cannot see a WW2 Veteran using a Nazi Gun like the PPK, however, Bond did use an M1911 in some of the Earlier Books) or his Custom Bodied, Supercharged R-Type Continental "Locomotive". As for the women? they are just there to look pretty and Scream a lot! Foreigners? Enemies of Britain, SMERSH Stooges under Various Dictators out to Destroy the UK on Behalf of Russia, and there purely to be Massacred by Bond in the Name of Queen and Country! Make Bond BOND again! Back to the Books!

    You don't tug on Superman's cap, you constitute into the wind, you pull the mask off that old lone ranger, and you don't kill James Bond. There was nothing right about this film right from the start and never recovered. This video hit everything right on the head. For me, this was not what I wanted for the end of the Craig era, When I realised what was about to happen I actually got up and walked out of the theater and waited for my wife , just as I walked thought the doors into the lobby there were boos . Watching the people come out of the theater I wasn't the only one who felt this way, several people were saying it was an awful ending, one said there was no point in ever seeing another Bond film again he's dead.

    Eon betrayed the fans. You cant kill Bond. What do they do next? Reboot again? Reboot seems to be a handy plot device when you dont know what to do next. I had the feeling Eon killed him off out of spite because Daniel left. This film was awful, I saw it once, never again. I largely enjoyed Daniel Craigs Bond until this. Are Eon going to kill of every Bond when the actor has gaul to leave? Grow up.
