WHY DOES THE MEDIA HATE THE DCEU???

All week we’ve all heard a ton of rumors concerning the DCEU and its just plain stupid. If you think there is no BIAS against the DCEU then please stop reading because nothing I say here will interest you in any way or form.
There are obvious reasons why I believe there is BIAS, I know some of you who do not agree are all like “But, but wonder woman got more than 80% on rotten tomato” well I have an answer to that it is called FEMINISM!!!. Hey am not trying to say Wonder Woman only performed well because we live in a world ruled by feminist agenda,(From the last two female led Star wars movies to Wonder Woman)and even though Wonder Woman was a very good movie it would have been torn apart for being a DC movie if it had a male lead.
Here are some of the reasons why the DCEU gets hate from the media;
PEOPLE ARE TO USED TO MARVEL
The marvel cinematic universe has done a great job turning superhero movies into something mainstream and that Is one of the reasons why the DCEU is suffering. Marvel’s approach has always been more comedic and less serious and DC is doing the exact opposite of that and that actually makes most critics think DC is doing it ‘wrong’. If critics could just be open minded and see DC is doing their own thing we’ll see that peaceful coexistence is a strong possibility and we’ll stop seeing those annoying fan boy wars in the comment section of each Marvel or DC post on social media.
THE FAN BOYS
I can not deny the fact that to some extent I can be described as being a “FAN BOY’ but of recent I have been trying not to but the same can not be said about other fan boys. All they do is trash the rival’s company’s image(in this case,DC’s)and this is done each time they post dumb rumors like ‘my brother’s friend’s sister’s boyfriend has a cousin who watched The Justice League Movie early and he thinks it’s a disjointed mess”. The annoying part is sites like cosmicbook news,cbr,io9 and screen rant actually report these things and it is extremely annoying. Fanboys are really killing the DCEU and that includes the DC fanboys!Yes! I said it...we are unfortunately destroying ourselves by buying into this fake rumours and getting baited by marvel fan boys,why can't we act mature and be chill?maybe grab shawarma? Or say nice things about our rivals? No?,well I tried.
SUPER HERO/COMIC BOOK MOVIE FATIGUE
People are growing tired of comic book movies and by people i mean 'CRITICS' and i can understand why at least to some extent. I Feel like they think they are repetitive and like it or not it is because of Marvel's dominance and continous success which is Ironic is they are going against the DCEU brand that is actually putting out different type of movies. Maybe the critics just want to go back to the good old days when they didn't have to worry about super villains destroying cities and opening up portals. Hopefully they change their mind set and see the DCEU as a breath of fresh air.
They are a bunch of other things but they are probably part of my paranoia so I will not talk about that at all. So again thank you for reading please like, share and subscribe…you can comment too so I won’t feel like am talking to myself.

    Probably because there is too much weight on the characters to outweigh their previous iterations and therefore leave fans splitted. We've seen too many iterations of these iconic characters and thus new ones would just leave discords amongst fans.. That's why the MCU would always be critical darlings.. They don't have the issues of trying to do better than the previous iterations of their characters, with Homecoming being the only exception and that worked for it because fans clamoured for it after Spider-Man 3 and the Amazing Spiderman movies failed to connect with fans.. Yes they were entertaining buy they didn't really bring anything new. Same with Wonder Woman and Linda Carter's version.

I Truly Loved Wonder Woman 1984: An Honest Review

Written By
   Wonder Woman 1984 is the sequel to 2017's Wonder Woman with Gal Gadot, Chris Pine and Patty Jenkins all returning in their respective duties with the first two as actors and Patty as the director once again.   Wonder Woman 1984 has only been out for a few days and within that time has been destroyed critically with people (including a couple of my friends) downright calling it horrible and a strong contender for worst movie of the year. While I'm not one to be swayed by the popular opinion of most critic reviews, seeing a couple of people whose tastes I respect speak ill of the film honestly made me scared and so I avoided watching it until today when I decided that I had to be brave and face my fear!   As seen by the trailers and  other promotional materials, Wonder Woman 1984 is set in the 80's, specifically, 1984, the film has the classic retro feel to it and unapologetically embraces it. Please note that while I will not be spoiling anything major, I may ...

Ōkami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki (Wolf Children)

Written By
Anime is one of the best mediums of story telling in recent years. It's diverse and offers a wide variety of genres, from comedy, action, thriller and romance. Most popular series are usually fast paced, exaggerated and action packed but, pretty much all the amazing anime films are usually grounded, slow and visually phenomenal and these are qualities this film taps into.                        Ōkami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki (Wolf Children) is honestly what great movies are all about. I remember seeing the trailer a few months back and I was so interested in seeing how it would play out, while I knew I was going to be in for an emotional roller coaster, I didn't quite expect it to start within the first thirty minutes of the film's screen time.                    The film's premise from the trailer was pretty simple, a young optimistic female college student called Hana falls for...

IT(2017):Lazy Review

Written By
  I've been stuck thinking about what to post and I got nothing. But I remembered that I watched "IT" late December and I wasn't scared surprisingly. I mean,they were a couple of jump scares but overall nothing really scared me. It was a fun movie though and I see why it got a sequel announced and universal praise. It's based of the first chapter of the Stephen King novel of the same name and I have read a couple of pages from  the book but I haven't finished it because I'm lazy and I procrastinate a lot(I haven't still finished reading a song of ice and fire).   Set in the '90-somethings(I'm lazy don't eat me) in a town of something,something(I know,you're disappointed) a series of kids get missing and the adults of the town act like nothing's happening. Bill Denbrough(that's right,I remembered his name) looses his brother as well. Billy and other kids in the town(including his friends) start to see th...

Severance: An Unforgettable Thriller

Written By
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you didn't remember the stress of your workplace when you get home? From the mind of Dan Erickson, directed by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle, Severance offers an answer to the aforementioned question and pushes the limit by asking " when your consciousness is spilt into two, which one is the real you? " The series follows a severed employee at Lumon, Mark who has recently been promoted to the Head of Microdata and Refinement Department after the sudden resignation of his boss and the recruitment of a new employee, Helly Riggs. Plot Severance has a unique plot, while the execution of a series without a definite blueprint can prove difficult, it does not fall into this hole. The series answers (almost)all the questions it poses in the first few episodes but ends on a note that will leave you spiraling and brimming with inquisitiveness.  Characters For every character, we follow two distinct ...
