What are your thoughts on DC movies and shows? Marvel is imploding upon itself, so I'm trying to get more acquainted with the company that makes content for adults. I don't care for most properties outside of the Batman/Gotham variety, but I do believe DC has something decent every now and then that isn't just Batman. DC is also brave enough to do standalone movies outside of the convoluted and cluttered continuities of the "cinemative universe" trend.
I got HBO Max to catch up on some comic junk, and Harley Quinn season 3 is out now. It's a fun show with a lot of dirty gags, and Christopher Meloni as Jim Gordon is the best. Also, Harley and Poison Ivy are in a relationship. She's sooo over Joker.
I also watched Peacemaker, which is a spin-off of THE Suicide Squad, which is a sequel to Suicide Squad, which is a spin-off from the Justice League movies, but apparently, none of that matters. DC plays fast and loose with the continuity, because fuck it. Most of their stuff sucks anyway, but that attitude right there has been the reason the whole thing has been getting better. But Peacemaker as a show was okay at best. John Cena did keep it afloat though.
I wanted to watch Swamp Thing, which is supposed to be James Wan's body horror contribution to the DCEU, but HBO took it off. Bastards! Swamp Thing has always been a favorite of mine, due to the 1982 & 1989 movies and a slew of action figures.
And last of all... the DC animated movies are better than the live-action movies. "Flashpoint Paradox" and "Doomsday" are pretty awesome.
And if you hate DC, then you should watch The Boys, which makes the Justice League knockoffs into evil attention whores, which makes things infinitely more interesting. It's one of the few current shows get excited for.
