make 100 of anything, make a hundred blenders a hundred cars or a hundred bottles of hooch - there's gonna be good ones, bad ones, mediocre ones, a whole range.

you can see this in star trek, star wars, marvel, etc.

funny enough, you don't see it in the DCU....because aquaman is a high point over there. blech

Re: DCU, THE Suicide Squad is quite enjoyable. The series Peacemaker that is a spin-off of it is also good. THE Batman is good, and the Penguin series is good.

But ya, they have some huge stinkers. I basically just assume a DCU product is going to be garbage. I can't believe they still let Zack Snyder make movies.

The Batman and Penguin are DC but not DCU. The Suicude Squad and Peacemaker are both made by Gunn - they're kind of the unofficial start of a new era. The Zack Snyder days is the DCU we're criticizing. It seems with Gunn things are getting better.

Creature Commandos was surprisingly good as well.

Animated series on Max that dropped a few weeks ago. It's the first release of James Gunn's DC universe.

valid points.

I don't think anyone can make a lot of any product and have uniform perfection, it just doesn't work that way.
