The way the stare of the Warner Bros executive is just this incredibly confused mix of disappointment, anger and being impressed all at the same time has me dying
The “10x the crying raccoons” is especially funny because up until now, it feels like DC’s been taking all the wrong lessons from successful Marvel movies
Sad thing is, something like that is on the very edge of plausibility. Just barely. In DC's Legion of Super Heroes (the 1990s version), there is a planet of giant, sapient snakes who had enslaved a race of raccoons to work in the mines, much to the anger of the snake princess who just happens to be one of the Legionnaires, Jeka Wynzorr/Sensor, who was the 90s version of Princess Projectra. Really. It's obscure and very unlikely to ever come up, but it's there.
"Put Detective Chimp in the movie. There's a Squirrel Green Lantern? Use it! An angry kitty Red Lantern, why not?! Don't forget Krypto!" - Warner Bro.s execs
There's nothing wrong with jokes as long as they fit the scene. Many jokes in these movies are there to force people to laugh. Gunn knows how to make the characters interact with each other and how some situations will eventually lead those characters to do dumb funny things.
Brightburn isn't good though. Although we can debate whether that's a superhero movie. Edit: someone below already corrected me that James isn't the director nor the writer. The other Gunn brothers are the writers and the director is Yarovesky. James is the producer.
James Gunn really made an instant classic superhero movie for Marvel, followed it up with a great sequel, then made an amazing superhero movie for DC, and then basically got crowned the god of DC movies moving forward, and then he decided to hop back on over to Marvel real quick to make the best movie they have made in years, and now will resume his role as god of DC, orchestrating everything they're doing starting soon. Truly the definition of "I play both sides so I always come out on top"
Bro I swear guardians vol.2 is the most underrated movie ever. I guess I can understand it though since it’s a blockbuster that decides to not play by the golden book of rules for blockbusters, so for people only looking for the average blockbuster or the average marvel movie it’s maybe disappointing.
Yeah my thoughts exactly, though its a double edge for WB, on one hand it builds reputation for gunn on the other its helping your, then dying, concurrent. So how much people will associate the movie quality to gunn or marvel will ultimately be the defining factor for the net gain, regardless even if it helps disney more than WB it would still be worse for WB too if it flopped because of the place DC is now
You’d be surprise at all the weird hate. Ppl who are good at publicity are getting jobs are also good at tearing ppl down. They make it seem like Gunn was the last person they asked for the job. And other tactics
@@-Seaheart- But marvel and dc aren't even true rivals when it comes to numbers, people know this is the case in comics but they act like it's a competition when it comes to their cinematographic universe. In reality, what they need is that superheroes stay relevant, because if it wasn't for Marvel movies making superheroes this popular, people would maybe watch movies like batman or the next superman, but there would be zero interest to watch The suicide squad, black adam, shazam etc.
This 100%. Having good films on both sides helps keep excitement for the superhero genre up. Outside of the internet, not many people care about the marvel/dc debate. If the marvel movies start flopping before DC gets going, that's really going to hurt them.
All joking aside James Gunn is one of the best superhero movie filmmakers working today and I’m excited to see how he handles his Superman movie and the rest of DC
I love how he genuinely has a passion for these characters. It really shows in his movies, just as Matt Reeves’ love for Batman showed in his. And now that Gunn is head of DC, I have genuine hope for DC in film beyond just a few select projects.
Becuase James Gunn actually understands superheroes. Gunn makes superheroes comic accurate instead of making them edgy and completely out-of-character for the sake of "realism". (Fuck you Zack Snyder)
I don't know if his strengths (great character writing for damaged, odd, and/or morally grey characters) and weaknesses (juvenile jokes) land him well for anything other than Suicide Squad or odd characters of DC... Like, Superman is a very very different character and type of superhero that is on the opposite end of Guardians or the S. Squad.
It's so nice that the guardian movies just got to (mostly) be their own thing. Like they don't feel weighed down by the obligation to advance the greater storyline of the mcu or set up countless other spin off movies.
@@gummyboots yeah but the movies about the guardians themselves, as a trilogy. It’s already happened with Infinity War and Endgame and though I haven’t seen it but they were in the trailers Love and Thunder I think.
It probably helps that the Guardians movies are basically exclusively in Space and on alien planets. There is practically no other MCU character or series doing that. Even the characters who come from space, or go into space, we practically never see them interacting with anything in space. So the Guardians pretty much never interact with the larger MCU in their own movies. They mostly do that when they make appearances in other movies, Aka Avengers Infinity War and Endgame, as well as Thor: Love and Thunder.
I’m that moment Drax made so much sense to me. It’s sad cause it was at the very end of the last movie that I truly felt a close connection to him. But hey, I’m glad I even got that experience in the first place
@@danielsanabria6917 It even adds context to him being worried about Mantis going off on her own without him to protect her. He said it himself in GoG2, she reminded him of his daughter and I think it shaped all their interactions. He's....Drax about it but he's always trying to protect her.
If Guardians is the bar he's set I'm so excited to see how he does Superman. His films have a common throughline regarding characters reconciling their pasts to move forward and I can totally see that being illustrated in the dichotomy between the House of El and the Kents in Smallville
@@jojosoni Everything he's been saying about Superman's capacity to see the best in humanity and WB describing the film as an epic has me thinking Gunn knows to take a different direction, especially given this isn't an instance of him reinventing a nicher character or set of comics where it was safer to take liberties with material unfamiliar to audiences. Superman has expectations tied to it and I think he gets that
Honestly, I'm tired of both sets of Superman's parents, their instructions and desires on how he should live his life. He's a grown man. Tired of this mf flying back to Smallville for a peptalk everytime Lex calls him stupid, or getting brainwashed by a talking chandelier on the North Pole that forbids him from having sex cause it might interfere with his mission of leading the human race to some vague greatness.
James Gunn made me bawl over a talking Raccoon and yet the DCEU’s version of the Death of Superman made me feel absolutely nothing. James Gunn really is the best person for DC.
Well to be fair, rocket has had a great arc. Not just in the guardians movies, but he was great in infinity war and endgame too. If supes hadn't died in his second appearance, things might have been better. Then again, yondu died in his second appearance and it had me ugly crying so...
To think, if Joss Whedon didn't royally burn every bridge while reshooting Justice League, he'd probably be in Gunn's position right now, which probably would have been a disaster.
@@allofthepoints9636 Cabin in the Woods was made before either of the avengers movies. Age of Ultron was entertaining, but apparently there was a lot of behind the scenes issues, and there was even more behind the scenes issues with Justice League, which is most likely why Whedon hasn't done much since, outside of a short lived HBO show that he got fired from.
@@brianvaira486 Well he's essentially blacklisted now because of Ray Fisher and many JL cast stories about him so yeah. He's done but Ray is also blacklisted from major companies after attacking WB so many times to the point of no return
His issues especially being a womanizer an emotional manipulator and a cheater would probably have been revealed either way and he would've still been banned from Hollywood
I don’t have doubts it’ll be bad but just because he can make a movie about a space racoon doesn’t automatically mean that his Superman movie will be good.
Gunn does seem to do amazing work with ensemble casts of unknown characters. Guardians, TSS, Peacemaker. All relatively unknown characters in a decent sized group. Superman is already very well established and doesn't have a group dynamic. I have no doubt it'll be amazing but there's no guarantee.
DC execs probably love that he made Guardians 3 as well as he did. It’s free publicity for the fact that everyone knows that he’s running the show at DC next, so you have to go there to see more of him
Honestly watching the movie it felt James wrote a script that Disney wouldn’t approve then they did so then he made a movie Disney wouldn’t approve and then they did
Strangely that's the same feeling I got from Star Wars 8. YMMV on if you liked it, but some decisions feel like the studio should have said no, but no one did.
funniest thing is that one of the biggest impact of GOTG3 for me is the excitement for James Gunn’s DC. it is a future i’m so ready for as someone who grew up mostly reading DC.
I spent the last 10 minutes of the movie crying, and not from sadness or pain, but from joy and love. James Gunn is one of the few creative in Hollywood who is unabashedly genuine and sappy, yet honest and raw. His films feel like a hug.
The final shot of the movie of (SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY) Rocket swinging his head back and crying out in uproarious joy set to Dog Days are Over hit me way harder than I ever would have expected.
My favorite part is that the alt right guy who tried to cancel James Gunn failed completely. Not only did Gunn get his job at Marvel back but because of him he also got a long lasting gig at DC.
Fr. If I were Gunn... well, I'd be too mature and professional to stoop this low. But if my mind (that of the actual immature crass me) were periodically placed into Gunn's body, I'd be suuuuper petty and publicly thank that guy after every success.
How did he go from Fun Scary Ailen Slugs and Indie Good Times to Heartfelt Comic Love that emotionally messes me up and makes me think I need therapy. I'm not ready for Superman Legacy, that movie is in honor of his late dad...God I'm gonna cry so much...
Here after the Superman trailer got released, and MAN, James Gunn is carrying DC to new heights! He knows the material and he's shutting haters' mouth really well by just dropping a silent trailer.
@Zach 1993 I wouldn't say he's interested in making it like the comics in the sense of trying to adapt characters or storylines one for one. And yet his work feels truer to the medium of comics. It embraces the eccentricities and goofiness of the marvel cosmic universe. I mean he took a concept as dumb as a living planet and committed to it a hundred percent.
@@TehZach1993 Guardians 3 has the Guardians in the costumes from the comics. And I know any other director would have had Peacemaker in a more modern outfit. And James Gunn is the one who gave us the most accurate live action Harley Quinn yet!
I had a good feeling about the reboot and now I'm even more optimistic about it. James Gunn has never really missed with his superhero projects. I just want the characters to act like themselves.
Warner Bros: "What do you think you're doing out there? How are you going to make this up to us?" James Gunn: "Would it help if I told you the whole thing is a subtle jab at and send up of Disney and that time they fired me until then wanted me back?" Warner Bros: "...Okay, you're forgiven. Welcome aboard."
I think WB should be really happy to have him as the DCU's head, he is a better character writer than he is a director(in which he was pretty good from the beginning and becoming even better everyday) The way he picked up characters in vol 3, made people remember what made them special in the first place, further developed them or put them in a place from where they would be more naturally evolved the next time we see them is quite cool, also how he developed the Guardians throughout his films
Why would they not be happy? They are far beyond ecstatic about having Gunn as the creative head. The only ones that are unhappy are the Snyderverse fans that are still clinging on the false hope that Snyder comes back and finish his JL trilogy with Darkseid killing half of the League, turning Superman evil after killing Lois Lane, the Knightmare scenario, Bruce and Lois romance, Clark and Lois being the father of Bruce Wayne’s kid, and Batman sacrificing himself. These guys arent DC fans as they wanted Zack to be the head of DC just because he was going to give them Darkseid in less than 10 films in…
If anything this movie made me excited for the DCU more than the MCU. It was Gunn's departure from the MCU, much like the Guardians, and he made it an absolute banger, to show that he's taking his amazing ideas with him lmao
"Shit, now I have to make a Green Lantern movie so I can introduce the Red Lanterns, so I can do an adaptation of Dex-Starr's backstory to meet my crying animal quota."
This superman story deals with Clark balancing out his kryptonian side and his human side, he's always fixated on being this type of god like figure that he honestly almost forgets about helping the little guy you know like saving a cat from a tree type of thing, helping homeless people, basically that. "So there's a high chance this won't have a lot of action and will just be story based?" Yup🙂 "....Will I cry?" Probably but in the end you're gonna feel happy so don't worry. "We will wait and see."
Honestly, at this point I'm just thankful that we finally have an MCU movie that people don't just shit on constantly. I still think a lot of movies in Phase 4 got way more hate than they deserved. But it's good to see such a consensus around this one. Marvel REALLY needed the win right now.
@@Chadcat180 I'm not ready for The marvels to be an average/bad movie, just to be treated by youtube critics as the absolute worst piece of shit they've ever seen because too many women on screen
@@Chadcat180 In all honesty, the trailer for Marvels doesn't look that bad. The chemistry between the leads is not awful, and while I didn't like Brie Larson in the role, I don't have the same visceral hatred for the character that a lot of right wingers do (although I'll admit she is a badly written character). But it looks considerably better than the first one. I don't expect it to be nearly as good as this movie was, but I wouldn't be totally shocked if it turned out decent.
I know this is a sketch and all, but in all honesty, Warner Bros. is probably really happy to be confirmed in betting on the right horse. The bigger the name James Gunn becomes, the better it is for whoever he's working for. In contrast, Disney's probably realizing just now that they shouldn't have let Gunn go.
I just wanna point out this little detail in GotG3 that I absolutely loved: At the start of the movie, when Rocket is talking to drunk Peter and listening to Creep, Peter calls him a raccoon and he tells Peter that he isn't a raccoon. Right after he says that, the song goes "But I'm a creep," and I just had to pause the movie to appreciate that.

"Cut back on the jokes" is literally everything everyone ever wanted.
Yeah, there were still jokes but they knew where to incorporated them
And the thing is the jokes WORKED with the Guardians because they were all very sad people who used humor to hide their pain
What i really like about Guardians, is that every character has their own kind of humor. In Love and Thunder it was just one big jumble
@@Hackleton Let's all just agree to forget love and thunder ever existed.
There's nothing wrong with jokes as long as they fit the scene. Many jokes in these movies are there to force people to laugh. Gunn knows how to make the characters interact with each other and how some situations will eventually lead those characters to do dumb funny things.

As a out of touch zoomer, what even happened with Gunn? Why was he “cancelled” lol 😭
Gunn also used that Disney money to research and develop some Superman flying stuff with the Adam Warlock sequences. Clever boy.
How did he go from Fun Scary Ailen Slugs and Indie Good Times to Heartfelt Comic Love that emotionally messes me up and makes me think I need therapy.
I'm not ready for Superman Legacy, that movie is in honor of his late dad...God I'm gonna cry so much...
I love how the executive is at the same time angry and surprised at James Gun's explanation
Here after the Superman trailer got released, and MAN, James Gunn is carrying DC to new heights! He knows the material and he's shutting haters' mouth really well by just dropping a silent trailer.
"Pull a Taika Love and Thunder"
Oh, Thank God he didn't. 😂
I cried three times in theatre
That sounds about right, yes.
James Gunn, one of the few comic movie directors that seems to like want to make it like the comics
That's not exactly true given how Peacemaker and majority of the Guardians are nothing like the comics.
@Zach 1993 I wouldn't say he's interested in making it like the comics in the sense of trying to adapt characters or storylines one for one.
And yet his work feels truer to the medium of comics. It embraces the eccentricities and goofiness of the marvel cosmic universe. I mean he took a concept as dumb as a living planet and committed to it a hundred percent.
@@TehZach1993 he upgrades them to better

>Concept dumb as a living planet<
No one bullshits on Stanislav Lem like that and lives .
@@TehZach1993 Guardians 3 has the Guardians in the costumes from the comics. And I know any other director would have had Peacemaker in a more modern outfit. And James Gunn is the one who gave us the most accurate live action Harley Quinn yet!
I had a good feeling about the reboot and now I'm even more optimistic about it.
James Gunn has never really missed with his superhero projects.
I just want the characters to act like themselves.
He's gonna end up being James Done if he doesn't put those crying raccoons in the next DC movie
It pissed off Marvel execs too. They fired him and he still delivered gold, now he won't be directing for them again.
So ?
The best comeback against jerks like that is to be nice reinforcing how much of an asshole they are
came back to say his superman trailer made me cry 😭🫡
Warner Bros: "What do you think you're doing out there? How are you going to make this up to us?"
James Gunn: "Would it help if I told you the whole thing is a subtle jab at and send up of Disney and that time they fired me until then wanted me back?"
Warner Bros: "...Okay, you're forgiven. Welcome aboard."
I think WB should be really happy to have him as the DCU's head, he is a better character writer than he is a director(in which he was pretty good from the beginning and becoming even better everyday)
The way he picked up characters in vol 3, made people remember what made them special in the first place, further developed them or put them in a place from where they would be more naturally evolved the next time we see them is quite cool, also how he developed the Guardians throughout his films
Why would they not be happy? They are far beyond ecstatic about having Gunn as the creative head.
The only ones that are unhappy are the Snyderverse fans that are still clinging on the false hope that Snyder comes back and finish his JL trilogy with Darkseid killing half of the League, turning Superman evil after killing Lois Lane, the Knightmare scenario, Bruce and Lois romance, Clark and Lois being the father of Bruce Wayne’s kid, and Batman sacrificing himself.
These guys arent DC fans as they wanted Zack to be the head of DC just because he was going to give them Darkseid in less than 10 films in…
His suicide squad is the best directed dceu film .the direction was wonderful in that movie
I feel James will make a Superman All Star moment with the father.
If you know, you know.
Coming back to this a year later after seeign the trailer. Suddenly realise Krypto ain't safe.
I thought it was just a joke but I did in fact cry 3 times watching this movie for the first time.
"I cried 3 times in that theatre"
We all can relate
What's better than a crying racoon? A flying best boi ever!
0:41 now that's the stare of a villain
Omg "phone it in like Taika in 'Love and Thunder.'" Where is the lieeeeee 😂
Guardians of the galaxy trilogy
The Suicide Squad
PeaceMaker
5 hits no misses hes on a crazy streak
James Gunn made people care about three CGI animals.
Zack Snyder killed Superman and no one cared.
Gunn is a beast he wrote peacemaker 8 eps in 8 weeks 😮
The movie was so fuckin good. It made me cry.
It’s my favorite marvel movie now
"But you didn't had to go that hard did you?"
Gunn's filmography summed up
James inadvertently did kinda save marvel with volume 3 if you ask me.
Honestly, considering how hype everyone is for Superman Legacy now, I'd say DC should be pleased at Vol. 3's success.
well the execs at WB are going ALL IN especially with reviews and emotions this high
He definitely didn’t save the franchise. But he did give the best marvel project of 2023
If anything this movie made me excited for the DCU more than the MCU. It was Gunn's departure from the MCU, much like the Guardians, and he made it an absolute banger, to show that he's taking his amazing ideas with him lmao
“i cried 3 times in that movie”
yeah, me too, buddy. me too.
Someone send James Gunn a chiropractor, he’s probably got a lot of back pain from carrying the MCU for the past few years
"Yeah you didnt have to go that hard."
One of the few times I agreed with an executive.
I like how James kicks bosses' butts with his talent. Just thought of it after this skit...
I watched the superman trailer and i did not see any crying racoons
My favorite James Gunn project is Lollipop Chainsaw. If you know you know
I love the exec’s in your videos there so hilarious!
"Shit, now I have to make a Green Lantern movie so I can introduce the Red Lanterns, so I can do an adaptation of Dex-Starr's backstory to meet my crying animal quota."
This superman story deals with Clark balancing out his kryptonian side and his human side, he's always fixated on being this type of god like figure that he honestly almost forgets about helping the little guy you know like saving a cat from a tree type of thing, helping homeless people, basically that.
"So there's a high chance this won't have a lot of action and will just be story based?"
Yup🙂
"....Will I cry?"
Probably but in the end you're gonna feel happy so don't worry.
"We will wait and see."
If anyone still had doubts about Gunn taking over DC, im pretty sure GOTG3 has evaporated those.
“Pull a Taika” lmao
Krypto the Super Dog is apparently going to be in Superman, so there is still a chance
guardians 3 was his last movie in the mcu? cus that was the best thing i've seen out of the mcu
This is the first review I've heard of Volume 3 and it has so far been the only thing in this galaxy that has made me want to watch it
That dialogue and editing are awesome, smart and funny. Great job!!!
Classic James!
That "Oh! oh..." was so genuine
I don't know when a good mcu movie will come out after this. So I'm kinda excited for DCU now
There will plenty of them !LOL
10 times the crying raccoons is a punchline I will have to work in to my own Gunn related jokes
I hope Groot is in the new superman movie. I love that wacky tree top.
"Your Superman movie better have 10 times the crying raccoons or you're finished"
Don't forget at least 2 realistic panic attacks
Haven’t seen it yet but this is the only review I need now to know I’ll enjoy it
Honestly, at this point I'm just thankful that we finally have an MCU movie that people don't just shit on constantly. I still think a lot of movies in Phase 4 got way more hate than they deserved. But it's good to see such a consensus around this one. Marvel REALLY needed the win right now.
i don't think Marvel needed anything in particular actually
@@Chadcat180 I'm not ready for The marvels to be an average/bad movie, just to be treated by youtube critics as the absolute worst piece of shit they've ever seen because too many women on screen
@@b_delta9725I can hear Mauler’s voice in my head already, I’m dying of cringe and the reactionaries haven’t even spoken yet
@@Chadcat180 In all honesty, the trailer for Marvels doesn't look that bad. The chemistry between the leads is not awful, and while I didn't like Brie Larson in the role, I don't have the same visceral hatred for the character that a lot of right wingers do (although I'll admit she is a badly written character). But it looks considerably better than the first one. I don't expect it to be nearly as good as this movie was, but I wouldn't be totally shocked if it turned out decent.
Same. Too bad the next one is the marvels. The trailer looked fun, not great but it didn't look bad. And then you look at the comments...
Thanks for sharing this!
This is totally unrealistic. Studio executives don't watch movies!
Lol
I just watched it yesterday and the lady sitting next to me legit sobbed. Those young Rocket scenes hit hard.
So the new superman teaser is out and I'm not seeing any crying raccoons😮
There was a crying weasel in creature commandos dw he's got ya covered
I cant wait for the sixteen minutes of crying raccoons in Superman
Poor James, just how much carrying does he has to endure in the future...
His back needs metal plates😂
I cried so much
So fuckin much
Over a Puppet Cyborg’s backstory,Mario & Beast Boy
I CRIED WHILE WATCHING A MARVEL MOVIE!!
I know this is a sketch and all, but in all honesty, Warner Bros. is probably really happy to be confirmed in betting on the right horse. The bigger the name James Gunn becomes, the better it is for whoever he's working for. In contrast, Disney's probably realizing just now that they shouldn't have let Gunn go.
I cry'd 5 times, a friend said 4
No1 left that theatre wit' dry eyes
I'm just hoping Secret Invasion can keep up this good impression that Marvel has on people rn , because I'm highly doubting the Marvels for that job
Marvels gonna destroy us again😢
I just wanna point out this little detail in GotG3 that I absolutely loved:
At the start of the movie, when Rocket is talking to drunk Peter and listening to Creep, Peter calls him a raccoon and he tells Peter that he isn't a raccoon. Right after he says that, the song goes "But I'm a creep," and I just had to pause the movie to appreciate that.
