    why is every ezra miller story somehow wilder and more ridiculous than the last? i thought the one about them refusing to stop blasting cigs in that lady's house was funny but the one about the baby around bullets was just surreal

      Ezra Miller is the scion of a major Sci-Fi books publisher -Hyperion - who is worth 10's of millions at least.

      He failed upwards so hard he reached orbit. His daddy pulled strings you didn't even know existed.

      Creatures like Ezra exist in a world of unlimited privileges paired with zero consequences.

    Ezra Miller isn't even a convincing flash just hire fucking Grant Gustin for reshoots and call it a day

      Lmao,..I'm seriously not even on team Grant Gustin...but this is unironically the best idea I've heard how to deal with this. There were talks of recasting with Eliot Page but man...this is so obvious.

        Yeah. I'd be the first to call the CW Flash one of the worst iterations of the hero but at least Gustin A.) knows the character and B.) doesn't play Barry Allen/Flash like they're in Perks of a Wallflower

          The problem with that show definitely wasn't the actors. The acting, maybe, but considering everyone acted that way it's probably a director's call.

            I haven't watched that show since like season 1 so what I'm about to say might not be relevant anymore I admit:

            Grant Gustin strikes me as a charismatic young actor who just isn't quite ready for prime time yet. It's hard to explain or quantify but like...there's just a certain threshold of experience or sheer natural charisma you need to successfully make the jump from TV lead to film lead. It's the difference between someone like Tom Holland and Taylor Kitsch. The rolled out the later a little before he was ready and he really tanked his career as a result.

            Gustin has something...but the last I saw him he just wasn't there yet and I suspect 8 additional seasons of the flash probably weren't what he needed to get there.

              I've seen him act in other things(Glee). I'm not saying his on screen presence is top tier, but I think he could pull it off for one movie with a character he is deeply familiar with. Also, a broom handle could out act Ezra miller's flash, Gustin has this in the bag is he shows up visibly drunk.

                Oh for sure that's why I said up top this is unironically the best idea to handle the situation even though I'm not on the Grant Gustin fan train. Recasting with him in the lead following some weird multiverse/flashpoint explanation for the recasting choice would simultaneously address the criticism of Miller while also adding some good will and fan good will. He may not be ready for prime time yet...but he can probably phone in a better flash than miller at this point especially.

          Oh. I thought they had just given up on having a connected universe and were just going to do the individual franchises.

      It hasn't been fully replaced yet, given stuff like peacemaker is still recent (I think). They might be doing both at the same time, which is a risky move that won't pay off.

        Hogs will still eat the slop. Even the "failed" current franchise is racking in billions. Its just not racking in as much as Marvel did at the peak.

          Which is exactly what they want and they're so pissed they can't do it. Making comic book movies these days should be pretty easy, the technology and community is there. But they keep making just the weirdest choices and going for three pointers when an easy layup is available. It's a failure in their eyes, look at how quickly they canceled Batgirl. They could have at least made their money back, but they were so pissed they just threw it out. Yeah they'll still make a fortune and never see real consequences for their bad decisions, but they keep fumbling and I am going to keep laughing.

      Kevin Sorbo still gets to be in movies.

      Which proves there is no god.

      When you tell him this, he blocks you on twitter.

      When everything's a blockbuster, nothing is.

      Besides, it isn't as though b-tier shit doesn't exist. Its just all on streaming services now. Netflix, HBO, Hulu, and the rest are overflowing with low budget romantic comedies and cop dramas.

        I just want everything to be a tv show split into chapters.

        Just make everything be The Bear

          That'd be better than the trend of 2.5-3 hour movies.

    How about they recast with Darby Allen, then they also cast Sting, then they drop all the Flash storyline and make origin story capeshit about a skinny skateboarder with a deathwish and a 60 year old man who dresses like The Crow and still jumps off balconies
