The whole... "well they couldn't just trash it for tax purposes they need to try and make some money off of it" ... really blew up in their face huh?
They've been trying to do a Flash movie since the 80's... and this is what they put out...
a movie that was plagued with backstage drama and a lead actor who committed multiple bizare headline making crimes... rushed cameos cause they had no faith in the actual story... really dodgy cgi for a movie that was going to live or die on that... being based on Flashpoint itself which is not a particularly fondly remembered story... AND is completely unearned.... AND makes itself redundant by the end...
I also don't understand DC's obsession with the flashpoint story. The first movie about this character should not be ****ing flashpoint..flashpoint is dark and dire with no hope which means for that to impact at all you need the world to be bright and happy beforehand. Having flashpoint literally follow the Snyder movies does nothing because dark and dire is his entire universe.
It was an utterly stupid plan from day 1.
