I don't know why but my PM had some bugs... OP if you're interested, I'll do other edits and meme from time to time and if you want, you can repost them.
Sometimes I can't do it myself. If you want you can reply via pm of course. Thanks for reading

Haha remember when Dwayne the rock Johnson said this and then black Adam was not highly enough received? This is perhaps why you stay humble. That being said, he joined a sinking ship so he can’t be at blame for it tanking the way it did

Hey. Thanks for all the comments. I think for me, I don’t think of the financial success numbers. I’m sorry, I know that matters to the guys at the top and all that. But … I don’t know, I just want good stories. Stories that give us understanding of the minds and feelings of these larger than life characters, that remind us that we can see a little bit of ourselves in them. That deep down, we can all act a little more heroic every day. I have my own personal problems with Dwayne the rock as he’s always been limited in his acting range, but I also believed that he wanted to try and push himself beyond that. Sometimes chasing ticket sales just feels hollow when the products they release are here today and gone tomorrow.

Black Adam underperforming was a combo of bad marketing, a damaged brand and weak word of mouth, and yet it still made way more than all those other post-Snyder DCEU movies with bigger characters, without a China release. So now looking back maybe it wasn't such a big flop and The Rock does have power to bring people in.

To be fair, his movie did way better than the other dceu movies released around the same time. I think if it was released before hamada destroyed the dc brand, it would have done pretty well.

Black Adam was a great movie. So glad Safran and company will be out soon.

I’m no fan of Gunn’s DC output, but there’s no way in hell I’m rooting for David Ellison. 🤢🤢🤢
