Machete Order gets my vote.
And they numbered most of them! It's like people confused about the Matrix when it's color-coded.
Well I just got a ticket for avatar. It was $15..! (That's with a 11am "matinee discount and no seat fee) can't imagine a family of 4 plus snacks.
My problem with MCU is you almost Have to watch everything that's run in theatre and now TV to get what's happening. And some of there stuff I have no interest in watching. But I have to if I want to keep up.

Hey, that billion dollars isn't going to just generate itself!
I have a relative who works for Warner Bros. I was surprised to hear from her that a lot of people were upset that Cavill had been dumped as Superman.
Well, good-bye DCEU. You started out on a high note for me, but eventually ended with a belly flop. I might as well say good-bye to the MCU as well. That franchise has been in a slow death throe for me in the past six years.

By effectively confirming a from-scratch reset, though, Warner Bros. Discovery has removed any actual Impetus for anyone, general audiences or hardcore fans of the MoS SCU, to go see the vast majority of their upcoming slate and contribute to the box office numbers thereof because, despite being desperate to make profit, they've essentially banished four movies to the proverbial 'discount bin' because they're already planning to move on from the MoS SCU regardless of how well the remaining films in it do at the box office.
Cool. Guess I'll watch them alone.
The general audience isn't going to care. The general audience goes to watch a movie because it looks enjoyable, not because they think it's going to spawn a bunch of spinoffs and sequels.
"I'm going to catch the Flash. Those were some wicked SFX in the trailer."
"You sure you want to do that? There's no sequel planned."
"....Okay?"

No.
And it's not only the "general audience." I consider myself just about as fanboy geek as they come, but the idea that I would have no interest in a movie because it's not going to have a sequel or be part of a larger universe is frankly bizarre. I might be disappointed that a series or franchise I like won't continue, but why would I deprive myself of the enjoyment of what does exist for the sake of what won't?
Don't be. It's Hollywood. Nothing last forever. He had to think about other options outside Superman too.
Plan B:
Cavill is already moving on as Executive producer and main star for Amazon's Warhammer 40k series.
Henry Cavill to Star in Warhammer 40K Series for Amazon
Do not expect:

...to be understood (without insults). Studios create franchise films with continuity for a reason, and that reason is not to have four movies on the slate that actively involve a continuity--with the original intent to continue said continuity coming to an abrupt end. Its absurd to think the audiences who were invested in the MoS continuity are just willing to see that abrupt end and skip on over to a re-imagined series. What I find hypocritical is in the behavior of some who follow another franchise--where around 60% of each entry being Easter eggs / plot points for the next film/streaming series--criticize the idea of audiences wanting to follow a continuing storyline from one film to another.
I see the future of DC films falling along the divisive lines of JJ-Trek, where throngs of fans flat-out reject the films as something dropped into the world as the New Thing, and prefer the TV ("prime") continuity, instead of seeing Star Trek as some sci-fi smorgasbord.
Yeah, MCU brought that to the masses in a big way. How much they care will vary, but the average Joe is aware that this is a thing that exists and to expect. Especially if they’re not sure who goes in what universe. I’m sure they expect that it’s part of something bigger since connected universes are all the rage now.
You'll get no argument from me on that. I really liked Cavill in the role. With the recast, since that's what we're getting, I want to see a film based on Grant Morrison's New 52 run -- ironically, the Luthor that seemed to have been inspired by a younger Jesse Eisenberg.
All this "the rest of the movies of the current continuity don't matter" is so ridiculous. Why does it have to connect to something to be worth seeing in its own right?
Okay on the one hand, no disrespect to Cavill but screw Games Workshop and their uber-grimdark 40K. But mostly GW themselves.
On the other hand I hope it succeeds because maybe Amazon or somebody else would want to throw piles of cash at somebody to make a Battletech/Mechwarrior series which... I would pay good money for.

So yeah. I mean we're talking about it right now but it seems to be on other peoples minds.

It's sad that people want some "hook/incentive" to go see these movies. Seriously "What's the point?" How about just enjoying it for what it is?

That's my question. Did people stop enjoying things?
I’m going to see Shazam 2 because the first one was really good and the kids and I are looking forward to it.
I’m going to see The Flash for many reasons. Primarily because when he was younger, the Gustin Flash was my son’s favourite show and he’s been looking forward to it since I told him the movie was announced 5,000 years ago. Also, Keaton.
We’re probably going to go see Blue Beetle because it’s got Miguel from Cobra Kai in it. And son loves Cobra Kai and superheroes.
Aquaman 1 sent me to sleep. Will probably skip the sequel.

I fell asleep during Aquaman too! That was more because I had just driven from northern BC to Seattle though, so I blamed me. Remember that Keaton is not in The Flash any longer.
The only DC movies I've seen in the theatre are Mos, BvS, Wonder Woman and Aquaman. Some I've missed because I just couldn't get there and my family prefers Marvel movies. And some I'm glad I didn't pay the money to see like Justice League and both Suicide Squads. One, I wish I'd seen was The Batman. I also really enjoyed Birds of Prey and ZS's Justice League. The rest I thought were fine, but they didn't really inspire me to pay to see any follow ups. Black Adam is on deck for me this weekend and I'm looking forward to it.

Keaton's still in The Flash. He and Affleck are a big part of it. It's Aquaman 2 he's been cut from.
Really? Maybe I'll go see it and treat it as a "What if..." episode, which is what it's kind of become.
