Too bad.
Why? Most Marvel movies are just loud, predictable and stupid.
If you're a Disney stockholder, OTOH, your post makes sense. Those suckers do good box office.
To each, their own.
Let's be honest here. Disney's Marvel movies are the cinematic equivalent of Chuck E. Cheese’s.
Hmm, not familiar with him. Hopefully he'll actually be able to stick around until the end of production.
Sadly, it's getting to a point now where every time a director is announced for one of these big movie I can't help but wonder how long he/she/they'll last. I'm just talking about big movies in general here, not just DC.

It seems to me that, now that so many films are being done as parts of larger ongoing series, the production model is becoming more like TV, where a series has a showrunning producer and creative staff overseeing the whole thing, and the directors of individual installments are more like contractors brought in to follow the showrunners' lead. Replacing a director mid-production because they aren't meeting the producers' wishes (or are spending too much time and money or otherwise being difficult) is something that happens from time to time in episodic TV; for instance, Ralph Senensky was fired midway through directing Star Trek: "The Tholian Web" and replaced with Herb Wallerstein, and Russ Mayberry was fired partway through directing TNG: "Code of Honor."
So it's a tradeoff -- it means that directors' individual visions won't be as dominant in their own films, but it also means there will be more creative and stylistic unity across the whole series. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is a matter of individual opinion, I guess.
That doesn't apply to the DCEU though, because it has definitely been steering clear of organized showrunning so far...

That observation is about a year behind the times, because Geoff Johns has taken much firmer control over the creative direction of the movies, and we've begun to see the impact of that with Wonder Woman. Also, Joss Whedon reportedly has a strong hand in the development of future movies.
98.65% sure he was sarcastic!

Still trying to get everyone to believe - even through humor - that the DCEU is inferior to the MCU. Neither is inferior to the other. And neither is superior to the other. It's all subjective. Sigh. When will people realize this?
I'm 98,65% sure I don't have a penis.
Me? Well this is new considering there's people here thinking I'm a paid DCEU plant
Anyway, who said anything about inferior/superior? It's just different.
I think it's fairly well known that MCU has a "showrunner" in Kevin Feige, and DCEU had no such figure. I'm not sure even Geoff John's recent elevated position would fit that bill, he seems to be more focused on an advisory rather than leadery role.
Like Poison Ivy?
Slightly more evil.
So what? It doesn't mean a thing. We don't really know how Geoff Johns will turn out as showrunner for the DCEU. As for Kevin Feige, we don't know how long he will maintain his luck.
This doesn't change the fact that there are fans of the DCEU, the MCU or both franchises. I'm a fan of both, but I haven't been happy with the MCU for the past two years. But I think this will change with the upcoming Thor and Black Panther films. I've been more than happy with the four DCEU movies released so far. But I'm quite certain that sooner or later I will encounter a movie within that franchise that I will find disappointing. It's just a matter of time.
I don't care how organized or disorganized these franchises are. When it comes down to it, the opinions on these films are subjective, whether they come from moviegoers or film critics. Why do people STILL want to believe that their personal opinion of a particular film or film franchise is a fact?
How is someone talkong about Feige being a showrunner and Johns being a showrunner personal opinion? You seem to be steering things back to your predictable way of letting people know you love these movies (which is fine) but with no real connection no what you're commenting on other than to point out again that you're angry that people still don't agree with your love of these movies.
I mean. I can admit to loving Burger King. But I can also admit it's not the greatest food out there.

Oh . . . my . . . God. Really? Oh my God. I don't know if you're serious about what you had just posted or you're simply bullshitting me. Let me remind you of a previous post:

Gee, the above comment seemed like a criticism of Geoff Johns . . . and a personal opinion. Then I had responded:
We don't really know how Geoff Johns will turn out as showrunner for the DCEU. As for Kevin Feige, we don't know how long he will maintain his luck.
What exactly did you think I was trying to say? Are you disturbed that I won't automatically accept some opinion that the MCU is superior to the DCEU? If not, okay. If so . . . why?
