Gunn is just a better more competent filmmaker, even out side of superhero stuff, his movies that aren’t adaptions of stuff, feel and are far more creative and interesting than what the Russos put out. Nothing against them there stuff just has a lot less personality.

Gunn clears by sheer variety. All the russos have are a cap movie and then basically 3 avengers films. Gunn has made arguably the best CBM trilogy and one of the best trilogies in film history period, then went and did an incredibly faithful R rated DC movie that is to this day one of the best CBMs this decade so far, then made A SHOW that ended up being of the best CBM shows ever made and followed up with a solo movie based on a huge titular character and landed it. There’s really no debate I’m sorry.

ALL WHILE BOTH WRITING AND DIRECTING

​@dex2352name one film other than supergirl, that is bombed that james gunn has worked on. By the way, James Gunn only stepped in last minute on supergirl because the test audiences didn't like it. He had barely any interaction with how the movie came out in the end.

Disagree. Infinity War and Endgame work as the payoff to Marvel Studios' work leading up to it. They do not work as standalone movies. James Gunn has made the best trilogy in the MCU with the Guardians of The Galaxy & has committed to having every project in the DCU be standalone. Sorry guys but James Gunn easily clears the Russos' best

​@michaelsalmon1734 And that's great, just treat the movie like a new comic book run. Nolan's Batman is just an interpretation of Batman, his version. But those are comic book movies with comiv book characters. Putting them in a different bucket like action movie is just weird especially if you know there is no comic book movie that can be 100% faithful to their source material.

I've already got Gunn ahead of the Russos because the Russos don't write their own films. A lot of what makes Infinity War, Endgame, Winter Soldier and Civil War the movies they are is the writing of Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeeley. So, what you're really saying when you say the Russos are better is that the Russos plus Markus and McFeeley are better than James Gunn by himself.

Hot take. Russos are far from the best. They benefited from stepping into a pre established universe and being given the most toys to play with. They even got to play with Gunn’s toys. They never had to build something from the ground up. Forget cinematic universes for a moment. The Suicide Squad is a better film than most anything the Russos have done.

@liongear2867 I love both Guardians and The Suicide Squad but I prefer The Suicide Squad.

It has such a solid plot with great emotional beats like Peacemaker’s betrayal and Ratcatcher 2 defeating Starro. The film also has such a strong personality with its editing and visuals.

Guardians is a great movie but has a weak villain and its plot can be kind of busy.

​@liongear2867 Guardians 2 is like a less balanced version of Guardians 1. In my opinion, it has higher highs, but also lower lows than the first Guardians. 2 has stronger emotional moments, pretty much all of the characters are deeper and better written than they are in 1 (the scene where Yonduu sees right through Rockets facade and confronts him is a top 10 scene in the MCU for me, and does a ton of leg work setting up the revelations we get about Rockets character in 3). 2 also has a significantly more entertaining villain than 1. Meanwhile 1 has a more tight plot, better pacing, and is generally funnier than 2. The humor is probably 2's biggest problem; it still has some good jokes but alot of them dont land, and the film definitely has a bad tendency to undercut serious moments with jokes in a way that doesn't work, which isn't something 1 is guilty of. I just don't mind as much because 2 does the serious moments better than 1 did, and I care more about that than I do about the funny moments.

While I agree that the Russo brothers have no trackrecord outside thw estabelished MCU... to me it seeems you HEAVILY downplaying the difficulty of pulling off something like Infinity War and Endgame, especially Infinity War.

You say "most toys", I say "most moving parts and stuff that could go sideways".
Infinity War was insanely ambitions and the Russo brothers did a phenomenal job. Nothing James Gun has done touches that level of logistics, which is ehy I have to agree with them. We need to see how Gun does with a bigger more ambitious project with a lot more moving parts and how he blends it all together.
👍 02026/09/28
@brunolopes2205
@brunolopes2205YouTube
The problem is that to make something like Infinity War great.... its a level od difficulty and takes a level of writting logistics that James Gun didnt deal with with any of his movies.

You are arguing variety but Infinity War was miles more ambitious and harder to pull off than anyhting Gun has done.

@brunolopes2205
@brunolopes2205YouTube
Lots of movies have dozens of characters... the key is the focus. Its much easier to produce a movie with a single point of focus.

Infinity War didnt. All the moving parts were equally relevant and there were a lot morw of them. Much more ambitious and logistically harder

@HaveabananaProductions
@HaveabananaProductionsYouTube
@brunolopes2205yes, but the fact that he manges to juggle these stories with so many characters already, tells me gunn can and will pull off those big event movies (assuming the studio survives this stupid warner merger). I dont mean to discredit the russos AT ALL either they have absolutely got the sauce for these spectacle films and do a great job at respecting their characters and audience. For me personally though, its not just gunn’s character variety but also the style choices from camera motion to music to writing. Either way im extremely hype for doomsday and cannot wait for man of tomorrow

The Suicide Squad (2021) and GotG Volume 3 are both top 5 comic book movies in my eyes ngl. But so are Infinity War and Civil War. I'd say the Russos and Gunn are evenly matched at this point in time. The next 2 years are going to be super important in seeing who's better definitively

I agree, however, I'd also argue that we can't just get thrown into a Justice League level movie. The MCU had three phases worth of movies to build the universe and get us emotionally invested in the characters, which meant by the time we got Infinity war in endgame, the stakes felt real. Gunn has to do something similar in order for the DCU to stand up to Marvel

​@YaakovLoboI haven't watched Superman but I imagine at best it's Winter Soldier level. Winter Soldier is a fun movie but the characters and world building isnt even close to the first Guardians movie.

The suicide squad is his best comic book film.
Guardians 1 is his most influential movie(most space related superhero movie since then have kinda modelled themselves in some way after it)

I'd say guardians 1 is better than superman, the thing is everything gunn does after guardians 1 is used as comparison cuz gunn does everything he already did in guardians but in guardians it was better

Everyone down here has a different example of thier clear best James Gunn movie and that’s how you know he’s the goat. Like GOTG 1 was the clear best one for most people, but now it’s 1,3, TSS, Superman and I feel like people sleep on Super even if it isn’t superhero movie per se

I'm sorry James Gunn has always been above the Russo Brothers just based off of the Guardians trilogy. He is clearly the better film maker and has a more distinct style. Almost every bland grey contrast-less film with a massive budget and yet randomly shoddy film making can be traced back to the Russo brothers and their MCU movies.

MCU movies look too bland? Well take one look at Winter Solider and Civil War two films that pioneered that generic blockbuster look.
Not saying I hate their films btw their MCU movies are undoubtedly some of the best in the franchise Winter Soldier is probably the best solo MCU film but as film makers they don't compare to Gunn in my opinion. Infinity war and Endgame are very impressive films especially how they balanced so many characters but man the writing in the guardians trilogy is beautiful. I cried for a cgi raccoon 💔

And I'm not even talking about projects outside the MCU because in that department Gunn absolutely DEMOLISHES the russos.

Box office success is an indication of how good a movie is, but it's also not the full picture. Superman 2025 is the superior adaptation.

I personally don’t like … I don’t know how to explain this. I’m an aspiring director and directors is something I look up to and directors usually have a style and some kind of common thread with their movies or you know movies gonna be different when it’s directed by one person versus another. I don’t see any of that with the Russillo. They’re good movies but they’re just superhero movies and like I don’t see any style in them . James gone has a style, but I fear he’s gone so far from it. I think he needs to go back to making regular movies or movies about a superhero. That’s not very popular where you can just make a standalone story for that person and they just feel like a fun edgy cool thing

It’s not really fair because if James Gunn directed end game or infinity war I think they would be better or the same. Like whoever directed those movies were going to get glory, they are filled with great characters and scenes etc etc
