The Failure of the DC Extended Universe

For years geeks have loved seeing their favorite comic book superheroes on the big screen. Batman has consistently done well. With the success of the Dark Knight trilogy and even Man of Steel, fans of DC began thinking that maybe they could have an extended universe as good or perhaps better than the MCU. Unfortunately, this seems not to be the case. The DC extended universe has consistently done poorly with the exception of Wonder Woman and Man of Steel.

Most don’t claim the movies as truly terrible, each one lacked some a special element and consistency throughout. In fact, so far only Wonder Woman seems to have the pizazz that the others are consistently missing. Although DC chose a different style than Marvel for their cinematic universe, that’s not the reason for the poor performance of DC movies. So why? Why do DC moves perform so poorly besides a few exceptions?

The short answer is greed and apathy. DC is owned by Warner Brothers, and Warner Brother execs seem to simply push for more movies regardless of quality. DC should build something slowly that fans will love and have everything connected and make sense like in the MCU. Instead, DC has a disjointed universe where the actors are changed on a regular basis and the stories aren’t very well fleshed out. TO make matters worse the producers don’t seem to understand the comic fans at all.  They simply look at the success of the MCU and think that its because they’re comics. So they try to cobble something together and hope that it does well rather than taking the time and planning the universe out so that everything makes sense.

DC is slowing turning fans away from their movies by simple apathy and laziness. One can only hope that They realize what needs to be done, then wipe the slate clean and restart their whole universe. And this time take the time to make sure that their casting and plan is perfect.

At over 11.5 million copies sold, Gran Turismo 4 is not only one of the most popular PS2 games, but also one of the most recognizable. It took fans nearly 20 years, but they eventually uncovered a trove of hidden cheat codes in the game.

The secret button combinations allow you to instantly earn 10,000,000 Credits, automatically pass License Tests, and much more. They were originally posted by Nenkai on Twitter, but were later shared on the ResetEra message boards. The catch? It will take at least 365 game days for them to activate.

  • 10,000,000 Credits: Select, Left, Right, Right, Down, Up, Up, Left, Down, Up, Right, Left, Down, L1, R1, Select

Dead Cells’ Return to Castlevania expansion, which came out a few weeks ago and is really good, is a great way to relive your childhood and enjoy a nostalgic distraction. A native PS5 physical release of the game is in the works, and it looks like we’ll be getting a bundle with both versions of the game.

Gematsu found a listing for “Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania Edition” on the ESRB website. It was rated T for Teen, which suggests that an announcement is coming soon.

After its initial 2018 release on PS4 to widespread acclaim, Dead Cells has received a steady stream of updates, and we think a bundled SKU including DualSense support and all the other PS5 bells and whistles would be awesome. What do you think of Return to Castlevania if you’ve been playing it?

Techland, the company that made the game, says that the changes coming to the combat system will be “significant” and will make the already “brutal” combat even worse.A transmogrification system is also being added, which will give players more control over how their avatars look without sacrificing gameplay depth, which is always important.
How do you feel about these unexpected improvements for Dying Light 2?
