Infinity War trailer and butthurt DC fans...

Disney dropped a cosmic bomb. Yes, I'm talking about the Infinity war trailer.

Of course, the DC fanboys had to attack Marvel/Disney to defend WB/DC. They mocked Thanos, who looks bad without his full regalia, by comparing him to Grimace. Yes, Thanos looks odd... Not Henry Cavill's digital mouth to cover his mustache bad, but it's a bit bad. Not only that, but they're also blaming WB for "ruining" Justice League in order for the higher ups to get some juicy bonuses.

All of these years 2008-2018 have been leading to this confrontation with Thanos. We've had great movies, decent movies, so-so movies, bad movies, and Iron Man 3 in the MCU that have put a chip in the pot leading to Infinity war. The fractured Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Sorcerer Supreme, and even the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man have led to this end-all free-for-all huge cinematic event.
There was a short-term plan and a long-term one.

WB had none of that. Nolan had a self-contained Batman Trilogy that wouldn't work with super powered beings in that world. Green Lantern was self-contained (and in a way, a good thing, since that was a train-wreck) Superman returns left a bad aftertaste in people's mouth, which scared WB from "continuing" from past movie universes (ie, the Burton/Schumacher  batverse) taking a page from Nolan's Batman, they went for a "realistic" Superman and we got Man of Stool. Using this Brooding Superman that lacked the humanity that makes Superman, well, Super, was WB's foundation to their Cinematic Universe. Then they went with Batman v. Superman as their next step in this Cinematic. Had it been truly a movie with Batman being the antagonist until it was revealed that Luthor was pulling BOTH Batman and Superman's strings, then maybe it would've been better than setting up Superman to die without the League. Maybe an extra Superman movie where Superman deals with Braniac, who was Lex's source of knowledge on how to set up Bats v. Supes and having the knowledge of other metahumans (and setting up WW, Flash, Aquaman or a Lantern movie.) Have Zod attempt to enslave the Earth by using the Starro could force some Metas to unite with Batman and Superman to form the JL.
Then have Superman die on the third Superman movie and the League deals with the aftermath of his death in JL2  with the final JL movie dealing with Darkseid himself. Have the League, the Titans (one of Batman's proteges *cough*Dick*cough* started his own team after the Starro invasion as a contingency plan, cause he was trained by Batman) new members to the league, like GA, Atom, Martian Manhunted, Supergirl, Red Robin etc.

And yes, I'm aware it kinda sounds similar to what Marvel did, but let's face it: Marvel had a plan that was long term. DC only was interested in that Avengers money. That excitement that Marvel fans are feeling of a story 10 years in the making, cannot be replicated in barely four. DC Flash fried what should've been a slowly roasted hunk of succulent beef.

In any case, Infinity war feels like it could be Return of the King in steroids. I just wish DC hadn't rushed to make the movies... But still, we're getting the ultimate Marvel superhero smackdown and we got a decent Justice League movie. What a time we live on... Now if Todd McFarlane's Spawn ever makes a comeback...
