I like BvS more than most post-Nolan superhero movies. Got depth.
Suicide Squad is a mixed bag, could have been better. Especially with a genuin movie soundtrack without those annoying licensed pop songs blaring. They just had to imitate those Guardians movies.

Who am I...? I have more Oscars than the entire MCU?
I am Suicide Squad. Send Black Panther my artificially un-boosted regards If you're gonna start using "Best Costume/Make-up" as an an argument for quality of the film rather than the actual story and script, etc.., then it's a no wonder you have a shit taste in film. He must love Norbit.

If BvS and SS were so widely loved by the audiences, why is WB doing their best to do damage control? Reformatting the tone of their movies to make it more similar to MCU movies instead of BvS and SS? Who said they were doing damage control? They did a sequel to BvS, which was Justice League (and you never know, there may be a Snyder Cut some day), and there will be a sequel to Suicide Squad. There are even spinoffs to both films in Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman '84, Aquaman, and Birds of Prey. None of this would have happened if those two films were not successful. We would be back to watching Superman and Batman solo films again if they had been. Didn't they start on Justice League like right after BvS? Weren't they trying to get rid of Snyder, but was too late, and finally found an excuse while he was making Justice League?

WTF are you talking about? You said that ^^ those trailers were crap, but the truth of the matter is that lots of people are on record as saying they were great. You have no credibility. Justice league had the worst trailers I have ever seen.

And those films went on to have successful box offices... one of them winning an Oscar. Yes, I remember. And yet people don't hold no Oscar wins against Stanley Kubrick. Strange. Correct me if I am wrong, but Kubric won an Oscar for Special Visual Affects for his film, "2001: A Space Odyssey" back in 1969, right?

But don't even fall for this uninformed nonsense. Kubrick was a person, not a movie. Whether he or anybody else won Oscars is completely irrelevant.
Suicide Squad won. More than 20+ MCU films put together. That's a fact. That hurts.

In fact, Warner Brothers mentioned Justice League several times in their 2017 Form 10-K statement. I don't think they would have mentioned it among films like Kong: Skull Island, Wonder Woman and The Lego Batman Movie if it was a flop (note that Warner Brothers produced 18 films that year and only 6 were mentioned). You are going by what a small population of critics and hack news outfits are saying. The truth of the matter is that the published production budget for the film was $300 million, and it took in $657 million, of which it only had to make $550 million to break even. It may not have made as much as the other films in the Man of Steel Trilogy, cut it certainly didn't flop.

Hahaha. Give it up, dude. The movie was a colossal failure. Go waste someone else's time with this shit.

If it actually hurt you probably wouldn't feel the need to point it out.

But why would someone pretend not to be a fan of something so successful? As opposed to, say, something as embarrassingly awful as DC films?

Maybe you should talk to NickoNose about it. You can bleat "Meeeh, moooar Marvel" together in the closet.
