Exactly. At the end of the day, the DCEU needs to stop trying to preempt Marvel. The only reason they killed Superman was because they figured Cap or Tony was going to die in Civil War, and by damn they weren't going to be in second place to kill a major character. Then everyone survived Civil War and the DCEU ended up with a needlessly dead Superman. Now they want to rush to Infinity Way-level series finale with Darkseid, but they've done absolutely none of the groundwork to earn it, unlike Marvel, which is ending a decade-lone saga next year. Yeah, sure, they were the first to kill a major character, but no one cared because no one can like this Superman. Sure, they might get to Darkseid first, but no one cares because he's not been built up as a threat yet. The problem with the dead superman was that it didn't accomplish anything. Exactly. He was never a pillar of hope in the DCEU films. He was never the Boy Scout in Blue. He was never the smiling savior of humanity who got kittens out of trees for children. He was never on good terms with the public at all. He was a frowning, glowering "god" that most people seemed to hate just for being. And his death happened in a fight most weren't able to see, and yet that somehow inspires them to change their minds about him?
