I'm actually dead serious.
The "multiverse" is just a term to get you to buy into the fact that they are too lazy to maintain continuity. It's an excuse. They don't give a shit about making an effort to creatively build on a single continuity, so they give up, do their own then, and then tell you they have "creative freedom" and it's a "multiverse", when the fact of the matter is they just aren't making an effort.
it's not about continuity but about creative freedom and artistic interpretation. It is pretty simple to keep continuity with only 4 DCEU movies, so that argument is moot. Reeves probably wants to establish his own design, look and tone and create the big bang for a seperate Bat family universe (which was planned since decades btw).
Now if their take on this is artistically different, sound and interesting I am more than intrigued.
But look, I do not expect you to understand this approach, you are hooked to an monoverse approach that saw the same arcs and formula repeated ad nauseam with 16+ movies and did not progress any main storyline except a few takes on the main villain grinning in post credit scenes. You just love that. I really don't. So in the end it's about individual taste.
I liked that monoverse approach in the Star Trek shows btw (IMO ST is by far the biggest shared universe, now multiverse), but it got really stale with time too.
I can tell it's not about continuity. They gave up on that and are trying to sell you on the idea that it's creative freedom, when it's just plain giving up.
"did not progress any main storyline"? Oh really. So cap and iron man's characters haven't evolved and reversed?
It's not about individual taste, it's about the clear fact, which you just stated, that they plain and simple aren't interested in making the effort maintain continuity.
