“Don’t Listen to Trolls”: Despite Recording Lower Numbers Than Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam, James Gunn’s ‘Greatest Superhero Film’ Garners Huge Support on Social Media

One of the biggest disappointments of the last year was the Dwayne Johnson starrer, Black Adam. In production for nearly 5 years, the superhero movie was one that was near and dear to The Rock as well. While people appreciated Johnson’s work in it, the movie wasn’t a box office success.

This led WB to change a lot of plans moving forward as they were hoping that The Rock would rake in a massive success for them. At the moment, they have another movie out and fans can’t wait but compare its recent box office numbers to Johnson’s Black Adam last year. Interestingly, this was also the movie that the new head of creative at DC, James Gunn termed as the ‘greatest superhero movie’ as well.

Controversies and speculations around James Gunn’s ‘greatest superhero movie’

Before its release, there were many rumors and controversies surrounding The Flash. From reports about the main lead, Ezra Miller, to troubles on set, this movie was plagued from the start. 

But still, James Gunn, Peter Safran, and other people helped recover the charm of the movie and get audiences ready for the release. But it looks like their efforts amounted to a very minimal boost as the movie’s opening box office numbers are here. 

Expected to amass somewhere around $54-56 million dollars worldwide, it will make $10 million less than Black Adam’s opening box office weekend, which was considered a flop opening as well.

On Twitter, fans are free to speak their mind, and box office numbers aren’t going to stop them from supporting a movie that hasn’t done well financially. But to add fuel to the fire, these fans are also dragging Johnson’s Black Adam into it.

This fan talked about how the movie brought back feelings for him and his father while watching the movie.

After reading the news, this fan commented about the quality of the two movies.

Giving The Flash, a 9/10, this fan thinks it is a must-watch, despite whatever the internet is saying.

This fan says that The Flash is ‘way better’ than last year’s Black Adam.
