Retcon and Canon B**llsh*it of James Gunn’s DCU

I think the one thing haters and fans of the DCU can all agree on is that it’s hard to keep up with what is canon – and we’re just 3 projects in.

Many have argued that a full reboot of the DCEU would have better solved these issues, but if you were James Gunn, would you reboot your projects, especially when they are the most loved by the audience? The thought of the question would open another can of worms.

Hired in October 2022, James Gunn and Peter Safran were tasked with ushering in a new era of thriving and coherent DC content. Coming from the mess of the Snyderverse, the Gunnverse came with its own mess… “the not-so-reboot, reboot”.

James Gunn has been on a “tour” trying to explain the DC universe to new and old fans, but that is not enough, as I ask myself in the middle of the night… why not do a full reboot?

The new logic is similar to the logic used in comics. You see, in comics, the writer for the continuity of a project changes hands often, and most times the new writers dislike or forget the old logic, so what they do instead is create a new narrative and gaslight the audience into thinking that what’s always happened. You can take comic events like Jon Kent (Superman’s son) becoming 17 and 10 multiple times with no explanation, or switching from New 52 to Rebirth without explanation.

This, of course, has been discussed by studio execs but hasn’t really been tested on this scale. James Gunn is pushing the boundary and changing how we view superhero media. Take Superman, for example; it is a full-blown comic book movie, and now in Peacemaker, it uses comic book logic to explain to fans that this is a new universe.

The DCU maintains some of the actors and storylines of the DCEU, and this builds a new narrative for this DC Universe. The cast and characters of the DCEU Peacemaker season 1 return for season 2, which is set in the DCU. This caused a bit of a problem amongst the general audience: “Are Suicide Squad, The Suicide Squad, and Peacemaker now canon?” No and yes.

At the beginning of Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 1, we got “previously in the DCU,” an explanation on all thing DCU and what carries over into this new universe. We saw some details change, which include the inclusion of the Justic Gang at the butterfly battle ground on the farm and the green lantern joke. Why not reshoot theses scences? James Gunn explained to TV Insider, “unfortunately I’d have to change too many little things throughout Season 1, and it would cost too much money.” 

The beauty of this new DCU is you can always skip a project but if you choose to follow all, note that it becomes canon if and only if it is mentioned in this new project.

Did James Gunn’s Superman Deliver On Its Promise?

Calling Superman nostalgic will be a hyperbole, but it is. James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ takes me back to the days when I woke up at 3 in the morning to watch cartoons without my parents’ knowledge (I’m pretty sure my mum was aware), the days when everything seemed bright in the world, and the days that made me fall in love with superheroes and comics. 

James Gunn’s Superman is meant to remind us of why we fell in love with the character and comics as a whole, but did it achieve its job?

In the plethora of points made by the ever-divided fandom of DC, a standout point of argument is that “Man of Steel” is too dark. For the general audience, this means nothing; movies are movies. Why should a parent who has worked all month take their precious money to see this movie? 

The creatives and execs at the time of DCEU left a big dent in the DC brand, and with James Gunn steering the ship, will everything be bright and beautiful? Can this DCU rival the already falling MCU? Time will tell.

Movie Overview

Superman follows Clark Kent/Superman, who must reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing while saving the world from a self-centered billionaire with a saviour complex, determined to destroy him both emotionally and literally.

While the movie has a nod to today’s world, I will argue that this is a classic case of life imitating art. From tone to action and dialogue, this is a movie that raises the question, “What does being good in today’s world look like?”

The Positives

Think of the first time you opened a comic book, or the first animation you watched as a kid… In rare cases, your introduction to that world is an origin story. James Gunn has said this on multiple occasions: this is not an origin story; expect to be dropped right in the middle. 

The concerns of many, rightfully so, will be the amount of jokes in this movie and to my surprise, it’s way less than you will expect. 

James Gunn managed to create a film with heartfelt moments without his jokes, which may come off as corny to some. The funniest jokes are those in real situations that everyday people can relate to. Some jokes sadly did not stick, and some could be felt a mile away, but the funniest of them is a surprise cameo.

With past iterations trying to drag and showcase Superman’s power set, this movie is about who he is or, at the very least, believes himself to be at the core. Questions like, should those with too much power oppress or intervene? Superman ignorantly believes in the good of humanity.

The casting of this movie is arguably the best casting of all iterations of Superman. Every cast did 150% with what they had. More on our YouTube:

Neutral Point

Despite being the coal to the Orient Express, the score was all over the place. The nostalgia in the John Williams theme was useful in some parts of the movie, but in most places, it felt over the top.

The flying scenes were a choice, but the action mid-flight was beautiful.

Negative Point

Despite how “comic booky” this movie is, the number of characters could use more screen time, especially a female superhero. Each tertiary character tried to shine, but with such great talent, you forget this is a Superman movie.

To compensate for not being an origin story, James Gunn found the worst way to make the audience understand why things are the way they are. I don’t think there is a reason why actual people will have to explain, without being asked, why you only wear a gold chain. This movie found a way to make callbacks annoying. What’s worse is there’s nothing to call back to.

Conclusion

Superman delivers on its promises: a great movie experience that poses the question, “What does it mean to be good?” This is a great start to the vision of the DCU, but will it end up like the old DC and new Marvel?

What Can Nollywood Learn From The Recent Falls Of Hollywood

I don’t think you’ve noticed…

Although the majority of our social media posts cover international entertainment, Streamdorm is Nigerian-owned. So I want to say a big thank you to you for subscribing; you have no idea how big your impact is in realizing our dream.

What’s happening in Hollywood?

The industry we all love, the industry which, till this day, colonizes cultures. It’s sad to see what’s happening, and it seems like it is eating itself. What’s happening?

For years, Hollywood has always been about fostering the ideas of creatives, creating movies and products that have helped shape American culture. Star TrekStar WarsRockyThe ExorcistRamboTop GunE.T.Coming To America, and so on are part of a long list of movies that have been exported outside of America and now have a history of many, including myself, here in Nigeria. But what could be wrong?

These past years, our screens have been filled with adaptations, sequels, remakes and reboots, while that may be good, the obvious elephant in the room will be the re-messaging. Snow WhiteGhostbustersLightyearThe Little MermaidThe Last of US: Part IIBatwoman are a few of many movies and shows where the original audience loved was changed to serve a purpose. Trust me when I say it’s not because of the hate of a particular gender or inclusivity. Into The Spider-verseBarbieCaptain MarvelWonder WomanCrazy Rich Asians, and Get Out are great examples that, if done right, your movies can do well at the box office.

Hollywood, in its attempt to play all sides or, in most cases, play social justice hero, ends up mocking its audience. Recently, we had the casting of Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, which to this day, is facing backlash.

Before you go on thinking this newsletter issue is about politics, it’s not. This year we had Snow WhiteCaptain America 4, and Thunderbolts from Disney, none became a box office success, and on the other hand, we had CompanionMickey 17The Alto Knights and The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie from Warner Bros – all flopped. What some may consider woke movies, Sinners and A Minecraft Movie, and Ne Zha 2, became a success. The original being Sinners.

The truth is that a lot of factors play into a box office success, and it all falls down to the answer to this question: “Will the general audience spend their hard-earned money to see this movie?”

As a creative and an industry executive, it is your duty to ask the tough questions. As much as art should be made without constraint, we should also consider the normies. You don’t want to end up as the villain thinking you were the hero all this time.

So, how does this affect Nollywood?

While we’re yet to spend 70 million dollars making movies, it is important to watch and learn. Hollywood once thought they were untouchable, but as time went on, politics and the economy became a reality for them. In Nigeria, we understand the economy. Even consuming this content is expensive; now imagine producing it.

The quality of the art should always be a priority, and the messaging should always reflect what the majority are thinking. While you may think you know what’s right from wrong, you may be blatantly wrong.

At the end of the day, it is important to point out you DO NOT, for any reason, let people crush you for sharing what you think is right. While it may be labelled “woke” or “fascist,” you have to use your voice to speak, and to be honest, we live in a time where the meaning of those words is lost.

Tyla and Rema are The only Two African in Spotify’s 1 Billion Song Club

South African pop queen Tyla is at it, but this time it’s a top record: only one person has broken it—the first African solo artist with a song to surpass 1 billion streams on Spotify.

As of February 2025, Tyla became the first solo artist with a song (“Water”) to surpass one billion streams on Spotify. The song, which was released on July 28, 2023, took the entire world to the borders of South Africa.

The song peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Hot R&B Songs charts. It also spent 15 weeks on the Billboard 200, peaking at #24.

‘Water’ won many international awards, including MTV VMAs, MTV EMA, BET, and Grammys.

Another Billion club member achieved this but with the help of Selena Gomez on “Calm Down Remix.”

The Avatar Universe is Getting a New Avatar…Element???

It’s been 20 years since Aang was discovered, the destined Avatar who was tasked to unite the four nations. Seven years later, it was Korra’s story, and now, 13 years later, that universe, which raised a generation, is getting another addition.

Nickelodeon has called on the original creators, Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, to release another chapter to the Avatar Universe.

The new show will be ‘Avatar: Seven Havens,‘ a 26-episode, 2D animation currently in the works. Each season (aka books in Avatar) will be 13 episodes each produced by Avatar Studios. Other information like casting and premiere date is yet to be revealed.

“When we created the original series, we never imagined we’d still be expanding the world decades later,” DiMartino and Konietzko said in a joint statement. “This new incarnation of the Avatarverse is full of fantasy, mystery, and a whole new cast of amazing characters. Get ready to take another epic and emotional adventure!”

The Netflix live-action show ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ is expected to run for two more seasons. The show’s original creators, DiMartino and Konietzko, were originally expected to develop the show for Netflix, but that fell through due to creative differences.

In 2021, they returned to Nickelodeon to run Avatar Studios as co-chief creative officers and help build Avatarverse across film and TV.

A feature film for The Last Airbender focusing on the original series’ main character, Aang, is set for release in January 2026, starring Dave Bautista, Dionne Quan, Jessica Matten, Román Zaragoza, and Eric Nam.

PlayStation Network Still Down After 15 Hours, Here’s what we know

14 years ago, one of the worst occurrences in gaming history took place—we lost the PlayStation Network and sadly for 23 days. 14 years later, it will seem history is about to repeat itself.

The last time PSN was down, Sony said they were hacked, but this time around there’s been no indication on what could be the issue.

This can’t be labelled a “9/11” event for gamers; popular networks go down from time to time. This is the same for Sony’s PlayStation Network. It’s been over 15 hours since it was first reported that PSN was down, and players are getting worried.

Via X

The issues for the last few hours include the inability to access online functionality, sign in, check stores, or even boot up games that require an internet connection.

PlayStation via the @AskPlayStation Twitter/X account official response was: “We are aware some users might be currently experiencing issues with PSN. For more details: https://status.playstation.com.”
