Sure..sure

me thinking gunn is a solid writer doesn't mean i think he's above criticism

It's that he didn't bother to try and ease into the world he was creating there. He should've tried to properly establish some of the main heroes (i.e Flash or Wonder Woman) before making all these projects about less important characters.

I hear you, but that is frankly anti-creative. Yes, potentially, pushing the main characters in front like Marvel did could have been cool in some ways, but this is - to me - a bad take. There is no point in adapting comics if we have to see the same stuff all over again for years. We had so many iteractions of these main characters and for once, DC allowed for new characters to become legendary. I mean look at Peacemaker, Mr Terrific, Guy Gardner, G.I Robot, Weasel. These are characters that became iconic and got to shine because Gunn allowed them the space to breeze.. They are important too, it's not all about Batman, Flash, WW or Superman.

And all of them had a clear and (i believe) amazing narrative purpose in the Gods and monster saga. Gunn proposed a vision, a build up, something to build up patience and the craving of big names, which is exactly what we need in this super hero fatigue era to create REAL engagement. The Gunn era felt like the beginning of Marvel, it was exciting, challenging, sometimes not perfect. But people wanted fast food, and the bad kind, instead of a carefully crafted meal. Well now they will have it.

I didn't mention Batman for a reason

WW is getting adapted soon, and DC is probably trying to hold off on the Flash for a few years to create some distance from the last Flash movie
