>>8313442This is incredibly embarrassing, a massive blow to his ego, and exactly what he needs. A wake-up call is necessary. His antics during the press run were a huge turn off:
-Talking about the “Black Adam DC universe” and how he wanted future films to revolve around him
-insinuating that the choice of the head of DC studios would be up to him
-publicly slating WB for their handling of Cavill
-spoiling the stinger scene in a desperate last-ditch attempt to boost ticket sales after the projections for opening weekend were lowered
-HIERARCHY HIERARCHY HIERARCHY
And then the movie came out. A mid movie that goes out of its way to jerk him off by having characters repeatedly state that he’s so much better than any DC heroes that have come before him, and features a fight scene that exists solely for him to destroy effigies of said DC heroes. And how did the alleged biggest movie star on the planet conduct himself?
-passive-aggressive tweet at IGN when they compared Black Adam to Wakanda Forever, calling Black Adam a “new baby that needs to grow”.
-posting a video from his truck where he’s trying to convince the public that “our film has many tentacles” regarding profitability.
-leaking false numbers to obfuscate the fact that the movie lost money theatrically
-retweeting a puff piece from Deadline including those false numbers
-comparing his movie’s grosses to Captain America The First Fucking Avenger, a movie that came out over a decade ago and starred a version of Chris Evans that is not nearly as powerful at the box office as the alleged biggest movie star today. Also didn’t adjust those grosses for inflation because with that adjustment, Cap made $100 million more than Black Adam.
