What a weird damn thing to say honestly.

For one, Flash IS a popular character! He’s within the top five most popular characters in the entire DC universe (and he’s not the 5th). His show was widely and wildly beloved, even when it got BAD.

But even then… are you saying that you’re incapable of making a successful movie without a popular character that a lot of people care about already? 

Who cared about Guardians of the Galaxy before that movie came out? 

Who cared about Antman before his movie came out? 

Or Captain America? 

Or even Ironman? 

Blaming it on women no less is even more weird.

If you make a good movie that’s marketed well, you’ll earn money. It doesn’t matter how wildly successful that character is.

It’s this kind of thinking that results in so many amazing characters being underutilized in favor of more popular characters. 

Hollywood isn’t able to actually critique a product but instead are lazy and land on the idea that IP as a whole just doesn’t work.

That’s so lame. 

…by the way, this guy doesn’t even know who Wally West is.
