They won’t be able to give you objective justifications for their adoration, but the internet community loves nothing more than to campaign for the middling SnyderVerse, and with James Gunn coming in and bulldozing over any and all chance of a return for the filmmaker, the Guardians of the Galaxy director has found himself in a hot boiler of his own making.

Obi-Wan Kenobi fans bring up Leia’s abduction scene once again
In today’s content-hungry landscape, it doesn’t matter if you’re spending a million dollars per episode or ten.
