Really just comes down to bad writing. A bad idea written by a good writer people will enjoy the film. A good idea made by a bad writer will be bad.

I can mentally divorce characters from actors but it's going to be a challenge to watch The Flash without my brain constantly reminding me of all the batshit mental things Ezra Miller has done over the past few years.

What, you are telling us Sharknado was bad?
I'm worried one of these days we will learn Monty Python and the Holy Grail was not a serious movie.
oh it was seriously silly

I know it got fame as a bad movie, which is why I watched it.
I was expecting there to be self-deprecating humor, 'could have been better with a bigger budget' or studied bad-thats-actually-good, something to deserve a bit of cult status

I almost want to watch it just to see if it would be even half as bad as the worst movie I've ever seen.
Blood Hook.
Leichen an der Angel (1986) - IMDb
Leichen an der Angel: Directed by Jim Mallon. With Mark Jacobs, Lisa Jane Todd, Patrick Danz, Sara Hauser. During a local fishing contest, people are being violently dragged into the lake and killed by a giant fish hook.

Yup, you heard that right, a Horror movie about being killed by a giant fishing hook.

I didn't really think about it even once, also cause i'm a bit hazy on the details. Crazy actor shenanigans isn't new, so I guess I can mentally remove myself from the drama!
Yeah shame but the whole DC universe is just doomed, no idea how they'll ever make a real hit again. Then again the MCU seems to be falling off a cliff too.

Michael Jordan was an exceptional talent in basketball.
Are his minor league baseball games worth watching?
They have Gunn at the helm, so there is some hope.
But the analogy breaks down when you see directors redefining the strictures of the superhero movie genre.
Whereas Jordan was just playing an inferior game, beneath his talents, many of the people who make these mega-budget movies are doing things they couldn't on their other projects.
Not sure what basketball has to do with movies... Literally nothing in common?
Now don't get excited, but its called an analogy...

Watching Star Crash again I remembered this post of yours. I suggest you try it, it's breathtaking. On Amazon Prime, as all the best turds are.I know it got fame as a bad movie, which is why I watched it.

What's up with these big movies losing so much money? The Flash and Indiana Jones stand to lose a combined $500m or more. I don't understand how even a company like Disney can absorb those kinds of losses. Even The Little Mermaid which should be automatic money is uncertain if it will break even. Hell even the animated movies are losing money at this point. I don't understand Hollywood accounting
On the other hand some stuff like Avatar and Top Gun absolutely kill at the box office, so I don't buy the streaming/covid arguments that I've seen from the studios.

To be honest, I was amazed when I heard they were doing another Indiana Jones film. I thought the last one had killed the series off, dead. I think we've already had the discussion about that one.
The Flash has passed under my radar. I'll watch it on a streaming service, but wouldn't have bothered to go to the cinema to see it whether it was good or bad. Not exactly sure what Ezra Miller was accused of but I know the insinuation was that he was a very sketchy sort of a character. I'd imagine that might have had some impact. Mostly, people probably just aren't that bothered about the DC-verse.
On a similar note, I got around to watching Black Adam. Well, I say I watched it, but I nodded off after about an hour and woke up during the climactic fight scene. I've since half rewatched the bits I slept through and can't really remember anything of interest happening. Very much a 'Meh' film, just like most of the DC stuff.
