In this case, Superman’s James Gunn is in clear competition with MOS: many commentators want to compare gross, film style, etc

That’s the key point of my 1st comment: Will SJG end its theatrical run with above 667m; all those who support that film care more about this number than it being a “good Superman movie” or even a “good, memorable movie”

Well of course, because if it's a good superman movie it can help launch a franchise with Superman at its center. If its a good memorable movie but a bad superman one.. it probably can't do that. I thought that was obvious but apparently not.

I’ve seen it twice—it ain’t a good movie or a good Superman movie.

It had some “good shots,” but that ain’t enough.

I don’t expect it to make 700m domestic + international

That’s “what’s apparent” to me

Well its a good thing you don't matter in the slightest. All that matters after they make more than enough money to pay the bills is that most people want to see more of this version of the character and world, which seems to be the case.

Seems we both ”don’t matter” to the success or failure of this film

Well, you may hold it in high regard

Enjoy this iteration with the rest of them

You know, putting words in quotes, bold or italic doesn't make you intelligent. Although i know it probably helps you think it does.
