if i were given the power to reboot the dceu i think i would do something out of left field like a captain atom movie. put the big 3 on the shelf for a minute and follow the iron man template of giving a b/c-lister a strong movie that sets up everything.
also besides a title sequence we dont ever need another movie with the origin of superman or batman. everyone gets it, everyone knows. (ditto spider-man/hulk)
every director: "but *i* want to show martha waynes' pearls slowly falling to the ground in crime alley!!!!"
also if you have to show krypton, i will allow no aesthetic but the very shiny and crystaline 1978 krypton

because dems suck at framing, some advice - look at a current problem, blame it on conservative policy. repeat.

this isn't actually difficult but dems usually prefer to be the "smart one" instead of being effective
example:

"male fertility is down because republicans supported so much deregulation, now america is lagging the world in medical innovation!"

(you can be more reality based if you like but its the same freaking frame)
fwiw this is easier because there really are ties between conservative policy and american failures but what i wrote is more eye catching

Things we tell ourselves ImageImage
History will just magically find 45 guilty he says as I look at Bush's post presidency numbers and a media landscape littered with Bushies
Unfortunately I think Nov 2020-Feb 2021 is the lowest in esteem 45 will ever be and it's all up from here. I think dreams about him being poorly regarded the way liberals want are a fantasy. I hope I am I wrong but I doubt it.

the democrats are a large coalition that earned the most votes in presidential history with one of its most progressive platforms in the modern era.
people who repeatedly failed to reign in the gop are addicted to lecturing democrats on what they have to do

happy presidents day from the timeline where we beat global warming and didnt invade iraq
"Mr President, Bin Laden determined to attack..."
"Clear my schedule. This is the priority."
"There isn't any connection between Al Qaeda and Saddam, get this shit out of my office."

the failure of the 45 and 43 presidencies means republicans still have to default to reagan when citing a gop presidency that didn't go down in flames.
even the impeached democratic president left office more popular than the two recent gop presidents.
also, and ive referenced this before, but liberal twitter has this annoying habit of not understanding that their personal pov is not always the national pov. the overall national impression of reagan is pretty positive. you don't like to think so. but it is.
