James Gunn's farewell statement lists achievements, but penguinz0 is looking at the film it leaves out. "There's a very obvious absence here: Supergirl," he says in "Huge Change at DC Studios," his response to reports that Gunn and Peter Safran are stepping down.

Posted today, the commentary has drawn roughly 573,000 views in under four hours. It opens with a DiscussingFilm post reporting that former Marvel Studios producer Jeremy Latcham will take over DC. For penguinz0, the surprise is how little time Gunn and Safran have had: "Four years is a shockingly small amount of time for this kind of endeavor."

He reads Gunn's statement, which mentions Superman, Clayface and Peacemaker, then supplies his own blunt explanation for Supergirl's omission: he considers it a box-office failure and dislikes the film, particularly its music choices. That is his assessment, not an explanation offered in the statement.

The more substantial question is what happens to the work he thinks was succeeding. Clayface gets his strongest endorsement among the films, and he worries that a change in leadership could leave less room for comparable creative risks. He also displays a statement from Skydance leaders David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz praising Gunn and Safran's contributions, while leaving open whether the departures were voluntary.

His television verdict is considerably brighter. Reviewing Peacemaker's second season, The Penguin and Lanterns, he argues that the shows have been DC's strength. Beneath the video, viewers discuss the patience needed to build a connected film universe, while a separate thread defends Avengers: Age of Ultron from his criticism.
