The DCEU hasn't all been doom and gloom. I’ll defend Man of Steel as much as Superman would defend Earth. Wonder Woman was also a welcome delight, and to quote myself, was certainly the hero the franchise didn’t deserve. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad (call me two-faced but I didn't hate the latter so much at the time), however, remain the real villains of the series, and whose incoherent and laughable plots played out like riddles or jokes. But now, Justice League commits more crimes than you’d see in Downtown Gotham on a Saturday night. I may not be the greatest detective in the world, but these atrocities are more obvious than a psychopath in clown make-up.
Curious about something in particular..?

Thor: Ragnarok
After defeating
Surtur, a giant god-like creature hellbent on destroying Thor’s homeworld, Asgard,
the God of Thunder tracks down his father, King Odin (Sir Anthony Hopkins),
with the help of the portal-wielding Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberpatch). But
when Odin suddenly dies, his secret firstborn daughter, Hela (Cate Blanchett),
appears to assume power of the throne. Once she destroys Thor’s hammer,
Mjolinir, she swiftly seizes Asgard. In trying to fight Hela, Thor and his brother,
Loki (Tom Hiddleston), the God of Mischief, wind up on the distant garbage planet
of Sakaar, where they meet allies old and new, including The Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo).

Wonder Woman Review
The past year hasn't seen much luck for the DCEU. That's not to say last year's
Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad were financial
catastrophes, but critical ones they were, with their biggest downfalls being
their focus on future movies rather than themselves (in a bid of course to
catch up with the superior MCU), and with narratives made painfully-incoherent
through some generally bad writing and post-editing. And though we've familiarised
ourselves with the Wonder Woman and Justice League trailers over the past six
or so months, it seemed that all hope was already lost; that the franchise
would never do any better than Man of Steel and was doomsday'd to fail.
