Justice League is finally out and the reactions are far from super, man

Superhero movies are among the most eagerly anticipated every year. The fans go crazy for them. But when one of them doesn’t meet their high expectations, all hell breaks loose.

1. Justice League didn’t do as well as expected at the US box office during its opening weekend.

The first ever #GuardiansoftheGalaxy movie featuring a talking raccoon and tree that many comic book fans had barely heard of : $94,320,833 on opening weekend.

The first ever #JusticeLeague movie uniting DC’s Trinity with #Aquaman & #TheFlash: $93,842,239

Who saw that coming?

2. Some shade is thrown.

3. The expectations are definitely different.

Every time I see a Marvel movie, I wonder if this will be the bad one. Every time I see a DC movie, I wonder if this will be the good one. #JusticeLeague

4. This poster seems a bit more appropriate now.

5. Jack paints quite a picture, and does not hold back.

#JusticeLeague is a complete void of personality and charm, a garbage bag stretched in so many directions that it can’t hold the few shiny shards rattling around with the fluff. To make matters worse, JL can’t even be bad in an interesting way.

6. Turns out they could’ve seen this coming.

7. When Rotten Tomatoes reported on the unexpectedly low numbers, people had some things to say.

8. Jacob wasn’t surprised.

9. Diogo found himself an analogy.

10. But Steve has a more nuanced view.

11. So don’t worry:

If you saw #JusticeLeague and liked it, that’s okay.

12. Because you’re not alone.

13. Even this Marvel writer enjoyed it.

I’ve definitely been no fan of the DC movies so far. Flat-out hated most of them. Even Wonder Woman I thought had big problems. But I actually kinda enjoyed Justice League. Sure it’s got problems too, but for me it finally made the DC movie-verse feel like a big fun place.

14. This certainly doesn’t improve the movie viewing experience.

I wish movie theaters would crack down on guys playing the tuba. Went to see Justice league today and there were at least fourteen guys playing tubas

15. This explains a lot, actually.

16. Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi can’t help but troll Justice League.

I mean, I don't know how else to comment on this other than… Thanks??#SupportEachOther #SubliminalLove #ThorRagnarok #JLAssemble #Crossover #skuxlife @bradwinderbaum pic.twitter.com/Tl2Kp79ZHk

17. The signs were all over that poster, as it turns out.
