Suicide Squad director David Ayer is commending DC Comics movie fans for their “negativity.” If you’ve been on Twitter for the past week and change, there’s no way you have missed the fandom turmoil over all the change at DC Films. Peter Safran and James Gunn are leaving their stamp on the beloved universe. That means a lot of the Zack Snyder-era stuff is getting rebooted or placed aside. Naturally, fans of those characters and that universe have been vocal in their opposition to these changes. All that chatter, not all of it polite, has led Gunn to tell the fans that they aren’t going to be swayed by mean tweets. However, the Suicide Squad director feels like that comes with the territory. Now, that’s Ayer’s opinion, but the people on the other ends of the posts probably feels quite a bit differently. Check out his tweet down below.
I always saw the negativity as a testament to the power of these characters. There’s something deeply mythological in them that ignites passion on both sides. https://t.co/FmJyOlh5GB
