From us here at Dashboard Reviews,
We hope you enjoy your time watching the #ClayfaceMovie
We plan on watching it tomorrow and give our final thoughts out of theatre.

DCU fans do not get to complain about Snyder fans being toxic ever again after what happened to Josh Wilding last night.
Josh saw CLAYFACE at an Odeon “Scream Unseen” public screening in the UK. He paid for his ticket. It was not a press screening. He was under no embargo.
Then he gave the movie a 2.5/5, called it “DC’s Morbius moment,” and the James Gunn crowd absolutely lost their shit.
People were trying to get his Warner Bros. press access revoked.
Some were even tagging Disney.
Over a negative review of a $30 million comic book movie.
That is insane.
And the funniest part is that the actual review embargo lifts October 21, but Josh wasn’t bound by it because he saw the movie as a paying customer at a public screening. Other attendees at the same kind of screening have said the same thing: no press invite, no embargo notice.
I don’t even like Rotten Tomatoes critics half the time, and somehow you’ve got me defending one.
That’s how stupid this got.
If Snyder fans had done this to a critic who disliked one of Zack’s movies, the Gunn crowd would spend the next six months using it as proof the fandom is a cult.
But when their side does it?
Tweets get deleted. Nobody apologizes. Everybody moves on.
Nope.
You don’t get to have it both ways.
If you’re willing to mob a critic and try to fuck with his career because he didn’t like CLAYFACE, then maybe stop pretending toxicity is something that only exists on the other side of the DC fandom war.
This. Right. Here.
I gave James Gunn’s universe a chance… I really did but it’s been nothing but mediocre slop. I just want good and faithful superhero movies heavily inspired by comic book runs, not modern times and politics.
The discourse surrounding #Clayface today is absolutely insane. I think one of the reasons Gunn fans are so fucking hostile towards everyone these days is because they spent YEARS making such a huge stink about the SnyderVerse while simultaneously glazing Gunn and the DCU as the second coming of Christ.
Now they've backed themselves into a corner where they have to defend the very thing they spent years insisting was going to be so much better. They've invested so much time and energy into being on the "winning" side that they can't possibly admit when something is mediocre or underwhelming.
It's why we're now seeing an influx of tweets celebrating how CHEAP the last two projects were, as though spending less money somehow makes something good. We've gone from arguing about the actual quality of these movies and shows to celebrating their fucking budgets.
At this point they're just defending their own egos because they've spent years backing a horse they absolutely refuse to admit might not be the winner they thought it was.
And I'm starting to think a lot of these people don't even particularly care about the movies or shows themselves anymore. They care about the Rotten Tomatoes scores, the rankings, the headlines and whatever other metric they can point to as proof that they're on the "winning" team. The actual quality of the projects seems almost secondary to having their years of online tribalism validated.
Which is pretty fucking ironic when you consider how much time they've spent accusing Snyder fans of being a cult.

Let me get this straight..
Creature Commandos flopped.
Superman 25’ underperformed.
Peacemaker S2 didn’t chart.
Supergirl bombed.
Lanterns fell off the nielsen chart.
…and now Clayface is like DC’s morbius?
The DCU stinks and no amount of shilling will ever change that.

Stop being mean - they were just looking for school supplies to get a better education.

Liberals on Jubilee demand a fact-check on a conservative’s claim about murder in blue cities. Big mistake: the host confirms he’s RIGHT.
Watch Hayden stay composed while the blue team piles on, accusing him of dodging the facts on crime.
He says murder rates are higher per capita in blue cities than red cities. They talk down to him like he’s an idiot: more people means more crime.
Yes. That’s why he said PER CAPITA.
One calls him dishonest. Another mocks him for being “real careful with his words.”
Apparently, choosing your words carefully is suspicious now.
Their own fact-check settles it:
HOST: “Democrat-run cities do have a higher average murder rate than Republican cities.”
Turns out “real careful with his words” is what being right looks like. They should try it.

Why the hell we are letting people like that “John Superman” run again with that fucking “cult” narrative when we have an official DCU employee wishing death upon every critics of Lanterns?
#ClayfaceMovie does NOT look like it’s boding well:
-Clayface’s true form is only on screen for 60 secs
-No Batman or Bruce Wayne mention
-CGI isn’t good
-Lacks the charm to The Fly and The Substance
Man of Tomorrow is the last beacon of hope. DCU is a dying brand.

This is 100% true. That's how ridiculous these insane liberal women are. They're crazy.

The more you break down and tear apart the slop that is #Lanterns , the more I dislike it
The people behind the show and the people who enjoy the show hate heroes and love to spew hatred and harm towards us normal comic book fans
Yes I’m referring to you @ReelRejects
