Because that's literally the movie it is.

You must have a special gift, being able to know the plot of a movie before even seeing it.

Let's compare everything to Marvel because they were the first movie studio to do everything imaginable

They should stop blatantly copying the MCU's formula then.

Marvel should stop blatantly copying the Godzilla formula

But DC is Dark© And Gritty©

No, coming up with characters separately and putting them together later is cool and not played out or original to anyone specifically.

I was totally looking forward to the DCCU, but they're literally trying to do it according to the exact way Marvel did it, with a few liberties on timing that ultimately equate to a desperate rush to catch up.

Marvel is doing what Godzilla did 50 years ago

Not really.

Marvel is doing something different by having such a broad story arc. Godzilla told one character's story. Marvel has a pretty rich story. The only thing close are the serials of the 20's and 30's.

The Godzilla franchise told stories of monsters like Mothra, Rodan, and Varan in all separate movies before they all teamed up with Godzilla to fight King Ghidorah in Destroy All Monsters. Godzilla did everything Marvel did first.

Again not really

There wasn't a story arc that was being told.

A franchise? Sure. The MCU is telling a bigger story. Everything is building to a bigger story. Godzilla didn't do that. Even though there are plans for phase 5 & 6, Marvel could end everything with the Infinity War. It would be a grand story that spanned over a dozen movies. No one's done that yet. Told a finite story over that long a period. Phase 1 just set up the main players. Phase 2 the macguffins and antagonists and 3 is the final preparations. Even if you hate the franchise, you have to respect the scope
