Professional critics? Yes. Most of the general audience? No. Most people still don't look back fondly on Superman Returns, other than the blind critics and those stuck in the Christopher Reeve era.
The DCEU movies Cavill was in weren't critical successes, but they did have respectable box offices, and Cavill got residuals for those on top of increasingly higher salaries. Warner no doubt had to promise him a pretty penny to return in Black Adam and beyond, and I have no reason to believe he's above taking roles just for the money. Or maybe he just likes Superman more. Or maybe it is an artistic integrity thing. Or all of the above.

It did make money, but it didn't make all the money in the world. Even people who never heard of the manga, nor were anime/manga fans at that point, wanted a sequel after seeing the movie. With Disney buying Fox and all its IPs, I already knew another sequel wasn't going to happen. If it did happen, Cameron would have to heavily influence Disney.

What’s with the weird looking bow draw in Avatar? I’ve seen it pop up in a bunch of movies, going as far back as LotR, and it always looks horribly uncomfortable and inefficient. Not to mention it doesn’t look line any of the conventional draws I’ve seen before.
What does that even mean in this context? Appealing to those "Trained by tiktok?" We're gonna be forced to watch it portrait mode, aren't we?
Or better yet, make the movie last like 5 min following the tiktok trend!
Why does that sound like sarcasm and yet believable at the same time?
