I 100% agree. I think this whole thing is a terrible precedent, and as much as I'd like to see a good Superman/Batman team up movie, frankly I hope it doesn't succeed because I really don't want to see tentpole franchises rehashing the same stories over and over again out of some fear that they were unable to make everyone happy. First they never will make everyone happy, second even if they are going to rehash the same themes and plot structures over and over again as they do, at least new characters and frames make it somewhat interesting.
I think all 3 prequel star wars movies are terrible and the Rise of Skywalker might be worse, but I really hope star wars as a franchise moves on and tells new stories. Arguably this was the problem with the Rise of Skywalker, like or hate TLJ, RoSw petulantly tried to pretend it didn't exist and broke the coherence of the story.
I don't think The Hulk needs to be told again, given the current state of the MCU, even if that movie is an absolute outlier in terms of quality and tone.
The Hobbit movies sucked if for no other reason than them squeezing over 8 hours of movie out of 300 page book, and just lacking the basic level of content to keep audiences engaged. But they just need to leave it alone and focus on other content for a generation.
The Justice league is no different, they #### the bed on the movie. The correct thing to do is pickup the piece and build on what they have left, leave it to future generations to tell the formation of the Justice League better than they did. Trying to ret-con a different story into this universe undermines the entire idea of contiguous interconnect stories that they are trying to build. It's emblematic of reason the DCEU has failed, everything Marvel does is in respect of how it connects to the greater hole and pays homage to dozens of plot arcs they can just allude to without getting dragged into the details, if DC were able to plan ahead like this there wouldn't be space to tell two completely different stories within the same movie.
