I watched the flash last night, and I actually think they did a ton of stuff right, it might be my favorite DCEU movie, although it's probably still WW (not that it's a high bar)

The story and the tone were absolutely what that film needed, and for a film with a dozen cameos the top 4 or 5 seemed less hamstrung than most from Star Wars, Marvel and DC have been in the past. There were some hamstrung cameos, but when Batfleck, Gadot, and Oldbat showed up it fit with the story.
Instead of having Lando hosting a burning man festival or E.Ross investigating a kidnapping of an Ironman wannabe just so we remember that Wakanda exists in the same universe as the Avengers.
