And this is a movie that, apart from everything else I mentioned, I think failed in the sense that it didn\u2019t appeal to all four quadrants of the audience. When a $200 million movie is made, the studio expects to bring everyone, even your grandmother, to the theater. And in private conversations later on, I learned things like how a lot of people weren\u2019t interested in the Flash as a character. Half of those four quadrants \u2014 the two female quadrants \u2014 many women didn\u2019t care about Flash as a character.\u201d<\/mark><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Full translation.
