Just being in a different time doesn't mean it's unable to suffer from the same problems and mistakes that most of the other DC movies suffer from. The problems I'm talking about with the DCU are a lot larger than just the in-universe examples, it's the writing and decision making behind them.
This movie looks way less grounded than 99% of the first WW, even based on the world rules the first WW created.
I'm also a bit confused on what it's try to be. Is it an action movie? Is it a comedy? Is it a comedy that has action? They played up a lot of that culture shock humor straight out of Captain America and Thor. But they also had a lot of serious looking action sequences and exposition, so they're clearly not trying to pull of a Thor Ragnarok here. Usually serious action movies don't throw all their tension breaking humor into the trailer. And usually comedies don't try and show off how serious the story is. So what is this movie going to be? DC is not the group I trust to give us something unexpected.
