Thunderbolts* | May 2, 2025 | MCU
SpiderByte replied to Eric the Fall Guy's topic in Box Office Discussion
A very premature declaration about a movie that has not shot a single frame of footage and does not release for two fucking years to say it's the same as Origins. -
The reviews for the Marvels largely say she's the highlight of the movie. Do you think removing the character nearly everyone liked most would have improved the reception somehow? Nope, there are reviews for the entire series. Not as many as for the ones that are sent as press screeners, but they are there, and they're still consistent with the others. Marvel has clearly no plans to jettison Ms Marvel despite how unpopular she is with the Box Office Theory forum.
-
Why? Shows with far worse viewership than Ms Marvel stick around with far worse critical reception. You want to see an actual example of a Disney+ bomb? The Willow series.
-
Would you make this same argument for Sam Jackson?
-
Ms Marvel is the best reviewed Marvel Studios release. Full stop. Including Black Panther. The reviews for The Marvels, even many of the negative ones, praise Iman Vellani specifically and say they think she steals the whole movie. This random hatred that this board has for Ms Marvel, insisting that she's a character who everyone hates, is not reflected by reality outside of it.
-
Nobody, nobody, gave a single shit about Iron Man before the movie came out. Nobody cared about the Guardians before their movie came out. The vast majority of people did not know who the Avengers were before the movie came out. Just assuming that nobody will like a character because they're not already famous is idiotic. This isn't DC where they just reboot Batman every three years.
-
They aren't going to just constantly reboot Tony Stark every two years. Some users on here just got to accept there's going to be new characters sticking around.
-
I doubt Young Avengers is a movie. My guess it's part of Jac Schaeffers growing corner on Disney+
-
RPK yes, Handle no but this isn't original reporting from them so it isn't a factor
-
Since show the strike is over, I wonder if we'll get a trailer, or at least a title, for this at CCXP in a few weeks. They didn't have any Disney+ presence last time, so they might not this time, but if theyre going it'd be surprising if they had nothing for Deadpool 3.
-
Lol half this article is saying "Killers of the Flower Moon doesn't count as a bomb because Apple makes money outside of movies", a ridiculous comparison to Disney, theme park empire.
-
Well the idea is introducing new characters and giving them a shot. Shang-Chi, etc.
-
"There's no buzz for this movie that is two years from release. If people aren't already buying presales a year before the first trailer, it's a flop"
-
Yeah, no, the studio is not going to shut down for a decade.
-
And tbh it's not like Steve had crazy powers or anything. He was basically just strong.
-
Kinda leaving out a key piece of equipment he has aside from those wings.

The Marvels (2023)
SpiderByte replied to Eric the Fall Guy's topic in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)
I think this is not nearly as bad as the awful discourse surrounding it. I actually think it's much better than the first, which is okay but a bit boring, vs this which is messy but the really really fun kind of messy. -
...why would it need to "overcome" an R rating when there have been two R rated Deadpool movies that did great?

The Marvels (2023)
SpiderByte replied to Eric the Fall Guy's topic in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)
Not if they're using Percys Beast... -
They can't have someone debunk every fake rumor every day because people will just make more fake rumors to see what sticks. Which is exactly what happened with Gunn and why he's stopped doing it so much
-
Aside from the director it's the same creative team as the last two, and even then Levy and Reynolds get along incredibly
-
I don't think people are thinking it's going to be radically different in tone. But Deadpool with a bigger budget and potentially all the X-Men at its disposal has a lot of potential.
-
I mean they had MCU jokes in Deadpool 2 so I can only imagine there'll be some in 3
-
It's unclear how much they're gonna show the other X-Men in promotion, but I think next year is gonna be a stark reminder that it's Marvels ace up their sleeve.
