I 100% agree on AM3 being important on momentum. No doubt it was bad. I was hoping for the big AM finale with him getting a bigger stage, blah, blah. It did not work. I question why GOTG 3 wouldn’t counteract that some more than others think, but any good feels from BPWF doing pretty well we’re flattened.

You’re fun. This thread has been overrun with negativity for a while. A fan of the genre mocks a dumb or silly post. But here comes Coolio! He’s going to preemptively defend the comment against anyone who comments on it. Does Coolio comment on the weird straw man that stans are denying that this movie is in a different spot than CM? Nope. He’s here to rescue us from SpiderByte! This movie will succeed or not, but SpiderByte better be careful!

Oh good grief, man. You post skeptical stuff here over and over and over. Which is fine. People just question some of the skepticism. But.. it’s not fanboy-ish to make rational posts about the numbers. I challenge you to find a significant number of posters or posts that deny the market is different for cbms now. Has anyone posted a prediction for more than $300m domestic? That’s losing about a third of first gross (with inflation). Everyone is agreeing drop will be significant. The stans are being very reasonable. The fatiguers are acting like this is their Super Bowl.

Part of my optimism over the OW/start is that the field should be pretty open. 11/3 -Priscilla from A24 10/27 - Friday Night at Freddy’s 10/20 - Killers of the Flower Moon 10/13 - Taylor Swift concert movie FNAF and KOTFM will do well, but seem like pretty different audiences. Due respect to Priscilla, but the 11/3 weekend allows for more burn off in interest everything else. Taylor movie will be massive of course. Certainly some overlap in audience or at least hoped for audience. I give big credit to anyone who correctly predicts Taylor movie well. Seems like legs would burn out but we are merely living in her world so… I don’t know. Will seeing Marvels trailers push interest from young female fans? Maybe wishful thinking. We’ll see.

I don’t spend a lot of time in other threads this far out or if I will never see it I almost always stay out of threads when my main purpose would be to say, “I don’t feel buzz for a movie that would never interest me.” (Sound of Freedom was an exception because it was an abomination that deserved mockery.) I guess I’m fascinated by how many people are (arguably) concern trolling. Separately, I think some of the conversation is driven by girls-are-icky thinking. i

I’m just being stupid and snarky. Maybe this movie will exceed my expectations. Maybe it will be the struggle others see for it and I can be crushed for stanning for it. However, completely normal things are going on with the promotion and marketing for this movie. Pretty much every MCU movie has done these things.

It’s really a crazy concept. First movie was set in 1990s with a character who was a kid. Second movie is set in 2020s and character is an adult. Questions… If a character is older in a sequel, are they really the same character or is the character older by virtue of being older? Has it ever happened in a CBM or any movie that a character has been recast because the movie is set when the character’s age is different? Is Iron Man’s suit actually Iron?

As serious as this whole matter is, I appreciate Bradley Whitford staying in character as Josh Lyman. (I have privileges to make fun of self-righteous libs because I am one.) -

You think people are trying to be mad, they’re overreacting, this stuff is forgettable… I’m pretty sure that people who are economically and philosophically committed to this don’t need your advice. -

Update: Bill Maher is trash. His tweet about this was completely on brand. He’s serving money and ego, but he still has the gall to suggest he’s doing it for other lower-paid workers.
