Marvel is like Hydra. If they kill one franchise, another three will take its place.
Star Wars is different animal. When TLJ fumbled the ball the entire thing was compromised.
Even with Avengers, a major crossover event, a subpar movie like AOU didn't kill the momentum too much.
I totally heard that in Red Skull voice.

My wild guess is that GA won’t be as put off by the things more hardcore fans don’t like.
Feelings of too much Taika silliness might be no problem for people wanting a romp. -

So are we thinking Taika will come back for a Thor 5? Cause most signs indicate he didn't even think he'd be back for a Thor 4 and then scrambled to figure something out lol
Good question.
Is there a magic gross that Marvel wants to keep going?Seems that Hemsworth is very tied to Taika also.

I feel like the potato salad was good, but there were too many unnecessary things like raisins.
Lots of raisins. -

Can't wait to see how people insist an opening over the previous movie is somehow an underperformance
As you know, DS2 was an underperformance in that it opened to $187m domestic after the first one did $232m domestic total.

Canonically it can’t be him. He doesn’t worship the Panther god Bast.And you’re right.

Saw it. Liked it.
B for me. Had so many elements that could’ve made it an A, but soooo jokey.I like the actors a lot. Spectacular visuals.
Ragnarok was epic adventure with excellent humor. This was so indulgent on the humor it undercut some of the powerful elements.
Taika is funny and he can do drama. This was indulgent. I went in so ready to not feel that way, but darn. -
I hope it is M’Baku. Also, Letitia Wright has vax positions that I hate.
Neither of those things mean that Shuri couldn’t work as BP. -
Yeah, so this reaction to TLT before any concrete numbers makes me cringe about what the BPWF discussion will be.
BPWF could make $500 domestic under pretty difficult production circumstances and it will be PROOF BIG PROOF of MCU collapsing to some.
I’ll see TLT tonight. Very interested to see how it goes. -
The Pixar comparisons are apt.
The ongoing debate about whether DS2 was a big hit that rose dramatically from its predecessor or it was a con job that left a lot of money on the table because it was haphazard shows this.
I thought Up was better than Wall E, that Brave was excellent and Inside Out is an A plus. But look at many of the reviews. They are almost obsessive about whether those films match the previous standard. It’s kind of miserable to read. Obviously, it’s valid to compare a movie to similar ones, but it’s like one of the worst aspects of sports fandom. We can’t enjoy a shooting guard’s career now because Kobe Bryant would’ve made him cry or some bullshit.

Did you all catch the three TLT tickets I bought yesterday?
Did you?

Some critics have roasted MCU movies as bland and formulaic. Now that there is some clear divergence I wonder if those specific critics will note that.

MCU has Nov. 2023.
Likely to be Blade.

Ah, just The Numbers letting me down.
Thank you. -
Is anyone else not FREAKED OUT by lack of Thursday numbers for DS2 and Lightyear?

I guess my question is - is there gonna be like, more Avengers movies? Because even though I don't love what the MCU has done to movies, the "few films in a phase leading to big team up" was quite the business strategy! They should get back to doing that if they want to recapture the glory days. Now it just seems like random cameos in solo movies with no Avengers anymore.
It seems like yes and no.
More Avengers movies with a main team, but also variations like Young Avengers or Dark Avengers/Thunderbolts.
Some of that could be D+

The problem with the MCU as a relative non-fan who still sees all of them, is that they no longer seem to be building to anything. They are content for content's sake without purpose - not building to something coherent, but not allowed to be free enough to truly break out of the box, either. Thanos cameos may have been annoying at the time but they gave this entire franchise an ethos. A point to build towards. What happens once you literally get past the "Endgame"? Anything else was bound to be anticlimatic outside of the No Way Home stuff (and when they eventually bring in Hugh Jackman and Deadpool, tbh)
That’s understandable.
As a consumer who once read 20 comic books a month, the genre does have a riddle. How do you top Thanos? With Galactus, Korvac, the Beyonder, etc.It’s the same problem as wrestling. Why do I care about a certain PPV if I know the belt isn’t getting dropped.
Feige did say the big plot thread is about to be more clear.-

Um, DS2 just made 410/950. T4 will do very, very well.
Disagreements about quality are obviously valid. The idea that a drop in quality has shown in the marketplace seems pretty evidence-free.
I’ve read that DS2 was a disappointment financially. Maybe a little. But is the argument that the sequel to a $232m movie should have made more than $410m-ish because of cameos/hype? If that argument is correct, that sounds like a pretty robust franchise.-

When is Lionsgate PlusMax coming so we can six-part series on the Games wins of Haymitch, Finnick and Johanna?
-
I liked Lightyear, but damn.
It will get past Lost City and be seventh on 2022 movies so far. It will get passed in July by Minions and Thor. Utterly certain to get passed by BPWF and A2.
Will also be passed by…Black Adam?
Super Pets?
Shazam 2?
What else?
Good Dinosaur was #26 in 2015.

Russell Crowe Zeus feels more accurate to the Zeus who turned himself into animals to have sex with mortal women all the time.
Oh, yeah.
Keeping it canon.-

Who is intently watching the Greek market to see if there is a negative reaction to depiction of particular gods or anger over Russell Crowe being Zeus instead of Neeson or Olivier?

It feels like a lot of trolling though. If someone has negative to… mixed? feelings about the quality of Marvel movies, why are they making a bunch of posts in the Thor thread?
I can’t imagine going into a thread of movies I didn’t like or was disinterested in and make a bunch of posts about gosh-looks-like-trouble.
