Man, Ang Lee's Hulk got away with murder back in the day. It was coming off the success of Spider-man, and everyone was expecting a big budget version of the TV series (the movie itself musically even references themes from the TV series). Then they got whatever the hell it was trying to be. I was in middle school back then and at that point loved just about everything I saw in the theater, but that was the first movie that made me go "wait, huh." It's even funnier when the tone of the film's end credits, with a blaring rock song that I guarantee you was't Ang's idea and cartoony comic panels doesn't match the tone of the movie.

MLK 2021 Weekend Thread | Scream 3.5 Previews

They'll work out something with Friday the 13th eventually. There's too much money on the table for all sides to not eventually agree to something. . . that or find a clever loophole -
Scream | January 14, 2022 | Profit of $56.7M

Perhaps, but they literally pulled A Quiet Place Part II a week from release back in 2020. Granted that was the early days of covid and everything was closing and shutting down. -
They're both 150 minute long superhero films that are vastly different from their predecessors. They both make the decision to give the action a backseat (WW84 has maybe 10 minutes of action) and focus more on the characters/story beats/exposition. They both have highly divisive reactions with people either really liking them or outright hating them and calling them the worst of their respective franchises. Superficial I know, "you could say the same about other superhero films" I know. . . but still. Both were films that people were swearing up and down would be top of their class. . . only for the critical reception to shut that down. What does make them different is audience reaction. The audience has already seen Wonder Woman and are divisive over it, however Eternals hasn't had that happen yet. . . the audience could end up loving it. You may not see the comparison, but apparently a lot do. It's not just in this thread. I've seen it through reddit and other forums.

This is shaping up to be Marvel's WW84 - though I liked WW84 (It's essentially a big budget version of the 70s series) so I still have hope with this. If it fails, Marvel Studios will recover. They got the Hawkeye series and Spider-man on the horizon - then next year will be nuts - Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Thor. . .the various TV shows (especially Ms. Marvel, which I'm willing to bet will be the biggest hit). Also, apparently it's so heavily stand alone (save for the credit scenes), that they could seemingly course correct fast and treat it like Incredible Hulk. Still . . perhaps they should have not tried to make a big budget arthouse film and did Inhumans instead - Lockjaw would have made them bankkkkk . . .

Yes, but no one went to see Last Duel either way. . .so outside of potential awards, it'll be largely forgotten by this time next year. Marvel's first potential dud since The Incredible Hulk won't aford such luxury. Eternals will either pick up or not. I've always been interested in it, but it's based on a comic barely anyone knows about (which is what Marvel Studios excels at, but in this case, Eternals may have well been an underground indie comic) and it looks so vastly different. Looking vastly different can be a good thing. . .but it can also be a bad thing when audiences go "That doesn't look like it's gonna be fun. . " It still stands out to me more than Dune. . .
