The thing that gets me about this controversy is that Disney is just a giant corporation at the end of the day. Most Americans support LGBT rights in a broad sense, so it makes sense that Disney is going to signal in that direction. It doesn't mean their super supportive, either, as we know they only do the bare minimum when it comes to pandering, but they're not going to take an anti-gay stance that's going to cost them money.
You'd think conservatives would understand that Disney is simply operating under the mindset of free market capitalism.

No critic reviews yet are worrying.

lol at people acting like EG is a failure because it may only make 800M DOM and not much more. I would have loved for it to pass TFA as well, but some perspective is needed.

I honestly expected way more for DP mostly due to the social media buzz. 80M DOM seemed to be the floor for it's OW. What happened?
-
I just want less Pixar sequels.

Same, Widow worked best as a supporting character and it feels 6 years too late.
Now The Eternals could easily be big. If I were Disney, I move it to December and ditch Cruella as it's already dead.
Widow was never really that interesting, either. She's great as a supporting character, like you said, but I absolutely have no interest in a solo film about her.

The issue with summer 2020 is there's no zeitgeist type of film that completely blows away the competition. I don't see anything crossing $500M DOM next summer, or the entire year for that matter. Maybe Wonder Woman if it vastly exceeds sequel expectations, but eh, probably not.

Is Alice in Wonderland THAT forgotten? (Not that I’m complaining, from all I understand it was dogshit.)
Alice was way back in 2010. It technically counts, I guess, but the live action adaptations of the 80's/90's Disney classics started in 2015 with Cinderella, I believe. After that, we had Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast, Dumbo, Aladdin, TLK, Mulan, etc.

Something tells me that if anything could be the MCU’s SOLO moment it would be Black Widow. Depends on where they go with it though.
Knowing what we know about her character in Endgame, I'm not too excited for it.

Only good one was Cinderella(2015).
Wasn't that the first of these live action adaptations?

I'm starting to think it can beat Avatar in both DOM and WW.

Marvel will still be dominant, but I do see it slowing down for the next few years. Problem for the competition, though, is that the DCEU as a whole is pretty dead, SW is hit or miss, and Avatar is a wild card. This can go many ways, but Marvel is so dominant at this point that even if all their upcoming films for the next couple years only make half of EG, they'll still be #1.

I do wonder about the legs at this point. Does EG have a much higher reach than IW overall? I sure hope so, as this is the best MCU movie by a wide margin, imo.
-
There really is no excuse to not have Bay involved with this. He's been done with Transformers for nearly two years now, so the filming schedule would have lined up perfectly.
-
It's going to be completely overshadowed by Aquaman and Mary Poppins.
-
Still don't know why Michael Bay decided not to return.

Don't forget this gem. I think this probably swayed a few moderates into voting for Trump just out of spite.

Gaga has been teasing a new project on social media lately. Not sure if it's LG6 or a soundtrack to this film.
-
A lot of the buzz around this feels fake. Like all of these stars who were gushing about how amazing this movie is going to be before any official screenings. I liked Gaga a lot back in the day, but she hasn't really done anything outstanding since 2011, yet everything she's involved in still gets critical acclaim for some reason.

A movie hitting a franchise high...isn't good. Sure, that makes sense.
A franchise high that's taken 18 years to surpass the previous high, not accounting for inflation. It's doing good, but despite all the glowing reviews and hype, it can't seem to move the needle that much farther.

I've just watched the first three and am halfway through the fourth. Great series so far. 1 was good but felt very dated and seemed more like a two hour television episode, 2 was so boring (except for the last half hour) that I almost stopped watching entirely, 3 definitely put the series back on track and has a perfect mix of action and intrigue, and 4 seems to be even better, from what I've watched so far.

I feel the same (at least was my first impression), maybe not know but suspect something bigger than just tweets, because Guardian of the Galaxy 3 release is in 2020, this is so many news circle away for something so little that if I understand stopped before the release of Gotg 1 and was never under being a face of Disney.
Or, they had a long fight with him about stopping is divisive twitter activities, maybe was even going against it's contract and they were already angry at him/disliking him and that was just what pushed it over the edge.
That said, when people pointed out the Disney could have simply been in a: We really don't want to have a they fired Rosanne the good friend of the president but not the anti-Trump director narrative over their head going into one of the biggest corporate transaction in history that need the federal government approval situation, that did made sense also. If they Lasseter him back into Marvel after the transaction is all well done and nothing else come up, we could suspect that it was only that.
Yeah, there could be some dark shit that Disney knows about Gunn and they're using these old tweets to get rid of him now before something comes out that really blows things up.

Absolutely, all are worth a watch. The last two (Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation) in particular are fantastic, easily some of the best action films of the decade.
Luckily I still have a physical video rental store near me, so I'll have to check them out.

Yeah, Strange 2 is the perfect time to drop a teaser to get people hooked. Then a more proper trailer sometime in late summer/early fall.
