Don’t know if this is just me playing Devil’s advocate, but Furiosa also had great presales before stumbling at the endgame. Alien is of course a far bigger franchise and has a bigger fandom, but it’s also a niche sci-fi 80s franchise from a very fan-driven franchise. And while Furiosa was fresh off Fury Road, Alien hasn’t had a huge crowd pleasing hit since Aliens. And that movie is how old now?
I hope for the best of course. It looks good! I’m excited for it. Just feel it’s important to bring that up with some of the 60+ predictions I’m seeing.

To be fair, based on the numbers basically nobody has seen it.
I saw it in theaters myself. Was actually taken aback at first why everybody hated it, because I loved how dynamite and thrilling and inventive the first act was...then we got to act two, and it all made sense. When your big joke is "a sandwich with meat on the top and bread in the middle whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", I gotta wonder how much time they actually had with this stupid movie.

Look, even if Moana 2 is bad, and I am frankly more confident on it than most are, at least quality-wise, BvS legs for an animated movie is simply unheard of. Let alone for a movie that will have both Thanksgiving and Christmas to help support it. I just think getting to 600M is a ludicrous leap, and I hope we aren't fooling ourselves into thinking a more modest jump of 360M or something is a bad gross.

If it's bad then it's gonna be BVS/Multiverse of Madness 2.0. Huge OW followed by a crash.
I mean...I doubt that lol

Not sure where the 600M for Moana 2 is coming from tbh. Like I know it's huge on streaming and stuff, but if Frozen 2 can't do it, I can't imagine Moana 2 going that high.

I have to say watching the movie surrounded by straight guys making annoyingly loud sounds of excitement everytime someone said “fucking” in the movie was hard, kinda like “oh it’s so grown up and edgy” vibes … yeah it was one of the low points of my screening.
I wanted people excited with Like a Prayer or something
This movie took me back to my middle school days, when Daniel Tosh and The Hangover were considered the funniest shit to all my guy friends, and "that's so gay" was a common phrase...not a compliment!

Sit back and get comfortable lol. People will see IPs until the sun explodes. And considering the breakouts are usually more IP based than purely original content, even originals that break out have something based on it.
Oh I already got like 5 different rants up and ready for the end of the year. Y'all are gonna love it!

Will the talk that the issue is too many reboot, sequel, etc... continue ?
Oh I'm gonna complain about that until the cows come home...or at least people bother to see more than just NTCs over and over and over and over and over again.

Can anyone explain me who is Agent Cooper and why is he quoted all the time
Some dude on Reddit that HummingLemon fetishizes as some all-knowing box office master. He’s been doing this quite a lot ever since he started posting here and it’s gotten pretty darn old and tired if you ask me…

Twisters coming back to 4dx
I’m not even a PLF guy and I’m itching to rewatch Twisters in this format. Haven’t seen something hyped this much for 4DX…ever. And last time I’ve seen the hype for a PLF movie period was probably Gravity. There have been other “see this on IMAX” movies of course, but nothing to this degree.

Another favourite line of attack is whinging about the BO collection of these movies whilst paradoxically bemoaning the state of movie theatres and their perpetual bankruptcies.
Just because theaters are in a precarious financial situation doesn't mean we can't be critical about what is popular or what is "keeping them afloat". Although really, in the latter case, the idea that Marvel movies being the only thing that is "saving theaters" is not only untrue, but even if it were true, is a very toxic, objectively bad thing to call out. Like...one movie series keeping an entire industry alive is a horrible thing, but a lot of Marvel fans don't seem to care, at least from my perspective. And really, if anything, it's good to be critical of stuff largely regarded as "popular" or "well-liked" to give new perspectives, even if said criticisms can be hyperbolic. These are just corporate products at the end of the day And that also implies to well-loved art films or what people consider "true cinema". They are corporate products too, so I'm not playing sides here.
Plus, if I'm going to be frank, as somebody who feels like I have to walk on eggshells whenever I say anything negative about Marvel in particular, if people were saying the same things about Transformers movies or Jurassic movies or, heaven forbid, DC movies, would you, and some of the other same folks here leap to their defense? Because while Marvel is a big target, it's not the only one, and I don't see anywhere near the same defenses for those franchises when they get targeted. Which I see here and on other social media sites. Like I think both Jurassic World and Deadpool 3 are some of the worst movies to come out in the last few years, but I feel I can dog on Jurassic World all I want and say it's an affront to cinema with nobody caring, but Deadpool is something I feel I got to treat with kid gloves, because saying it's an abomination will have people thinking I am out to get a poor, innocent $30 billion enterprise or that I'm some hater who is jealous of Feige. I don't think that's very fair.

Yeah, we're done with this whole argument right here. @ZattMurdock @MysteryMovieMogul you were clearly trying to start a fight with your accusations, and it's not something we need. Please move on to something else, or thread bans will come your way.
