Because it seems like you don't like being in this place anymore. You start fights and do passive-aggressive backtalk the second anyone dares say that Marvel movies are "dying" or "on a decline" or "are getting bad reviews". It's not constructive, it doesn't help anybody, and indicates you hate this forum and its community. And sorry to say, the staff won't ban people for saying mean things about Marvel, just as we don't ban people for saying nice things about Marvel. So why are you in a place that is ultra-pessimistic and full of bad takes when there are hundreds, thousands of other places online where people talk about Marvel more positively? Pretty sure you aren't being forced against your will to post on this forum. So you could do one of two things: ignore these posts/posters (we have Ignore functionalities on this forum after all), or find another area that is more kindly towards Marvel. Because it makes zero sense to hang around a forum you dislike, especially when Marvel discussion is literally everywhere. It's your choice.

Dude, we get it.

I mean Angela's performance was amazing and wonderful and iconic, so...my take would be very happy?

Well if you don't like this board for its pessimism, then just a reminder that we're not the only place on the Internet where you can talk about Marvel. There's zero reason to hang out around a forum you hate.

Yeah. The kids are back in school. What did you expect?

It’s in the Speakeasy thread. The weekend is over.

I know, right?

The cultural impact!

I believe Criterion's also going through money troubles, and they usually get recent releases into the collection because those sell better. Don't really think it matters too much if something isn't an automatic instant classic gets into the collection, especially when Ostlund's films have been in the collection before and his fans are typically Criterion buyers anyways. Like if you don't like it being there...don't buy it.

Don't worry, I gave them warning points. Next time they spam it, a threadban will come their way.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You also coulda read a book instead.

Quorum's not really all that atypical. Simply put, Marvel nerds are so powerful and so dedicated that even with lower awareness, these movies still do better than most. By comparison, Shang-Chi and Eternals were both in the 30s in awareness a month before release, while No Time to Die and Ghostbusters: Afterlife were in the 40s a month before release. And look which movies opened higher. Even if we're going into interest, a month before release, NTTD was only a tenth below Eternals and four tenths above Shang-Chi. Ghostbusters was at a whopping 5.91! But Marvel nerds gonna be Marvel nerds. No joke, Disney could put out a movie that's nothing but a jar of mayonaisse in a fridge for two hours, and so long as they put the Marvel Studios logo on the poster, Marvel nerds will watch it like robots. It's almost kind of scary.
