He's not saying it'll have Multiverse's IM, but that Panther's IM will take it to near Strange's 187M. Don't worry, I was confused too lol

The preview number's your mom 😈

Sorry guys, what's the preview and international total? I don't know what it is.

This genuinely sank my heart all the way to my stomach. Even with all the other iterations out there, he's always been the best Batman there is.

...yeah. That's why I said I don't want that.

@Last Man Standing If you could PM me your list, that would be great. Remember, that's the only way your list will count

Yeah these days, it's typically just 5 trailers at my Regal. This was above average. Which I guess some will think it's annoying, but I think it's fine. The more obnoxious element is that the trailers used to start with the showtime, but now there's still five minutes of pre-show ads. So like a 7:50 show has the trailers starting in 7:55. Plus, minus a few showings here and there, I keep getting a random commercial for Airbnb or Pinterest or Samsung or whatever smack-dab in the middle of the previews. It's the dumbest thing ever and just makes the wait for the film way more taxing than it deserves to be. What's even the point of doing this kind of crap?

We still have a couple hours before the previews drop. Was curious to know what everybody got for trailers last night? My showing went like this: M3gan (though it was only like a 45-second cut of the trailer) John Wick 4 Knives Out 2 (kinda annoying that was in there, since that's only playing for a week and I wanted Creed or something idk idk) Mario Shazam 2 (I'm so done with this stupid trailer Four times in a row I've had to hear "I just threw a truck at a dragon. I love my life!". And that's not counting the 30 other times. Please WB, at least give us a new Shazam trailer. I can't take this anymore) Ant-Man 3 Avatar 2

Wanted to post this sooner, but it was 11 when I got home and I had to go to work in the morning. Anyways, general spoiler thoughts... -Shuri and Namor are for sure the best parts of the film. I love seeing them interact, I love their character arcs throughout the movie, and I feel this will convert a lot of naysayers who really hate Shuri as Black Panther. -The stuff with Namor was excellent. The actor had a couple off line readings here and there, but he was intimidating and I loved his backstory and character and his understandable motivations. He's no Killmonger, but he's still both a fun threat and an interesting figure. -Speaking of Killmonger, that was such an amazing surprise to see him in the ancestral plane. Was kind of perfect honestly to really show Shuri's conflict and understanding of who she is supposed to be. -Angela Bassett for the BOFFY. Fuck y'all -This sadly does have the classic MCU problem of "We're letting our directors have total control...but not too much! Need to set up crap for the other movies!". Riri's alright and I like the actress, but she feels kind of out of place in the story and the way she introduced is really rushed and sluggish. Feel like there was a better way to put her in the narrative if they had to introduce her for that spin-off show I'll never watch. -The stuff with Agent Ross was also a bit of a bore. Always fun to see JLD, but you didn't really need them either. -But honestly, this might be the best ending to a Marvel movie ever? The climax is absolutely epic, with the Shuri-Namor stand-off being absolutely amazing. Both in the raw energy between the two actors and the almost final blow, before Shuri realized they were two sides of the same coin. It's absolutely perfect. If anything, it elevates a good film to something great. -And yeah, those final moments are incredible. The Chadwick montage, the Rihanna song, and just seeing Prince T'Challa...just the perfect ending. -I really hope btw that this "Prince T'Challa" thing isn't a set-up for future movies and that he'll be the new Black Panther. I just want this to be a nice scene of closure and nothing more and having this be future set-up kind of robs it of its purity. That's sadly what they'll do though. 🙄 But yeah, great film. Chadwick would be proud.

Sigh...

How many times do we have to do this stupid "OH NOEZ THE TEST SCREENINGS ARE BAD. THIS IS THE WORST MOVIE EVER NOW WAHHHHHHHH" crap on this forum? How many times do I have to share this video to you guys every single time you lot have a meltdown over some kids movie? How long does it take for you guys understand the key word of TEST screening? So obnoxious and tiring.

I wish I could suffer such a horrible fate that...*checks notes*...Top Gun: Maverick recieved.

RT is trying to handle all the reviews coming in, and their servers aren’t great. Just take a breather, because it will all be clear and stable tomorrow

Are we MCU?????????

Moderation This convo's not going anywhere and is way off-topic. Time to move on.

That's nice. I find those flop bar posts annoying and they're an impetus for annoying meltdowns that this forum doesn't need. I don't like them, but I guess I can't stop them from happening or being posted here. Oh well.

We're still doing this schtick?

Moderation If you guys really want to do this premature dooming and glooming, I feel the weekend thread is more appropriate to take this convo.

Should be up soon. Showtimes are popping up around me. Previews start at 6. Thank goodness for a reasonable time
