I never said anything as bad as what you said yet I got 4 warning points
Well next time if you see an offensive post, you should hit the Report button. I always try to do my best to check every potentially ugly thread, but sometimes thing slip through the cracks. I do have a life outside this place after all. Reporting on stuff makes things way easier on the staff. Because yeah, Claire posting that is offensive and violates rules. But how will I know she posted that unless you tell me?

Moderation
By the way we are done with this whole sexist nonsense of “MARVEL IS FOR MEN” and “WOMEN NEED A LOVE INTEREST”. This garbage wasn’t funny when The Marvels came out and it’s certainly not funny now. Continue further and you will see a thread ban.

They didn't even give Captain Marvel any love interest lol
Cause they were afraid and wanted it to be unique for no reason
Captain Marvel will be studied by Film enthusiasts about how to mess it all up
Forever hate Kevin Feige for this. Marvel fanboys are very kind to him
lol chill out dude

Ppl downplaying the influence of the 2000s X-Movies are wild. If it hadn't been for them, it would've just been Spidey and the situation would have been the same as WB/DC for the longest time where studio execs felt only 1-2 characters (Batman and Superman) were viable
This! Like without X-Men's influence, there's no Fantastic Four or Daredevil. Which hey, they were hits at the time, even if they weren't the greatest. Marvel Comics wouldn't be out here realizing the stable of heroes they had and wouldn't go independent. And again, Kevin Feige got his start with the X-Men movies. Without those movies, would he be at Marvel Studios in the first place? That's a legit query right there.

yeah people act like that first X-Men movie was some huge influential hit. I mean, I don't know we already had Blade in 1998, and Spider-Man was already in development and came out just two years later. X-Men did decently for its budget but it barely outgrossed stuff like Scary Movie and What Lies Beneath
X-Men more than doubled Blade's box office. And despite the attempts at making things "grounded" and "realistic", the X-Men movies were far more identified and promoted by their Marvel branding than the Blade movies ever were. If anything, Blade was advertised less on the Marvel brand and more on just being a Snipes action movie. Plus, the first X-Men came out at a time when the only superhero movie character making any sort of money was Batman. And even then, we were post-Batman and Robin. By this point, superhero movies were completely dead. I don't really see why we're downplaying one of the biggest hits of the year. A movie that, at that time, had the sixth biggest opening in box office history.
Now I'm not saying it was the main impetus why Marvel became as big as it was. Spider-Man was a guaranteed hit no matter what. But it certainly did a lot to make Marvel popular and cool with today's kids. Hell, the first X-Men was Kevin Feige's first job. You can argue that these movies could have grossed more, but without X-Men, we literally wouldn't even have The Avengers or Avengers-level hits. So there.

I could definitely see it I'll go up to 99. Don't think itll hit 100 but it's going to be close
Well if it only reaches 99, I guess Ryan Reynolds is out of a job. How sad.

I can't wait to see people on "Film Twitter" be massively upset that this movie will overtake the domestic gross of Oppenheimer.
As irrevelant as they are (never take them seriously), I'm almost certain there will be someone on that website that will declare "cinema is dead" because the Minions made more money than a Christopher Nolan movie.
Nobody on Film Twitter will care mate.

Inflation is extremely overrated
What about change in movie going habit and the medium of entertainment increasing??
OTT is far far more bigger worldwide right now then in 2019.
So saying 500m in 2019 is 600m today is bit misleading in hindsight. I could be very well wrong but when judging movie performance, Inflation is wrong method
Roughly 80% of the time I see people bring up inflation here, it's typically just trying to downplay a movie's success or just to instigate a fight. Obviously the metric isn't totally invalid, but I do often feel like I have to sideeye people when they bring it up. It was especially annoying back in 2019 when Marvel nerds and Cameron nerds were trying to use inflation to dog on each other's movies, even though Endgame and Avatar were both objectively massive hits.

Deadpool only dropping about 50% despite summer weekdays shows WOM is clearly through the roof.also people mentioning MoM reminded me of how the rules of the multiverse seems to change with each movie. Didn’t they say in that movie that when you dream you dream of your other multiverse self and if you go into another universe you could cause its destruction or something? Makes no sense.
When it comes to science fiction mumbo jumbo in movies, it's just best to smile and nod and let it happen.
