Black Panther will always be my fave. That's the film that kids today will consider their Star Wars. Quote me on that.

But Guardians 2 is one of their best movies though what the h*ck

Maybe I should fly and visit Tele now that I think about it. 🤔

Precisely. No Lord of the Rings, no Austin Powers, and so on.

Hot take but 4 is the worst. The third movie at least had some fun side characters while the fourth movie is literally nothing.

I think it will be like November 2016 where you had Doctor Strange, Fantastic Beasts, and Moana basically grossing in the same low-200s range. Then it'll be a fight between Trolls 2 and Wish on which film will gross the same as Trolls and which one will gross as Arrival. Should be a very exciting and fun month regardless what happens.

Have Timothee voice the next Disney Prince. Then we'll talk.

Wait, she was in the first Pirates movie?

Samuel L. Jackson is one ahead. Three ahead if you include Jurassic Park and Phantom Menace.

Maybe you don't need to see the other Ant-Man movies, but does the average moviegoer who doesn't watch/only seen a couple Marvel movies know that? And would they really care enough to go if they aren't into Marvel all that much? Like this whole series is so insular and there are so many Marvel movies now that it can still give the perception that seeing any sequel will require tons of homework. So if I'm a boring casual person who only saw some of the Avengers movies, what hook is there for Ant-Man 3 that will make me want to care and how will I know that I don't need to do as much homework? Because I know I will still have to watch a few of these movies first. Almost every new Marvel movie will have the same uphill battle regardless if the movie itself needs it or not and I don't think there's much for a GA/casual fan to get invested in to see things individually now.

COME AND GET YOUR LOVE Isn't it crazy to think 2014 was nine years ago? It felt like only yesterday we were panicking over a potential pandemic and were trying to argue with the pigs that Black Lives Matter, pro-democracy protests were happening in Hong Kong, and Russia was seizing Ukraine....onnnnnnnnnly yesterday. And in 2014, Marvel was having a massive banner year. One that's kind of insane even now to think about. Andrew Garfield was playing Spider-Man in a shared universe that was totally going to happen, X-Men was saved forever with Days of Future Past, The Winter Soldier gave us too many Stucky fanfics to count, Big Hero 6 combined Disney magic with Marvel goodness. But craziest of all, the biggest Marvel movie of that year wasn't any of the heavy-hitters. Rather, it was a superhero team that most people never even heard of before going into seeing the film. Guardians of the Galaxy frankly felt like a breath of fresh air. James Gunn's cynical, sardonic edge led to a film with wacky characters, fun cosmic visuals, witty comedy, and an epic 80s soundtrack right in the middle. It was unlike anything else for the genre, while also reminiscent of films we loved from before. And people quickly took notice. Sure enough, the weirdo film with a talking tree and raccoon opened to major box office numbers and sexy legs, with even non-Marvel fans getting on board with the funky jams and wild rhythms. And almost overnight, Guardians of the Galaxy went from this weird, niche property only Marvel superfans recognized to one of the pillar properties in Marvel's portfolio. One of their top 10, arguably top 5 brands. This would of course continue with the massive success of Volume 2, numerous appearences in other Marvel media, and major roles in the newest Avengers and Thor adventures. By this point, you can't go anywhere without seeing Chris Pratt in your face. Whether that's a good thing or not is up to you. And now we're at the point where we have to say goodbye...even though movie franchises never actually get to say goodbye ever because of nostalgia. Yep, after James Gunn lost his job, then got it back, and a whole pandemic happened, we are finally getting our third proper Guardians of the Galaxy movie, a mere seven years since the last one, because we are old. Of course, now that superhero fatigue is upon us and people have grown exhausted by this genre being in our face 24/7 and Phase 4/5 being a neverending onslaught of content for content's sake, the excitement is quite muted for this film. But this should still be a fun weekend and we need to set some rules in advance, since I know some of you won't help yourself. 1. ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS. NOT EVEN SPOILERS POSTED UNDER SPOILER TAGS. This rule also applies to other movies in theaters and films/shows recently released on streaming. So no Mario spoilers, no Evil Dead Rise spoilers, no Succession spoilers, no Peter Pan and Wendy spoilers, etc. If you do spoil something here, you will be banned. No exceptions. We do have a spoiler thread for Guardians 3 right here for you to go nuts in. 2. GOOD VIBES! Big weekends like these are supposed to be fun. So don’t be a party pooper and ruin things for everybody. You don't have to fight others who are negative on Marvel movies. You don't have to fight others who are ultra positive on Marvel movies. It's all just silly fun, so don't make it something it's not. 3. THE REPORT AND IGNORE BUTTONS ARE YOUR FRIENDS. 4. IS OFF-TOPIC DISCUSSION OKAY? Off-topic discussions are okay in situations where there's downtime and there aren't any numbers, so long as they don’t get heated. But when numbers are coming up and things are getting busy, then keep off-topic things down to the minimum. And lastly... 5. DON'T BE A DICK. So now... WITHOUT FURTHER ADO LET'S DO THIS SHIT

Also @Kalo and @TalismanRing remember to PM me your lists if you want them to count. If you forget, then your list will be ineligible.

Okay party people, we are officially one month away from the due date before you guys can be allowed to submit your list. Remember that you have to have a list of either 10 movies, 25 movies, 50 movies, 75 movies, or 100 movies. You don't want to miss an amazing opportunity that is once in a lifetime, and I know you all want your favorites to land. So try and get it to me before June 4 or else. @21C@35MM-18@3jp@4815162342@75Live@8wombi7@A Star is Orm@abra@abracadabra1998@AdrianL@Alex

Hotter take - Joker 2 is the second-biggest movie of the year, only behind Avatar. It does have an uphill battle with superhero fatigue and the lack of novelty and moral panic hype, but it's also being offset by having one of the biggest movie stars front and center as Harley Quinn, you know Gaga's got some bangers, and I think the musical angle could actually breathe some life to the stagnant genre. As long as it delivers the same goods as the first (well, maybe not "goods", but has the stuff people inexplicably liked in that first movie), we could see something special.

Okay.

Plus are we really going all "grr critics bad" on a movie with an 80% on Rotten Tomatoes? In what universe is that a bad rating?
