That's it pack it up folks, we got the data we needed

Trying to maneuver my group of friends into setting a date that works for everyone to go see this on OW

Regardless of how positive Ms.Marvel's reception was, or how she was the best part of the movie (which I agree with), the fact remains that a lot of people thought that watching Ms.Marvel before watching The Marvels was required viewing, and they hadn't seen it, and decided to skip the movie. That hurts the movie. Marvel's decision to make TV shows required viewing is backfiring massively on them. Just to give you an example, my brother and his wife watched every single marvel movie until the TV shows started coming in. We went to theaters to watch them, every time, you can't say they're not "fans enough". But they have a kid, they're busy, they have to select what they watch more than before, and those TV shows Marvel are putting out, well, they're coming out faster than they can watch them. They watched WandaVision, Loki, and a few others, but they can't keep up. So for the first time since 2015 my brother and his wife skipped a marvel movie, because they haven't seen Ms.Marvel (or Secret Invasion either). Who knows when they'll have time to watch those. And these are pretty big fans of the MCU we're talking about. They're always excited for a new Marvel movie. I know it's anecdotal but imagine how worse it is for the GA Now you see why The Marvels flopped. It has nothing to do with the quality of Ms.Marvel. It has everything to do with the fact that it is required viewing in the eyes of many, and many skipped it for various reasons, and oh wow guess what... they skip that one too

The internet in 2024: Bandwagons. Bandwagons everywhere

WandaVision was good, cast has got me curious, surely it can't be worse than the last one So yeah, cautiously optimistic

You can't use the numbers for anything except gauge whether there is hype, or there isn't. These trailer views means that there is certainly at least some sense of hype, somewhere. Will it blow up? Who knows, but the potential is there

For now I think this will do around Deadpool2 numbers but this could easily blow up. Hard to predict.

I'll take a good story with bad green screen over a garbage story with great CGI any day of the week

There is room for costly TV shows but it has to justify itself. It has to be an event, it has to be worth it, and they can't rewrite half of it in the middle. For instance, had Eternals been a TV show, a massive $220M budget would 100% have made sense. Falcon and the Winter Soldier though? Where did the hell did the budget go? CGI on shades of grey? They have to plan these things better, and this is a step in the right direction

Jessica Henwick is awesome and by far the best part of Iron Fist so I hope that if they go forward with this, it's with her as the lead

Disney Reportedly Still Considering She-Hulk Season 2 Despite Lead Actor's Comments https://www.cbr.com/disney-reevaluating-she-hulk-season-2-mcu/ How blind are they to the current situation they're in right now with the MCU to even CONSIDER releasing a 2nd season of this? If they do willingly produce and release a 2nd season of that show... That means they really learned absolutely nothing from 2023, and the MCU is headed toward total obsolesce.

why Hollywood was never in the habit of paying their screenwriters the millions that go into actors will never cease to make my mind go numb the script is always literally the single most important part of a movie, and yet it's so often written by underpaid amateurs backed by studio writers which results in a chaotic mess. Baffling Well at least that's not what happened here!

I agree with your post in general but at the same time they can't really "wait and see" forever. Movies have to be written. They have to enter pre-production. They have to be filmed, and then go into post-production. All of this takes about 2 years from start to finish. You can't just wait forever. Waiting for 2025 to see what sticks before choosing where they're going next means nothing will be released in 2016 and possibly 2017 too. That is simply unacceptable for a public company with shareholders. It's not going to happen, basically.

Rogue was shafted so much in the X-Men movies. She is a great character that has immense potential. She's supposed to have a playful relationship with Gambit, fly around and just generally be proactive and really involved in things, not whatever the hell the X-Men movies made her to be. Hopefully they do her right this time around.

That's.... actually not a bad idea at all. It would simply be a logical continuation to the events happening in Doctor Strange 2, and Loki was the most popular MCU show anyway so it makes sense he would play a key role. The only issue is that this needs Dr.Doom (Secret Wars can't be made without Doom, that would be just extra dumb), and he hasn't been introduced yet, and he needs to be for it to work. edit: it's also doubly working because with the Multiverse, most people are criticizing the story for having no consequences. Multiverse = anything can happen, so it's boring. Well this storyline would affirm: Things HAVE consequences, Wanda and Strange messed up with the Multiverse in DS2 and now wwe have 2 universes fighting and it's happening only because of their actions. Consequences... which the MCU sorely needs right now.

As a Wanda stan I approve of this message

Nobody cares about Kang Loki Season 2 handles all of that really well anyway. Marvel, get rid of this guy, and do something people actually want to see this time around Don't recast Kang. Don't do Kang. It's over.

Btw just saying but The Marvels hasn't ended its run yet. Disney have chosen not to report them but eventually numbers will trickle in. So it's not final yet. It should end its run just after new years, normally.

I still can't believe they never realized that Thor + Captain Marvel in the same movie would have been great. Both are cosmic side of the MCU, they have great chemistry together, it would have done very well at the box office. Likely like Thor 4 + a boost due to the team-up

Well this was equally as good as the first season. Marvel have some quality consistency issues lately but certainly not with Loki Ke Huy Quan and Owen Wilson are so good. 8/10

Fallout First Look: This Is How the World Ends—With a Smiling Thumbs-Up https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/11/fallout-first-look Showrunners: Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy (known for Westworld) Starring: Ella Purnell, Arron Moten, Walton Goggins Synopsis: The world has lived a nuclear apocalypse and as far as people underground know, was (and probably still is) a nuclear wasteland. Hundreds of years after the nuclear war, and with no contact with the outside world, a crisis forces Lucy (Ella Purnell) to venture above her secure nuclear vault on a rescue mission. She finds that the planet above remains a hellscape crawling with giant insects, voracious mutant animal “abominations,” and a human population of sunbaked miscreants who make the manners, morals, and hygiene of the gunslinging Old West look like Downton Abbey. Apparently takes place a few years after Fallout 4 and is a new story, not a direct adaptation of a Fallout game per se. No trailer yet. I mean this looks dope. Let's hope the writing is good

Yeah that's what worries me about Waldron. You have an ongoing universe here that's filled with moving parts and has been since 2008. You can't just drop everything you don't like about it. Doing so leads to a Last Jedi + Rise of Skywalker repeat.

So real question here: After both the Russos and the Infinity War/Endgame writers made a massive dud in the form of Gray Man... would you want them to return to direct Secret Wars (and possibly Kang Dynasty)?

Oh but you see, Kevin Feige is a completionist. After setting records of the "highest" type, he wants records of the "lowest" type. A commendable goal!
