This is very fair, you can and should watch anything with whatever mindset and expectations you want from them.
It’s just similar fair imo that some people might want to watch it as a part of a bigger cultural moment that is in crisis.
I don’t think they don’t get it what audiences like about these movies, it’s truly just another way of engage with art, it’s all valuable but for some reason always get in these “they’re stupid morons” area.
Yeah no you’re exactly right.
I think the best thing to do is for me to delete all social media and live in my own world to enjoy what I want 😂

No it's not. You're assuming bad faith for no solid reason.
Have you seen the guys tweets? He’s a popular film critic on the platform. His reaction is expected imo.

I’ve seen most of these people praising SHM before, i don’t think the problem is the genre.
Many of these short tweets is less about the movie itself and more about the implications of it, what it represents in modern cinema which is indeed dreadful, and i like these movies (overall). No movie exists in a vacuum so it’s very fair imo that the cultural and production aspects around it can be part of a review.
How long can you sustain an industry making movies that cares the most about throwing everything fans want in their faces? I do think there’s something interesting to create about it in movies, i don’t know if they did in this one because i’m watching on SAT, but conceptually it makes sense to question these things. You can see this discussion more clearly in the more lengthy reviews of the movie.
I think people gets mad at this type of opinions because they can’t accept that reviews always have personal opinions in them and usually includes outside factors in them. People praising it falls in the same category, but people accept it because it’s closer to what they want to hear. When it’s a bad review, most people want some neutral analytical texts that is just anti-criticism in it’s core.
Anyway, this is a bit too long than i would like, but i just think we should be able to read bad reviews or more cultural critical pieces and be fine with it, they’re not some personal attack neither should make you like it less.
I agree.
I guess I just see it as a Deadpool movie. Deadpool is what is it and it was marketed as such with rumours of big cameos, gore, silly jokes and all that.
‘The Death of Cinema’ talk is just hyperbole. Dune 2 made like 700 millions dollars, we’re fine lol.

I also blame the absence of free will every time someone has an opinion I don't like about something they've seen and I haven't.
What are you talking about? I’ve seen the film first of all.
That guy can whatever opinion he wants but his comment is hyperbole.

Like this is just hyperbole at this point.
Worst movie I’ve ever seen? These people are just looking for a reaction.
There’s a group of these film critics on Twitter that just sing from the same hymn sheet.

Guys, fucking WESLEY SNIPES!
Omg I wasn’t expecting it at all, incredible to see him back. Worth the price of admission as Blade again!
Film was good overall, I enjoyed it. I think
Marvel just wanted to please the fans with this one after recent flops. Worked on me lol. -

Jesus that is awful
-
This is all a bit dramatic.
The MCU is in a bad way but things change. Marvel Studios had a run that was never seen before, maybe people are just ready to move on.
-
Jesus what is the 2nd weekend going to be?
Definitely an unprecedented run happening here. Seems the audience are hungry for new stories and franchises. I know it’s based on IP but it looking fresh and fun is a big reason for its success after the overload of CGI superhero snorefests.- 3
-
People watched Infinity War without watching other Marvel films.
I don’t think you need to watch Wandavision and Ms. Marvel for this. Only if you want to see how they got their powers.

Looks fun, some nice shots in the trailer. Reviews will be important here.
There seems to be a lack of interest. I’d like to see the film do well but we’ll see.
-
Just outright rejection from audiences with The Flash.
I’m shocked tbh. Warner Bros probably thought this was gonna be a smash hit for them…
Gunn should be alright though. He’s a good filmmaker and I think he understands what people want from Superman/DC (also will have better CGI)
-
The most recent reviews on RT are fairly positive. Critically it’s not doing too bad.
Maybe word of mouth might help here.

Looks good.
I think Keatons Batman return is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here with all the nostalgia. The shots with the Batwing look great.

The ticket sales for this…jeez.
Just hope the film is good and strong WOM help it’s in the following weeks.
The MCU is just in a bad place atm. Not really getting people excited for the future.

Since I already posted it twice, I won't triple/quadruple post by making this comment in the D+ or Loki thread, but I now wonder just what this means for the marketing for Loki S2 as I understand Majors has at least some role in it. How, ahem, major of a role it is, I don't know given that I don't follow the MCU news all that closely.
Regardless though, I wouldn't want to be on the Disney PR team that has to crack that particular nut.
Yeah it will be really interesting with Loki 2.
I think that might just stick with Majors for release and maybe reshoot an ending with a new variant or whatever they call it.
Looks like Majors is done after the most recent reports, I wonder if they will stick with Kang or sort of jig things around.
I imagine we might see some major MCU delays anyway.

When you hit the heights of something like Endgame, it’s hard to recreate the magic.
Also to double down after something like Endgame with half assed movies and tv shows, just contributed to the MCU “demise” narrative.
Can they recover? Maybe but they will never reach Endgame levels again.
One thing I would do is scrap this Kang stuff and start again, Quantumania killed all the hype for this saga or whatever they call it.
Give us DOCTOR DOOM!

Wow the dislikes are crazy. The trailer is the most inoffensive, fun little preview for the film.

It looks promising. They are clearly marketing it as a straight up fun adventure with this body swap twist. Sort of refreshing imo. Whether it’s good now, we’ll see.
Also is it really a Captain Marvel 2? It’s called the Marvels and seems like all the main characters are getting to all share the focus, which is cool imo.
-
There is just a lack of hype for this.
I like the Guardians but after Endgame, you sort of just want to move on from all these sequels. Marvel is burning its audience out.
Also the quality issue, if there is any chance this gets mixed/negative and disappointing box office (I don’t think it will), I’m interested to see how Marvel respond if at all.

It's that the openers also skew more Mother's Day than an MCU movie...so, for example, Book Club 2 will likely get a big screen for its open vs a podunk 60 seater b/c people are gonna want somewhere to take mom and grandmom, and MCU raccoon family isn't normally it...
It's a holiday weekend that won't help GOTG3...so it's dropping the norm 60+, EVEN IF it opens in a subpar to its expectations way...
It all depends on how well received the movie is though.
I do expect a 60% drop but if it opens below expectations but is received well, it could surprise us.
-
I’ve got to agree. The marketing has been bad on this one.
No real hook with the trailers and they are not really selling it as the “final” Guardians movie as much as they should.
Not really making it a must-see event might help though, maybe it won’t the big 2nd weekend drop the last few Marvel films have suffered if WOM is good lol.

The bottom 7 are all Phase 4/5 movies lol.
Just shows the trend really.
-
To be fair, since Endgame the only MCU that hasn’t fallen over 60% in its 2nd week is Shang Chi.
It’s a trend that these movies are dropping in quality but maybe the franchise has just become more frontloaded too.
