  1. It matters for the character. Peter's gone through this huge earth-shaking event that should have a profound impact on him as a person - it'd be pretty weird to just brush past that and have him quipping with the Avengers before we get a sense of where the character is at post NWH.
  2. Bo Rhap at least had enormous box office and people who saw it seemed to like it, even if the critics didn't. Babylon's audience score is 63% right now.
  3. Given how NWH ended, I think it'd be pretty strange to have Peter's next appearance be in an Avengers movie and not a solo movie. Spidey 4 coming out in 2024 seems pretty unlikely to me - seems they'd have to be filming by at least summer 2023 and that seems extremely quick given Holland hasn't even officially signed back on yet.
  4. Bones and All opening to $2.4m 3-day is just dreadful. X opened to $4.2m and Pearl opened to $3.1m with zero stars and far less hype than Bones. The Chalamet is a movie star discourse can probably pipe down a notch now.
  5. I could be way off, but I don't think has a strong enough visual or narrative hook to pull people in. The La La Land trailer told you exactly what you were getting and so did the WOWS trailer. These trailers don't have the same pop.
  6. This movie flopping is fascinating to me. The Rock can sell all kinds of dreck but he can’t sell DC IP? Is his star power finally waning?
  7. That profile where she tells a journalist off for quoting Bob as saying “gonna” instead of “going to” is so funny lol
  8. Giving Sam a whole Captain America movie makes zero sense to me. He's not even one of the more popular supporting characters.
  9. Is that really the new Big Three? I just don't see the fan investment for any of those characters there to make them pop. It should be Spiderman plus F4 (if they get the casting right).
  10. Ant-Man has had two movies plus an Avengers, Strange has had two movies plus key roles in the Avengers and NWH. I agree we should wait to see how other leads grow over time but Shang-Chi was the worst part of his own movie. I just don't see the passion there. Having a huge following online =/= selling a movie ticket and getting butts in seats.
  11. I think Marvel also has a lead character problem. People had an emotional attachment to RDJ and Chris Evans and Chadwick - I don't see that same investment for any of their leads now except Tom as Spiderman. Yes, Ant-Man 3 and Captain Marvel and Shang-Chi and Strange will make money - but is it going to endure past opening weekend? WF has shown that as strong as your supporting characters are, you need your lead there to be the anchor.
  12. Thank you - it's so embarrassing. Film Twitter is honestly the most annoying thing to happen to the industry.
  13. I feel like the Marauders prequel is the correct way to go. Still has the Hogwarts link, obviously close link to Harry, many of the HP characters like Sirius, Lupin and Snape are in it so there's familiarity.
  14. Would BP2 have opened bigger if Chadwick was still alive? Opening under DS2 given how huge the first BP was feels underwhelming.
  15. I find it odd they're not warming up with a starter Avengers movie first to establish character dynamics and relationships. None of the characters would have even met before Kang Dynasty before being thrown into the messy plot. It would be like starting the last saga with Infinity War.
