Rewatches for this show are gonna be interesting. Endings either enhance the journey or make it pointless.

The only way we'll know if WB is satisfied is how quickly they green-lit and set a release date for the sequel

Don't need to hit where it hurts

I still remember their justification for JL's bad performance on OW https://deadline.com/2017/11/justice-league-opening-weekend-box-office-lower-thor-ragnarok-wonder-the-star-1202211094/

The backlash D&D are getting at least on twitter are from the same people who usually would defend Rian so yeah probably. At least as @captainwondyful said might take some of the heat the Russo Brothers have been getting on twitter. Couldn't believe the amount of hate they're getting on twitter.

Let's see what D&D have to say

So what is the justification in the show for Dany wanting to burn millions of civilians who had already surrendered? I'm not being snarky or anything I legit want to try and understand what the show was intending.

I'm not necessarily angry with the events that happened because no way was there gonna be an easy or happy ending but just the way they were portrayed and how poorly this season has handled the arcs of these characters makes this a terrible episode.

Infinity War works very hard to give him different layers and actual characterisation because his actions in the film are so horrific you don't need to work very hard to make him menacing and scary so the Russos and M&M focused elsewhere with the character. They knew the "evil" aspect of Thanos was gonna take care of itself.

It's why the Memorial Day Weekend releases from Disney always suffer IMO. Yes it hasn't helped by what films they choose to put on that date but it always feels that release is going to always be in the shadow of the May (now late April) MCU Film and the June Pixar film especially with Pixar focusing on sequels for the past couple of years.

They're awesome for different reasons. I personally prefer Endgame after watching it a 2nd time but definitely can understand why someone would prefer Infinity War. They do legit feel like two different films which you often can't say for two sequels that were filmed back to back.

This is why I'm very reluctant to use the word "locked" for such a high number.

Good luck to all the objections coming your way

Well true it ain't a flop or a disappointment for WB by any means. Though hopefully won't take 5 years to get a sequel (which has little to do with the first anyways) like Godzilla.

Around $500M WW is good but I wouldn't call it doing very well.

It's both a decent OW for Pika but also below BOT's expectations.

Expected for Pikachu heading for under $60M OW Marvel Saturdays coming to the rescue even though the overall 3rd Weekend drop will still be below expectations.

https://www.thewrap.com/agents-of-shield-season-6-avengers-endgame-marvel/ The company (Marvel TV) didn’t really know how “Endgame” was going to play out while “S.H.I.E.L.D” was shooting, or even when the new episodes would air. “It’s just the safest way for us to do things,” Marvel TV chief Jeph Loeb told reporters on Friday. “Just looking at it from a very practical place, which is, what the world looked like post-snap, [it] was not something we had seen yet. We were already shooting.” Additionally, Loeb didn’t want to burden “S.H.I.E.L.D.” with depicting what a post-“Endgame” MCU looks like, with “Spider-Man: Far From Home” coming up in a few months. “We don’t want to ever do something in our show which contradicts what’s happening in the movies. The movies are the lead dog. They’re setting the timeline for the MCU and what’s going on. Our job is to navigate within that world,” he said. “The only way for us to tell our story is to do them pre-snap. Whether or not you can figure out [how the timeline works], we’ll let ‘timelords’ figure out.” Co-showrunner Jed Whedon added that although they knew “a fair amount” of “Endgame’s” plot, “S.H.I.E.L.D.’s” air-date wasn’t set in stone when they were shooting. “If they moved us up by two months and we based our show on [‘Endgame’s’] storyline, then all of a sudden we’d burn down a huge story point for them,” he said. “So we had to dodge all of that.”

Partly why Captain Marvel had such a huge OW I feel was cause of the 8 Month gap between AMatW and Captain Marvel. While I definitely don't think Black Widow is making Captain Marvel numbers the 10 Month gap between FFH and Black Widow is definitely gonna have the GA ready for another MCU film. And I do feel people want more Black Widow content after Endgame than before. But we'll see I do think there's more to this movie that just Feige making up for lost time.

Also like isn't the point of test screenings so that you can have a chance to improve your film after feedback? The way test screenings are being paraded by these bloggers are implying the film has already locked picture and can't change even if responses are bad.

It's also the inherent difference between gaming and watching movies. Your own personal experience and the ability to be in some control of the narrative is something you simply can't replicate in movies. I also think the desire to see video games translated to film is far far less than wanting books to be adapted to film which obviously makes sense since games are already a visual medium while books aren't.

I just realized the finale is gonna air at the same time as my graduation

The future is good for DC. WW84, The Batman, Aquaman 2 are all guarantee hits. Suicide Squad 2 and Black Adam have good chances to be massive and Birds of Prey should be very solid. It's a shame a future Justice League film is still awhile away (I think it comes around the same time Marvel will be ready for Avengers 5) but DC has so much untapped potential it's hard to kill it off with a couple of poorly received films.

Aladdin should have been a slam dunk so I don't blame Disney for spending $175M on budget. Certainly makes more sense than Dumbo's budget.

Sounds like another certain set of two films.
