The Disney Thread | Iger will be with us until 2026
YourCake replied to A Marvel Fanboy's topic in Box Office Discussion
My gut tells me that Disney higher execs and the boards made the decision a long time ago when Chapek claimed they "don't need China market", not to mention the media also reported that somehow Zaslav managed to meet Feige in order to lure him to DC. I guess even Zaslav knew Chapek is no better than him and Disney has to face a lot of unnecessary drama thanks to Chapek's decisions -
Indeed, I love the rawness of the fights in this film, the fight scene on the bridge is my favorite, I could easily feel the brutalness of it when I first watched it at the theatre, I was afraid that Attuma would kill Okoye at any moment. The last time I saw this kind of fighting was probably ...Winter Soldier. Arguably they can't have a big battle because there aren't many soldiers left, the other tribes didn't want to join, M'baku was forced to do it so he quickly gathered some, Nakia was just there to protect the last living member of her late husband's in-law family. And I don't think Shuri would expect the remaining soldiers and the midnight angels got beaten by Talokani that fast tho.

To be fair, I think the most important thing that helped the Marvel franchise succeed is the very fact that they already lost their A-list properties (Spiderman, Xmen, Fantastic Four) to other studios, which is why they had to work from the ground and created the kind of characters that modern audience wanted to see and could easily connect with. I bet that Marvel would be drunk on their high horse and make the same mistakes as DC/WB if they had their "A-list champions" at first.

Agree, I think Gunn's tweets about that subject are a very nice and polite way to say "move on", what true DC fans (not including that *guy* fans, I don't expect that from them) need is to appreciate and support the future of the franchise and the upcoming projects, not to mourn for the rest of their lives. That infamous twitter movement really set a bad example, it's like a bogeyman that haunted the DC franchise

Well, in the past weeks I already saw some Redditors make some jokes that it would be hilarious af if The Rock counts on China market to save Black Adam, only for China to give him the middle finger and releases Marvel films instead -

Disney will make a clear statement, and I doubt that those who said "Disney won't do it" would care or know that. Similar to how Simu tried to damage control on Weibo by declaring that he's Chinese nevertheless and will always remember and support his homeland yada yada, I doubt that even his loyal Westerner followers on Twitter knew he did it, otherwise they would unfollow him already. Both Jujutsu Kaisen and MoM are dead cases but hopefully, Thor 4 and other Marvel films won't get affected. -

Oh dear, this sounds hopeful, does this mean Disney can resolve this by sending an edited version where they can delete all these cult name/logo etc. It's just an object, I think they can even delete that street sign out of existence. -

Please keep updating the real news from Weibo/China @Issac Newton @Bruce @Olive I think they will make a statement too. If a gigantic brand such as Nike can do it then Marvel has no point in not doing it. Ego won't give people food and money after all. -

Lmao I hope Disney makes a statement about this, it's just a coincidence, they filmed that scene on the real street of New York, and there is just a lot of ... garbage on the street, you know, and it's not like all of them speak/understand Chinese, to begin with. They might think it was just random Chinese texts that were written by some random American Chinese. Disney gave zero F about the Tibets, why would they care about some random cult? -

Just saw this on weibo, damn this is beautiful, Chinese Marvel fans are celebrating Endgame anniversary, whatever happen they still support Marvel nevertheless. Whoever said Disney should abandon China market and Marvel Chinese fans are freaking crazy. https://s.weibo.com/weibo?q=I love you three thousand&topic_ad= -

Yeah, I've read similar things on Weibo, some even said the local bureau knew DC films won't make much anw even in the normal time so they just allow them to release there. And especially with the real Avatar coming, the cheap copy of Avatar's design concepts (aka. Aquaman) won't make much of a difference for DC overall. But tbh I think China and Marvel will eventually reconcile anw, similar to how China banned Avatar in its first run but they resolved their relationship later on.
