Your trolling is getting sloppy. This is literally a cut-and-paste of a previous post. By the way...The entire MCU ouvre is a beautiful love letter to Richard Donner's Superman (minus the heart, the soul, and the actual wonder). LOL Now, keep fapping to pictures of Jlaw in her last three flops. How is her career going, by the way?

You are just being callous on purpose (and I could dismiss any of the scenes you mention with a "meh, what's so emotional about those?" But I won't): Diana leaves Themyscira; the moment when she says goodbye to her mother is incredibly sad and poignant Antiope's sacrifice to save Diana's life Diana leaves Themyscira; the moment when she says goodbye to her mother is incredibly sad and poignant No Man's Land was simply an iconic moment in modern cinema that neither you or anyone can deny it; everybody who praises it raves about how emotionally resonant and powerful it was The death of Steve Trevor was a tear-jerker as well as the moment when Diana spares Dr. Poison's life when she recalls Steve's words about humanity being good. The Trafalgar Square celebration scene was an absolute tearjerker And 'cheesy'? MCU fan calling other films cheesy is sooooo IRONIC.

AntMan2 is at 28 million now? That's a 62 % decrease from its OW. Hmmm, I suspect this won't rebound like SMH. What's good for other films is good for this. If other films drop on this level and are immediately deemed "WOM flops," whyc can't this one? Doesn't seem like audiences are loving this or that WOM is stellar.

Because it's the MCU. People always want to spin it into gold when the MCU underwhelms. Imagine what will happen when they get their first full-fledged, undeniably tanking flop. If Wonder woman1984 or Shazam had the kind of second weekend this is having, the last word they would use is "doing aight." Double standards...

Scarjo was, is, and continues being trash, and I am 100 % sure that this has nothing to do with her non-existent ethics. Marvel "advised" her to drop the role. After two high-profile flop films (Rough Night, Ghost in the Shell), Scarjo was not exactly a hot commodity, and MCU brand loyalty or not, the last thing Marvel need is continued bad buzz and badwill over Scarlett's callousness. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

LOL!!!! She could play ALL of the boys. She is that talented...and since she is such a big draw, you know... Now seriously...how much you wanna bet that they create a fictional white character just for the film (a character that is either an investigator or a DA or a reporter...something really substantial, just to cast a big American star and have them be "the eyes" of the audience. Ugh.)...

Black Widow | July 9 2021 | ScarJo secures the bag from Disney

Maybe Jlaw could play Yelena Belova. That way she could wink-wink at her Red Sparrow fans... -
Futurist dislikes any movie that is a) not MCU or b) does not star JLaw simply because they are not MCU or don't star Jlaw. That's just how Futurist rolls. Also, he simply cannot respect any action blockbuster that is not as generically bland or predictable as the latest rent-a-film from the House of Feige.

They better cast Idris Elba as Natasha. -
Shazam! | April 5, 2019 | 21st Most Profitable Film of 2019
StevenG replied to Neo's topic in Box Office Discussion
I never said that 200 million would not be fantastic. I just feel that the premise has lots of potential to capture audiences beyond the typical CBM crowd. No, I don't think it will make BP money...but I could see a scenario in which it makes Wonder Woman money. -
Shazam! | April 5, 2019 | 21st Most Profitable Film of 2019
StevenG replied to Neo's topic in Box Office Discussion
It has been said before, but I really think that the premise of this film (pretty much Big Meets Superman) has the potential to make it the biggest domestic DCEU film yet. If families take to this, its domestic box office will be bigger than Wonder Woman most likely. -
2002 We all what the biggest story that year was, at least in terms of big-budget studio pictures, right? An ordinary teenager found himself in extraordinary circumstances, learning about power and responsability, and taking audiences for an unforgettable spin. 2002 was also the year that gave us one of the leggiest films of all time (which also gave a shot-in-the-arm to the romcom genre, becoming in fact the highest grossing romantic comedy of all time...(still has not been dethroned), and also gave us a thrilling movie musical that captured moviegoers' attention as well as the attention of the Academy Awards. Oh, and a rapper actually had a hit record with a rap song that went on to win the Best Original Song Oscar... Oh, and Jodie Foster unofficially became an action heroine...

To be honest, although the film was awful indeed, and the soundtrack was one of her less inspired works, 911 (which took place exactly ten days before Glitter opened) truly "stole the thunder" of everything related to entertainment that year. Unless your name was Enya (whose fifth album A Day Without Rain actually sold incredibly well [16 million copies worldwide, her biggest album still] thanks partly to how the news media used "Only Time" in most of the 911 reports as an unofficial anthem of the tragedy and the healing post-9110), people were not having it with your silly movies, records, and TV shows. The collective spirit of the country was not in the mood for anything...
