The roblem with DS2 is they don't handle Wanda's arc/characterization well at all which is an issue when it's kind of the driving plot force of the whole movie. It's like 5 min of edits away from being an 8/10 since all the rest of the stuff (besides the plot core and emotional beats for the main antagonist) works pretty well.
Actually the way 808 treated variants was pretty dumb too but you could fix that in the same 5 mins of cutting. And america was pretty thin. All script issues. Making it the bottom MCU movie and bottom 2 projects alongside the other one written by Waldron.
I mean, they (tentatively seem to be headed towards) experiencing similar falls so similarly disappointing but at least you can point to the Chadwick tragedy.
Little over 450 probably. But yeah — you can have all the shows in the world and doesn’t mean people will be filing them at a favorable pace of exponential decay.
Mostly agree... but at xmas specifically i think this may be a little how it works? There is some background level of just people seeing things for the holidays and the business will shift around between offerings rather than totally dissappearing couchwards
Ehhhhh, I mean, the insane overhype didn't help. But it doesn't exist in a vacuum either. As a sequel the most natural reference point is always going to be the direct predecessor which would be coloring the numbers even if no one said a single thing about 2B+ in the past 13 years
