Why would anyone be expecting something other than layoffs and more sequels in this environment? The hope was for Iger to make better sequels and distribute them better.
At this point it's probably become necessary to note that 24hr+B reception would suggest ~18-23 (point forecast 20.5)
And that is also pretty much also my read of (T-9 data | B CS).
However, still hoping we can avoid Eternals 2 FlopCU boogaloo
Not really, no. A comp being X at T-N doesn’t actually suggest the final preview will be X. I do sometimes feel like that being the main way data is displayed here can be a little misleading sometimes but there isn’t really a clean and convenient alternative so I get why it has (and will continue to) persist.
Scott says “no spoilers” but we are edging towards spoilers imo. I would advise no further speculation on this topic or oblique references to the leaks
Saga 2 is probably getting graded more harshly than saga 1 because it’s core conceit is very difficult to handle effectively. I think going multiverse will prove to be a humongous mistake, and not that surprisingly — there was really no need to play with this particular fire.
But at the end of the day we’ll always have Infinity Saga.
And hope for saga 3
Yeah, I mean, probably better long-term to have a bad movie with a good Kang introduction than a good movie except kang as a weak point.
But like, great movie with good Kang intro would have been pretty nice… 😅
