  1. You forgot to include Wonder Man, Vision Quest and a few animated shows.
  2. The Creator looked great and it was 80MM. What cost Marvel and Star Wars a lot of money is reshoot and actor/director premium pay. And probably cocaine and prostitutes for the execs.
  3. That was actually a joke, but I wouldn't be surprised if "life lessons" included that. If they really are making all these changes you can thank Ali as he was about to walk out of the clownshow.
  4. One thing they should do is get the budget under control. Every Marvel/Star Wars/Disney Live Action/WDAS/Pixar film is 200MM+. Meanwhile other studios have some animated gems with less than half the budget. I really don't know why the budget for these films are that high. 20th Century is the only one that has had a decent budget for their films sans Avatar and as you mentioned they either have been relegated to streaming fodder or their output has been subpar.
  5. Complaining or not it needs to be talked about. Marvel had a script where Blade was going to be about a group of women lecturing Eric and dude was going to be the fourth lead of his own movie. No wonder Ali was about to walk out.
  6. Agree. Scrap a lot of this garbage. Hurry up to Secret Wars and reboot. Lessons learned from these past few years. The big about Blade and the TV side is telling. I wouldn't let Feige slide either. He is the one who greenlit the ending of WV and didn't want Strange there because "the white man telling the woman and blah blah", but in this case it made perfect sense to have him there.
  7. Probably thinking they were untouchable and had the Midas touch no matter what they released.
  8. The only thing that dude is reliable on is when trailers are dropping. Everything else he's just guessing.
  9. I only saw the one where Rogue puts Captain Marvel in a comma to roaring cheers from the crowd. I high fived someone and left the theater after that, so I may have missed the other one.
  10. I don't think that's the reason it underperformed. I think the reason is the marketing was very misleading and the title was very misleading. I know I expected a full out Humans vs Apes war. And while I really enjoyed the movie it was definitely not what I expected. It also came out sandwiched between Homecoming and Dunkirk, which didn't help.
  11. While I think it makes 2024 that RT tweet is just sourcing the Deadline article which just mentions that Disney has options to move the movie to July, November, December. We don't know what Disney's plans are. And Marvel wouldn't skip 2024 because BNO is coming out next year. Skipping a year wouldn't be a bad idea though. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
  12. That's true. Thunderbolts is a bomba in the making. For comic aficionados like myself it's missing Norman Osborn and the gender swapped Fakemaster make the movie an automatic pass for me. They won't do it, but I say cancel it and get the write off. But then again I'm one of those who think Marvel Studios should cancel the majority of their announced projects given the current apathy towards them. Just hurry up to Secret Wars, reboot it and go back to what got you here in the first place.
  13. Not surprised. They had more than 50% to film to do + reshoots + VFX + Reynolds was just able to adlib/improv because of the writer's strike. That's the correct call. The original September date or Thunderbolts' December date are the best options.
  14. At this point we should hope it doesn't. They still have quite a bit left to film + post. Not enough time unless we want floating head VFX like Thor 4.
  15. She is divisive regardless of incels. And the divisiveness start hitting your bottom line that's when you want someone who appeals to everyone. It is what it is.
  16. Maybe you forgot to read who said that quote. It did not come from Marvel or anyone associated with them. It's from Joanna Robinson, one of the co authors of the book which has no association with Marvel or Disney. She's not wrong in what she said about Larson though. Love her or hate her she is a divisive figure unlike ScarJo or Lizzie.
  17. Probably 1B+ WW. That said the Spider-Man milking is getting to high levels. I feel people will get Spidered out at some point between Sony and all their planned live action spinoff movies and tv shows, a probable animated sequel trilogy to spiderverse, MCU Spider-Man, and the video games with a rumored Venom spin off game.
  18. We could go in detail for each of them but the main reason is that all of those movies (except DP3 obviously) came out prior to Ant Man 3, She Hulk and Secret Invasion which is where the conversation really took a turn for Marvel in the zeitgeist. I think if Marvels came out when Thor 4 came out and Thor 4 came out today Marvels would be fine but Thor 4 would bomb. We'll never know though. I may be wrong but I feel a Thor 5 will be a huge drop from Thor 4 because of how bad that one was.
  19. I'm gonna have to disagree with some of your points here. 1. Is it harder? Yes, but COVID only accelerated the transition. This is only a problem when a movie bombs. Plenty of movies have done well since 2020 2. "Weirdos with hate agenda against it for years because they are a bunch of racist who hate women" seem like a copout for the subpar products Marvel has been putting out which in turn have made the audience lose faith on the brand which shows in the financials. The phrase you used doesn't make sense. Seems like you're just spouting stuff for the hell of it. Racist, bigots, misogynist all in a short sentence. Maybe the reason for the flops is because the products have sucked and have not resonating with people as you allude to on your point about women preferring something like Barbie. 3. Ms. Marvel did flop, at least from the viewership numbers that were rumored. I did like part of that show, but other parts were horrible and the VFX sucked I will agree with the saturated market. I just looked it up and between Venomverse, DC, and Marvel we got in 2022 and in 2023. Probably tracking for a similar number in 2024. People will check out. I know I have and the SH CB fatigue is real to me. I will watch X-Men '97 and Deadpool 3 day 1. The rest maybe streaming at some point or maybe a 20 min summary on Youtube or Twitter. I feel like if Marvel is to turn it around then their BO #s for the foreseeable future (sans DP3) will probably have to be like the Phase 1/2 movies where it'll rely on WOM and have a bigger multiplier. I think in this case apathy is the worst thing. Anecdotally in my circle of friends and friends it used to be non stop love and hype for Marvel to it sucks and I hate it to not even talking about it anymore.
  20. I don't think McGuire and Garfield will be the main pull for that movie. We've seen them together with Holland on screen before. Not that the movie won't get hyped due to their presence, but Secret Wars will likely open huge regardlesss if they are there or not. I'll be really surprised if DP 3 does not pull a massive OW with all the rumors around that movie.
