    I'm not sure it's quite so barren as all that. I bet both Echo and Skeleton Crew get pushed back to 2024 because of the strike (and Echo probably ends up being a weekly release). They've also finished shooting on The Acolyte, Ironheart, and Agatha, right? So those should all be on deck for 2024 (assuming Ironheart and Agatha can release without another round of reshoots, never a safe bet with Marvel). Plus they have that Percy Jackson show that shot ages ago. Not saying any of those are of any interest to you personally, but it's probably second half of 2024 before Disney+ starts feeling the pipeline issues at the earliest.

     

    I can only speak for myself, but I'm not sure you listing those shows changes the narrative. I'll give Skeleton Crew a chance because of Watts, but all I've read about it sounds like I'm not the demographic for it. Agatha, Echo, Ironheart will find an audience like Ms. Marvel, but it's not something that will change directions. Out of those I'm only half interested in Agatha, but you can't really do a whole show about Agatha, so Wanda has to be there. Maybe introduce Selene.

     

    Furthermore if someone doesn't like the Star Wars or Marvel Universe then you just reiterated the service is pretty barren for them.

     

    EDIT: I should also say that Disney+ is coming up on 4 years as a service. Waiting for the second half of 2024 - when the service will be 5 years old - for them to fix the pipeline issues is not something most people are willing to do. I remember the same pipeline narrative would be addressed in Fall 2021/Spring 2022 yet here we are.

  2. I honestly think I will only watch 3 movies in the movie theaters in 2023. Ant Man 3, Guardians 3 and Indy 4 (there have only been 3 Indiana Jones movies to date). If Rogue is in Captain Marvel 2 and she is not race swapped then I will watch that too. Maybe I'm part of the problem but my days of watching 2-3 movies in the theaters a week and watching every new release is over.

     

    Anyways, predictions (assuming no China for Marvel movies):

     

    Ant Man 3 - 300MM DOM, 700MM WW

    Guardians 3 - 400MM DOM, 850MM WW

    Marvels 3 - 350MM DOM, 725MM WW

    Spiderverse 2 - 250MM DOM, 550MM WW

    Kraven - 125MM DOM, 275MM WW

    Shazam 2 - 175MM DOM, 375MM WW

    Aquaman 2 - 300MM DOM, 800MM WW

    Blue Beetle - 200MM DOM, 400MM WW

    John Wick 4 - 220MM DOM, 450MM WW

    Indy 4 (yes Indy 4) - 400MM DOM, 900MM WW

    I have two things to say on this. Cameron did not need to bite the hand that feeds him. Especially when Zoe Saldana has played a very important part in the MCU while he was still trying to figure out what to do for this film.

     

    Like im not sure you realize how big DB is (and I know the decision is made for a Japanese audunces) when Dragon Ball Super was airing the fight between Goku and Jiren there were massive block parties all over Latin American countries of people watching it. Heck, there was a strip club in Mexico that was offering free lapdances if Goku won.  My point is if the audience is big and/or rabid enough they won't care.

     

    Ps. Heaven help us if Disney does have the live action film rights to DB.

     

     

     

    Cameron knows that he's the golden ticket for this franchise (similar to Feige and Marvel) even if he knows that Disney owns the IP. There's no one else that could take this franchise to the level that Disney wants (i.e. popularity and merch level of other Disney owned franchises) than Cameron. He knows it, Chapek knows it, we know it, everybody knows it. Jim has reached carte blanche status and outside of some Weinstein level scandal he's good to go.

    I hate that pretending to be angry about Disney and “woke Hollywood” has become a lucrative business model. 

     

    Not sure what can be done though. People who agree with it will click it and have their feelings validated. People who disagree with it will click to see what they are talking about.

     

    Whether it's fair or not it's much, much easier to grow your channel and make money this way than the New Rockstars, Emergency Awesome, etc way.

    Anyone heard of "Valliant Renegade" on Youtube?

     

    The guys seems like a big time racist and sexist. He's seeming to build the same anti-BPWF campaign that we saw with Rings of Power. And those on his channel making comments are worse. Be prepared!

     

    Yes.

     

    Every Sony movie that bombs he claims they are not really a bomba because of the Netflix deal.

    He keeps manipulating data all the time to fit his narrative and argument. Anyone can pick and choose certain data to fit their narrative. He does that a lot. (as they say statistics are like a bikini. What they reveal is suggestive. What they conceal is vital). 

    He kept saying MoM was a bomba until it became mathematically impossible to keep that going

    He was saying BP was going to do Thor 4's numbers (i.e. 750MM worldwide). Not sure if he's changed his tune recently

    He kept quoting the wrong number Disney has to pay Comcast for Hulu

    All Disney+ shows are bombas

     

    Basically it's an anti Disney channel. To be fair though in this day and age though it's very easy to get clicks by being anti Disney in general. Geeks and Gamers, Valliant Renegade, nerdrotic etc all get a shitload of views, on each anti Disney video they post. Nerdrotic, Critical Drinker, and a few others had so many She-Hulk videos it got to the point of almost being satirical, but each one of those videos got tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of views. That's very easy revenue.

    Every Disney film I've seen this year has stunk.

    Phase 4 is pretty bad outside of Spider-Man 3. Okay Shang Chi was good and Black Widow wasn't terrible. 

    But the other 3 films....ooh boy.

    Pretty much have given up on there shows while watching Moon Knight (couldn't even finish it), no plans on watching anything after that except Loki.

    I have no expectations at this point for this film.

    And Captain Marvel 2 will be the first MCU film I'm not watching. 

    Boy how the mighty has fallen.

     

    Goes to show you how opinions differ. Black Widow was absolutely terrible to me. Bottom 5 MCU. MOM was pretty damn good IMO and I enjoyed it more than NWH.

    Let's take a look at the two biggest movies that will close out 2022. 

     

    Black Panther Wakanda Forever - release date Nov 11 

    Jul 23: Official teaser trailer is released 2 min 11 sec

    Oct 3: Official trailer is released 2 min 10 sec

    Oct 11: character posters released 

     

    Avatar The Way of Water - release date Dec 14-16

    May 9: Official teaser released 1 min 37 sec

    Sept 23-Oct 13: Avatar is re-released generates $74.7 million - includes (3) different post credit scenes

    + LEGO/McFarlane Toys/Graphic Novels already announced 

     

    I think the Avatar hype train will start to ramp up big time the second BPWF is released, that's where Disney/20th Century will focus.

    Disney also has to release the first teaser trailer for Ant Man 3 soon since that's just 4 months away. My guess is both that and Avatar 2 official trailer release by the first week of November.
