Everyone knows what's coming next weekend and are wisely keeping their wallets closed for now.

Wow, you know it's bad when even one of the big actors is throwing the movie under the bus and straight up admitting it's shit. How bad was the Wiseman Cut?

Take this with a grain of salt, but some word is going around the movie: This guy posted a picture of said pins later on in the thread as evidence. Personally I believe this. You don't push back a movie like this by 15 months unless something is seriously wrong with it and it needs to essentially be remade. I wonder if anything from that first trailer is going to make it into the final movie.

Speaking of which, some major shots from the movie have seemingly been leaked online, so you might want to be careful browsing the web going forward.

There is still one remaining mystery yet to answer:

This has been painfully obvious from the start of Zaslav's reign. He never wanted to keep Warner for the long haul. It's a classic pump-and-dump scheme. Gut as much content left over from the previous regime to reduce debt, load whatever remains up with a bunch of big name first-look deals in order to make it look attractive to potential buyers, and then sell it off so that said deals won't be your problem anymore by the time they start providing results. That Mickey 17 delay suddenly looks a lot more insidious now, since by the time it finally is out the current regime might already be gone, akin to New Mutants.

Voldy being right here is pretty scary. I wonder if his Kraven rumour is true as well, and if it really will get moved up to Bad Boys 4's spot.

I think it's far more likely that the current Warner suits don't understand the movie at all, and have no idea what to do with it, irrespective of the movie's actual quality. Remember, these are the same executives who thought The Flash was one of the best movies of all time.

CERTIFIED AFTER JUST ONE HOUR! DESERT POWER!!!

Erlich's review utterly destroyed its Metacritic score, since negative reviews affect that score far more than Rotten Tomatoes's.

MY DESERT MY ARRAKIS MY DUNE!!! LONG LIVE THE FIGHTERS!!!

According to, of all scooperbros, the r/DCULeaks moderation team, she was brought on last year, and that source has been hilariously spot-on previously.

As I've said previously, the moment he was taken down by Ant-Man's ant army was the moment any and all credibility Kang had got completely vaporized. A YouTube comment perfectly pointed out that the shadowy and mysterious first meeting between Scott and Kang coming right after a flashback of him getting his ass kicked and devolving into a snot-nosed brat did not do him any favours. So I couldn't be happier that he's gone now. I wouldn't mind revisiting the character in a decade or so, but for now, Marvel would do good moving on. I actually think they might go for, say, Miles Teller as The Maker, the evil Reed Richards from the Ultimate Marvel comics, as the villain of the next Avengers event. It would be nicely compatible with all the other legacy Marvel actors returning to the big screen these past couple of years. This does assume they still want to make it a two-parter though, and after Disney's financial troubles, I have a feeling Iger will follow in Warner's footsteps and ask for it to be cut down to just one movie.

At this point it's way too late to shelve this. The right time to do that would've been shortly after The Marvels bombed. Blade is the one still in danger at this point.

Yeah, even for social media reactions these are insanely positive. I don't see any of the red flags I see otherwise. I'll be bullish and say that this is probably landing at at least 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, at least for a while. We'll find out in 3 hours and 22 minutes.

It's for the same reason I think Matrix 4 was sent to die against Spider-Man back then: the executives were probably utterly dumbfounded by the highly subversive art they received instead of the crowdpleasers they wanted. This is just my thinking though. We'll never know until Bong speaks out a decade from now. At this point I think we should all be thankful this is getting released at all, considering the shenanigans Zsasz has been getting up to during his reign. Hopefully the recent rumour, albeit a small one coming from a random Redditor, about the movie being a misfire isn't true.

In a franchise where the last movie was plagued with complaints about a lack of its signature creatures, it is pretty funny that the next one will be done by the Godzilla 2014 guy. Still, Gareth has a fantastic sense of scale and scope, even if the scripts he works with are not all that. Considering that this one is being written by a veteran like Koepp, he might have better luck here, seeing as his last movie involving a seasoned writer was Rogue One, the only truly great Disney Star Wars movie.

I'm leaning towards the latter, as I can definitely see Zaslav having that reaction. I also bet he wanted to write this off for taxes too, but realized this'd cause a massive uproar that would push away the big auteurs Warner wants. So a January dump it is.

This is most likely getting written off for taxes much like Coyote vs Acme is about to. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if both are announced at the same time since Warner's earnings call or something is coming up.

They don't have anything dated beyond that, so they're probably rethinking their approach regardless. And seeing as any of these spinoffs not starring Venom have plagued Sony with bad headlines without making enough of a profit to soothe the resulting stings, it's not hard to see why. Speaking of this movie, am I the only one who was expecting this to go through massive reshoots after that huge delay? They could've easily opened it this past weekend and still dodged the strikes. But with half a year to go without any news pointing to said kind of reshoots, it seems like Sony really was that afraid of the strikes escalating.

Summer 2019 was such a bloodbath. If you weren't Disney or didn't have the Mouse connection back then, it was red ink for you.

To put into perspective how much the landscape has changed in the past 4-5 years: this weekend, not only did a romantic comedy, a genre flatlining for the past decade now, beat a big budget Marvel blockbuster domestically, but another Marvel-based movie got absolutely bodied by a biopic with mixed critical reception. It's honestly insane to see a genre that used to instantly print money as recently as last decade radically transform into a high-risk punchline. The characters who ascended to the top during the golden age will likely still print money, as seen by Spider-Man and that Deadpool trailer's metric. Those who couldn't will gradually fade away from the spotlight and become "that weirdo my grandpa was obsessed with when he was a kid". It'll be interesting for sure to see if any other genre becomes the new top dog in the years to come, or if wealth will be a lot more evenly distributed across the board in a new market without the record breaking highs but with far higher lows.

Make that "glorious". Endgame crowds will look like an addiction rehab group compared to us Sonic fans.
