    Why is everyone so anti-Thunderbolts?  Yes, it's a little bit on banking on the D+ shows, but it's also a Black Widow follow up. I want more Florence and David!!

    That actually is a detriment to this movie, as Black Widow was not exactly a crowdpleaser. There's obviously the matter of Thunderbolts not being a known property and Marvel no longer having the goodwill to prop such properties up. They're actually taking a big risk here by still going full steam ahead with this movie, even going as far as moving the release up. There's something to be said for that.

    Maybe I'm a bad person but I was hoping they would delete this movie

    I feel like they're too far along now to pull the plug, and/or are proud of what they have now after the creative overhaul last year. We'll just have to wait and see at this point.

    Baby Peter is born in 2003 in this movie. Take from that what you want.

    How big of a role do the Parkers have here? The original rumours were claiming they were key factors to the storyline, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore from what I've read.

    Two things. One, at least domestically they are marketing the hell out of this film. Just heard my second freakin radio spot for it this morning driving into work (on Q101 here in Chicago if anyone cares). Basically if you don’t know there’s a Bob Marley movie coming out today, you’re in a coma or dead.

     

    Second, there’s just nothing else out. Your V-day date night choices are One Love or Madame Web, and the latter is at 16% on RT.

    One Love isn't exactly getting raves either. I feel like in that situation couples would be more likely to do something else, or just do a movie night at home with something good. There's no shortage of entertainment today.

    WTF does this mean

     

     

    He hasn't changed one bit from the last Transformers press circuit. He was responsible for a lot of incomprehensible statements back then, muddying the waters regarding its continuity. Rise of the Beasts would have been so much better without his meddling. Hopefully he gets blocked in some way if we get another live action movie.

    This is S.J. Clarkson's first movie but she's a a real TV veteran (and she's directed shows like the British Life on Mars which looked fantastic) so how is this movie so bad on a technical level?

    You said it yourself. She is a television veteran, but this is the first feature film she ever directed. The sad part is, she tried to get in before by joining Star Trek 4 back in 2018, but that got shelved after pay disputes with the stars. I'll always wonder if this movie would've been better had Clarkson actually gotten to make Star Trek 4, and therefore score some serious experience in film.

    Sony wanted its The Marvels. It got it. :hahaha:

    I mean, as infamous of a flop as it is now, greenlighting that one made sense at the time. Captain Marvel was a billion dollar hit, and Marvel was still on top of the world and hadn't hit the slump they're currently in, so why not make another? Madame Web should never have gotten her own movie, and it would've flopped in any era as long as it was the Sony suits in charge.

    What is going on with Sony? With all the investment they have, they can't get audience and critics satisfy with a Live Action Marvel Movie. Also the fact that Sony pointed out this was post to be one of their big 6 live action (Ghostbusters, Kraven, Karate Kid, Venom, Bad Boys) films of the year shows this is going to be a rough 100 anniversary. 

    A big problem they'll face in the years to come is that this whole franchise was built on smoke and mirrors. They prominently use the Marvel logo in all the promotional material to deceive people into thinking they're in league with the MCU as well. The thing is, that tactic relied single-handedly on the overall strength of the Marvel brand, and that brand value has nosedived starting with Multiverse of Madness. So now instead of a golden goose they're hitching themselves a ride to damaged goods, which will turn off a lot of people. What makes this even worse is that these movies are all spinoffs of Spider-Man, a character who is still big and can be without needing any help from the larger Marvel universe. Unless they pull another stunt like in 2019 and take Spidey back, I wouldn't be surprised if Venom 3 is the last of these.

    I don’t know why people still give him attention. Not only is he a hack who’s consistently off the mark, but he’s arrogant and either throws a tantrum or goes radio silent when whatever nonsense he says turns out to be wrong yet again.

    This all makes me wonder how accurate his claims about Ballerina are, and if the movie is truly as bad as he claims.

  10. Yeah, I don't think the TVA's relevance to this story is going to hurt it to the same level the Disney+ connections hurt The Marvels. Loki, at least its first season, was very popular and a big hit. The TVA can also be easily explained as a shady timeline protector without any Loki context needed. All people need to know is that this is a result of Wade tampering with time to save his loved ones. It's not like any of the Loki characters are going to be in this anyway.
