The joke & quips in MCU films validate the condescending opinion they have on those films.

Except they don't get the Marvel team take their charcaters and world super seriously and they believe enormously in what they create.

That s why critics were so harsh on BvS, a movie that takes its characters and its world way too seriously it s too much for them.

Dark Knight is considered by the world critics in the top 1000 movie of all time according to the sight and sound and other lists, just between Monthy Python and Robocop, just above Stanley Kubrick Spartacus

To these people, a movie can only truly be great if it stays grounded

Could be true that something the MCUs do a lot and it is maybe why they are so acclaimed by the critics.

Are you being serious, did Wonder Woman took Wonder Woman less seriously and played it not straight, that the difference between BvS and Wonder Woman reception ?, with some meta humor and ashamed of itself ?

Why most superhero fans still seek validation from the second guy is just beyond me.

That a good question, sometime it feel almost like it is because it got the tribal in/out group nature of sport following, and stuff like critics and box office are the only metrics they can use to fight about it (like points/wins) at sports.

Thread title "Marvel Vs DC Vs Star Wars vs Harry Potter"

 

So it's pretty much Disney vs WB, isnt it?

 

As of yesterday

 

Disney net worth: $158.3 billion

 

Time Warner net worth: $71.2 billion

 

Disney wins by a large margin.

 

I am not sure what net worth mean, but if it is the company that own Disney studio and Warner Brother Studio market cap, does that mean if At&t buy them and that they become and over 300b market cap entity, WB start winning again ?

I dont think Walt Disney will ever sell its film studio. The film studio is Walt Disney's key asset.

[ZattMurdock]

I just hope that Disney don't sell us. 

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Amazon will buy all the movie studios.

I was talking about AT&T buying Time Warner and all is division not Disney film studio, using a ridicule example to show that using that metric make little sense, the value of the conglomerate that happen to be owning a studio does not mean much, under that metric Sony == Fox.

 

Has for the Film studio being WD key asset, maybe (for what it mean for their parks and other assets), but ESPN is much bigger and profitable:

 

 

 

Disney not so long ago was ESPN and a bit of some other stuff in term of profits (ESPN was over 60% of Disney total annual profit I think).

That's definitely true. ESPN has been Disney's biggest money maker for long.

 

But of cause we all know the studio is one of the driving force for the parks and other assets, so when we look at the studios impact, we're literally looking at 32% (theme parks) + 14%(studio) plus some from 11% consumer products. (Not that the studio is reponsible for all of them of cause.) 

 

As for the AT&T buyout thing, since comparing net worth is not a serious debate in the first place, let's just wait till Time Warner gets delisted before we figure out how to redo the comparison lol

AT&T+Time Warner = $186 billion + $500bn physical assets

HBO is also Warner so they own Game of Thrones too along with all the merchandise aswell

The fuck is with that Spider-Man looking mother-fucker in the corner?

 

Spoiler

I don't actually care, just felt like pointing out he looks like Spider-Man.

 

[Rebeccas]

An Apple/Disney merge would be the start of world domination.

Is this the Thanos that people would have preferred?

My theory is that Thanos in GOTG is tanned because he hangs up in space next to giant suns and when he arrives to Earth his tan lost all of its purpleness looking for a tan bed.

#s speak for themselves. First five movies:

 

DCEU Total Dom - 1.5B, WW - 3.6B (and growing!)

MCU  Total Dom - 1.1B, WW - 2.3B

 

Clear winner, DCEU.

 

I rest my case. #s don't lie.

The returns are diminishing for DCU though.

 

Like to see how big a hit SS2 would be.

This really demonstrates WB's strategy though. Short term gain vs long term build-up. Their desire for fast money ruined their chance of making their own Avengers level cash cow.

Or maybe the film isn’t finished yet.

It also demonstrates that the market changed in the 5 years between Iron Man and MoS. of the 4 marvel movies to make less than 200M, 3 were from before the avengers. the 4th is Antman.

 

WW, None of the 5 Marvel movies before Avengers made as much as MoS, individually. End of the day, JL will make more than those 5.

 

More fun #s.

Christopher Reeves Superman movies, DOM total 1.1B (4-films) Adjusted

Tim Burton/Keaton Batman, DOM total 912M (2-films) Adjusted

Dark Knight Trilogy, Dom Total 1.5B (3-films) Adjusted, WW 2.5B

 

And just for fun, if we take the first 3 superman movies, and Tim Burton movies (5 films) total adjusted Dom is 1.9B.

First 4 Supes movies, then Batman, it's 1.6B.

 

All this is useless information that I find interesting.
