LouisianaArkansasGeorgia Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 One motherfucking billion dollars for Captain Marvel (well, only ten million dollars away as of this weekend). Evidently, Brie's hatred of white men had a horrible effect at the box office. While the alt-right anti-superheroine trolls lick their wounds and scratch their heads trying to understand why CM became such a global smash despite their "best" efforts, fans of CBMs and especially fans of superwomen in CBMs can rejoice about the infinite possibilities that Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel will inevitably lead to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I'm a "Marvel hater" is because they make movies I don't like, plain and simple. If they start making good movies, I will be honest about it. Just like I have always been honest in here about how I didn't enjoy Aquaman, and how Ant-Man and the Wasp was my favorite comic book movie from last year. I will not pretend Marvel can't make anything right just because I'm a DC supporter. I apologize, Napoleon. That was just a stupid comparison and I actually take responsibility for it. I admit that I did, with that comment, what many people do here with you, which is mock you and dismiss you for being extremely passionate about the DCEU. Since saying that the Snyder DCEU properties are awesome is not a popular opinion here, everyone feels empowered to attack you and laugh at you for it. But I only meant that you and him are similar in your extreme passion for your respective cinematic universes. I gotta give you credit for "admitting" that you loved AMATW just like I give him credit for admitting that he enjoyed Wonder Woman and Aquaman. In any case, I am sorry. I won't do that again.

Hopefully they will boycott WW 1984 too. Then it's sure to get 1.2 billion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they do!! Seriously, nothing would make me happy than the WW sequel following that same CM narrative (Trolls hate on it, the film still makes a billion dollars) just so they can feel even more powerless. I mean, at some point they are going to realize that their idiotic campaigns are pointless, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the DC brand to be positive again. It's already shedding his crap brand, hopefully it can continue to do so. I'm looking out for that transition, but so far between the movies & streaming shows, his magic touch has been so pervasive. 8 minutes ago, cdsacken said: Hopefully they will boycott WW 1984 too.

WW is so much better than CM, and Gal wasn't even sexist against white dudes, and she is awesome, unlike wooden Brie, and the film did not need to shove SJW concepts down our throat" blah blah blah. I bet they never really cared for WW to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdsacken Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Indeed. Snyder magic touch LMAO he literally failed on 2 of what should have been the easiest films ever to make in BVS and Justice League. He's an out of touch, narcissistic, delusional, hateful dbag. I can't wait till he has zero affiliation with DC films. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what’s with the personal attacks against the guy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdsacken Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Batman and Superman with $400million budget for production/marketing come on. Justice League literally lost money and BVS broke even with 850+ in box office. Only a terrible director could fail that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait till he has zero affiliation with DC films. And yet his legacy lives on. The MCU got a 2-for-1 out of BvS. I thought Johns & Berg being out would mean that's the official turnover and yet Aquaman & Shazam! continue to remind me of this foundation. Every bit and piece of a rumored JL cut has me going...so basically Infinity War. The streaming shows are an impressive backdoor to the movies.

They spent 850 million combined on the two and maybe broke even. You don't spend that kind money hoping to maybe break even. Anyone who's honest about it if Marvel did the same they would have made bank. DC has awesome characters. They just need nonshitty directors and seem to be on the right track now.

cdsacken Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Gotg vs Superman lmao delusional. Justice League lost 100 million BVS probably broke even maybe made a tiny bit. Frame however you want both of those movies were such massive failures that it created a stigma with DC. Best way to shed it is to shed the person responsible.

BvS costing just 400m budget + marketing.......... just to show how not a lot it would be, that not different than your average Thor 2 /Guardian of the Galaxy type of affairs, much lower than all the Spider Man pass the first one.
