Why do you keep giving attention to losers like this guy? Legit, no one wants to hear what Jeff Wells thinks about anything.

Couldn't care less with the delusions i read but God how someone can keep such an ugly design for a site in 2021? It hurt my eyes.

Not sure how likely that is with is giant list of "controversies", maybe you blocked him mentally, he made a name for himself by asking director still/footage of nude actress before movies release and other weird stories.

 

If not lucky you.

He did...what???

[DInky]

I had never heard of him either.

[AJG]

Yeeeeesh.

 

This is like when someone posts one of those incel youtubers and the thread slowly goes to hell.

[Maggie]

Sorry, guys.

 

Anyway, does anyone else think Shang Chi has a chance to beat Eternals at WW BO? (especially if Shang Chi gets China release)

You mean if Shang-Chi gets a China release and Eternals doesn't? If so then I can see Shang-Chi beating Eternals. But it's really hard for me to make a prediction because I have no idea how different the covid situation will be in November.

If Eternals get banned from China maybe yes.

 

Otherwise no, Eternals buzz is way bigger.

Eternals second trailer is doing amazingly well. Add that to the fact that the best filmmaker in the business is making the movie and the cast is beyond stacked…it would be very hard for Eternals to lose.

Eternals look like a tier A release for a new launch (only BP being clearly above), Shang Chi more the mid tier for them (casting, scope, budget, etc...)

As others have said only if Eternals is banned from China and Shang-Chi is released. Otherwise Eternals seems to have more buzz.

Yeah those are insane numbers.

 

I’m really curious why it’s pulling in the normies. Sure the MCU brand is part of it, but what else is it? That it’s “purdy”? That looks different from the MCU template? The GOT connection? The actors?

 

I mean this is somebody from inside the fan bubble asking about those on the outside.

[BestPicturePlutoNash]

I hate the term “normies” but people I follow on social media who are more casual moviegoers have mentioned how it “doesn’t look like a Marvel movie”. Assuming the epic scale and global locations give it a sprawling worldwide feel. And while I think she’s a derivative, flat filmmaker, Zhao’s visuals aren’t traditional in the MCU sense of bland lighting and rudimentary blocking. 

 

But as I said before, audiences embrace whenever Marvel does something “different”(although, they’re not truly different or risky). It’s why Shang-Chi a “Kung fu” adventure will greatly overperform as will this.

Extremelly diverse cast + it simply looks epic and different for Marvel.

Meh people embrace good things different or not, Shang Chi was called and was expected to be the "same-ish" marvel, the "it's different" narrative only started after the good reviews.

You’re still going to quote me every time I post about Marvel? ShangChi was advertised as a big martial arts film since the beginning which is something they haven’t done (despite the typical formula)

 

Tons of films a year despite being good flop or fail to catch on.

[Menor the Destroyer]

My guess is it's drawing interest because of the scale. People like it when Marvel goes big. It gives the movie a "must-see" feel. The Ant-Man films are the low performers of the MCU for precisely the same reason -- they're smaller and lighter films.
