RT has taken down the live % lol, just before it hit rotten as that last pic showed it at 62%

Making 9 projects every year is what happened. This would never have gotten so bad if they just made 2-3 projects a year

Theyve never released 9 a year

I think Feige might want to take a page out of Gunn's apparent philosophy for the new DCU:  Don't start filming projects until you have a rock-solid script locked in.

 

My guess is the unevenness of Phase 4 had a lot to do with the determination to roll cameras and hit release dates and hope you could work out any script issues as you go.  But with Feige being stretched over so many projects now, there's a lot more variability in the end result.

 

I wonder if Marvel will move toward hiring more experienced writers, instead of so many up-and-comers.

Up to 5 red scores on Metacritic, the same as Eternals. The most among all MCU movies lol

That's the problem, MCU want you to care about him.

 

Multiverse of Madness and Thor 4 disagree.

 

Wakanda Forever as well.

In all fairness… the reviews for most of the New and Upcoming Films look kinda middling

 

 

In fairness to what?

Every single major release people claim RT is in on a conspiracy when it always crashes when a bunch of reviews are uploaded at once. It happened with Black Panther, with Thor, basically every major blockbuster it crashes within the first 30 minutes

I honestly think Superman Legacy will make or break capeshit.

Is Thor really a big characters now? I don't think Thor will be a big character in next 2 Avengers movies. DS is the only big character they messed up.

Technically last year had 3 movies, 3 shows, and 2 "special presentations", so 8.

 

This year currently scheduled has 3 movies, and 6 seasons of shows per Wikipedia. So 9

nah it will be Kang Dynasty or Secret wars. If those two films can't get it right and don't make a shit ton of cash, then yeah CBM's are in trouble

Seriously? Are we going to pretend Thor is not a Really a big Character.

it's a mediocre movie ! not bad not good just mid with a great villain and good cast ! not at all the start they wanted ! if they up the game by secret invasion there's no way they gonna catchup to infinity saga! they have 0 error chance now !! and the marvels coming out this year ! if the movie is sh1t or mid then they better reshoot it !! loosing millions now better than loosing billions in the future !

Iron Man 3* and Thor: The Dark World say hi from 2013. The only difference now is that critics are judging MCU titles more sternly as it has completely dominated pop-culture.

 

*I'm actually a big IM3 fan but the general opinion seems to be that it's mid to bad.

Right...because taking down the live% would change anything when peeps are literally stalking the film's page waiting for an update. They didn't take down anything, site is just wonky af.

even with an RT score in the 60s/MC in the low 50s

Still my expectations fwiw 

[titanic2187]

A china movie gross a number in China that can easily beat domestic's entire January gross and yet Antman 3 can't help much to boost the domestic market. I think $300m is quite dead now. 

[MovieMan89]

Definitely feeling confident now my predictions about this not really doing any better than the first two is going to age very well. 225 ceiling DOM imo with this reception.

He was. Do you really think he will be in big 3 of next Avengers movies? His era as a lead character of Avengers movies is over.

MCU is in legitimate trouble going forward. There is a clear lack of vision at this point and it’s happening right when WB seem to finally be getting a hold on what to do with DCU. That’s a dangerous combination for Disney.
