If this ends in the 60% region, I will be so disappointed. Give me under 40 or over 80, goddamit!

Yeah for real.

 

Super pathetic.

 

They spent probably like $600M promoting the character in media and she does not have a success to her name. Multiple cancelled comic series, flop $200M show, flop $200M movie, flop AAA game.

 

So she should probably be relegated to supporting roles going forward.

But no totally.

The criticism is totally just cause she’s Pakistani. 🙄

 

I think the issue is that no pakistani even knows who this character is

4 years ago this could've made 800m WW easily.

Now it looks its going to be lucky to hit even 300.

Before Quantumania, Marvels could have made over $600M WW.

There's a few reviews out, some positive and some meh from the headlines, but the "Loaded down with MCU baggage" criticism that a few have mentioned is such a turn-off for me personally. Who besides the die-hards wants to have to know 58 different things in order to understand what is going on? I've got enough going on irl without having to be a Marvel expert to watch a movie or understand the easter eggs lol.

 

edit, here is IndieWire describing what sounds like a total nightmare: 

 

“The Marvels”...requires a working knowledge of Marvel TV shows including “Scarlet Witch,” “Ms. Marvel,” and “Secret Invasion.” Sound like homework? It’s so much worse than that.

I saw 54 on mc from like a dozen reviews

mix of pretty high scores and some very low ones

[The GOAT]

They tried to emulate Guardians of the Galaxy, when they should've been trying to make a Man of Steel without the boring bits.

Mixed WOM it seems, typical marvel fans will love this, but they are less and less every week, GA seems apathic on this one.

110m DOM incoming.

[poweranimals]

RT is always terrible at updating. I guess I'll come back later.
