the possibility some group could "adopt it" like teens adopted Minions 2 (is this in the meme culture?) - who the heck knows.

difference is Minions has cultivated an audience for the last 12 years. No one cares about Superman's dog.

Yeah, don’t need any specific characters. Need strong writers again.

BP2 has the same writers of the first plus a very smart director. Hopefully Coogler can take MCU out on a high note this year.

This board: The MCU is dying and needs Sony to save it

What Marvel needs is Ant-Man and Black Panther to be A+ movies.

I’m not convinced people are gonna go crazy over an Ant-Man movie, so it looks like the pressure is on BP2.

I know it will open over Paws of Fury and its predecessor Teen Titans Go to the Movies - after that...

I had the kids rate trailers for upcoming movies in terms of interest

Thor was only 2.5/5 (and one is a big Thor fan, though I’ll probably drag them to watch it anyway)

 

Paws of Fury got a 0 (1/5 and -1/5 😂)

Have you seen how dog movies do?  Everyone always seems to care about the dog.  

 

As a cat owner, I don't get it but now, I just accept it!

I agree with you, but if this is as good as early hype indicates it could be like Ragnarok

He was a big part of Endgame so people kind of should go crazy for him.

What is Thor 4 but Lethal Weapon 4?

Ant-Man is more important than Black Panther because it is dealing with where the big picture plot of MCU is leading. 

 

BP 2 could be just another Wakanda story.

Paws of Fury isn't even theatrical in the UK, goes straight to our equivalent of cable on July 22nd.

[THUNDER BIRD]

What MCU needs is Everyone's favorite Mercenary in his full Rated R Glory.

 

Fast track the Deadpool movie.

 

Time for Merc with a mouth to save Marvel.

I mean, the first SLoP did big business back in 2016, but the sequel in 2019? Maybe the movie will do ok, but I don’t know if I can imagine it breaking out. 

[Joyous Legion]

I would be clamoring for Markus and McFeely back except they didn’t understand Endgame’s time travel 😬

Mine struggle to not make fun of the Paws of Fury ad in theater - then again, they have also seen that trailer a TON, so it's getting exposure to kids.

 

That said, Minions isn't going huge b/c of families, so families are not showing just "to see something", so Paws is toast except for AMC/Regal subscribers who have built up extra tickets and need to appease the kid (be it the sibling, child, niece/nephew, or babysat)...

2016 was peak furry cinema. Talking animals galore. So much so they almost overshadowed the capes.
