Oh wow. I thought rt pointed more at B+ but there was a chance of B there so not really shocked I guess.

This ties with Eternals for the worst CinemaScore grade for an MCU movie, right?

Correct. To think that the Infinity Saga only had one B range CS, meanwhile this saga already has four. 😣

Feels nice to be vindicated when I said wayyyyy back in 2021 that these TV shows were going to cause Marvel more harm than good. 

[filmlover]

It does feel like the oversaturation of the MCU has taken a toll on the franchise. I honestly can't be moved to care about the shows anymore, if they tie into the movies I'll just read a highlights recap going forward.

[THUNDER BIRD]

And i stood correct.

 

MCU critics and Audience reception match mostly, unlike Jurassic or Transformers or Disney Live Action.

You uhh... Haven't been. The harm is being caused by the shitty movies 😛

Over/under on this having a worse second weekend drop than Dark Phoenix? In fact, I'm calling it right now: This movie's second weekend is going to be lower than Dark Phoenix's opening weekend.

A healthy box office for a bad movie isn't healthy for anyone.

This is not a bad movie. I saw it, loved it.

Yeah, I definitely think the one-two punch of Multiverse of Madness and Love and Thunder helped usher in franchise fatigue, which might be why people are being so harsh on this movie. I also think audiences getting a taste of the likes of Top Gun 2 and Avatar 2 are contributing to it. Maybe the Marvel way doesn't cut it for them anymore.

Does this fail to reach $200M domestically? If it does crack $200M, it will do what no 2022 film did - finish between $200M - $300M. I guess that's something to aim for, I suppose.

[Legion Again]

Bad MCU movies never would have worked for people. Good ones will always work for people. Not sure that the ratio between the two will be very favorable for the next few years though -- we'll see to what degree they can course correct but at this point it's a full blown trend not just an isolated movie or two.

Yes. And those shitty movies are happening because of those Disney+ shows. I've explained to you why the abundance of them is hurting the quality control and the storytelling of this saga over and over and over and over again. I'm not sure why you refuse to listen and don't like it when people complain about these shows being a problem when you yourself hate them, but go off I guess.

So for those who've seen Quantumania, what are your thoughts and feelings going forward on Kang Dynasty? Have they changed at all? Still the same? Undecided?

You've said why you think the shows are the problem, yes. And I've said why I think they are not. Now you're saying again that you think they are the problem, and I'm saying again I do not.

First truly weak Avengers BO

[Landon1195]

So earlier I discussed if Vol. 3 could make a billion. I want to now ask do you think it would have made a billion in an alternate timeline where James Gunn never got fired and covid never happened so it releases in May 2020 like it was supposed to?

Nope, these recent movies are just bad. I rewatched Ant-Man 1 and 2 before this and loved them as much as I did the first time. Has nothing to do with "the Marvel way not cutting it."
