Support NeoGAF

Another effective MRA boycott.

The Force Awakens - Check
Wonder Woman - Check

What's next on their takedown list?

The Mad Max Furiosa spin-off. Maybe they'll get over it in the next 8 years.

Wouldn't they boycott Atomic Blonde in the meantime?

Spider-Man, when they find out Zendaya is MJ.

Like I said, $1 billion is happening!

 

[BumRush]

Guardians 2 broke the curse, though!

I've got this theory that not only is superhero fatigue not a thing, but the very opposite is happening; the general disappointment of other Hollywood franchises is making people gravitate even more to people in spandex.

Superhero films - with VERY FEW exceptions - are fun films with happy endings. With all of the shit going on in the world, people just want to get away for a night and have a good time.

Is this a good time to bring up my crowdfunding campaign to make GAF: The Flick

Idris Elba plays me
Gwyneth Paltrow plays Bobby
Rain plays Slayven
ALL of Los Boricuas play swiss

Jaleel White as Bronson
Jeffrey Wright (with makeup to make his skin lighter) as Bobby

I don't know which to be more offended at

Fine, Alfonso Ribeiro as Bronson.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Bronson will be an entirely CG creation.

 

[kswiston]

Assuming that it is good, I think that Black Panther will be huge.

Bronson will be an entirely CG creation.

Can he be played by Andy Serkis?

 

[BumRush]

I'd pay top dollar (e.g. IMAX, multiple viewings) for an extremely dark, all Wayans brother adaptation of NeoGAF the Musical.

 

[kswiston]

Bronson will be done in stop motion animation to better personify the American audience's disinterest in him. We'll add subtitles to his lines for maximum impact.

No. The perfect person has already been cast.

I agree. I really hope it's top quality and has a clear narrative.

GAF the movie gonna bomb but it must be made. But what would be the post credit teaser?

Do you nerds still like Nolan?

Sure do!

Sure do!

The post credit teaser is someone starting the same story over again 2 weeks later as a LTTP.

Bob Iger and Soros showing up to pay us to shill.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

GAF the movie would at least outgross Serenity, and probably Entourage the movie.

Let's compromise and go with Bette Midler.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Assuming that it is good, I think that Black Panther will be huge.

I think it's safe to assume it's going to be good.

I'd be willing to suggest that it's a really good possibility that by this time next year, it'll be generally accepted that Ragnarok and Black Panther are top 5 Marvels.

If not top 3.

Speaking of, I watched Hunt for the Wilderpeople on Netflix the night before last. I can see why Waititi got picked up by Marvel.

Agreed. I have faith in Coogler to deliver the goods. But you have a huge budget black superhero film releasing during Black History Month, with a predominantly black cast, with a fan favorite character (and yes, Bobby, I know that fan faves don't really mean shit in the grand scheme of things with general audiences). If the movie is even just average, it will do very well. But if you get Wonder Woman style reviews, it will be a monster.

And, like Wonder Woman, it is important that a film like Black Panther do well. Wonder Woman is showing that there is a huge audience for female driven films, and you can give big budgets to female directors. Black Panther will show there is a huge audience for predominantly black or minority cast films. You would think that the massive success of the Fast and Furious series would show that, and then the other successes like Straight Outta Compton, Hidden Figures (which also hit the female driven film nail too), and Get Out would show studios. But we shall see. We know they are not keen to learn the right lessons.

When historians look back at BO GAFs meteoric rise in popularity, what will be the turning point? I mean, we're 2-3 months removed from these threads having 1-3 pages a week. Now, 3-4 pages is a lock by Monday.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

It's just because we all talk too much. Or Bronson's auto script is working overtime.

It's usually more active during the summer BO season. However now that studios are willing to release more blockbusters outside of summer I can see these threads staying more active throughout the year.

I would pay good money for a big screen adaptation of the BvS RT thread. Cast a big ensemble cast and let Kurtzman direct🙏

The post credit teaser is someone starting the same story over again 2 weeks later as a LTTP.

I LOVE THIS

I think that these threads are more active this year, even given the season. When people get behind a film, we do see longer threads though.

I am waiting for the day where we have enough regulars that I don't have at least a 10% share of the posts by Sunday morning before the new thread.

What happened to the Cruise Missile? The Mummy looks like it has fallen into Oblivion. It's not even on the Edge of Tomorrow. He should Never Go Back to the Dark Universe.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople was a treat. The chemistry between Sam Neil and the kid was amazing.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Few people would probably pay to see the GAF film. They would just pirate it then bitch about it on 4Chan and in YouTube comments since they weren't part of the film.

The Cruise Missile isn't embracing his age. He needs to start learning lessons from Liam Neeson's action roles.

So we're going to see an influx of Nolanites next month? Do they still exist?

Annnnd this post will be cited as the reason for BO GAFs untimely collapse

I try.

They should get Cruise as the villain in the next Fast and Furious film.

Or maybe as the villain for when they finally go to space. Dom and crew trying to take him out before he resurrects Xenu.

Wait, is the internet over Nolan? He's made 8 films and every single one has an RT over 70%. He's never made a bad film.

And they have all made a lot of money. So he is critically lauded AND successful at the box office. That is a recipe for the internet to jump down his throat and hate him.
Maybe they are waiting for the slightest falter, then he will no longer be the chosen one.

Folk just wanna see him fail because they're envious.

Maybe.

I checked xaosslug's thread creation history (which is basically just the Box Office GAF history) and we have only had 2 weekly threads fail to hit at least 300 posts since December 9th.

We had 7 weeks under that mark in the same time frame the year prior. A year before that, it was 18 weeks under 300 posts.

So we are picking up steam. Yay for Hollywood stuffing the slate with franchise films I guess.
