Yeah, it kinda messed up my day yesterday and I still feel bad. I can't explain it, it's just a movie.
And after seeing Amazing Spider Man 2, that answer is maybe.

That's beautiful. Damn I love this guy.
You act like advisor is a real thing. Advisor is a bullshit title in hollywood, it always has been.

Except him and Deknight are friends.
Otherwise I would agree but seems like timing happened with S6.

As much as the Wright/Goddard news worries me, Badassdigest is about the lowest shit on the internet and them saying something this hyperbolic makes me think the opposite will actually play out.

No Whedon for Avengers 3?

It's unfortunate that suits think they know what sell movies and make great movies instead of the people who actually are passionate about them. It sucks to see these two leave Marvel projects and hope it's a wake up call. I know a lot of money is on the table, but they made a ton of money by not meddling too much before, so why start now.
So the sky is falling and all that.
BTW. Disney would not mess with Mahvel business if it wasn't a serious issues with a production, which apparently ant-man is. I don't fear for future installements of their movies since it's been proved that they know how to run their stuff, against all odds.

Oh damn even you liked it? This movie must be the GOAT, I just need to know what slayven thinks
And while we're at it what about ja rule?!
Can't wait to see this tonight
Just to play devil's advocate, let's assume this is true. Do you think GotG had anything to do with it? An off-kilter director with a very specific voice and sensibility making one of Marvel's riskiest movies yet... Think that has made Disney nervous about going the same route with Ant-Man?

Nah, I haven't seen it. I'm just trusting the reviews, and the first half of First Class.

the thread title is extremely sensationalist and jumping the gun. Is this OP's job application to Fox News?

Yep.
did you ask this question during the Wolverine movies?
didn't they axe the 'of mars' part of the titled because they thought a science fiction title would put off audiences?
maybe they didn't notice the film being a total stinker as the reason behind audiences not going to see it...
DoFP is not at all on the level of Marvel Studios' best films. On top of that, let's see if Fox can manage two in a row before we throw the MCU out the door, hm?

I'm gonna go ahead and say that wasn't the worst movie. Leaving the Mars part in the title would have at least communicated part of what the movie was about rather than just saying Some Dude.

They axed "of mars" because another movie that Disney released "Mars needs moms" bombed spectacularly and was a laughing stock.
However, Stanton claims he is the one who dropped "of Mars" because John Carter didn't earn it yet. Which I guess could make sense since at the end of the movie the title changes to "John Carter of Mars".
Ideally they should have just called it Princess of Mars but apparently society just can't handle that.
I'm not surprised this joke was no sold.
But I appreciate it, Ninja Scooter. *shakes hand*
Shit... hope test audiences aren't hating GotG or something.

Honestly the trailers for GoTG have been doing the movie no favors.
The final product is a far cry from the original concept art & comics

Lol, I think you're in the minority on that one
Are you reading the first volume of GOTG?
I mean it makes sense. The movies that Wright makes are not ANYWHERE near in line with the type of structure Marvel has been making.
That was an exciting prospect for me, but it's not a safe one for Disney/Marvel.

This has been known for a while. His contract was only ever for Avenger 1 and Avengers 2. Now, he could do Avengers 3 if he wanted and if they asked, but Whedon's been wanting to get back to his own personal projects like Dr Horrible 2.
I don't know how reputable The Playlist is with these kinds of things, but they're also saying that the script rewrite came from the higher-ups and that Feige went to bat for Wright but lost.

If true, this seems like a really weird movie to flex that kind of muscle on. This isn't Iron Man or Avengers, where not falling in line with a certain criteria could cost billions. Why expend this much effort on Ant-Man?

When did he say this? I couldn't find a source for it anywhere. If Whedon really is leaving then I am worried.
After seeing how good Days of Future Past was and how good Dawn of Justice is looking I was hoping this would light a fire under Marvel's ass to stay on top with even more quality.

This seems like a Witch Hunt :/
I mean, it's all very silly when you think about it ...
Ant-Man's been in the "pipe line" for like a decade ... but back then Marvel movies weren't as big as they are now. Back then we didn't have IM3, Avengers and Cap 2 busting down the walls. And on top of that ... Ant-Man's a lame ass "hero" to base a movie on.
Seems like who ever is in charge at Marvel was finding it hard to deal with this cluster-fuck (A story about a hero with "get small ..!" powers headed by the guy who does low-brow British comedies and Scott. P and has never handled something of this size or magnitude ... and has had like 10 years to get it done. Yeah, I could see why they would want to take the project away from him if he's fucking around and it's crunch time for their big "AoU follow up".)

In October of last year he revealed his contract with marvel was only through 2015. So this isn't new news.
