It's very possible for the movie to get a standing ovation. When I went, my date and I were the only ones there. It was fun enough to watch but we were joking around the whole time so that probably made it more enjoyable. I think they missed an opportunity when Rambeau was closing the rift for her to say "I'll be back before you know it" to REALLY make Carol feel like shit, haha.

I guarantee you they are going to pivot the whole thing with Fantastic Four, and Doom will become the big bad of a renamed Avengers 5. That'll then lead into Secret Wars with Avengers 6.

God Emperor Doom? Yes please!

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

God Emperor Doom? Yes please!

Which comic issue is this from?

Which comic issue is this from?

It's from Jonathan Hickman's 2015 Secret Wars run. No idea what individual issue.

The irony is that they CUT Doom out of Black Panther 2. Lake Bell's character was working for Doom to find Vibranium in the ocean, and they cut out a credits stinger where that was revealed when she reported to him in Latveria.

This movie is now seriously on track to be one of the biggest box office disasters of all time. Its weekday performance has been horrendous. It barely cracked 1 million dollars on Thursday - a week out from release. It's now tracking for a sub X2 multiplier. Good chance it won't crack 100 million total domestic.

Utter rejection by the audience. Not down to the marketing, the strike or anything else, other than absolute audience apathy with this shit.

Meanwhile, “The Marvels” is facing a steep tumble in its second outing. The Marvel Studios production earned $2.8 million on Friday, down a staggering 87% from its opening day last week. It’ll be lucky to hit $10 million in its sophomore outing.

Box Office: ‘Hunger Games’ Gobbles Up $19.1 Million Opening Day, ‘Trolls 3’ Rolls to Second as ‘The Marvels’ Faces Brutal Drop

“The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” has caught some fire at the domestic box office. Lionsgate’s “Hunger Games” prequel earned about $19.1 million on its opening day from 3,776 locations, a figure that includes $5.75 million in Thursday previews. The new installment in the young adult dystopian...

Can't wait for the wikipeida update. Lets see how they will handle this.

Am I reading the numbers right, a video around Taylor swifts concert might make more money domestically than the marvels? That boggles the mind

Isn't that concert like the highest grossing concert of all time?

The thing about the Superhero bubble was these films cost so much money that when the bubble popped it was going to be brutal. Losing hundreds of millions on a single film is mad.

87% drop in its second week? Damn, racism and misogyny run deep among US movie goers. Marvel, and every other studio, needs to push through the noise and ensure that more Nia DaCostas, Brie Larsons, Iman Vellanis and Teyonah Parrises, as well as folks across the gender and racial spectrum, have the opportunity to make comic book films.

This Marvel Movie Was A Big Fail — But There’s More To The Story

Critics and MCU fans all have something to say about the movie, and it’s a symptom of a larger issue.

Hickman's run on Avengers and his Secret Wars were Marvel comics at its finest.

If they follow Hickman's story for Secret Wars and bring in God Emperor Doom, I'll be in the cinema day one.

Wow, that Huffpost article reads like a Babylon Bee article. Holy shit. "Marvel needs to push through" after losing probably $3-400M and continue to make this bullshit that nobody wants?!?!?

 

[TGO]

They just delayed everything except Deadpool a year.

Seem wise although it will have references it's not tied directly to the MCU and can operate outside but influence the MCU, just like Spider-Man.

This Franchise Is Beloved — But It Has Always Fat-Shamed

Plus-size characters, when present at all, have typically been portrayed in the franchise as grotesque and slovenly aliens.

The course correction is gonna be wild. We might get conventional attractive female leads again.

It's tied directly to the MCU and is the direct setup for Secret Wars and a sequel to Loki.

The story is:

Spoiler

The TVA picks up Deadpool for what he was doing with Cable's time machine. They're putting together an army of heroes from dying universes to fight the Kangs. Deadpool tries to recruit Wolverine.

For maximize a soft landing, youre supposed to tell the bad news first then hit them with good news at the end!

Think it's supposed to be a compliment sandwich they just couldn't think of another compliment.

Jesus Christ, that sounds fucking awful. Deadpool is meant to be the one taking the piss out of the idiotic, convoluted story, not be a part of it. And why the fuck are they folding in the TVA? Nobody gives a shit about that, outside the rapidly shrinking Disney Plus audience.

Great, they’ve fucked Deadpool to prop up their shitty TV shows. I knew getting bought by Disney would screw it up.

Unlike Kang, Doom has yet to be humiliated.

Kang was beaten by ants and it went downhill from there.

They're not going to Hunger Games either. No one wanted a prequel to a dead franchise.

This is how you make companies pay for their choices. No need for discourse, anger, bitterness, which is actually fuel for them.
You simply don't consume.

Songbirds is performing near expectations and will easily turn a profit. The Marvels will be on the list of biggest bombs in Hollywood history.

Just wait for Wish. It's already at 50 on RT and that's BEFORE the boycotts begin over it being a movie about a Hispanic girl trying to kill God.

No they made a woke fairy tale. The main character is a Hispanic girl trying to kill the evil white man God (who's based on Trump). It's also just a boring Easter Egg hunt that references other Disney movies and being trashed in reviews. It could bomb bigger than Strange World did.

I was just joking because of the “kill God” part.

Worst second weekend drop for a superhero movie in box office history.
