nikka NO.... Half to most these Marvel movies are absolute shyt shows

I do not think them scrambling to find any nikka they see fit, and throw him into a role where he's going to be compared to Chadwick, and has half the people hating him for even taking the role...........

Would make for a better movie. At all. That's why I keep asking who exactly.. They need a good actor, with star power, who also looks like he could be BP AND can play it where you ain't watching the movie the entire time thinking "Chadwick was so much better than this"

Nah I'm not just gonna THINK that's gonna be better

So what exactly did you want from the most recent MCU? Because Ant-Man 3 was a disaster and FLOPPED.... Eternals was a disaster and FLOPPED... Black Widow flopped. All the TV shows are flopping. Thor movie was ass.

The good movies they've put out since End game are a Spider-Man movie that was half a Sony production and a Guardians movie that was made by James Gunn who no longer works there. :manny:

So we aren't discussing the highly profitable Joker and Batman movies during the same time period? What those made in profits far eclipses whatever losses there are from the others :mjlol:
1.7 billion (batman and joker boxoffice combined) isnt enough to cover that loss

Of course it is. Ancillaries alone are tens of millions of dollars that you didn't even account for. First of all, 'Blue Beetle' only cost $120M and they obviously didn't put a lot into promoting it so they are not taking a loss on this movie.

'The Flash' they will take a loss on. They likely took a loss on the Shazam sequel but the original Shazam more than makes up for that. The Aquaman movie made over $1.1 billion so that's another highly profitable movie.

Joker and The Batman likely cover whatever losses the studio took on these lesser movies by a wide margin.

I'm on record saying MCU been trash since IW... the last battle of Endgame was the only good part of Endgame... And really I have no idea what they can do but they NEED to just bring in the mutants and call that shyt a day

I agree with the Spidey been the best of... But that's still Sony with their hands in it.. And GG3 wasn't all that to me.. shyt was on the level of BP2 (I don't get all the hate besides no BP, which I don't think should have gotten recast, so they were stuck).

Marvel is on a downward spiral of bad movies that do good enough to keep making them. If DC could actually put out more joker and the batman content, Marvel would cease to be #1 in 3-4 years tops... Instead they handing it to silly ass Gunn who probably gonna drop the ball too

I agree with what you said about the MCU, there's probably no fixing it unless they introduce the X-Men soon. They've had 5 years and still no X-Men.

As far as DC goes, Gunn is making a Superman movie first. Gunn has never really had a flop so I'm not going to predict that it won't do well. Batman: Brave and the Bold is one of the other movies that's first up, you'd think that would do well with Batman and Damien Wayne.

If that was true then 'The Batman' wouldn't have been a success but it was. People might be dumb but they aren't dumb enough to not realize it's something different.
The Batman came out before all these flops.

If the batman came out after flash, shazam, and blue beetle...who was going to see it. Who was going to see a movie studio release 3 straight flops and then say but I am going to go see the 4th movie?

If aquaman don't hit...Gunns whole press run is going to be trying to convince people his dc movie is nothing like that shyt that released in 2023 that bricked everywhere. Not what you want to do when you trying to get a whole comic book universe off the ground with your first movie.

People are actually "dumb enough". Shazam flopped. The flash is nothing like shazam. Flop. Blue beetle is nothing like The flash. Flop. Rock tried to avoid having black adam have anything to do with Shazam. Flopped.

The lack of interest in those 3 movies is directly tied to the reboot. People are aware a reboot is coming so they are like :manny: towards the old movies that were already in the can

If namor gets a movie... I'm thinking the xmen are definitely in that one. He has a history with them. Plus its gonna need more than just namor to fill seats cuz obviously Latinos ain't about that life.
