Movie might not even make it to 500 mill.
Sucks because it was actually a decent film. but i suspected from the beginning that Mackie as an actor. and Falcon as a character weren't big enough draws
another lesson for marvel. "you not playing with house money anymore, can't just make any character sell."

Stick to the A listers for a while until you build up hype again. Daredevil obviously going right now.
Thunderbolts will be another mid release, because nobody is a draw in that movie either
Then they will be shocked to find Fantastic Four is a hit, because they expect it to do Fox numbers, but will be another a list MCU movie.

He's exactly who he needs to be with what he's doing.

Nobody claim that he was Denzel or Morgan Freeman but damn.

He ain't no worse than

Joe Kinnaman
Hemsworth (either one)
Miles Teller

they have physicality to fall back on plus they have to match roles to the little character acting that they can do.

like keanu does. like arnie did.

so mackie was fine as (wisecracking, sarcastic humor) sideman falcon. "wisecracking, sarcastic humor" being mackie in real life.

kinnaman was good as "silent and brooding" in altered carbon. emphasis on "not saying too much while letting the asian versions of him head the emotional burden of the character"

people criticise them too and hemsworth has MiB4 to show for his efforts to become a leading man/hero :picard: .

teller has F4F :picard:


kinnaman has a lot of lemons in his filmography. good in 2D action role in suicide squad .. not good in robocop, especially compared to the original actor.

To be fair to Kinneman, that Robocop role was hollow as fukk. :hubie:

I actually enjoy Kinneman. His voice makes me laugh. Could you imagine him as Batman talking to Gordon.

Yeah. I definitely understand that plot armor and the "rule of cool" are major parts of superhero stories.

However, like @null pointed out, I still think that there has to be some consistent level of verisimilitude. If there's no consistency with that, then I can no longer suspend my disbelief at what I'm watching.
People will always play dumb about this

Fictional worlds have rules whether people want to acknowledge it or not. If Spiderman turned into a helicopter and started quoting Gucci Mane lyrics nikkas would understandably go :dahell:

Grant Morrison is a legend but that quote is stupid. It's born out of resentment for criticism of bad/lazy writing and a storyteller's inherent agreement to remain beholden to the rules of their own game

When a storyteller breaks their own rules or continuity it's like letting a nikka travel full court because he brought the ball. Suspension of disbelief is a two party agreement

I LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX!
I saw the movie a few weeks ago and it was bland and forgettable in my opinion. Another one and done. You know, I recently rewatched Captain America: TWS and Infinity War, and I was just as engaged in those films as I was the first time. Then I put on Spider-Man: NWH and Deadpool & Wolverine, and they just faded into background noise. That seems to be par for the course with the MCU these days: make a film loaded with fan service, rake in a billion dollars, and then when the moment wears off, people realize the movies they once lost their minds over were actually flawed, lazy, uninspired messes.

Nikkas who already hate Mackie. I don't understand why every single black actor for the most part gets kudos and props but for some reason he gets slandered.

YOU GOTTA CHILL.

I SUPPORTED THE MOVIE
AND I LIKED THE MOVIE.

IVE SUPPORTED MACKIE
THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER
AND STILL CAN ADMIT
MACKIE IS A VERY MID ACTOR

:devil:
:evil:
