Yeah I get that but the whole infinity war storyline started when Thanos showed up. Not the first iron Man so my point still stands. This has been 6 years of build up and hype not ten


Dude, They had the roadmap since the first iron man movie, this was ALWAYS in the plan...:heh: it was called Phase 1 remember?

False, the Infinity Gauntlet popped up in the first Thor movie.

Not to mention the Space Stone was in the first Captain America movie.

It doesn't make much sense to say this story line started when Thanos appeared. They obviously been planning this story, or a version of it, since day 1.

Think about all the options marvel have. Hypothetically lets say infinity war was a let down, BP2 still gon fill the theater up. Hell marvel can tease at a 5 second clip of killmonger still being alive and it's a wrap
:wow:


Thor became a bigger character after ragnarok. Gotg won't lose any fans. Not saying marvel can't fall off over time, but it's not happening now.

if critics & fans alike end up hating infinity war, could it tank the entire superhero genre? or is the superhero genre too big to fail at this point?

I mean this is what the MCU has been building up to for 10 years...if its nothing short of amazing it going to take the wind out of everyone sails and superhero fatigue will probably set in
BP aside, it's lowkey setting in already :iseeu:

The Netflix universe is significantly less important than it was when it started. Only a matter of time before it spreads to movies.

Forget the fact that it will most likely be good, do you really think anyone with a platform would have the balls to vocalize that it wasn't?:gucci::mjlol:

:mjlol: people been saying this since the first spiderman reboot, and superhero movies box office returns continue to set records and bring in new audiences. Hence the reason you had to imediately say BP aside. nikka why? BP counts just as much as every superhero movie. Fatigue isn't setting, interest is at an all time high a still growing.

You cats been saying this for 5+ years and "Black Panther" just did $1.3 billion....and "Infinity War" just broke the ticket presale records of that movie.

"Wonder Woman" did $821 mill.

"GOTG Vol. 2" did $838 mill.

To be fair the hows have gotten progressively worse with each installment.

I hope this is good. I'm really excited for it. So I was excited for Last Jedi too given the director. So I won't get my hopes up too high yet
