Marvel's bench held it down for awhile, but it's time for the starters

YOU brought up that brick shang chi, not me. It has no purpose in a conversation with superman or batman. SUICIDE SQUAD almost doubled that movie’s box office

Aquaman did $1.1 Billion. That's triple of Shang-Chi. And The Batman would have did a bill if WB ain't pull it early for HBO Max.

Notice you used Suicide Squad and not The Suicide Squad. Which was more successful to you?

Don't fall for it @Ed MOTHERfukkING G ... Gunn's version of The Suicide Squad was released the same day on HBO Max during the height of the pandemic.

The poster is not telling the full story

You’re using two outliers: gotg, which was very different, great, and had strong word of mouth, and captain marvel which starred brie larson, and was at the peak of marvel’s boxoffice powers.

Let's not forget Captain Marvel was sandwiched between infinity war and Endgame. Are we expecting "The Marvels" to do that?

Feel free to answer yourself. Which Suicide Squad do you think was more successful?

So the movie's success had nothing to do with the popularity of the character?

If they BRICKED so did Dune

Not really... Dune did $400M and was released the same day on HBO Max.

Shang Chi was a theater exclusive.

We'll find out more when "The Marvels" comes out.. pretty sure most of the movies would have succeeded with that placement.

Both were "successful" in different ways. The former was a B.O. success that ended up being very profitable.

The latter was a critical success that spawned a popular TV series and now has other series green lit because of that...

Feel free to show me a lie.

You get it and your Thanos point illustrates it

Never in my life, even with the MCU existing, did I think Thanos would be a household name.

Everybody is unknown or b team to somebody. The story is what implants you in hearts and minds.

I knew a female that was when we saw Iron Man in 08. That same woman cried like a baby when Tony Stark died.

Storytelling always comes first, and marvel is losing people because the stories are bad

Exactly. I want people to outright say that "Wakanda Forever" is better than the OG "Black Panther" or Dr Strange MoM is better than his first movie.

When quality is on the downwall spiral, and its now directly affecting future films of the MCU, its time to admit that so that they can get out of this rut. Box office numbers aint gonna save you.

 Stop using the “nobody wants to see theses ______ list characters” excuses. When the mainstream audience, didn’t know who half of those characters. Where before the MCU. The only Marvel characters, people probably knew. Was Hulk, Spider-Man, and Wolverine. Batman related heroes/villains, were way more known. Now characters like iron man, are a household name.

I asked which one YOU thought was more successful but it seems you don't know which button to push. lol

How’d this end up in a Marvel vs DC fight again

We are talking about QUALITY of MCU material that has fallen off the cliff
