This is my main gripe with those X-Men films. They miss the mark when it comes to being discriminated against in society. Being black, a woman, and a mutant...

Breh we've been over this lol. You can have a great comic book movie that is very smart and touch on societal issues just like some of the best books do. That Green Lantern/Green Arrow comic from the 70s was for "kids" but it talked about racism, discrimination, drug use, war, poverty, etc. Dark Knight was all about terrorism and the response to it. And the original x men comics are all about racial discrimination or any discrimination. Stan said he pitted Professor X to be MLK and Magneto to be Malcolm. He always had something to say about any major thing of the day and incorporated it into his comics. Harry's drug abuse, the discrimination of all kinds in x men, America's obsession with radioactivity and cold war fears of what would happen if they dropped the bomb on us, etc

The allusions can still be there and are still there in some cases. The X men movies still deal with discrimination obviously or at least they have. I know there's a subplot in the new one of mutants still being persecuted and hunted down for being different and not getting fair trials, etc. But just like in comic books, not all of the shyt is overt. Some of it is in the background, some of it is layered in, and in some cases, it doesn't exist at all. But Dark Knight made a billion dollars and it's got a lot going on with it and says a lot

Age of Ultron is "getting it right"? The movie was very average, polarizing at best and Jurassic World and Fast 7 made more money than it. People talk about all this shyt about laying the groundwork and you got dinosaurs and Dom and Brian doing more then they did..
I love this argument :dead: those did better than everyone and ultron still made over a billion. Anything to try and demean what they accomplished :mjlol: don't let batman and friends make less than j world or F7 or I'm going in :russ: especially if it's less than ultron

Batman highlight of the film. Expected.

They better hope batman saves their asses or it's over :lupe:
After Man of Steel DC should have focused on getting people invested in Superman
Instead WB ran right back to Zack Snyder and told him do whatever you want fam
If this movie doesn't break bank big time(like at least a billion) I think they are gonna wash their hands of Superman and Snyder altogether

I always said that Marvel insults their viewers low key by conditioning them not to strive to be better. Dumbing down their dialogue and storylines to make the most $ is what they bank on.

They dumb it down somewhat to include kids. You know the people who get most excited about superheroes? You want a movie for you, Marvel makes movies for as many demos as possible.

Why would it get sold?
On the television side, cord cutting is killing the business. Television Advertising is changing where it's hard to recoup a return on a investment. On the film side they haven't done a great job at incorporating their property that they currently own into successful films. There were talks earlier about Fox Corp buying Time Warner, which could happen. Also, there were talks that Apple might buy them, but I don't believe that will happen.

True but will it do $1.5-6B+ :jbhmm: I mean they're Icons that people have been waiting to see together for years right? :mjpls:


Why low-ball and cap it at just $1B or just a bit over :mjpls:.
I didn't cap it, I was saying that's the lowest it'll do since it's Bats and Supes together
