THE MARVELS REVIEWS​

v1.YzszNTY0O2o7MTk3MTA7MjA0ODszMDA7MzAw
Carla Hay
Culture Mix

The Marvels should be called The Debacles. This superhero disaster is proof that a bloated budget and talented cast members can't save a low-quality movie that is an embarrassment to everyone involved. Tacky cartoons have better dialogue than this mess.

Full Review | Nov 8, 2023

:banderas:
Wordplay all day. Carla Hay got a gift.
Peep the full, scathing, review on Culture Mix :wow:


Nia DaCosta, Megan McDonnell and Elissa Karasik co-wrote the abysmal screenplay for “The Marvels,” which renders all of the characters as shallow vessels to spew out cliché-filled conversations and unfunny jokes. There are 10-year-old kids who can write better dialogue than what’s in “The Marvels.

One of the low points of “The Marvels” is when this cinematic train wreck briefly turns into a musical. It’s in a sequence where Carol, Monica and Kamala visit the planet Aladna, ruled by Prince Yan (played by Park Seo-Joon), who is smitten with Carol. Why is he so smitten? Because (surprise!) Carol married Yan but abandoned him, so technically, Carol is Aladna’s princess. And what happens when Carol returns to Aladna? People break out into song-and-dance numbers, including Yan and Carol acting as if they’re in Aladna’s version of a Disney musical. It’s as cringeworthy as it sounds. :wtf::russ::dead:



At least they can't blame a man for writing a shallow horrible screenplay for an all-woman superhero team-up:troll:

Nice reality check to all those that swore CM made a billion because people actually cared about her and not because it was sandwiched in between the 2 biggest sequels ever

Until the X-Men are introduced I couldn't give 2 shyts about the MCU right now :russell:

The way Disney has taken the reigns of MCU, Wolverine's pro-nouns are gonna be 'they/them':pachaha:

I'm saying it does better than Shazam 2 but not as good as BLACK ADAM


Black adam opened at $67mm

This probably WON'T. :huhldup:

'Shazam 2' and 'The Flash' had no chance. Maybe if they were tremendous movies in their own right but they came fresh off the news that the DC Universe was doing the James Gunn reboot.

'Black Adam' was clowned for that $67M opening and $393M worldwide total. Is 'The Marvels' going to get to those numbers you think?

I been tryin to tell everyone that this shyt is reciprocal because in the long run most big budget studios have periods of creative bankruptcy. Warner Bros. made some terrible Batman movies in the 90s and it wasn't until Nolan came along that it got turned around.

A lot of the MCU movies were mid to trash to begin with but the stans didn't wanna hear it because of the hits that accompanied them. They had one big great idea with Thanos and they killed him off along with Cap and Iron Man.

Nobody actually gave a shyt about most of the other characters. :manny:

MCU would still be going strong if T’Challa was around, they fukked up not recasting. They need a strong legacy character to carry the fold. Thats why they need to hurry up and get Fantastic 4 in the mix, Reed Richards is the only other leader type character left they haven’t killed off

there doesnt seem to be anything good about this film lmao

live in the past brehs .. :hhh:

Iger came back to clean house :ufdup:

"on November 20, 2022, Chapek was ousted by the Disney board with Iger reinstated as CEO"


these films were all under a different disney head.

the effect of Iger coming back will feed through eventually.


:ufdup:

Wrong.



His chain of command, in particular Kareem Daniel was interfering with a drive to create new content. One strategic reason for this was Disney+ and the desire to create content for that.

Daniel was removed as soon as Chapek was gone.

"Disney Dismisses Chapek Deputy Kareem Daniel As Bob Iger Puts “Decision-Making Back In The Hands Of Our Creative Teams

By JAMIE LANG | 11/22/2022 7:00 am | 2

Kareem Daniel, chairman of Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution under Bob Chapek, has left the company
just one day after Disney parted ways with its now-former CEO."


Word on the street was that even Feige (and upwards) were against the Chapek/Daniel strategy.

Everybody does care apparently because for the next few weeks millions of people who won’t even go see if are going to be on social media ripping it.

If the IP is so bad, people shouldn’t care this much.

Marvel had such a long run with the greatest payoff of all time that people are simply spoiled. I wouldn’t even call if super hero fatigue at this point. The market is just different. People got other shyt going on in their lives. Inflation is out of control so people don’t go out to the movies because they either work to much, don’t make enough or both. It is what it is. I use to go to the movies every week. I been stopped.

The IP isn’t bad it’s everything around that sucks that’s gonna cause people to talk about it for clicks. Add to the fact Brie Larson alienating an entire demographic, constant cuts / reshoots, and incoherent pacing and feige approved dialogue, it really contributes to the fatigue.

Girl-boss who holds together three dysfunctional, broken men while being supermom to the most powerful child in existence, and still finds time to be a model. how does she do it?!
