I keep seeing this "Deadpool 3 is their first hit in a long time" and I wonder if we're just acting as if Guardians 3 didn't make 800M, the year before Doc Strange 2 almost hitting a billion and No Way Home just doing it's thing...three years ago?
As the live-action
#OnePiece
series is slowly wrapping up, I had an idea and gave it my best shot at a tribute faux poster for the upcoming
#Netflix
series
Can't wait to see what
@stevemaeda
and his team have in store for us all
I like that he looks back on it fondly, cause he did some amazing work in this franchise - and understands how the genre is generally being played down for no reason
Robert Downey Jr. says his Iron Man performance in Marvel movies is some of his greatest acting work.
"I think I did some of the best work I will ever do, but it went a little bit unnoticed because of the genre."
I mean, one can't look at this and not be surprised that it'll provoke a reaction with such an out-there comparison
already saw "Fan4stic had better Mr. Fantastic" and just highlights how discussions on here create a bizarro world look at media
I stay awake at night wondering how Kang is considered "not developed enough" while remembering the "in his chair" jokes about Thanos during the earlier phases
Before Infinity War, Thanos showed up in 2 post credits and less than 3 minutes of GOTG.
That’s like 4 minutes in 18 movies.
And they got away with it.
I think about that once a week.
This statement isn't towards fans, it's towards those critics that downplay this type of media's standing for performance and acting - he has openly said he saw it as his best work but certain groups still won't even give it a glance
“I played a guy named Tony in the MCU for about 12 years. And then recently Chris Nolan suggested I attempt an understated approach as a last-ditch effort to resurrect my dwindling credibility.”
- Robert Downey Jr on winning the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor.
It’s so clear after rewatching The Avengers that this saga was planned from the beginning and it was planned beautifully from start to finish. I only pray they regain that spark.
@mattroembke
They are banking way too much on Oppenheimer, which is a singularity rather than the rule - not even original stuff like The Creator made bank
"These Marvel movies are wayy too long!"
*Doctor Strange 2 is shorter than expected*
"Oh my gooood, how could they make it shorter?! Never going to work!"
It's also funny that people complain that having Disney+ shows AND films makes it way too complicated to follow
But complained that Agents of SHIELD and Daredevil weren't connected enough
Phase 4 was flawed, but it was pretty much as flawed as Phase 2 and 1 was - but people have projected this Endgame stamp on the entire franchise that creates an even bigger dissonance nowadays
The range of complaints is crazy
REVIEW:
#OnePieceNetflix
not only does what many said was impossible but more importantly may be among
#Netflix
's best first seasons.
Read the Full Review Here:
"Haha Marvel film got a B+, it's terrible and WOM is terrible"
Where was this discussion/point of view with The Northman, Black Phone, Massive Talent, etc. - then it's suddenly "people just didn't understand it!"
Captain Carter is now a “industry plant” because she has a somewhat recurring role in a series
Are people nitpicking so much they forgot how stories work?
EXCLUSIVE: Michael Waldron has been tapped to write Marvel Studios‘ Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. Waldron had already been set to write the installment that would follow Kang Dynasty and will now write both films. Waldron has become one of Marvel’s most trusted creative minds
Seeing reactions to that Echo fight scene is slowly highlighting that no matter what Marvel does, people will have a problem and just find something to complain about
marvel fucked up hollywoods entire perception of a successful release for like a decade straight. it used to be that movies would chill in theaters for months at a time, building a box office by word of mouth. Now if one doesn’t make god tier money out of the gate it’s a failure
So we can put to rest that Echo was a failure, if it boosts three different series' viewership significantly it's doing a bit part of MCu's biggest advantage on Disney+
It's depressing for people to look at
#BlackWidow
and their first thought: "It's too late for this!"
Is it? Very likely.
But would you've preferred they didn't make it at all?
The only negative for this TV overhaul at
#MarvelStudios
is that we are going to have to wait longer for some shows.
Other than that, I see a studio listening to their fans, listening to their creatives, and showing some awareness.
Where most other studios just never change.
The Razzie Award long-list includes:
• Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania (6 categories including Worst Picture and Worst Director).
• Indiana Jones (2 categories including Worst Sequel).
• Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood & Honey (5 categories including Worst Picture & Worst Screen

Wouldn't be surprised if they start pushing more people towards Home Office to reduce the necessity for office space, reduce rental costs to cover the pandemic losses
Honestly, Phase 4 + 5 was MCU's most diverse outing and I worry what exactly Iger is heading towards, either these are words just for business men that know nothing
or he honestly is going to turn Disney into the wrong direction completely as they still are too scared
So, two things: Officially no longer Marvel Studios but Marvel Television branding (clever) and quality is certainly up as their logos finally look much better
People somehow want the old MCU back but also complain that they didn't give directors a voice, now that they gave them more freedom they are "fleeting moments"
Going even by some Guardians 3 reactions, it feels like it's all over the place as no one know what their "MCU" is
They never had an outright bad/terrible film, they've had growing pains but in their most experimental we got some higher highs and lower lows - and I still believe at worst something was just "okay" personally
With only 4 days, can we just give a massive round of applause to
@OP_Netflix_Fan
and
@OPLAfandom
for how much work they put in for this series as we prepare for its release?
The MCU has flaws, of course it fucking does, but people acting as if it's only value was in the most minute things just keeps making me question if we truly ever deserved it in the first place
They are definitely moving further away from "everything is Marvel Studios" - it's still Marvel Studios, still mostly MCU but more distinction from a branding helps make the films stand out more
Supes, the "film my reaction over a post-credit sequence in a cinema" guy, has been part of the problem of just overly negative reactions to the MCU for years now - this isn't new
A script is leaked, stolen even and Marvel is trying to make sure it doesn't happen again
Only the Internet can turn this into: "They blame the internet for Ant-Man 3 failing" even if it has absolutely no correlation to any of that
We went from "there's no clear goal with these loosely connected films" to Ant-Man 3 releasing which led us right back to "they are only advertising the next film" even if...only Ant-Man 3's post-credit technically did
And it's crazy how MCU discourse always does this
Last year I said the MCU isn't dead, Phase 4 was still some of their strongest storytelling
Guardians 3 felt like another high point and The Marvels has the chance, maybe next year could change our mind
But online: the MCU is dead, there's no winning anymore
Now that I ran about 6 articles in an hour on
#ThorLoveandThunder
, my thoughts:
Trailer looks fine, film is hiding a lot and the trailer didn't really hook me personally but I think they are definitely holding back a lot
For those going: "well Super Mario, Avatar and Top Gun had people coming back!"
Three movies overperforming in two years are not a good sign of a healthy box office, the exceptions continue to become less and less
With “Avenger: Endgame,” people went to the movies multiple times to watch the epic blockbuster. Now, there’s less of a need to make multiple trips to the multiplex. Moviegoers can wait a matter of months (or less) for a film to land on streaming.
If Marvel Studios let Chloé Zhao do her thing with sets, using the golden hour etc, why are we assuming that the DP was "forced" upon her by Marvel? Why is that always the first assumption?
#MadameWeb
scores a C+ Cinemascore. Even THE MARVELS managed a B. But the grade is the same as Sony's other Spidey-centric movie MORBIUS. Anyway, here's the box office via
@PamelaDayM
where Web is only going to make $25.8M this weekend.
Michael Douglas wanted out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and asked the studio to kill off Hank Pym in "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania."
“I said I’d like to have a serious [death], with all these great special effects. There’s got to be some fantastic way where I can shrink
It's kind of ironic that with the whole Multiverse Saga happening they didn't go with a Gorr adaptation starring three interdimensional Thor's

is the most detached MCU project and builds its own pocket of mythology in the best way possible.
It's humor and style are so distinct, especially with how it starts embracing the stranger parts that define the character. A definite watch for anyone!
Marvel, which traditionally only solicits feedback from Disney employees and their friends and families, took the uncharacteristic step of holding a public test screening for “The Marvels” in Texas. The audience gave the film middling reviews.
People mad about Blade getting delayed and losings its director but things sometimes don’t work out
If the script isn’t ready, y’all say they rushed it and didn’t care
Still amazed just how much the VFX discussion misses how good some of the VFX work Marvel's team put into the films, but one single littel wonky shot just drags down the entire franchise
What a blast
#MsMarvel
is and it feels like Marvel Studios’ Disney+ ventures have entered a new era as the series truly lives up to many modern high school series with a heroic twist
