The more I read about this movie and Marvel's latest stuff, the worse it gets.

Apparently the director left during post-production to work on another movie and people were like "wtf". Same director that was talking about how Feige has so much control, that she didn't even know what was going on in several scenes.

Why are you guys assuming Disney screened this in some barn in the middle of nowhere. Texas is home to some of the largest, most diverse urban areas in the country.

But the red parts of Texas are super, duper red, even in the nice areas.

According to Collider the director did post-production from London and didn't leave the project. Might explain why some people assumed she did.

Yeah, she didn't leave the project, but she still left to do another project. I didn't even realize the OP link is same as where I read this from another topic.

Then eyebrows were raised again when DaCosta began working on another film while The Marvels was still in postproduction the filmmaker moved to London earlier this year to begin prepping for her Tessa Thompson drama Hedda. (A representative for DaCosta declined to comment.)

If youre directing a $250 million movie, its kind of weird for the director to leave with a few months to go, says a source familiar with the production.

Tbf the Marvel's film was delayed multiple times iirc and had multiple reshoots. She most likely had contractual obligations to start production on her next film. Also it's not like the director for these Marvel movies have to be there for post when Feige supposedly runs the show anyway lol

Which just goes back to her complaining about this exact thing and not knowing shit she was filming.

I understand why she would have left, but it still seems like she wasn't happy overall.

I think maybe she was doing both projects at the same time?

https://collider.com/the-marvels-director-nia-dacosta-exit-post-production/
The studio is fighting an uphill battle on several fronts, with struggles all-around including the rumor The Marvels director Nia DaCosta was not involved in post-production. We have heard this report is not true and she was very much involved in the editing process while based in London.

No idea if this is normal.

I think it's maybe one of those things where context got lost somewhere and it sounds worse than it was. The source might have meant just left the country/workplace and not the movie.

I mean, yeah. The directors on these films (especially the fresh off a hit indie film directors) seem to get the raw end of the deal for the most part. She most likely did this film because having a blockbuster credit is huge. Unfortunately she signed on during the worst time for this franchise. Now she'll probably have to make 4 amazing movies to wash the stink off from this one.

I don't blame her for being unhappy when I'm sure a good majority of the problems that arose during this films production had nothing to do with her or her directing.

Seems like people liked her other two movies quite a fair bit at least. Hopefully she got what she needed out of it.

I think Disney in general has the reputation for these movies more than most of the director's these days. Do people even give a shit about the Russo Brothers movies that aren't the Avengers?

I think it's pretty obvious what happened. She wasn't happy with it and moved on as soon as she could, while still finishing her contractual obligations.

It seems worse because she already complained about how much overall control Feige has several months ago.

I think it's why Disney shit is now full of new directors that have only a movie or two to their name and not even that sometimes. As we saw with Star Wars, damn near every established director eventually left due to creative differences.

The Russo's got blank check budgets to make those garbage movies due to their Marvel work. That is pretty much every one of these directors' dreams after working on a Marvel movie. Well, not to make a bad film but to get a no questions asked deal lol

It's not that her name will be tarnished in the eyes of the audience (though let's face it, it's absolutely possible she'll go through the ringer online with the amount of vitriol that accompanies anything female, diverse, and with Bri Larson) but she will most likely have a harder time acquiring funding for her next higher budget film.

Every trailer I've seen has Brie Larson doing nothing but make stupid faces
Ms. Marvel actress is still doing the stupid everything excites her voice
No idea what the plot is
We've seen two seconds of the main villain

No shock the movie will be bad.

Monica Rambeau / Nick Fury are going to (once again) carry this movie.

It's an MCU film, which are pretty inoffensive in general. Unless the area was filled with Brie Larson hating white supremacists who only watch movies without bipoc leads, there really isn't reason to expect them to be averse to a MCU film for any reason other than state of the franchise.
