Zithers 02/14/23 2:54:05 PM #1:	Ant-Man is only on pace to make $120m over a four day weekend and is receiving middling reviews. Yeah, still plenty of money, but probably can go ahead and call it a disappointment. Plus, critics are no longer pretending to like the MCU. The DC universe is a mess with no one understanding what direction they're even going in. I'm guessing in the next 5-10 years they will lose their grip to something even more sinister... video game adaptations. How depressing is it that video game adaptations will just replace superhero movies? The double whammy of The Last of Us and Super Mario Bros. will usher in a new dark age for the film and television mediums as we see terrible adaptations of God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Halo, Fortnite, and so forth poison the world. Very upsetting for those who cherish quality cinema. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m02lct2g9l1qdlvg6o1_500.gif https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1283-quality-cinema-club <cite>Zithers posted [p:971565163] in Are superh...

Gobstoppers12 02/14/23 3:01:13 PM #12:	I think the movies being cranked out just aren't quite as hype as the ones leading up to Infinity War. That said, Black Panther 2 made $850 million, doctor strange 2 made $950 million, Thor 4 (which got surprisingly bad word of mouth) made $750 million, and there's Spider-Man: No Way Home which made $1.9 billion. They may not be making a billion every time, but they're making plenty. I think this phase as a whole just isn't as interesting to audiences as the Infinity saga, but people still go to see them. Some characters pull more money than others, but they're all successful. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry. <cite>Gobstoppers12 posted [p:971565295] in Are superh...

There's not a huge benefit to seeing a comedy or a drama in a theater--I personally like having a full house to laugh along with, but for most people they just want to watch it for free at home. Comedies, dramas, and artsy indie shit make a lot more sense at home. Big CGI visual spectacles in 3D with booming sound effects and high intensity music make a lot more sense as a theater experience. I prefer the theater for every kind of movie, but audiences in general don't anymore. There's a reason recent attempts at drama and comedy films have mostly fallen short. It's because those movies get watched at home instead. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry. <cite>Gobstoppers12 posted [p:971566513] in Are superh...
