This is misleading. Endgame has more profits. They only used ROI

Endgame was objectively weak sequel to Infinity War.

Having the series end with the ultimate bad guy winning would be the greatest plot twist of all time.

I'd settle with just having some of the people stay dead. The green chick definitely shoulda' fucking died.

The capeshitters think it was a big deal that Iron man died, like Robert Downey is gonna stoop to making 12 more films for those manbabies.

Let it be known that Robert Downey Junior won't denigrate himself for millions of dollars 13 times.

twice in a row

Harvesting karma from dramatards by repeating a slight variation of the same joke 😎

Fans should have loved that ending. It was the payoff for ten years of character development. Downey took the character from being a self-centered asshole to being the kind of self-centered asshole you might believe would give his life for others.

RDJ being so iffy when asked about doing Iron Man 4 should have been a red flag for these people

the capeshitter think

And that’s where we disagree

Lol they wouldn't ruin the inevitable Guardians sequels by killing off the main love interest

It was pathetically stupid how she just kicked starlord in the balls. The love of this dude’s life was murdered, he sees her alive, and then LE EBIN BALL JOKE

that's the worst part of Marvel movies. they can't stop the fucking jokes. 98% of the dialogue is QUIP QUIP QUIP QUIP QUIP QUIP QUIP QUIP QUIP QUIP.

Wait, she did die though? The new Gamora is a different version and lacks all of the previous one's memories

Which makes the plot of Guardians 3 predictable

I wonder how James Gunn feels about it lol. That probably made writing it a lot more difficult.

They really wrote themselves into a corner

You sound like a DC fan.

Darkseid is. Drama is.

Infinity War was better because a lot of capeshitters' favorites "died"

Infinity War also had tension and a great villain, something almost every marvel movie lacks

Also think about all the people who have jobs because of CGI.

LMAO

I hear CGI studios are run like sweatshops.

They are.

The company that made some of the primary CGI for the movie Life of Pie were accepting an award for their work while simultaneously shutting down their company.in general, vfx work for major film is like a revolving door of companies.

Damn, that sucks. You should spill some more juicy details about the industry, creative industry worker's rights violation drama is both juicy and underappreciated

I don't have much in the way of personal knowledge. I followed things for a bit because it sorta blew my mind that such a talented group to win a fucking award was also closing down at the same time for a contract they just finished.

From what I read, most vfx work is done on a contract basis. Set amount of cash for set amount of scenes. And that work is bid on so there is competition. Places like Vancouver offer incentives to run those sorts of companies which allows for those companies to bid lower and always running on crunch mode because shots are delivered to them up till days before a movie is released.

I would watch Life After Pi, it's a good documentary on the end of Rhythm and Hues, the guys who did Life of Pi and highlights a lot of problems in that field.

Sounds like an even shittier version of the animation and game industries. I'll check out the documentary- thanks!

Also you should read about the Korean sweatshops that were contracted to animate adventure time

I can't find anything- got any links?

I'm pretty sure the simpsons was also animated by korean sweatshops. You might have some luck searching for that.

You forgot to mention how when they started criticizing the company and vfx work the academy cut their mic.

Gotta love the academy

Award shows are bullshit and meaningless anyways. I think best “blank” of the year is always completely subjective.

The best movie awards is almost always ridiculously off. Best script is quite as bad.

There's this weird thing where if there is some game changing woke movie in contention, like brokeback mountain or black klansmam, they always putt and choose instead some utterly mediocre but also woke alternative (The Green Book, Crash).

I call it the "furry Chris Kyle effect". Awarding mediocre, woke movies guarantees that people won't think you gave the movie the award because it was good.

Watching award shows is almost as bad as watching capeshit. Like you're basically intentionally watching advertisements.

It's great entertainment though if you remember that this year they're not going to be able to go back to an Epstein-owned mansion to fuck kids when it's over

damn they'll just have to settle for getting off their face on coke and fucking eachother

[removed]

It's worse because you unironically care that someone else agrees w your opinion

Seth MacFarlane made it funny when he hosted that one year because his whole thing is making fun of celebrities.

The best part of McFarlane hosting my was all the cuts to celebrity eactions, they were so fucking pissed

I heard some of that was misleading. Like for some reason they made you think Charlize Theron was pissed even though she and Seth are friends and have worked together on more than one occasion

Plus i don’t think he’s ever made a jab at her so idk why she’d be pissed anyway

yeah because none of those celebrities knew what was going to happen.........

The academy hasn't been about merit since the mid 90s.

Never heard this before, but here it is for anyone curious https://youtu.be/OH5Pc8Gd1lo?t=153

Yeah they are mostly not unionized unlike everybody else in the film business.

Remember when Seth Rogen’s food porn comedy movie blacklisted animators who wouldn’t do unpaid overtime

CG work is tedious shit, imagine being a glorified assembly line wagie

This proves DC movies are better than Marvel movies

People forget the dark knight trilogy, way better than anything marvel has put out recently

recently ever

Muh Ang Lee's Hulk

Why would you remind anyone that movie exists?

How could you forget?

Purposely

People forget the dark knight trilogy, way better than anything marvel has put out recently ever

there was three of them?

First one was great, 2nd one had great acting from Heath Ledger and 3rd one was typical capeshit.

Hardy was pretty good. And Patrick bateman as batman worked great imo

"is that a batsuit?"

"YES IT IS !"

3rd one was great! If only for the baneposting

it's too early in the morning for my brain to understand if this is a joke I am not getting or if I am remembering everythign wrong. wasn't heath ledger in the first one, and cillian murphey in the second one, and bane in the third one?

remind me to watch some peaky blinders, forgot about that

Hey, don't forget about Sam Raimi's Spiderman trilogy and the first two Blade movies. That stuff, especially Raimi's work was some good shit

Yeah but isn’t that Sony? I consider that separate. Same with Logan, it’s Fox

Good point, I meant that there are good marvel movies. But, definitely not the MCU. Although I did enjoy the first Iron Man cause it was good and light and stood on it's own. Once they started setting up a universe, it just increasingly devolved into fan service and mainstream pandering.

I think Winter Soldier is still the best MCU film because it's basically a spy flick with I'm a sucker for

Goddamn I love Logan so much.

I just watched the 1978 version of Superman. THAT was way better than anything marvel has put out recently

Capeshit is still capeshit.

Well we get what we deserve

That’s like saying cancer is better than Ebola.

This proves DC movies with a cohesive artistic vision are better than Marvel movies crafted with studio interference.

Barring a couple of films, MCU has only delivered bottom-tier embarrassing crap.

Well, seems I won’t be downvoted anymore for saying that.

Does anyone even remember end game

Outside of the cringier bits of the final fight I literally cannot remember anything that happened in that movie after they killed Thanos the first time around.

watching capeshit

ok consoomer

I was mildly curious and watched a cam torrent on another monitor a couple weeks after release, if that makes me a consoomer I'll just have to find a way to cope with that.

Seethe

It is ok to admit it lol are you scared of telling internet people you watched a movie?

Think he’s joking

🐒

I'm not. I like capeshit, but I'm also retarded so 🤷🏽‍♀️

You support mayor Pete so that's a given

Gotta make sure the cool folk on Drama don't think he watches superhero movies.

[removed]

I can feel them acting behind green sheets it’s so dead inside

I remember the dropped storylines and character development from infinity war and thinking that it was shitty the told and didn't show.

Telling is fast.

capeshit makes me sick. compiling every character you have ever chat out and making an "epic crossover" movie about it and then it actually being considered successful is something i can't even think of without gagging like a SRDine when they drink normal milk.

Civil War was the only film I've fallen asleep in theaters for, I don't know why people go nuts over that boring formulaic wonderbread garbage. Haven't seen any capeshit since then but Joker, which was hamfisted and poorly-constructed in some respects but pretty entertaining

Joker was a C+, tried too hard to be grim and Phoenix carried it on his back

It reminded me of Precious but with capeshit and white people. Pheonix was fantastic tho.

It reminded me of Precious but with capeshit and white people. Phoenix was fantastic tho.

I honestly believed you were Neoro-typical until now, but now I know better

Wow rude! I am 100% serious tho

I honestly think that's an insult to Joker however overhyped it maybe.

Hamfisted is the only way to stay true to the source material tho

That's fair enough, but a good portion of the movie felt more like a string of shitty things happening to the protagonist without much of a narrative. Some things that should have been a bigger focus, like the protest movement, felt like an afterthought, while others felt like they got a bit too much focus. If it had been longer then maybe it would have been executed better and with more nuance, idk

Yeah, good points; I thought the same on the protests and shit. Again, comicbook-like in the one-dimensionality but that's a copey kind of excuse. Capeshit is a meme for a reason after all.

I thought the protests were purposely an afterthought. Dude was causing widespread mayhem and didn't even realize he was doing it.

I think the protest aspect was perfect. He never wanted a movement, he didn't even want to kill those guys. He was defending himself, he didn't know they were rich. The protests to him were just like any of the other events that happened to him. He may not have even thought they were real, and were just another hallucination

The film actually has a lot of postmoderm elements in its embrace is an unreliable narrative. I think it's kind of undefined whether he is actually Thomas Wayne's child and thus batmans brother for instance. Like the movie seems to pretty clearly indicate that his mother was crazy, but the last bit you see on it is Author Fleck looking at a picture of his mother with the caption "You look lovely - TW". Like maybe she wrote that and ask the letters to play into her delusions? But Thomas Wayne definitely does have the power to do all those crazy things she said he did to cover up the child, that you assume is just her being crazy. Although both her and her son are in fact crazy and unreliable with regards to their telling of events.

Also numerous things presented as fact on screen are later clearly revealed to be total delusion, making you question even things that weren't clearly shown to be delusion.

I like things like that, it did keep me thinking after the movie. However, there was a lot about the movie that was hamfisted and cringe. That said, the msm reaction to it is retarded.

He was defending himself,

Not against the last guy, who was crippled and running for his life.

That's a solid interpretation, but to the viewer it sort of came from nowhere because they didn't put the protest into any sort of context. All we know is that the joker is piss poor and that wall street douchebags exist- that's it. What were the wider social conditions that would spark a protest like that? There was no indication; it seems like 'insert your grievance with rich people' ad libs where the audience had to come up with the story based upon their own understanding of the political conditions they live in which means that the film could age poorly if in a few years there's nothing like OWS to reference.

I think it stands independently of OWS. Gotham is paralleled to Joker himself. He's barely kept afloat by the counseling and drugs given to him by the city, like how gottem city is barely scraping by with trash overflowing and crime rampant. The leaders don't care about the city just like how they don't care about him. Once he finally snaps, so does the city. He doesn't care about "his" movement because by that point he only cares about covering for himself. Once he kills for the first time, his entire plotline is a frantic scramble of him barely defending himself and getting out of trouble while being hunted by the police, ignored by his "dad" and mocked on television all while his mind continuously deteriorates, only to finally come to an end when he is rescued by his movement directly. At this point the parallel elements of joker and his movement finally converge. If it happened beforehand I don't think it would have been as satisfying of a conclusion.

The garbage strike and the cuts to his mental health treatment suggest a kinda brutal austerity i suppose

It seems cliché because your life is a mess.

Tell me more

They were telegraphing that this movie was an homage to Taxi Driver so hard that they had to put DeNiro in it. If they hadn't, it wouldn't have been obvious enough to the kind of people who inhabit /r/movies.

I remember the hull dabbed and at that point I was glad I didn't pay for it.

I consider this an absolute win!

Movie was zoomer bait

> hulk dabbing while taking a selfie

> fat thor playing fortnite and screaming at teammates on mic

I think there was time travel

I have to admit your title claiming highest earning vs most profitable almost got me reeing, wp.

Didn’t see either one gang reporting in

I can’t wait to see which villain Marvel tries and fails to make a “Joker” style movie about.

They don't have any characters that fit the mold, and with the exception of Captain Marvel (mostly because they cast Bitch Pudding in the lead role) they've done a decent job of transferring the essence of their characters to the screen.

Marvel will never do that. Dramatic acting is hard and it's easy to make a bad film if you get it wrong. Marvel will instead appear to approach seriousness in their films but then end the scene on a joke.

Marvel will never stop pumping out garbage movies for the manbabies. Why would they?

make 40billion movies

Top selling franchise

make one society movie cuz the director hates sjws

Beats all that stuff above

REEEEE

ROI is a stupid metric. Just designed to confuse the laymen.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It's the most profitable not the highest earning ya dingus.

That's even more impressive retard

You're an even more impressive retard

Oh stop it you

The best part about this is Joker is basically a cheap rip off of two scorsese movies

Taxi Driver and what else?

King of comedy

I'd disagree, but anyone who says this doesn't want their mind changed in the first place

I saw it last night, and it's a great movie, but dude's right. They even cast DeNiro to make it obvious.

I think you're confusing rip-off with inspiration. Scorsese himself wanted to direct Joker at one point, I don't think it's fair to call it a King of Comedy ripoff

Cope

Everything is a rip off when boiled down to its basic structure.

Your mom is a ripoff

/r/imazoomerandthisisdeep

All you have to do is ignore everything and it's all been overdone

The best part of this is that he doesn't have a superpower. He's just a highly motivated crazy person.

Don't care. Want to see the Snyder cut of Joker.

Joker sucked. It should have had more cross-overs, product placement and progressive imagery. Why didn't Arthurs mum buy him a switch if he was so sad? Why didn't he try medicinal marijuana? I would have squealed if they made it a halloween special and young bruce wayne came to arthurs door dressed as batman, trick or treating. If there was such an issue with garbage in the city, more people in America have the sense to switch to the recyclable bottles of soylent, as well as the FACT the drink itself is better for the environment and toxic masculinity

This is the most Reddit type comment I’ve ever seen.

More then avengers endgame wow

That is seriously impressive though

Haven't seen a movie in 2 years. moviecels cope

It's really obvious when you dumbasses bleed over into the post.
