The Marvels is on course to open below $50 million which would make it the lowest opening weekend of a Marvel movie, even below The Incredible Hulk. It could also become one of if not the biggest bomb this year and claim the title for biggest drop after a $1 billion movie

Actually, it isn't 'go woke, go broke,' it's audiences getting tired of bad superhero movies. No, I am not interested in discussing what makes The Marvels shitty.

it's true tho

well not necessarily the "woke" part on its own but that's definitely a significant part, I'd say 10-15% of it. Mostly it's because the cgi is just not as captivating anymore - any armchair youtuber can produce similar cgi (i.e. looks real enough)

And so now the weight falls all on the story, which Also has degraded. Not only that but similar to the cgi situation there are more writers able to reach a bigger fanbase so more tropes and stories are being read.. so marvel either needs to really step up their game or they will lose to smaller productions.

This is where the "woke" part comes in: so the cgi doesn't quite 'feel' extraordinary, and neither does the story. And they are focusing on the cast. They are themselves falling into a cliche trope of putting a patch of tape on a pipe with a small leak while tank is overflowing. Casting diverse actors does frick all for the actual story and special effects.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk, haven't seen a marvel movie made in the last 5-10 years btw.

Youtube recommendations gonna be crazy when this drops

Main reason I'm dreading it. The discourse around this is going to be awful - marvel studios flair

I just want to see my Marvel/DC movies in peace but the discourse about them online are exhaustingly negative

lool
