than Marvel as Aquaman manages to outgross The Marvels 
making the latter the biggest capeshit bomb of year.

@cyberdick. Since, you asked about whether Aquaman will outgross The Marvels or not in the last thread. Here's your answer. It will almost double it.

aquaman is the last movie in a dead cinematic universe that the studio barely bothered to promote and it still made more money than the marvels lmao

Yeah, DC knew the movie was doomed so they cut back on some of the marketing. Apparently, it didn't even have a redcarpet premier.

It was a really weird choice because the first Aquaman was by far it's biggest success somehow.

300 million of its 1.15 billion came from China and that market seems to have abandoned hollywood films for the most part. Considering the general capeshit downward spiral, the film being shit and Mamoa no longer being a novelty, it wasn't that hard to predict it was going to bomb. It was only a question of how big.

Why does anyone think Zaslav would be fired? Because he butchered WB's dying business and is actually making it profitable again? Also, only idiot capeshit consoomers think DC vs Marvel matters to this company even a tiny bit after Zaslav led Discovery on their ridiculous and unexpected bull run during Covid to the point where they put him in charge of the merged company. WBD is way bigger than some washed up bullshit like Aquaman, give me a fricking break.

It's more that they want him to be fired because he cancelled some cartoons
and nuked flicks that were obviously going to flop.
It's less DC vs Marvel and more that Aquaman was expected to be the biggest bomb of the year. The movie wasn't going to be good. WB realised that and decided to cut their losses and be frugal on marketing.
So you had people who already hate Zaslav hoping that this measure backfires and Aquaman bombs even harder. The Marvels just happened to make a convenient benchmark because it's arguably the biggest bomb of the year(tied with maybe Indiana Jones). Of course, now WB stands vindicated with their frugal measures on Aquaman and it's another win for Zaslav/WB (along with other success like Barbie and Wonka). So some of the anti-Zaslav types are disappointed.

I watched season 1 and thought it was pretty shakey. I vaguely recall an android giving north to a flying snake. Is season 2....better? Maybe, constrained? I thought the characters were good, especially Father.

Season 2 is even more batshit crazy. They started adding some more Alien-style horror elements, which was cool. There were lots of interesting sci-fi concepts like the atheists being ruled by an AI supercomputer which decides the best courses of action for the colony. The main complaint I saw was that it would end up like Lost where questions wouldn't be answered, but the writer had the entire story arc planned out years before they greenlit it. It's just too bad something so unique and weird was allowed on TV and then brutally extinguished
It was mainly one creative man's vision instead of death by committee slop. But unlike House of the Dragon, people had to actually pay attention instead of going on they darn phones, so it was doomed.

because he cancelled the show I like and therefore deserves death
really I think people are focused too much on the streaming wars, which HBO/WB doesn't seem to be winning
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Yeah they're not winning the streaming wars because the other companies involved are too big to be acquired now. They made some good decisions though, like merging Discovery Plus (which had a surprisingly decent subscriber base believe it or not) into HBO Max and immediately firing everyone involved with that CNN streaming shitshow they were trying to make happen.

Guardians 3 made a bunch this year but I think it's just because people like the IP. Deadpool is out next summer and it'll make a ton because of Ryan Reynolds. They probably won't be greenlighting many more B list hero films though.

That movie was so stupid. I hated it so much. Every plot point was contrived to make the stupidest decision possible. Haven't watched any capeshit since.

Yeah, I dont get why it was so hyped. Even with nostalgia glasses you must have realized that 'the evil guys from previous spiderman movies arent actually evil, we just need to create a serum to heal their evilness' is a gigatrash plot even for a childrens movie.
Jump in the discussion.

It does come off weirdly too since even in those movies they're not really 'evil' because they just are, they're evil because they already had those tendencies in them, it's just that they were enabled to act upon their darker side once they got supered up. Even the goblin was already an butthole, he just got crazier because of doing too much crack.

Never watch the Disney Spider-Man movies. Do they do this shit with Doc Ock as well or just with Green Goblin? For Osborn it makes sense because the Goblin treatment is what made him a full-on mass murderer, but Octavius was only violent because the AI in his arms was overriding his good sense.
Edit: I watch one clip of the big dramatic fight scene at the end, my god this is so fricking bad. All 3 Spider-Men temporarily lose their spider sense so one of them can be dramatically back-stabbed, and we don't actually see the stab happen or any blood, just a *snikt* sound effect and Toby Maguire's o-face.

yeah the Doc isn't really a villain in that movie, he's just kind of there. I think Tobey Maguire gets better too. One thing I do think is funny is how they couldn't get the sandman actor, so they just CGI'd him in the entire time.

Thomas Haden Church was in the film and he showed up as a human at the end of the film. He probably doesn't get much screentime because he's not nearly as big as Molina, Foxx, and Dafoe. Rhys Evans barely gets any screentime, although Church should've gotten more time b/c the lizard villain is utterly forgettable.

Really? I honestly thought that they just had him phone in some voicelines and then replayed old footage from 'man 3 when they needed him in human form. Darn.

I only watched the last like 30 minutes of that. I thought it was kind of funny as a metaphor about superheroes in that he basically sacrifices his humanity, relationships and everything so that he can just keep doing capeshit shit for the viewing audience.
I just don't understand what the stakes for Peter are in this universe since he could just send his family into superhero protective custody or whatever since the world's full of random heroes.
