Captain Marvel: The MCU's First Failure?

[Karha of Honor]

I don't answer rhetorical questions.

Give me some strong level headed speculation.

My strong level-headed speculation is that however well these movies do, y'all will spin-doctor or conspiracy theory your way to it "not counting" because really there can't be that many shills ready to watch ess-jay-dubble-yoo propaganda because y'all get butthurt when verifiable facts don't agree with your confirmation bias.

Try to push that sj stuff in a big budget movie that is new IP and it falls on it's face.

See what I mean, folks? 8D If at first you don't succeed, redefine success so you were right all along!

Yeah the movie's gonna make a billion dollars.

Funny thing about Star Wars putting an effort to casting more POC is that it’s not actually a SJW thing or leftist tactic, it’s Disney recognizing that when you start implementing more diverse actors it attracts a larger audience and increases its chances at the box office. It took too long for Hollywood to realize this because right wingers like Ike Perlmutter didn’t believe movies like BLACK PANTHER or CAPTAIN AMERICA could make a billion dollars because they literally thought “black and female lead movies don’t make money”. It’s always been a short sighted point of view.

WTF is 8D?


I provided some context. This shit fails long term or fails even harder with no long term IP backing it up.

How did that outdated melanin magic work out for TLJ?

Okay tell me more about this Hollywood right wing cabal.

[Makeshift Python]

TLJ made a billion dollars. I say it worked out fine.

It divided the fanbase worse than the prequels. They coudl have cast me in a Star Wars movie and dub over it. The color of the potagonists had little to do with it's success.

Were the prequels a success just because they made boatlads of money?

[Makeshift Python]

It divided the fanbase worse than the prequels.

Inconsequential.

Not at all if you pay 4 billion for something and you are a publicly traded company.

If you don’t like it it’s probably no longer meant for you so you might as well just drop it.
