Christopher R Taylor Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Spider-Man No Way Home seems to be doing really well, at least 300 mill its first weekend. Whether it can keep this up or not we'll see but word of mouth is pretty good on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. MID-Nite Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 The trailer for the new Dr. Strange film is out, but you have to see No Way Home to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 No Way Home has earned 600 million so far in its first week, that's a serious hit. And... it makes the previous couple Marvel films look really wan and weak. All the excuses we've heard for why they didn't do well are not adding up. pinecone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glade it is doing well and as soon as it releases for general viewing I will most likely see it. As for the MCU movies cratering, well they are. Spider-man may now be linked to the MCU, but it is still being made like the old MCU movies. Actual heroes doing heroic things. Don't worry, they will "fix" Spiderman soon. The next movie will still do well because the audience will expect more of the same, but after they get blindsided, they will not go to the next. The MCU movies did not immediately crater because people base their movie decisions on the last of a series that they saw and anyone with a viable brain cell pays no real heed to "critics" or "reviews". And these days "awards" are generally 180 out from the quality of a movie. The more awards the crappier the movie. If you go and see a movie and it is fantastic, when its squeal or follow-on movie releases you will generally go see it as well. But if it sucks hard enough to change the moons orbit, you will not be back for #3. The last several MCU movies (with the exception of the latest Spiderman) have accelerated in a screaming downward spiral. And most people, including me, don't even consider Spiderman movies as part of the same studio output. The last three Spiderman movies have been an anomalous throwbacks to the great writing and storytelling of the MCU phase one type of movie. It is possible that we could still see good MCU movies, but with them doubling down on the rhetoric I doubt it.

zslane Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 The recent Doctor Strange 2 teaser shows the MCU version of America Chavez. Unfortunately, she's not the America Chavez any comic book reader will recognize. The MCU version is too young, too fully clothed, and apparently in need of protecting. And given her age, it strikes me as highly unlikely that she will be portrayed as a lesbian, as in the comics. In my view, she is America Chavez in name--and possibly power set--only. Oh, they did get the denim jacket right at least. pinecone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 I watched the finale of Hawkeye today. I found it the entire series quite satisfying. And the mid-credits scene? Brilliant.

Unfortunately I think you're right, it feels like a different production company despite the tons of crossover things. I am concerned that they are increasingly making Dr Strange look like a bumbling ass, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, sure but he blew up the dimensional barriers by accident? And the Dr Strange trailer makes it look like he's kind of a fool too.

Matt the Bruins Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Not for me. I was cringing so hard I feared I'd sprain something. I did enjoy the finale though, particularly Kate and Yelena's scenes together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
