political views, im going with star wars
this is facts. im surprised tho the people i know offline are siding with Guardians. but you're right about episode 9 clearing a billion. that movie has the potential to singlehandedly save the publics perception of TFA and TLJSolo was a huge flop and that can’t be ignored but it can also be chalked up to the fact that nobody has ever asked for a Han Solo movie that didn’t star Harrison Ford.
Imagine Marvel dropping a star lord film starring Boyd Holbrook
Episode 9 is gonna clear a billion and the same can’t be said about GOTG3 with any certainty.
I'm just going by what i'd rather go to the theater and watch today
now if its Luke prequel set after Return of the Jedi and before Episode 7 or a Yoda origin story then I'm rolling with star wars
but if its anything else I'm rolling with Guardians
Never thought I'd say this but if Guardians 3 and Episode 9 dropped the same day I'd see Guardians 3 first
Episode 7 being meh and 8 pissing people off killed their brands imo, more so than the prequels
Pretty much all this.
"Star Wars" is one of the most over rated franchises in history. The first 3 are classic....then there's literally 30 years until the next one....and the next 3 were fukking awful. Any other franchise would've been dead in the water after that....but no, "The Force Awakens", which was a weak rehash of the first movie comes out and breaks records.
Then "Rogue One" was dope....but "The Last Jedi" was divisive, at best. Then "Solo" flops.
This is a long winded way of saying I have no idea why people still look forward to Star Wars movies. Their track record is spotty as fukk. "GOTG" is nowhere near the original trilogy but in 2018 I'd take a Guardians movie over a new Star Wars in a heart beat.
