SUPERMAN by James Gunn (OUT now)

[EzekelRAGE]

To your point, I haven’t been a fan of the current phase of marvel. Because of that, iron heart, ant man and the wasp, etc. haven’t been on my radar. Like not one post about any of it outside of this one because I simply have nothing to add. I don’t like what they’ve been doing..

Im in the same boat for the most part. I dipped out on this last few marvel phases as a whole in phase 4. I fukked with Wandavision and loved Loki. Watched FatWS. That show got a lil shaky, cracks was showing for the phase. Then there was bts drama with cutting shyt. Have zero interest in Hawkeye as a character, so definitely wasnt checking out his show. Gave Moon Knight a shot based on ppl hyping him up, dropped it after 2-3 episodes and bushed the phase. Only watched Shang Chi, Spiderman No Way Home, and Wakanda Forever. Really looked forward to Majors/Kang though. Next phase starts, I dont fukk with Antman then on top of that the overall critique I keep hearing is "How Antman already beat Kang". Im like Then the Majors shyt happens and they get rid of him after Loki S2 finishes/aired(I understand they had to as a business) but yea bushed that whole phase and havent watched any of the movies since.

Only reason I know anything about the MCU movies and shyt in this current phase is because the two main black pods I listen to,(Midnight Boys(Ringerverse) and Frames Per Second(Dead End Hip Hop guys) discuss them, I got 2-3 posts about Ironheart and that's me saying "Damn these nikkas killing Ironheart in their review " lol.

Ima give FF a shot just off the strength of me fukking with Doom as a character. If that's shaky, they may lose me til I see how they do Xmen.

Yall brehs should check out Midnight Boys and Frames Per Second podcasts

OFF TOPIC, BUT STILL ON

Spoiler

IMHO Supes vs. Faora is arguably the best hero flick fight scene ever created. A 12 year old film shytting on all of Marvel's fight scenes

Where are people seeing that it's going to be "lucky" to cross $500M? It's having a big opening here in the states, average legs is going to bring it over $300M domestic alone. Europe isn't doing well but that's been the case now for a lot of comic book movies, fatigue might be here

It’s A Bird, It’s A Plane, It’s A Box Office Hit: ‘Superman’ Leaps Higher To $125M Opening – Monday AM Update

'Superman' is opening to $123M, the second best opening ever for director James Gunn.

‘Superman’ Powers To $220M Global Opening; ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Roars To $530M+; ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Soon To Sew Up $1B WW — International Box Office Update

Superman opened to $220 million at the global box office while Jurassic World Rebirth crossed $530M in the 2nd frame and Lilo & Stitch nears $1B

deadline.com

95 Million for an opening overseas is terrible for a Tentpole/comic book move film. It probably won't hit 600 million. And definitely won't hit more than 700 million. Which means it's gonna make way less than MAN OF STEEL, which people deemed a flop back then, and it made 670 million.

If it doesn't make 700, you know exactly what's Gunna happen in here:

Spoiler

And long as paragraphs about movie theater declines

 

[Lonj]

How are people making "flop" predictions so early when the first weekend isn't even over yet? It's still Sunday. shyt the movie might have legs and have a strong second weekend.

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

Spoiler

Why did Lex want his own country when he had a whole pocket universe? That shyt doesn't make sense

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

So movie theaters aren't in decline? They have been for years People wanna hate but when they get called on facts they lose their mind

Also, China has been completely dead. Hollywood tentpoles used to get $200-300M in China alone. If you want to talk box office, do the bare minimum and look at the landscape

 

[verbalkint]

Maybe it's nitpicking but since they leaned into Kansas accents why doesn't Clark have one? Even Cavill dropped a "Mahr" lol.

Yikes if true. This will only fuel the MOS vs plucky Superman debate.

Do the people want Superman snapping necks or slipping on banana peels??

WHY DIDNT LUTHOR JUST KILL SUPERMAN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE?

ULTRAMAN BEAT HIS ASS 2 TIMES
AT THE START OF THE FILM
AND FLEW OFF.

WHY ARE YOU GETTING
PERMISSION FROM THE GOVERNMENT
WHEN YOUVE BEEN DOING
ALL SORTS OF SUPER ILLEGAL
shyt BEHIND THE SCENES?

WHY DIDNT HE KILL HIM
WHEN HE HAD HIM TRAPPED
IN THE VOID?

You are the one who came in here at me and then ducked the ban bet. If you are right about what you say then take the ban bet p*ssy

Until we see those box office numbers and then it will be quite apparent that Snyder doesn't give a shyt about mythical L's on the internet. LOL.

Snyder is a God and that's all there is to it.

Whedon is a hack.

WB fukked up

In my view Man of Steel is still the GOAT action sequences in comic movies

Nobody is fukkin with Snyder

Neg for trying to start stan bullshyt in this thread.

Also, this show actually pays homage to the Snyder movie in various ways you fukking idiot Lindelof isn't against the Snyder movie

That's generous rating right there

Good to have Snyder back in the fold.

#ReleaseTheAyerCut

Ok the opinion of one man, cool. Many people don't feel that way about it.

He said because the U.S. government wanted to gain information from him.

@Jazzy B. Accept the ban bet or continue to waste your weekend on me fakkit

WHY DID HE GO TO THE GOVERNMENT
IN THE FIRST PLACE?

HE DIDN'T NEED THEM
TO DO ANY OF THE NEFARIOUS
shyt HE DID THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE.

HE COULD HAVE JUST KILLED SUPES
FROM THE START
