The Marvels

[Monkey_Driven]

im guessing this will bomb, specially with their standars yeah. You can already see it with the lack of excitement and even if they are not allowed to do a proper roll out, the marketing has been very quiet at least since the first trailer.

Marketing is dependent upon those actor being out talking about the movie.

nah, the trailer was quietly released with very little talk about it.

Or it could be that two of the main characters in this movie are from Disney Plus shows that fewer people probably watched.

[VinylGuy]

yeah, i both cases the studio doesnt seem thrilled with the movie.

I'm just here for the "the answer is somewhere in the middle" posts

Two groups being wrong at the same time doesn't necessarily mean that the truth is "in the middle" of both of them. That there exist groups of toxic woman-haters ready to downvote anything with a woman in it and that giant corporations like Disney commodify diversity and allyship in pursuit of the bottom line are not opposing ideas. They actually fit very neatly together!

Disney being disingenuous about their allyship is not equal to incels being ingenuous about their hate.

Equal how? I don't know how to measure that. I think they're both pretty bad. I think a corporation manipulating fans into defending their product by weaponizing the language of social justice is pretty repugnant. And the woman-hating dweebs are bad for obvious reasons. But what I was saying is they probably cancel each other out in terms of their effect on the box office, which is what I'm most interested in.

are they manipulating fans? putting out one movie where it is female leads vs close to 30 where it was a male dominated cast? considering the source material the two grown ups took their name from Captain Marvel (danvers asked permission and i think monica's was given to her) and then the youngin called herself that because she was such a carol stan. it is pretty hard to do a captain marvel/marvels/black widow movie without it being female leads.

its not weaponizing anything it is making movies about the times that the world is currently at. women have taken a backseat for so long in the hollywood entertainment scene and marvel is giving them a chance to shine. will it take a while for the world (america) to accept this as the norm? probably so but it has to start somewhere

Peeps is correct

I think it will do just fine, and Marvel will continue with phase five and six of the MCU as planned.

[Jorge]

It's tracking to open lower than Black Adam and The Flash, which is pretty remarkable for a sequel to a billion dollar movie

[VinylGuy]

The last trailer reeks of desperation.
“ ey guys look!! Avengers”

[Anders]

Are you guys going to see it?

[Jorge]

I think so. We'll see. It's a busy month

[wease]

Are you guys going to see it?

Not opening weekend but yes

[tommy]

Are you guys going to see it?

I would normally see Marvel movies with my nephews, but they've completely lost interest.

This weekend I plan on seeing Priscilla and Gremlins.

[Peeps]

Are you guys going to see it?

will carve out some time to see it this weekend

[VinylGuy]

Im going on Saturday but mostly because my girl wants to take her little brother and ask me to go with them

[B]

I'll see it, but I've got a camping trip this weekend, so it'll take some finagling.

[Jorge]

This review reminded me of "Good movie. Tells a story"

[Anders]

Hopefully it tells a good story.

[BurtReynolds]

it has light, color, AND sound? Holy shit.

[tommy]

And rumbling bass. How did they fit all of that into an hour and 45 minutes?

[Farmer John]

Any word yet whether it has a narrative and/or a message?

[Monkey_Driven]

These early reviews have become completely meaningless.
