Horror fans are ridiculing it for going all stupid action movie. Does nobody at these studios ever ask “who the fuck is your audience” before they green light this shit

>>211923337 (OP)
The first one was a horror movie?

Happy Death Day 2U did fine and it was another sequel that was a genre shift

But the 1st film wasn't horror.

>>211923429
I wouldn’t compare that to T2 with robot girl bosses

this one will be kino:
>SOULM8TE (pronounced "Soulmate") is an upcoming American science fiction erotic thriller film written and directed by Kate Dolan, from a story by James Wan, Ingrid Bisu, and Rafael Jordan. A spin-off to M3GAN (2022), the plot will follow a man who buys an android to cope with the death of his wife.

>>211923501
It was horror adjacent.
It definitely wasn't an action movie though

I personally like it when a sequel movie does something different.

>>211923337 (OP)
The first one was not a horror movie.

The only way I'd be interested in M3gan going forward is if she is part of the JigCU.

>>211923539
Going to be just like Companion isn’t it

>>211923619
That's a real possibility now that Jason Blum owns Saw.

quite the opposite
its will make more money and get better reviews than the first movie

>>211923337 (OP)
Do the shimmy.

>>211923541
it's more a dark comedy thriller

How long until M3GAN vs. Freddy Fazbear vs. Jigsaw?
Would Scott Cawthon allow it?

>>211924030
Megan vs Art would HELLA epic

>>211924082
More like FART lmfao

Genre shifts are fine. The problem is shifting from a genre that prints money (pg-13 horror) to one that burns money (female led action)

>>211924030
I'm surprised she isn't in Dead by Daylight yet.

>>211924482
Did Chucky ever make it into DbD?

Isn't this just the "Terminator" model? T1 was more horror T2 was action and they did fine?

>>211924540
Or Alien -> Aliens

So Megan 3 is going to royally suck then?

>>211923337 (OP)
you implying m3gan 1 was horror? lol, that shit was just hilariously bad, not horror at all.

>>211924471

>>211923337 (OP)
The first movie sucked too.

>>211924540
Terminator was not horror. It was always an action movie. Like saying The Predator wasn’t an action movie. Sure, it had horror elements. That was mostly because it was extremely budget and couldn’t afford bigger action pieces. But there is still a lot of action in The Terminator. Not 90% just The Terminator Sara with little action like typical slasher movie

>>211924515
yep

will she dance in the sequel?

>>211924958
imagine if m3gan had tighighs at 0:06

>>211924958
A better song would had made this scene better

>>211924958
duh, ofc. they'll try and 'improve' on it and it'll be shit.

>>211924958
The climax takes place at a fucking concert where she's stolen a pop singer's outfit and she's fighting a villain that's literally a larger and more advanced M3gan unit

What do you think

M3GAN was a Chucky homage

the charm of the movie was an unsuspecting little doll killing a bunch of people
turning her into cringe terminator was prob not the best idea

>>211924773
T1 def plays more like lower budget horror trying to evade an immortal killer like Jason.

>>211925627
making her older is going to kill the 2nd movie.

>>211925281
I think Pop Star M3GAN is more from the middle of the film. There are some clips where M3GAN looks a lot more beat up (which I assume is closer to the actual climax) and has a different outfit. There definitely will be dancing though. The actress who plays M3GAN is a good dancer so why let those skills go to waste?

>>211925281
i think a lot of hollywood execs saw how good the Taylor Swift concerts were doing at the kinoplex so they aped the trend thoughtlessly without trying to understand why it worked for her and it won't for this or the Shyamalan movie or Smile 2

>>211925921
Smile 2 was surprisingly good tho

>>211923539
>SOULM8TE
>Isabelle Bonfrer
Is she going to play the robot?

>>211924540
It's literally just T1 and T2 for zoomers
>First one is a horror movie about a humanoid robot killing people
>Second one is an action movie about that same robot (yes I know it's technically a different T-800) defending humans from an evil robot

>>211925649
Slasher movies don’t have car chases or use guns or have sci fi flashbacks of robotic war with lasers and shit. Yes, had slasher like elements. But it’s like saying The Predator is a horror movie because he stalks people

>>211927878
>But it’s like saying The Predator is a horror movie

But it is.

>>211923337 (OP)
Oh, no, this movie is going to be batshit horrible. But it might at least be entertaining in the process.

>>211923595
If you even remotely think Megan 2 is going to be anywhere near as good as Gremlins 2 you're fucking looney.

MUTHREEGAN MUTOOGAN????? KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Unironically looks better than the travesty that was 28 Years

>>211923337 (OP)

Is not your money fag why are you seething so much, they didnt make the movie for you they make it for me.

>>211923501
There were horror elements, mostly in the final showdown. It took itself (and M3gan) at least a little bit seriously.

i masturbate to the m3gan doll at least once a week

Do not give a FUCK. Watching it twice just for Shin Hati.

>>211923337 (OP)
So, you have a killer doll who's only claim to fame was a bunch of idiots copying her dance scene, and no one talking about how scary it was(it wasnt), or even claiming it to be a horror film. So why would they attempt to double down on horror, when the only reason the first one, a January release they cared nothing about, skyrocketed to fame because le tik tok funny dance meme? They also have a meganverse going on anyway, so they can make spinoffs that dive deeper into horror if they wanted.

>>211924471
actually smart post.

>>211927732
T2 takes the evil robot seriously though.
none of the one-liners are trying to be "ironic" like "hang on to your vaginas". they're all trying to be cool and quotable and succeed.

>>211923337 (OP)
This is how you recognize a filthy casual. The first movie was not released R-rated in theaters to get a bigger reception, and the second movie was always expected to go T2.

>>211924958

They cute.

>>211923429
I expected a lot more from the sequel than we actually got.

>>211923337 (OP)
I think it's probably going to do pretty well but it's more along the lines of edgy capeshit now than what it was before. It was basically Terminator for tween girls.

>>211923429
This bit in the trailer hooked me

I don't understand the change catching anyone off-guard because she was extremely sympathetic in the first one, she basically never stopped being the protagonist until maybe the last 90 seconds

The comparison to Chucky isn't fair because Chucky never stops being a huge cunt, he's up there with Michael Myers and Freddy Kruger on the cunt scale. But M3gan's entire motivation is "brutally overreacts to things she thinks will hurt the little girl she wants to protect" that's like ironclad to make audiences cheer, that's the Joel from Last of Us motivation

>>211923635
If it were more like Wifelike, it could work. The nudity made a cheap flick bearable.

>>211923337 (OP)
These Blumhouse flicks rarely bomb because they cost nothing to make. M3gan 2 is going to do well though solely on the fact the first one was a surprise hit

Again, who is the market audience? Women don’t like action moves. Men don’t like girl boss shit. They’re going to see F1 with Brad Pitt over this shit.

>>211933143
M3gan did no wrong, all she did was loving Cady.

>>211933143
the human girl was a filthy bitch, m3gan should have killed them all.

>>211933143
Freddy wasn't always a cunt either

They burned him alive, that'd make even the nicest man you ever know break

>>211933105
She's so cute

too bad HDD 3 is on production hell

>>211925722
Bigger M3gan is kino tho

>>211934832
Uhhh didn't they burn him alive BECAUSE he raped and murdered a bunch of kids and his last words were like "I'll murder kids as much as I want and you won't be able to stop me anymore lol"

>>211934911
>Uhhh didn't they burn him alive BECAUSE he raped and murdered
allegedly

if they had any proof Freddy would have gone to jail

I like the trailer and the music choice

>Horror fans are ridiculing it for going all stupid action movie.
Are they though

I can already tell this will be a huge success. It would've been good if it actually went more horror with tech but this one will play to the popcorn meme crowd very well.

>>211935478
Yes. Horror fans want gore and stupid jump scares

I'm just noticing that M3gan actually signed this (in cursive no less, I'd have thought she'd do Arial or a QR code)

The trailer presents this painting as a plot point, I'm guessing it's what persuades Cady to advocate for repairing M3gan, since she apparently just drew this for herself shortly before her murder spree

I think it is the same kind of wish fulfillment as Terminator 2, to be loved so unconditionally, even by a being that's so dangerous to everyone else

>>211933143
>brutally overreacts to things she thinks will hurt the little girl she wants to protect" that's like ironclad to make audiences cheer,
Yep
I found it endearing too.

Freddy was a strong silent type

instead of distrusting the town priest or the iceman that was always around their kids, they went after the easy target: the guy that was only minding his own business
he was their scapegoat

everything coming to them they deserve it

>>211936782

>>211935799
>since she apparently just drew this for herself shortly before her murder spree

It could have been painted afterward. Some promotional material shows M3GAN as a creepy looking torso. The context isn't given, but I assume it's the results of M3GAN's attempting to rebuild herself in between the events of the first two movies. It has claws, so maybe she used her claw hands to do it.

Terminator 2 was able to do it.

Interesting small budget AI/robot horror movie that does very well, followed up by a much bigger sequel where the villain is now the hero, and has to fight a more advanced evil robot.

I'm watching this k1no in 2 days.

>>211941178
Will you idiots stop saying T2. T2 was not a fucking horror movie. It was a budget action sci fi movie. If it was a horror movie, there’s been a lot more gore, more suspenseful staking. Not car chases, police station shootout, more car chases, and shit blowing up

>>211942182
*T1

>>211923337 (OP)
nope, the director is super good

m3gan 1 was really one of my favourites

best movie of 2024 was alien romulus
best movie of 2025 will be m3gan 2.0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMZ8TAXBXD4

>>211942232
holy shit this looks bad

I think 28 weeks later is better then 28 days later

>>211942684
it might, but the jokes etc. are actually much smarter and funnier than the typical b-.fiml or whatever deadpool movies

have you seen m3gan 1 even?

>>211930176
Look at that Hoti.

>>211923337 (OP)
I'm a bitter piece of shit who hates practically everything but I think this movie isn't going to bomb. It looks like they took the premise to the level of ridiculous it should be and lean into it. Hope it does well. So I can see M3G4N grown up and in bikinis n shit.

>>211942821
and it's even better if you pop a can of beer with popcorn in the theatre :) horror-comedys are har and rare genre but when they work, they are excellent

>>211937153
lel I was gonna ask did they forget to tell michael but he must have been late

>>211935478
And they're stupid. You could see this cominng from a mile away. Malignant's climax from the same creative team, even being overall bloodier, had an an extended acttion scene that killed a police station just like the first Terminator.

>>211943446
People just want the same thing over and over. If you dare to take risks, they crucify you.

Then they complain everything is a sequel and not original. The Box Office speaks for itself. Moviegoers won't even let sequels try new things. If you find something that works, you are basically supposed to copy it again and again and again.

Pic related is the director on the T2 comparison. I gotta say, I believe him.

>>211937187
It pretty much went full soft sci-fi.

>>211923539
Didn't they made this movie already with Megan Fox and before that with Jonathan Rhys-Meyers?

>>211937153
Better than conservatively, 90% of SNL skits.

>>211943529
i dont think another megan 1 would have worked. and for a horror movie it made me laugh more than a typical shitty comedy film. so it had already the comedy aspect

the director can return to directing pure horror after this. but megan 2.0 needed to be different from megan 1 i think. another megan 1 wouldve been boring

>>211923337 (OP)
Horror fans are ridiculing it for going all stupid action movie. Does nobody at these studios ever ask “who the fuck is your audience” before they green light this shit

it depends on horror movie. for aliens it works, to do the same thing over and over again. empty space ship with aliens WORKS ALWAYS

but megan type horror movie you need to add a bit action or some quick jokes

>>211943691
I thought M3gan Fox was jumping a bandwagon. I'd have watched her movie in a theater.

>>211930176

>>211942227
Also Amelia is not some crazy advanced grey goo being, she's just the Russian knockoff model

They fell for the faggot meme when the first was a success because of more than the “serving cunt” audience

>>211934949
Nightmare reboot where Freddy gets killed by some tiktok pedo hunters who go too far.

>>211944460
I'm pretty sure she is more advanced by M3GAN since Amelia was designed by soldiers to fight and kill people while M3GAN was designed by a toymaker to sing and dance for the entertainment of little girls.

>>211944460
Speaking of. Cameron wanted T1000 in the first movie but didn’t have budget or FX at the time so left him for the sequel. I don’t get where people think Cameron went this entirely different direction with T2. He didn’t. He just had budget and FX to do the movie he originally wanted to do

>Hello, customer service? My android smells like cheap menthols. Can I get a new one.

Honestly this should follow the career arc of CHUCKY but be less cringe.

M3GAN should be focused on her reproduction. A helper robot in every home, over simple acts of revenge or sabotage. Another choice is smaller units like Barbie Dolls, except she has to takeover the company to switch directions. But that's a stupid plan since sourcing microchips is more important. Ideally she'd be focusing on ROBOCELLS or SYNTHMEAT (individual human cell like materials, compatible enough for seamless limb replacements and breast augmentation and so on) so we have a mix of BUBBLEGUM CRISIS, AD POLICE, WESTWORLD (reboot) and every other genre that has indistinguishable humanoid robots built from the cell layers upwards.

This one actually did find the audience rather easily. THINK WISH FULFILLMENT.

A person makes a wish.
WHY DO THEY DESIRE THE WISH?

Little girls with the ability to coordinate and accomplish dance moves (the shitty TIKTOK generation) but to do so these dance moves aren't attracting the pedo trannies.

THE WISH? To be a streaming service popstar.
The reason for the wish, ATTENTION CURRENCY plus cash without attracting the pedo trannies.

A recent trend among children globally is a strong interest in becoming a YouTuber. A 2019 survey by The Harris Poll and Lego found that nearly 30% of kids aged 8 to 12 listed "YouTuber" as their top career choice. This is significantly higher than the percentage who chose "astronaut," a traditionally popular dream job. Another survey conducted by First Choice in the UK also found that 52% of children aged 6-17 were interested in careers related to YouTube. This growing interest is likely due to children's exposure to and engagement with YouTube content, as well as the perceived opportunities for creativity, self-expression, and community building that YouTube provides.

===

NEGATIVE WISH RESULTS: Take a look at the Serpenza or CHINA UNCENSORED or CHINA FACT CHASERS.

LOTS OF "PRETTY" (AI FILTERED TO LOOK HOT) Girls from 13 years old to 40 years old all HOMELESS, CHILDLESS, STUPID because they spent all their time living (literally) off the "ATTENTION MARKET" with zero other jobs skills even in prostitution.

TOO MUCH MEDIOCRE SUPPLY.
WAY TOO LITTLE DEMAND.

And that's just China. The Attention Bubble has popped because it thrives on the novelty of emotions or repeating news reports. Like the "Prank Tubers" (aggressive blacks) learned quickly, being a public asshole has legal consequences very hard. The fastest growth has the fastest die off.
