After terrible box office for her latest movie (M3gan 2.0), how would you save M3gan? Is it even possible to elevate her without including her in a CU with other horror icons?
>>212264142 (OP) Just have her torture / kill pedos who order her as a sex doll and maybe she saves a plucky kid who ends up becoming her sidekick or something along the way. That way she stays scary without also losing the ability to act as comic relief too.
They definitely need to pivot. They are already making movies in the M3gan CU, but those movies are going to bomb unless they can get another big horror character in there to make it his own CU that M3gan is a part of instead. It seems like their AI Concept CU needs some grounding in the gritty and visceral if they want it to appeal to audiences.
>>212264397 SOULM8TE will just be what everyone though Companion would be, and it could potentially do better because it won't be a fag romance movie you got tricked into watching because they promised you a movie about a 20-something girl sex android.
>>212264447 No. An adult man would just have to be slightly creepy toward Cady, even unintentionally, and M3GAN would immediately begin plotting a perfect murder to enact that night.
>>212264142 (OP) rush out a new trailer that leans more into the early cyberpunk vibes hope like hell word of mouth saves me >>212264200 >(all four of the female leads) You're not Gemmas type

>>212266170 Yes, but it would be about an older teenage Cady and an older teenage M3GAN engaging in a lesbian romance, so it could be just insane enough to work.
>>212268285 well her parents just got exploded into hamburger meat by an 18-wheeler right in front of her and then she got a toy that probably fed her brain the same way a drug would She was also homeschooled prior to losing her parents I was sort of impressed with the first movie when they reference Cady doesn't flush the toilet after using it, because that is one of the most common problems with kids who've suffered a major trauma
>>212264142 (OP) "Em-three-gan" is such a tongue twister to say. They should've just called it Megan and been done with it.

>>212264142 (OP) Another movie would be a bad idea even if this had succeeded. There's no need to spoil a happy ending.

I'd use a little kid again. This movie isn't scary. The sole demographic is pedophiles and closet pedophiles. So if you want that market you can't use anyone that has actual womanly features like hips and all that anymore. Use someone younger.
If he saves her franchise it would be one of the biggest bailouts since TARP.

>>212264142 (OP) Biggest problem with the original is 'muh whammen scientist' who supposedly created her. I can suspend my disbelief when it comes to a psycho AI robot, but I have my limits when it comes to a cunt who can't act pretending she knows anything about that shit.

>>212264142 (OP) I donโt think there is anyway to salvage it. One trick pony movie. M3gan isnโt a strong enough character to be a horror icon like Freddy or Jason.
It's C Concept or bust for a lot of these Blumhouse properties.

not enough cady + megan in it, M3gan 2.0 should be actually part 3 of the trilogy

>>212274566 She was really good, especially the first few scenes where she felt right out of a horror movie. The wasted potential is a bit frustrating.

>>212274117 Terminator already tackled that decades ago and people are burnt out of The Terminator and evil robot movies.
