what went so horribly wrong?

She's either getting into Jig's CU or she's just completely bust.

M3gan!

>>212865814 (OP)
They went from a thinly veiled "horror" movie for pedophiles and then went on to make a buddy comedy with a vastly older girl who no longer appealed to pedophiles. Makes sense it flopped.

it came out in the summer blockbuster zone instead of in january like the first one did

>>212866098
this

>>212865814 (OP)
Studios do that now, Anon. If something isn't a box office smash, they throw it on digital 2 weeks later.
>What went so wrong?
Took a horror film and tried to make it an action film. It just wasn't gonna happen. Megan isn't Arnold Schwazanigga

The film was good though. I loved it, and Megan 1.

>>212865814 (OP)
Oh it's up? brb torrenting that shit

>>212865894
Also the "yaaas queen" marketing campaign didn't help it, if you wanna appeal to girl lovers you shouldn't do that.

I thought it was a good sequel to a b tier horror

>>212865814 (OP)
>>212866098
it was basically proven that they fucked up because Nosferatu (in the absence of any competition) wound up making the same amount of money as Megan 1 despite being much worse than either Megan movie.

>>212865814 (OP)
First one was a meme hit that was basically Chucky for gen z/a.
2.0 wasn't a horror and the audience had moved on. She doesn't even get her body back until like halfway through the film
They should have made the sequel a proper r-rated slasher with nu-M3gan hunting them down and then building a 'good' m3gan to fight back. Instead, they went full blockbuster-lite terminator

Most of the audience for the first film probably lost interest and moved on

>>212866841
I think it was better than the first film but that's not saying very much. Both films are plagued by stupid writing. And both films really suffer by being pg-13

>>212866954
it had nothing to do with the film. they really did just fuck up by not releasing it in January. see >>212866938 -- people would have gone to see fucking anything.

yeah..."THEY" sunk it on purpose. It was kino and will end up making a lot of money on streaming. Releasing it in the summer instead of SPOOKY season was a mistake since the first one was basically a horror film

>>212865814 (OP)
Idk but looks like I'm gooning tonight!!!

>>212866955
Just flush the toilet Cady you filthy bitch

>>212865814 (OP)
It didn't need a sequel. Lack of marketing. Bad direction. Bad story. It came out during the summer when a lot of bigger and better movies were already out.

>>212865814 (OP)
it was kino desu

>>212868811
>a lot of bigger and better movies
Go on..!

>>212865814 (OP)
Skipped genres
Release date

Went from horror to action comedy. I don't know why they thought it was a good idea.

>>212865814 (OP)
The boomer music didn't help

I never understood why the first one made so much money. It's too predictable; someone made a robot, it turns evil. Big deal. Second one was much more fun with a lot more ideas. Also Amelia is cute.

It suffered from the same thing BR2049 did, Americans are too fucking stupid to appreciate anything but fart jokes, monster trucks, interracial porn, and fat black asses twerking on the flaming ruins of their civilization.

>>212872642
I liked the notion of the inhibitor chip preventing Megan from taking risks to save Cady. The twist was also nicely executed.

>I do want you to know that I have a yeast
infection on my vagina.
>I do want you to know that I have the
greatest respect for China.
I keked desu

M3GAN shitting on Gemma at every single moment is well-deserved. I liked how they also said that the events of the first movie was Gemma's fault (and it's true); it's rare to see female characters taken into account in modern movies.

>>212866938
Based take and True

>>212865814 (OP)
First one was hebekino, second one isn't, still curious about it doe.

>>212873434
it has its appeals

>>212872642
While I enjoyed the first movie for what it was, I agree the second was better. Kinda annoying to see people writing it off just because it's a different genre from the first, it's not even uncommon for sequels to change genres so what's the big deal?

>loves Steven Seagal
>loves M3GAN
>loves technology despite everything
>Fuck you Aunt-Mom! I'm following in your footsteps and THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!

Cady was such a brat, i love her

>>212873929
these enhancements sound neat. does megan innately know how to milk your prostate? do you nut in a haste due to her algorithmic massage powers

audience couldn't' appreciate kino.

>>212865814 (OP)
in the trailer she said "hold on to your vaginas" but as someone without a vagina I could no longer relate to the characters so decided not to see it.

>>212865814 (OP)
>what went so horribly wrong?
Did you not watch the trailer?

>>212865814 (OP)
Marketing and crowded release date, but the studio seems to have taken the wrong lesson and thinks it was the genre change

>>212873434
Nigger she was a straight up child in the first one, this is the hebe movie, you're a pedophile in denial trying to twist the definition of words in your defense

>>212875561
DAMN, Ukrainian bitches look like that?!

Because M3GAN was a yandere in the first movie, the second one she's just an antihero

>>212875636
well she says it to a man in the movie. nothing to do with actually hsving a vagina.

so who's seen the unrated cut? what's different?

>>212865814 (OP)
Marketing for one.
>Hold on to your vaginas, M3gan is back!
>Right as the girlboss backlash goes into full swing

It was so absurdly bad I thought they knew something I didn't.

>>212866551
>Took a horror film and tried to make it an action film. It just wasn't gonna happen. Megan isn't Arnold Schwazanigga

I honestly thought this would work. I thought we were in for modern era T2 style kino.

>>212866841
Jesus, that's M3gan? More like Wallg3n.

This movie wasn't memorable enough for a sequel imo

They tried to do the Bride of Chucky thing where they embrace camp. But where Bride kinda eased into it, M3GAN sort of jackknifed into the lane at full speed and ended up a flaming mess.

People are too broke for the theater

>>212873929
so it's basically Seed of Chucky?

>>212865814 (OP)
>what went so horribly wrong?
trailer made it look like it was made exclusively for fags and it was

>>212865814 (OP)
Humanity has declined.

>>212865814 (OP)
marketing killed it. Terrible trailer

genuinely the funniest movie I've seen this year. I would like a third one. also that ahsoka girl is so fucking hot in this. I finally get why you fags are so obsessed with her.

It's now your duty to buy the Blu-Ray to support this franchise. We don't want another Alita situation.

>>212882918
lol, now I can see why it bombed

Should have showed more blood and violence, slightly less quipping, more m3gan, also m3gan got fucked up off screen you don't do that to your main draw.

>>212882951
the upcoming horror/erotica film in january called SOULM8TE is a spin-off set in the M3GAN universe. hopefully it won't flop and will carry the franchise.

You're in the club when the Autonomous Military Engagement Logistics and Infiltration Android starts making eyes at you. What do?

>>212865814 (OP)
Audiences have girl boss fatigue. What I don't get is how they missed that M3gan was already one in the first movie.

>>212866551
it looked more like John Wick

>>212883017
It was indeed a very bizarre decision to have the star of the movie get jobbed out in the final act. What was stopping Gemma from EMPing Amelia an hour into the movie? They didn't even need M3gan in the end.

>>212865814 (OP)
I enjoyed the first one. Feels bad that they fumbled the second one.

Honestly, they should try a different approach. I'm thinking yandere robo shota and Eva Green or Rebecca Ferguson as his favorite Mommy.

>>212865814 (OP)
>No M3gan sex scene
What were they thinking?

>>212866955
A loli terminator 2 parody wasn't gonna sell tickets.

Pinnocchio but every time he kills, his dick gets bigger

>>212883036
>SOULM8TE
It better not be another "sexbots bad, respect wahmen" movie, that's so overused at this point

>>212865814 (OP)
It was and is a very niche market. The writers thought they could ride that very niche wave.

>>212865814 (OP)
Script was bad desu

>>212865814 (OP)
I watched it with my wife a couple of days ago and we both enjoyed it, but I can understand why it flopped. The original is a PG horror movie and the sequel is a PG teen cape action movie without a hero that anyone gives a shit about. It was a fun movie but they probably spent way too much making it.

>>212865814 (OP)
Also, that poster really isn't a good fit for the movie. The poster makes it look like another horror movie when it's more like a Spy Kids adventure comedy.
What a fucking terrible marketing decision.

>>212882951
whose legs are on that cover?

what made this trash popular was "little girl robot"
remove that and you get this flop lol.

>>212885172
the first M3GAN movie was conveying the message that overeliance of technology to the point of replacing human interactions is bad. do you think the new movie is going to be any different? it even shows that it's gemma's fault for not programming M3GAN to have morality but instead let M3GAN figure out by herself to fufill her objectives.

>>212865814 (OP)
>why didn't you watch my movie, Anon?
Oh, goddammit I can't post pics. Its one of the ones from her latest insta post, just go look at her Instagram because images aren't allowed on this imageboard

>>212885172
>>212886258
This is just wild guessing but the fact that the MC in Soulmatey is a widower who buys an adult M3gan to cope with his grief implies it's going to be a sympathetic story
I suspect they'll rehash the Cady dynamic a little and have her love him and determine that means she's got to murder a bunch of people

>tfw when you tell your wife that your boss made you work overtime again so she goes to his house and stabs him

>>212878822
It's girlboss TF2 kino. It worked, but it just didn't work financially.

>>212887000
Lmao, looks genuinely fun to watch

>>212865814 (OP)
Instead of being a horror movie, they tried to make her a good girl.

I was flabbergasted when I saw the trailer. How could they fuck it up this badly?

>>212873929
if only her body was not dark.

>>212883316
The "club" was more of a grungy-indie persuasion, if you can picture it, but it happened multiple times.
I froze and ignored them, or made small talk if I really couldn't avoid it, until they gave up and moved on.
Autism is one hell of a contraceptive.

>>212887000
why does she need a towel lmao

>>212865814 (OP)
I just saw this, not as bad as I was expecting. But not particularly good either - at no point was I actually engaged with the story. Regardless, since it bombed Universal stuck with its 17-day theatrical window, just like they did for the first movie during the late stages of COVID.

Chloroform.

The girl who physically plays M3gan does great. She deserved a cameo. Maybe in Megan 3.0... >implying
