The prolonged, painful death of the MCU is so fucking funny
I can't wait for Doomsday to make $600m and Secret Wars to be reshot into a hard reboot along with the announcement that Feige is fired
This is getting so much fucking funnier every time they release a movie

>the only two MCU movies since 2019 that have been undeniable successes liked by "everyone" are two nostalgia fests that use the nostalgia created by other studios that they bought/loaned out like Sony and Fox
how fucking embarrassing

>>213343641 (OP)
it's not even just feige, it's just disney. every fucking movie feels the same because they're creatively strangled by committee. look at how many fucking screenwriters F4 had. feige is obviously the face of that but even if he got fired they'd just find someone else.

>>213343678
I wonder if Doomsday or Secret Wars will be the straw to break the camel's back where people say "This isn't fun anymore."
Deadpool was already insulting fans for still enjoying it

All very well buddy but they're really moving the popcorn with this one.

>>213343710
It's definitely shaping up that way. Doomsday will have no big nostalgia cameos and all the X-Men are nobodies that no one cares about. Secret Wars has the gimmick of putting Jackman/Maguire together but that'll be way too desperate even for normies. I think the jig is well and truly up and the MCU will be dead forever come 2029. At most, I pretend they shift to a standalone movie gimmick, ala DC, out of sheer desperation to get some cred and money back.

>into a hard reboot
They might do a 'reboot' in name only. It needs a reboot into a distinctive new feel, tone, aesthetics, they type of actors they hire, the cinematography, excising cringe humor, etc. I'm a skeptical they could manage it to any degree of adequate satisfaction.

Turns out casting an absolute hag as your main character, a Pedro as her bitch husband and two literal who's as her sidekicks won't make money

the superhero genre really is retarded and I bought into mcu hype at one point

I think American comic books were just good in the seventies and eighties and most of what we love about these characters came from adaptations even though the majority of those adaptations are awful
>>213344119
Superman is a success according to everyone who matters. I know it bombed in China but Feige is pointing to it in investor calls to prove that superhero movies can still make money

>>213344602
Doomsday will make less than Superman. I'm positive of it

>>213344989
Serves them right, Kevin FAG will learn a valuable lesson

>>213344895
Yeah considering literally everyone talented who worked on Marvel characters has been accused of rape they'd need to attract new talent, and I doubt someone like Dennis Villenue or David Fincher would want to participate

It's not funny it's fucking tiring and needs to go. I've had capeshit fatigue since Iron Man 3.

>>213344954
Watch Superman instead. Fantastic Four is just another marvel movie but with Galactus

>>213345303
it's because the non sensationalist take is that while Superman underperformed sky high billy expectations it will still turn a modest profit despite how desperately this board wants it to fail. WB can thank their lucky stars that domestic overperformed so much, and I'm sure they're pushing tons of krypto merch and shit. Also that F4 is currently cratering.

hahahahahaha holy shit

>>213343877
to kill marvel not only do those two movies need to flop, but then Sony has to pull spiderman back out of the MCU and start their own movies with miles morales. if Sony doesn't pull spiderman, the MCU will be reduced to a few disney plus shows and big team up movies every couple of years.

>>213345559

No one is getting fired. They’re plugging along until it all collapses and they’re going to take a lot with them

F4 dropped 60% internationally worse than Superman who was already meh internationally jesus

Let's get rid of those annoying writers. We don't need them.

>>213345678
Superman actually had alright legs internationally, it just had such a low opening it was still an underperformance, but not a total catastrophe ( aside from China that shit was absolutely cursed for both movies ).

>>213345751
if anything the movie had too many writers. look at this shit. compare it to Superman having 1 writer who is also the director.

>>213345794
the entire cast of this movie looks uncanny valley

time to do marvel zombies but with deadpool

>>213345768
F4 had slightly bigger opening overseas but now its already lagging behind

>>213343681
They're creatively strangled by activists, committees actually want to make things people will watch.

>>213345303
>Superman is a success according to everyone who matters.
The absolute cope. Slowly limping towards 600 milli with a huge ass budget is nothing to write home about.
But I'm happy it beat F4, like I predicted it would.

Saw it yesterday. Was pretty good. I liked it better than Superman. It had a distinct visual appeal as opposed to Superman which was just “zoomer” and “Gunn movie” . Definitely needed to be more creative and varied with each of the 4’s powers tho.

wait till you find out how many times it was reshot. past couple of MCU movies were reshoot at least 3 or 4 times. They test screen, reshoot, test screen, reshoot, hit the deadline and release it.

Multiverse of Madness started the witches curse when it was so bad it failed to make a billion after its opening from wandavision and more importantly spider-man hype

Wrong question. The amusement parks generate infinite money. The better question is why aren't shareholders kicking out the CEO since he is not doing his legal financial duty to make the investors the most money. Before 2010 it was common to kick CEOs out when a company hits a small speed bump not they can hemorrhage hundreds of millions and no one cares. Kathleen Kennedy killed Star Wars and no one cares

It was a good run, time to pack it up

Kevin Feige and Tim Pool should start a men's headgear clothing line. They could call it Cue Ball Covers

>>213347441
Tim Pool is a closeted homosexual.

>>213343641 (OP)
Sue looks like a fucking rat.

>>213347496
I believe it

>>213347441
I hate Kevin Feige. Dude goes to an average college gets a film degree gets a job right away as an assistant producer in a Hollywood movie 2 years later he is a producer on X-Men. Just blatant nepotism. He isn't a genius or anything he just said "lets take these superhero movies a little more seriously" which I imagine people before suggested and Iron Man could have easily been a flop with how they shot it with no script. His entire career has been carried on the backs on RDJ and Chris Evans and shocker, the moment they leave his movies bomb. But he is a malicious kike where even though things are bombing left and right he still preaches that we need diversity

>>213347441
He looks like a fat old man without the beanie. This is an extreme example of how losing your hair just thunder fucks your attractiveness

>>213347577
And they'll keep him at least through Secret Wars. Over a billion dollars will be lost because Feige was pulled out of the right Jewish crotch at birth

>>213343641 (OP)
Is this the biggest drop yet?
Seems like only the most terminally pozzed individuals are rushing out to see these movies in the first week.

>>213343641 (OP)
Would be funny if they got Zach Snyder to take over from Feige running the MCU.
The circle would be complete.

Gee I wonder why this movie flopped?

>>213347726
>"You know that scene in Iron Man 1 when Tony Stark flies into a middle east warzone and starts murdering terrorists? We need more of that! Also we need a scene where he hovers over the water giving him a christ like look of walking on water!"

>>213347745
The way this movie handled The Thing is the greatest example I ever seen of someone not caring about a character. He seemed aloof not overly depressed and not overly happy which is usually his tow modes. You want to give him this identity of brooding and loneliness like this scene suggests but when he simply walks in the street you see kids cheering him making him smile and woman coming up to him. No sense at all that he is a freak which is a big part of his character. There is nothing to suggest he is alone but they terribly try to act like that is the case here. Plus he barely does any fighting and hates his catch phrase

>>213347745
I unironically don't think this scene had anything to do with it

Why was it set in the 60s

>>213347947
because that's the only thing that makes it interesting or unique

>>213347947
Because some nepo writer was asked to make it special compared to other movies and said "lets set it in the 80's" and was reminded Captain Marvel was set in the 80's so they went to their next trendy era they mine culture from the 60's. There was no reason at all to set this movie in the 60's resembling the Fallout universe

>>213348008
>because that's the only thing that makes it interesting or unique
There was nothing at all special about this being in the 60's. When you set something in the 60's but your main character has all modern technology but in a 60's skin it's meaningless

>>213347793
KINO!

How do we go from this...

>>213347947
Because that's their origin. Its when they're from. The time they evoke. Once they move into the main universe you'll see how their style clashes with everyone else

>>213348345
>Once they move into the main universe you'll see how their style clashes with everyone else
They didn't even go an entire movie before they stopped with the "Steve Rodgers is a fish out of water" shit. After Cap 1 they went right to Avengers and he was already used to the new time and after that it was never an issue and you completely forgot he was a man from the 1940's.

Nah it never left him. You could see how his old school manner influenced everything he did. How he treated people. How he led. That's what the 4 are going to be. Their going to inject that back into things. Because Marvel movies have become depressing, mopey shit. Time to get back to basics

It was bad but not record breakingly bad. All I know for sure is Superman actually did win the summer in America (the only country that matters) and James Gunn is the new Kevin Feige, which he worked really hard to become and I am proud of him that he did it. DC will get out of the shitty ways of its past and be a generally successful thing it won't be cringe to enjoy anymore.

People who stand here saying "Marvel is Dead Now" are really stupid though. This is like D Tier Marvel this isn't real. These movies weren't even bad its just that nobody cares except nerds.

EVERYONE wants to see RDJ coming back as Dr. Doom and that hype will be incredible.

>>213343877
MCU: "Elseworlds" honestly has a lot of sick potential. In a weird way the new Spiderman kinda feels elseworlds with him versus Punisher.

>>213346111
All it had to do in Win the Summer and it did that. You can't call it a failure based on 2019 paradigms. The entire movie industry is down near 30% from there. ENTIRE. So if Superman grossed 30% less than Man of Steel its normal bro.

>>213345907
It's time for the MCU to call it a day and do a Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe adaptation. It's just him killing everyone. RDJ and Evans come back one last time, one day on set, easy money. Get everyone to come back, even the bit players. Get Terrance Howard back. Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell. He kills everyone. The he comes to our universe and kills the writers, Feige, Favreau, etc.

>>213346712
both movies tanked you tranny

I have said this time and time again some characters in the MCU can be their own stand alone movie but some like the fantastic four function as part of an ensemble cast. Marvel should have made more Thor Ragnarok movies, no I am not talking about the tone or script just that it was a movie with 2 characters who both alone didn't draw as much money as the other characters.

Yeah I've thought for years that the medium sized, non tentpole guys should do team-ups. A Strange/Thor movie where they take on Loki would have been interesting. Magician vs magician. But they'd have to make Loki more than just a guy who can teleport and shapeshift. A fight with Loki is supposed to have you questioning reality.

Best FF movie yet

It's amazing how this one thread like a week ago completely killed the Superman "punk rock" meme.

Almost like it made Gunnjeets realize how cringe and anti punk they were being by supporting a corpo slop kids movie.

This is why censorship can't continue. Because stopping cringe is 4chan's best quality. Allowing cringy Pedro and waifu fag's to continuously astroturf for corporations will kill 4chan traffic.

We are the rebellion. Now everyone post characters that will never be loved by normies

>>213351134
What level of schizophrenia is this?

Honestly what was the fucking strategy behind the post-endgame era
After killing of two of their most popular characters and ending a decade long storyline you probably want to keep the audience as they're going to quickly lose interest after that.
Instead Disney triples down on dei politics and makes movie featuring some fucking nobodies not even comic readers can pretend to care about.
Also why not make a bunch of TV shows, but this time they're actually important for new plotlines, so you have to watch them.

>>213343877
why is Maguire coming back? do you mean Holland?
I get why people like Holland, but the guy truly hasn't had a movie to himself yet and it kills my interest in spiderman
he's always taking a backseat in his own movie for marvel to push other heroes, it's like watching the mandalorian
I enjoyed Maguire, Garfield was so miscast and given the worst scripts possible, and Holland just doesn't do anything
if they actually have the balls to replace him with miles morales in Doomsday... holy fuck I cant even imagine how dead and buried the MCU would be
