Death of the Modern Blockbuster
If there's one lesson from the 2023 Box Office, it's that the 'Modern' Blockbuster formulas doesn't work. If the Old Kings are dead, that begs the question: Who's the new King? what is the new dominant trend taking over? And most importantly, what are the new Rules for our Billion Dollar Blockbusters?

Fixing the MCU's Biggest Problem

Jurassic World Dominion is bad, as in 'bad for a Jurassic Park Sequel', which is a pretty low bar.

    @Eduardo-gu4id Před 13 hodinami

    Phase 4 should have been the way it was but with something gluing them all together. Like maybe some shadowy mastermind who doesn't have any superpowers or isn't as powerful, opting for manipulation and having spiderman be the main thing that will eventually create a new avengers

  • @TheMilkMannnn
    @TheMilkMannnn Před dnem

    I think a phase of EXCLUSIVELY smaller separate stories of old characters just doing their thing with new characters getting introduced would've worked. It would've been a nice tonal reprieve from the "'big huge universe threat" energy that I think we as an audience could've used after the infinity saga, and it would've felt they way one feels just perusing random low stakes comic issues. On the flip side, I ALSO think picking right back up with a multiversal threat of an even LARGER scale and narrative weight than the infinity saga, where endgame was just the start of a larger domino chain, ALSO would've been a fun and interesting way of maintaining the hype train. But the last two phases feel like they've been trying to do both at the same time, when they really should've picked one or the other 😕

    Endgame sucked. Sorry. I don’t understand how people liked it. You don’t kill the villain in the first 10 minutes. You don’t do a girl boss scene. You don’t have a key character tell the villain “you’ll pay for what you did.” and the follow that up with “Lady I don’t even know who you are.” It’s a clinic in shitty filmmaking.

  • @in4mus85
    @in4mus85 Před dnem

    Honestly I feel like they needed to go straight into a new super villain arc. Considering that marvel had just recouped the xmen rights, someone like Apocalypse wouldn't be the worst choice. Especially considering how Sony butchered him.

    _"For Jake, [...] the destruction of Home Tree was merely a blip."_ What? It was the turning point of everything he believed in, the moment when he realized that his own people were actually the bad guys. It made him join the resistance and betray his entire species. It made him willing to risk the death of his avatar and his entire future as a human in order to save a planet from the destructive greed of the corporate system he worked for. How is that a "blip"...? Sorry but you really seem to have missed the entire point of Avatar. Also, I've rewatched this film many times on a small screen and it's just as great now as the first time I saw it.

    Bruh, the cope at the end is crazyyyy. No way home wasnt a success because it was good. It wasnt bad, but the reason it was a smash is because it combined all 3 spider-men franchises. And you dont need to pretend man. The bus fight wasnt bad, but it's nowhere near some of the other fightscenes in the franchise. The fight between Iron Man, Cap and the Einter soldier is porbably the best, but you could also make an argument for Thor + Iron Man + Cap vs Thanos. I mean, come on. The stakes are basicly non-existent in the bus fight compared to some others. And a fight scene isnt just coreography.

  • @gergelyritter4412
    @gergelyritter4412 Před 11 dny

    This whole issue isnt helped by the fact, that existing characters are being literally character assassinated in front of our eyes. Nick Fury as an example was an incredible man in early Marvel, but has become laughingstock now. Dr. Strange makes incredibly stupid mistakes, for no other reason than plot. Wanda, although dead, was a walking plothole when she was alive. Also, the Marvel earth is starting to become extremely overcrowded by secret organisations. There are so many and they are so strong, that it is surprising that any governenment is still in power. Jokes arent hitting the same either. Actors and actresses arent doing fantastic jobs either (Captain Marvel, cough, cough). All in all, the quality of the movies has deteriorated and they lack direction.
