  • Spider-Man: No Way Home is CRUSHING real box office records, not manufactured ones. Exposing the disaster that has been The M-She-U and woke Hollywood overall. Make a good film, without subverting or desecrating a popular character or characters and filling it full of identity politics and people will show up. However you feel about the film there is no doubt that the Hollywood Box office narrative from the past year was just that. A narrative.

      I don't know how it happened, but it seems like Kevin and most everyone in the MCU *and* the 'creatives' at Marvel Comics don't care. I mean about the work they do or for superheroes. They sure don't care about anybody watching or reading, otherwise they wouldn't be so arrogant to say, "If you don't like our politics..." They think they're so stunning, they can't be fired and replaced for doing bad work that results in no gain whatsoever.
      I'd love to be a fly on the wall when the shareholders for Disney and Marvel have a little talk with people like Kevin and Iger and Kathleen, among others, to at least say: "Maybe, JUST MAYBE, your way hasn't been working for a reason."

My theater was packed when I saw Dredd one weekend and that movie flopped. There are many factors that come into play on whether movies are successful or not. This argument that "wokeness" is a major detriment to a film is absolute nonsense because there are plenty of examples that debunk that notion. Black Panther and Captain Marvel are two films that are thrown around by people like Nerdrotic as being "woke" and yet they were highly successful.

      The Black Widow film was supposed to be made way back around the first Avengers movie, but then Marvel Entertainment head Isaac Perlmutter believed that an MCU film featuring a female lead wouldn't make any money. It wasn't until Kevin Feige was promoted to CCO of Marvel Studios that Black Widow finally got her own film. Perlmutter is notorious for his rather conservative views on women in the industry and was constantly fighting with Feige over the direction of the MCU. Luckily, Feige doesn't have to answer to Perlmutter anymore as Marvel Studios is a separate division from Marvel Entertainment.

    I watched Shang Chi on 2 nights ago and Spider-Man last night. The difference in quality was astounding. Shows exactly how you do a comedy sidekick, how you make a sympathetic relatable lead, how you do CGI well, and how you do a story and characters that people get invested in. I didnt hate Shang Chi (I hated elements of it), and as a fan of Hong Kong kung-fu movies I really liked that part of it and the mysticism reminded me of things like The Peacock King or Zu Warriors. However, as with Black Widow there was just too many things wrong with it for me to adore it in the way I did with No Way Home and most of the first decade of MCU. I think that really sums up the major problem with the MCU, is that they're making mediocre stuff now when they should be making the best of the best when it comes to superheroes.

      Shang chi made huge money after this dude spent months attacking him and the movie. "How dare an Asian get to lead a movie? ". So when it did well, they broke down inside. Spider man white man needed 3 white men and a bunch of other actors to do this well. Even though the franchise has name recognition. Bs takes as usual

    So I don’t pay money to any entertainment corporations directly, Skipping ads on CZcams is as close as I come. I don’t buy movie tickets and have no streaming subscriptions. I am sure glad to get access to entertaining content for the cost of my cell phone bill too! I have amassed thousands of hours of games and shows and books over the years to keep myself entertained when I need a break from CZcams. I recommend it.

    Eternals was so lazy in marketing that they failed to give us any info about what the film was all about and what told me what the film story was about it was a video from Midnight's Edge that gave me the info on the story! At the moment my escapism is not western entertainment it's anime!

    Similarly Suicide Squad didn't work yet any of the Zack Snyder's movie would break every record, if they are released in movie theatres now. Even WB bros now admitted that Zack Snyder's Justice League was huge hit in HBO max. But they didn't release the numbers immediately so that they didn't seem like that their narrative failed.

    While it makes me sad that Sony and Disney will make a ton of money on this, I'm slightly hopeful that maybe, just maybe they realize what makes this film different from the dreck they've been foisting on us for 4 solid years. And I'm hopeful they decide they prefer the money over their twisted ideology.
