Another issue with this one's trailers was that it didn't feel interesting plot wise? It looked like another Dark World, with another random alien wanting to use infinity stones to take over the universe. That was technically also the plot of GOTG1, but that movie looked intriguing in the trailers because of the cool alien worlds and new species.
I wanted to watch Ms Marvel because of the cultural and family aspects. I wanted to watch Captain Marvel because of the 90s aesthetic and backstory of the shield agents (Coulson!).
I'm planning to eventually watch this one, but only to stay caught up with some characters I like. The trailer was very generic
I'm sorry, but where has everyone been? I have seen countless ads for this movie for the past 2 months at least. Every. Single. YouTube ad has had one of the 2 ads be for this movie. Maybe that's the only place they've been promoting it?
For me, nothing on youtube and nothing in the streets. Only time I saw a billboard for the movie was on a trip to a different country, so perhaps it depends on where you live.
I use Ublock so I didn't see any on YouTube, though it's possible they focused there. I didn't see a single billboard/bus ad/bus stop ad anywhere about this movie.
It was also the highest grossing movie of the weekend.
People don't trust the MCU to make a good movie.
Conservatives are review-bombing the movie for being too "not bigoted" "woke."
The weather was nice in the northeast and people had options for fall activities.
The market is saturated with Marvel content, and even superfans have gotten bored.
Marketing for the movie was limited due to the strikes.
Maybe it's a good movie, maybe it sucks. But you can't really tell anything based on opening weekend. Week 2 will be a better indicator of how good it is.
I'm a marvel fan, but post end game I'm more selective and don't watch all of it. This movie seems to require you to have seen the two shows (one geared towards teens) on top of the previous movie. So I can see why many people skipped it.
I think Marvel needs to go back to individual movies for the heroes without too much or any crossover until an Avengers or team movie
I haven't seen it, but from the characters, it seems like you'll need to watch Ms. Marvel and WandaVision. Both are decent shows if you are a Marvel fan. WandaVision is a trip, even if you aren't a Marvel fan.
Marvel fan here. Wife is sick and we ended up finally watching the last two episodes of Loki this weekend. It would have been better to give at least a week between the two.
I don't think I'd go see The Marvels either way but I watched the end of Loki this weekend too, that's a pretty good argument that there is still room for Marvel content in the world if it's good enough.
It’s too bad that the poor performances is for the women leading installment, but good god how can anyone sit through another fuckin marvel movie.
My hot take: I haven’t legitimately cared about a superhero movie since Ironman 2. I can’t deal with the same dumbass “quips” and overdone stories. Every trailer looks the same.
I think we’re back to the age where you have to care about the comics to see these movies. And I never cared about comics.
I think the first GOTG was the last one I really cared about. I forced myself to watch I finish Wars and Rise of Ultron so that I would understand the memes.
Yeah, I haven't even checked out Gen V or Batman because I got tired of huge quantity of them that have felt like got churned out since they also started doing TV shows for them, and tying it in with the movies.
At that point I decided they weren't good enough to keep up with hours of content. It was less of a chore when it was 1 or 2 movies to keep up. Same for star wars.
Although, the Moving kdrama actually was something I reluctantly watched after constantly being recommended to see it, and that I did enjoy. But, probably because all the power stuff could have been completely stripped away and still been a good show, so wasn't relying soley on the existence of powers to be interesting but more set dressing.
Is it actually bad or just woman-haters boycotting women leading roles.
Personally I just dislike captain marvel as a character since she’s just too powerful, kinda like Superman. It’s just boring. Watched the ms marvel show and it was ok
I also really liked it. It wasn't the best Marvel has put out but it was a very fun film and Iman Vellani is such a joy to watch do basically anything.
Mock all you want, there are plenty of incels and conservatives out there that don’t want to see women succeed at anything other than domestic motherhood. And the venn diagram of those groups and comic book fans has a lot of overlap
Peak was the far superior Infinity war, but endgame closed the chapter for marvel for sure. Nearly everything after has been confused, disorganized and generally mediocre. ironically, tracking much like the comic books they came from.
