I liked Ragnarok but IMO Love and Thunder was really bad. Waititi didn't even want to make the movie from what I have heard. He was kind of talked into doing it. It's shame because he did such a good job IMO with Ragnarok.

Bob Iger has it right. It's not a matter of superhero fatigue, recent movies just haven't been up to the standards established in the past. At least he's being honest about it. Personally, I have high hopes for Deadpool 3, Fantastic Four and Captain America 4.

Bolded the important part. It's not that recent movies haven't been up to the standards of the past. They very much have been. They just haven't been up to the standards that Infinity War and Endgame set, which is very unfair, but the audience now have unrealistic expectations.

They forget about Iron Man 2, Thor 2 and the rest.
 
Cineplex in Canada is now giving 1000 points ($10) to go see it in theaters. That's the price of a ticket in some smaller markets.

Oddly enough, I just saw a report issued on March 1st that says the average ticket price for a matinee in the US in 2023 was $11.23.

And don't even get me started on the continued silliness and corniness that seem to be ever increasing in them. Once She Hulk walked out of the Disney screen....I was like....Ok the MCU has officially jumped that shark.

Yes yes I know she hulk walked off the page in the comics. But I was hoping the movies would stay in a more serious tone which Iron Man/Hulk set. But sadly that is not the case. Now we have a stupid K.E.V.I.N robot "god", A dumpling god and soon TWO characters that talk to the audience KNOWINGLY and not just as a form of narration like House of Cards. But KNOWINGLY and in She Hulk's case she actually changed the course of events....smh..
So silly. Daredevil just drops out of the sky confused why he's even there...

I get that some people like this sort of thing and that's cool. But I don't know how long non comic readers are going to stand for it.

Oversaturation/constant crossovers and bad writing is what ruined the comics industry back in the 1990's and sadly the film and series are taking the exact same trajectory....

Sorry for the long rant....lol

I absolutely love this kind of stuff, after spending taking themselves overly serious for way to long, I love that they're finally embracing the sillier side of the comics.
 
Just checking in...

As of March 6, 2024, Madame Web has grossed $41.3 million in the United States and Canada, and $50.6 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $91.9 million.

Zosia Mamet as gal reporter Sally Floyd, taking shots in the bar with no mname, getting back ground stories from super villains, when Scourge shows up, followed by the Punisher.
 
If more actors were candid about this crap movies would probably improve.

With exceptions so rare as to be meaningless for business purposes, people don't go to a movie because of the directors or producers or writers. They go to see actors. Writers will never have clout.
 
Do they still go to see actors though anymore? Or do they go because of the IP these days? For example did people go to see Iron Man to see Robert Downey Jr or to see Iron Man? I think actors do elevate some lower level movies that wouldn't get attention if people didn't know any of the actors in it but the system seems different from how it used to be in the 90's.

Yeah I can see how some would like it. That's cool. I just have a hard time watching something like say the Punisher or Daredevil shows and then see something cartoonie like She Hulk and Deadpool....and it's hard for me to reconcile they are in the same universe....lol....

Because the same universe can't have both serious and silly?

Didn't say it could not. I just don't care for it. I think the more cartoonie stuff doesn't belong in the films. I was hoping they would avoid that stuff. But alas they are embracing it. I don't mind light comedy but all out cartoon silliness I'm not really into.
As I said earlier (and it's just an opinion) I don't think general audiences (those who never cared for or read the comics) are gonna find the more slapstick cartoon humor as appetizing.

Haven't the Deadpool movies been big hits?

Sony execs forgave Sidney Sweeney for her SNL joke, but are reportedly very upset at Dakota Johnson for not standing by their piece of trash, indeed even blaming her for the movie's failure.

They're probably also happy that Sweeney has brought in over $200M vs $25M budget with Anyone But You. I want to know who is so in bed with these guys that they know that they not only are mad at Johnson but have forgiven Sweeney. Methinks might be some projection happening.

No one. It's a fucking clickbait site.

This kind of thing annoys me:

But it seems like Dakota Johnson, the lead star for the recently released Madame Web...
