Eternals

Agreed. I like the Drinker too.

Agree with OP that Dark Phoenix was a disappointment and I saw it on the big screen. Just too much CGI. I think these movies should embrace what they are like Kong v Godzilla did. Big fluff epics and that’s fine. I’m the opposite of previous comment in that I think Angelina Jolie is cringe no matter what she’s in at this point for being so self-absorbed. Seems like the east has really taken over Hollywood. I don’t really care if the movies are good. To be honest, I think I’d rather watch Cirque du Soleil because it looks almost exactly the same but with better athletes.

i get sad when people talk trash about Nolan’s batman movies… i love them all :(

I am going to make a prediction right now. This movie will not flop. There are way too many absolutely mind numbed robots out their who will eat this up and beg for more.

Here’s the thing.

1) You are correct that there are likely enough normies and brain dead morons out there who just see MCU and march to go see the movie which will make it look like an initial success. Buuuuuuut, there will probably be steep drop off the following week. This thing will have no legs, and because we live in a different post COVID world, Disney can’t repeat what they did with Captain Marvel to alter the numbers.

2) You may be somewhat wrong, because think about the concept of habits.

For years when things were normal, it was habit to not only go to the movies, but to go to a MCU movie. I myself, prior and up to Endgame, said often that the only new releases that would get me into a theater were MCU movies, otherwise I didn’t waste my money on the continued crap splattering on a screen.

But Endgame has come and gone.

COVID changed the landscape…and changed habits.

It has been….2 years? since we had a MCU movie. We’re not going to talk about the TV garbage. That was TV. We’re talking movies here.

Then it’s been over a year since people habitually went to the movies en masse normally.

Both these habits have been broken. Normally the human brain, as I’ve had it explained to me, breaks a habit after 90 days when that repetitive action ceases. It’s been more than 90 days, obviously. The masses are no longer in the habit of going to a new MCU movie, let alone going to the movies in theaters.

Ignore the diehard MCU fanboys/fangirls on the interwebs who are spurgging out how excited they are for anything MCU…many of them don’t wanna give up the ghost, don’t wanna let go of the glory, imo. Then you add in the SJWs who have become intermixed into it all because of the virtue signaling and agenda that has now taken hold in the MCU, and that makes another half of the spurgging that needs to be ignored, because SJWs don’t spend money.

Take all these factors into account, and Black Widow, Shang-Chi, and Eternals all have the potential to flop, or at the very least break their legs after first weeks.

That’s my simple take on that…..dang….I should turn that into a video….

@Shrap

At one time I would have agreed with you, but things have changed, the election and coof along with all the time to sit at home and realize how how fucked up and bad hollywood is. Oscars really proved that. Cena situation i heard about it from people who I never would expected to.

The days of Make crap product, you consume product mindlessly, make more product I THINK, I hope are over. This has horrible written all over it and I am seeing even the consume-everything sheep waking up. But we will see if they broke the habit.

Makes me sick. God I want off this rock.

You’ve might’ve had one black pill too many. Or maybe I’m too optimistic despite me having a habit of trashing almost everything that isn’t Japan related.

People may be stupid but Eternals is looking like the Inhumans right now and the latter was mocked to high hell before it flopped hard.
