Popboi. Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Captain Marvel wasn’t ever that popular considering the first movie was bolstered by it being between Infinity War and End Game, men (most of the Marvel audience) hate Cap Marvel, the trailer and plot didn’t capture attention and the panned Secret Invasion finale put the final nail in the coffin. This is not surprising to anyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atp I'm just waiting for the x-men and somewhat the fantastic 4. 28 minutes ago, GraceRandolph said: Okay? Captain Marvel has been in all the posters and trailers regardless. I don’t think a title change would’ve saved this. Superhero fatigue is very real. I think its the fatigue of Marvel trying to make everyone keep up with 30 different shows and characters, not necessarily superhero fatigue itself. If they would've stuck to a core 4 or so again, that people actually liked, it would be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausofdave Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) the current record for lowest grossing sequel to a 1B movie is Alice Through the Looking Glass ($1.01B -> $299M), seems like Marvel will easily break another record ($1.131B -> ??)

Attitude Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Captain Marvel is one of the blandest superheroes ever. Maybe if they had Mystique and Rogue in the film it wouldn’t be flopping! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flash and Shazam both belong to an extended universe that will be completely canned when Aquaman comes out next month. There’s no hardcore fan interest to see it (especially more than once) when the story was crafted to continue a bigger plot… that just won’t continue. On top of Ezra’s mess, that lead to little to no promo outside the standard cinema marketing and over sharing it as the greatest superhero of all time when it wasn’t even the best of month. Shazam was never successful and the first movie made a profit cause the budget was minimal. DC’s big movies in recent history can be counted with one hand, and almost all belong to Batman as a sole character. Theres no fatigue where there’s never been interest (DCEU/DCU).

There is fatigue though. The DCEU was a successful franchise up until Justice League, and people had hope in it before the pandemic.

Archetype Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 When will Marvel realize that people only want to see Avengers movies and movies related to the main characters? All of these side characters are not interesting. If they were, they’d be Avengers. They’re lucky they have Dr. Strange and Wanda to continue on with, or else there would be zero interest in the overarching brand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D_Man3379 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Some of y’all saying this is not shocking….

hausofdave Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 The gap between Barbie (2023) and MCU 2023 domestically is going to be less than $50m , who would've thought Barbie: $636 million vs. GOTG3: $359 million Ant-Man 3 $215 million **The Marvels: ~$48m OW x 2.3 multiplier = $110 million (early estimate) MCU total 2023 DOM: ~$684 million, which will only $48 million more than Barbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuelve88 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 They’re waiting too long to introduce X-Men and giving us characters, shows, and movies that nobody wants. I mean, even after this their focus is Fantastic Four, a group that has always been a flop. It’s what Marvel deserves for being stubborn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanStan Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I have a theory about why a lot of movies flop. If a central character revolves around a Gen Zer it is a HUGE turn off to a majority of people. But because Gen Z is the loudest and most active on social media studios have to continue to include themes that matter to them to not be cancelled. I think it’s been characterized as ‘woke’ incorrectly. The real problem is Gen Z being seen as insufferable, obnoxious, and self obsessed making most people avoid movies like the plague if they are central characters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
