Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

But that’s the approach with Deadpool…

Winter soldier was the best, most “grounded” MCU movie…

If what Buf says is correct…this won’t line up with that.

It’s basically also a writedown at this point based on the box office…so the people are speaking

Which movie are you talking about? As I believe they were talking about Monkey which opened this weekend.

The trailers looked amateurish cgi to me…so that scans

That’s not what I meant. I think many of the effects are practical; they just look (intentionally) silly and farfetched.

I believe he thinks you’re talking about Brave New World, not Monkey.

I don’t think so I think I made it pretty clear in my reply that I was talking about the monkey but then again it is pretty late I wouldn’t blame him for being sleep deprived

…I’m not sure there’s a difference? Because “silly” was a takeaway

Even if you’re talking about the ridiculousness or super heroes

The ones that seem less absurd are the ones that last.

What do my personal favorites have in common?

X2
The Nolans
Superman
Winter soldier

…I’d say you can “suspend disbelief” because it’s the least absurd takes?

Just me

lol…not that one

I assumed it was about Cap Because that’s kinda what we obsess about here…

Total misfire on my part…party of one

I never even heard of this monkey nonsense

Maybe, but it’s not ALL about the money, and to think otherwise doesn’t understand the cinematic side of the industry. It’s a balance, and yeah sometimes the pendulum swings to one side over the other, but both sides are there.

The current state and stewardship leaves little doubt it’s all about the money

ALL

it’s not that I’m supporting that…it’s just the only logical takeaway.

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?

Disagree, if it was ALL about the money they would have done different things to try to maximize earnings. So while there is a monetary motive behind some decisions, it’s not at the core of every decision.

I don’t think you’ve understood what film I’m talking about. I’m discussing The Monkey.
