This decade SUCKS. And with more delays and continued pause on productions, we’re gonna go through hell and back with movies. 2010s>2020ss

If you're speaking about just movies, sure it sucks in terms of where production was pre-2020. However as I said the decade is still not half over yet. The rest of the decade post-strike could end up being a good time for movies, we just don't know. Also I've seen some pretty good movies during the 2020s, so I just don't agree the decade as a whole suck in terms of movies.

As I said be patient and see what happens. Or just be miserable and say everything sucks. Choice is yours.

Wish needs to be a huge blockbuster hit. After the box office disaster of this summer, with Haunted Mansion now looking to continue that trend and lose at least $100 Million at the box office, nothing less than a certified box office hit for Wish will work.

I'm not saying that Wish needs to be a Frozen type of Billion Dollar Mega-Hit, but it needs to at least do as well as Moana at the box office.

But if Wish actually fails to make money at the global box office, becoming the sixth lavishly budgeted Disney movie in a row to flop?

Yikes.

Wish being a flop? Fiddlesticks and nonsense! That is, I hope it’s a box office success.

I'm not a Marvel fan so I haven't kept up. Is The Marvels not expected to do well? Is it getting bad reviews in test screens or something else?

Captain Marvel did well but Brie Larson is extremely unlikable and it's unclear how much of the film's success was earned versus the fact that Marvel was still in its "gotta watch everything" phase.

Ms. Marvel did poorly on streaming because it got lumped in with the She-Hulk hate that, IMO, She-Hulk deserved but Ms. Marvel didn't. It was actually excellent and I'm sad it didn't get more traction.

It was also sandwiched in between Infinity War & Endgame and Feige and the powers that be swore Captain Marvel would be so important for Endgame.

I could not sing enough praises for Ms. Marvel, it was fantastic. I hope it gains a bigger audience when it debuts on ABC this fall.

The Marvels may have won some goodwill with the success of Guardians. Time will tell.

Wish is the biggest opportunity Disney has to get back to its roots to show people what they were known for from the start. This movie is prime for what Disney has made a name for all these years. They have a chance to tap into the Frozen, Moana, Tangled, and even Encanto frenzy. If they can recapture that spirit and good will and allow people to bypass their Disney hatred for a moment, then they could be back on track and hopefully, for them, repeat that good will with Inside Out 2. Nothing wrong with a studio hitting some tail spins and hiccups like Disney has for the past couple of years since the pandemic. The idea is to bounce back.

I think Wish will be the "bounce back" for WDAS. I will be keeping my fingers crossed.

Well technically animation has done very well during the pandemic since animators were able to finish, and actors & actresses were able to finish voicing at home during lockdown.

Especially since the film featured "Once Upon A Studio", the special Disney100 short where Asha will be appeared alongside Snow White. For me, this is not ordinary animated feature film, but rather as special commemorative animated film to celebrate Disney as a company since 1923.

They must deliver more audiences for a Disney film than TLM and Elemental currently have. Hopefully Wish can matching Barbenheimer (Barbie+Oppenheimer), MI:7 Dead reckoning part 1, and Super Mario Bros. Movie to become the top performers this year.

Ms. Marvel came out many months before She-Hulk, so that's a neat trick.

And Brie Larson is "extremely unlikable" to certain groups already disinclined to view Disney favorably.

Okay. What I said still happened. They were lumped together and criticized as a package. The critics even had a catchphrase, "M-She-U."

Men. Brie Larson is unlikable to men. Who do you think watches superhero content the most?

I’m a man. I don’t find her unlikable. She’s unlikable to the kind of people who say “M-She-U.”

And that’s not Ms Marvel being dismissed because of association with She-Hulk. It’s Ms Marvel being dismissed because she’s female.
