I’ve been seeing the commercial for this movie on Prime and other streaming services...maybe even YouTube(?). The heroine looked very blah. Wrap that in with the wokeism and Marvel Superhero overkill...I have no interest in seeing this movie.

Hopefully, now that the Kung Flu is over and people need to get their asses back to work, they’ve outgrown comic books and stupid hero movies like Skip the Black Panther and Barbie the Pink Cougar.

Hard pass. I wouldn’t even use a torrent for it.

I read a bunch of comic books when I was a kid but outgrew them by the time I was about 14.

I will never understand why adults are wanting to see superhero movies based on comic books (unless they are accompanying their children).

Not trying to make myself sound superior here but I have zero interest in Batman, Superman, Spiderman, etc.

These were comic book stories transferred into cartoons. All the CGI in the world won’t change that.

Create good stories, make a quality film with talented actors, and people will likely go.

Thatโ€™s where the recent Marvel movies fail. Therโ€™s no likeability for either the story/plot, the actors, or the woke crap put into the movie that serves no purpose.

The last Disney movie I really enjoyed, was โ€œTogoโ€. A relatively simple story, that harkened back to the days when Disney could tell stories.

According to the article, the movie is "headed for a domestic opening of $47 million to $52 million" plus "$60 million" overseas "for a global start of $140 million."

Gosh, math is hard! When I add the numbers I come up with a range of $107 million (47+60) to $112 million (52+60). Get that writer a job as a government economist!

Back when I was young superhero movies were relegated to cliffhanger serials but few major movies were made. They were given a “B” budget to be shown in B&W on the bottom half of a drive in movie double feature under Hercules and the Women from Mars.

Today they are given a top rated budget, great color and special effects. As Siskel and Ebert said decades ago,

“The first movie makers were raised on great books and made movies of Great Books. Today’s movie makers were raised on....comic books.”

In looking at what was showing at our local six plex theaters, a horror movie, four superhero movies and one kid movie. It never seems to change.

I have not been to a theater since 2010 to see the remake of True Grit. I might go back to see NAPOLEON.

and bolsters the theory that superhero fatigue is a real thing as fanboys grow weary of a glut of titles and are far less forgiving.

The glut is not the issue. The woke crap is the issue. No one wants to see a superhero doing disgusting things with their sidekick.
