RUSSOS LITERALLY SAVED MCU
I feel like Marvel is gonna dry their well soon
>>78607717
People have to be getting burnt out on the sheer volume of super hero movies. I know I am.
>>78607691
Sweet.
>>78607741
That, and I feel that Marvel will use up all of its popular brands too fast.
>>78607790
Nigger they literally beat the most iconic superhero using a bunch of Z listers nobody outside comic fans knew
>>78607691
This is going to be awesome
>>78607741
Don't watch them then faggot. There are other movies besides comic book movies coming out this year.
>>78607923
>other movies besides comic book movies
Romantic comedies, comedies, Michael Bay explosion movies, and kids films
you're a normalfag if you watch that kind of shit
>>78607959
>normalfag
Are you an abnormalhet?
>>78607959

>>78607959
It's a shame this isn't getting the hype it deserves.
>>78608769
it got the hype it deserved 3 days ago when it was first posted
What is awesome about this?
I can't wait for the Avengers fad to die in general.
>>78607691
>Saved
Bub, MCU and Marvel both are on their peaks now... Based Russos are just doing the gods work to take it a step ahead.
>>78607790
Good, then we can get a Thunderbolts movie.
Or maybe even the GLA.
>>78608880
/co/ is of the impression that AoU was somehow a failure.
It was a shit movie sure, but it still made a ton of money. Marvel doesn't need "saving" after it, the casual audience still views MCU in a very positive light.
>>78608960
>the casual audience still views MCU in a very positive light.
Because they can't see that Avengers 2 was a shitty movie and that Ant-Man was just okay at best.
>>78607790
>popular brands
nigger marvel made their way to now with only B C and Z listers, they just got back their most popular brand, by this point i wont be surprised if a Brute Force or Demolition Man movie breaks 500 million
>>78609019
At least they can see what a giant turd man of steel was
>>78609036
>B,C, and Z Listers
>Iron Man
>Hulk
>Captain America
>Thor
Okay.
>>78607741
Where are you reading/hearing this other than 4chan?
>>78609081
Hulk was always a B lister but who the fuck cared about Cap, iron man or thor pre MCU?
at most they where ''those characters from the capcom games''
>>78609019
or maybe you are just being a contrarion anon :^)
i heard its the coolest thing to do these days, Dark Knight returns was so overrated am i right?
>>78609132
Thor was always the tow truck driver that saved those kids from danger
>>78609081
>>Avengers were popular before the movies.
This is like the "Avengers comics sell a lot" meme. Lol Stop.
>>78609113
Age of Ultron pulled in $200mil less domestically than Avengers. Ant Man had the third lowest gross of any Marvel movie. Both are successful, but it's a downward trend in 2016. People are getting tired of the same people and Marvel after, what? Eight years and twelve movies? That's a long fucking time for the same old same old. Especially with new franchises that have either arrived (Star Wars) or are coming (DCEU, Harry Potter spinoff, etc.). I can't speak for everyone, but I'm just tired and burnt out on the MCU.
>>78607790
>popular brands
>Thor
>Ironman
>Captain America
>Ant Man
>Guardians of the Galaxy
All of these were the best, most well known and popular heroes before their films? Hahahahahabahabababababahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Faggot
>>78609081
are you for real here or just underage?
Marvel was literally the ''Spider-man and X-men company'' before the MCU
>>78609254
>I can't speak for everyone
>people are getting burnt out
Inb4 Marvel spams the hell out of this combo in everything, and /co/ hates it forever.
I don't know why people like the MCU, they are killing the comics, and people seem okay with it.
>>78607691
dat jojo pose
>>78609081
The only one anyone knew about before Avengers was Hulk, and that was from his TV show
>>78609339
And the X-Men portion is mostly because of the movies as well. The cartoon had a helping hand but still.
>>78609254
You can't form a trend with two movies amigo, especially movies that were on special circumstances.
Wait and see how Civil War and Strange go before you decide it's a downward spiral
![latest[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/ItQ0OHH.jpg "latest[1].jpg")
>>78609444
it was a factor of the cartoon, the movies and the 1991 relaunch
this comic is what singlehadidly sparked public interest in the X-men

What do you call losing a third of your domestic gross and your third worst performing movie? Businessmen don't settle for "good enough" and "it still made a lot of money." Companies freak out at negative trends and hate leaving money on the table. It was enough of a clusterfuck that Disney tore the studio part out of Marvel and into Disney proper.
Amazing Spider-Man 2 did well and made $700mil, more than half the movies MCU took in. But it's considered a failure because Amazing Spider-Man 1 pulled in $750mil and it should have made more.
Suddenly making less, especially on your flagship is the deathkneel for franchises. It means people are starting to engage less in the product and profits will inevitably fall after. Civil War is basically an Avengers movie now since DC's getting into the game in full force. They really need it to pull more than Age of Ultron. God knows what would happen if Infinity War drew less than the first Avengers.
>>78608896
>Thunderbolts
>no villains alive
>>78609254
>DCEU
>Implying it won't be shit
Come on, man. There are only 2 reasons anyone wants to see SS and 1 reason anyone wants to see BvS. Unless DC has done a serious rework, MoS has ruined any chance of a DC movieverse ever being good.
Also, AoU was only really shit because they had to nerf Ultron so much. The quipping was a little annoying, but Ultron is Tony's opposite.
>>78609619
>sold the most during war times and ok after the Stan lee/Jack Kirby relaunch
and still the mainstream to the mainstream audience he was literally who before the movies
meme moment
>>78609466
i am worried like shit about strange because i think people are expecting some new and incredible about the movie and marvel will play safe
>>78609769
Yes marvel plays it safe lol what is gotg
>Superhero fatigue isn't a real thing
Look at this graph.
There is a clear decline in domestic box office numbers, people aren't watching these movies anymore.
The very FIRST iron man movie still made more than every single movie in phase 2 bar Avengers 2 and IM 3. What does that say about the state of the MCU?

>>78609466
Studios have trashed or rebooted franchises for less:
Domestic Returns
Spider-Man $262mil
Spider-Man 2 $374mil
Spider-Man 3 $337mil
AoU lost $200mil from Avengers. $200mil, one third. Those are crazy numbers to lose. It wasn't surprising to hear there was a lot of behind the scenes turmoil around the summer when Ant-Man was pulling in lower numbers.

Thank you, Wesley.
>>78609689
No he wasn't.
For example, my country, being known for hating America throughout its history, made a fucking movie about him in 70s.
In 90's and 2000's, the time which mainstream comic books went popular in my country, people fucking hated him because of policies USA had around the time. Leftists used him as a mock-icon. Actual comic readers defended him as ''It is what American people are supposed to be. Stop hating on something because it has American Flag on it!!!!''.
http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/1996/1996-09.html
Just look at his sales starting from 96. It has ups and downs but he sold pretty fucking good back then. You're delusional.

Zola blew up. He ain't coming back.
Also, didn't Blizzard get shot and drown?
And AIM left hardly any presence.
>>78609944
Your post reeks wishful thinking pal.
Marvel will not go down because AoU pulled less than expected. Antman exceeded their expectations though, as evidenced by their announcement of a sequel.
>>78610027
Damn, so the Marvel domination is not a new thing? Pretty damn bad sales for DC compared to Marvel there.
>>78610077
>Antman exceeded their expectations though, as evidenced by their announcement of a sequel.
No it didn't
They were always going to make a sequel because they found a safe formula that prints them money. So they think that anything they make them them rich. Even if it's bad.
>>78609113
I've seen some nerdbaiting around the internet that claims the same thing. All the support for such an argument is rather spurious though.
>>78609628
Including the anon you're responding to.
>>78609674
>>78609960
Why do I keep seeing people act like a Thunderbolts movie could only use pre-existing villains, even though you could easily introduce characters like Songbird, Moonstone, etc. within the movie itself?
>>78607691
I want to see Scott and Clint talk about their kids and make everyone groan when they trot out the baby pictures.
>>78610046
>Zola
I'm still holding out hope that a digital mind didn't die in an explosion
>Blizzard
I'm pretty sure he's still alive, need to double check that though
>AIM
just because the director of IM3 didn't know how to use aim doesn't mean that someone better can't use them.
>>78609683
>So much ignorance.
Quality helps movies, but it's very overrated. If quality mattered, Oscar worthy movies wouldn't be bombing left and right.
MoS made $700mil, which is really good for a first try. BvS and the DCEU in general has a ton of hype and will do very well. Not believing that is just straight hugbox safe space mentality.
http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%2Fm%2F0wrshm2%2C%20%2Fm%2F0125zrjx&cmpt=q&tz=Etc%2FGMT%2B8
Marvel has to hit big and hit now. They can't go into Infinity War limping. And it's going to be harder now than ever due to increased competition.
>>78609683
MoS still made more than all phase 1 MCU movies except for Avengers and still made more than Thor 2.
>MoS ruined everything :(((
I disliked the movie too but overall the reception was divided.
BvS is going to be a success either way and SS got a positive reception from Comic-Con.
>>78610149
Because casuals think that Thunderbolts is a rip off a suicide squad, meaning that the only villains that can be used for the team are ones captured. Not many know that Thunderbolts were actually villains, posing as heroes, scamming the common people. I just want Moonstone in a movie, that's all.

>Your post reeks of wishful thinking pal.
Feel free to stay ignorant of how the world works, man. Marvel Studios are going to go through big changes, and soon. Especially with the established cast getting older and depending on how Infinity War does overall. AoU made more, I'd have said they'll recast or put in legacy characters to keep the train rolling. Now I'm guessing they'll straight reboot sometime after.

holy underage. when marvel announced they were doing an iron man movie it was met with a large "wtf". regular people did not know who iron man was. it was seen as a large gamble because at the time marvel studious was an indie movie company (Disney didn't buy them yet) and if iron man didn't do well they were pretty much doomed.
>>78611040
>regular people did not know who iron man was
Not even in the 60s?
>>78610925
Nothing was filtered, I literally wrote dckek-k under, get with the times

I see your point but its that bad for them yet.
>>78611089
Trying to avoid another ban, huh?
>>78611080
why is that relevant to whether iron man was considered a hot property right when the movie was announced?
>>78611115
Days are not easy on dc nazi occupied /co/ senpai
>>78611113
It did worse than the first avengers
>>78609081
>Doesn't count Guardians as Z listers
Literally nobody knew who they were before their movie. Now Rocket Raccoon and Starlord are household names.
>>78611138

Just flavors of the month, unless you put them in SW or something.
>>78610041
>some D-lister teams up with a C-lister
Before the MCU, sure. Now thanks to their movie appearances, their MCU versions are solid high B to low A-listers. Everyone know about Renner's Hawkeye and Rudd's Ant-Man now.
The MCU stops being profitable enough = Marvel dies, for good. Start preparing your farewell notes, everyone.
>>78611358
Sure, sure.

Shhh, it's OK. I'm sure you're not the only marveloser in this board.
>>78611992
You also forgot that quality went down because Bendis fucked everything up, and if movie sales are so great, why is Iron man on normal sales again ?
>>78612029
I didn't use green text, lol dc fans are stupid
>>78612065
Now you're just changing subject because you got btfo
>>78611775
Sorry but the term TV implied live action. Every character's been in the goddamn DCAU. Of course Harley's popular, I never said otherwise. Point being?
>>78612114
i aint him though, different person man, also you still haven't answered my question, if movies help boast sales, what happened to Iron man ? shit its even the great bendis writing it

LE LEL
>>78609921
That Iron Man is their most popular single hero.
Even the ones low on the totem pole like Thor and Ant-Man still make money. They just don't make Avengers or Iron Man money. Which is fine, not everything needs to, though it feels they're going to try and make it that way by stacking more heroes into the movies (Hulk in Thor, everyone in Cap 3).
>>78612208
>They just don't make Avengers or Iron Man money. Which is fine
Try to convince Disney about it and I'll believe you, toy store employee.
>>78612234
I don't have to, they keep making sequels to them (aside from Hulk, and Universal is a big reason for that), so obviously they're successful enough. Though they seem to be including more heroes in the solo films. Civil War practically feels like an Avengers movie from the previews, no doubt that will boost box office.
>toy store employee.
???
>>78612145
The argument was whether GotG was flavour of the month or not. What are, an idiot? Can't you understand what we're talking about and the context of the arguments?
>>78611558
>Most of these characters were already known thanks to TV, though.
Joker and Harley, sure, Deadshot and Boomer.... maybe, if you're stretching
The others? heck, i doubt even comic fans knew Slipknot before he was announced
>>78610214

>>78609960
Most of those are shit, though. What Marvel needs to do is make some better villains during Phase 3 so we can get a Thunderbolts movie using them during Phase 4.
>>78607691
I was so sure they were going to save this for Infinity War. Hopefully that doesn't mean Hawkeye dies in this movie.
