/co/ already made its choice, but which sides will the casual audiences take?
>>80862706
Yes. How much money would an adaptation of DC vs. Marvel make?
>>80862706
>co/ already made its choice
it has?
>>80862706
Captain America and Superman.
>>80862706
Speaking from personal experience, people overwhelmingly favor CW. Might just be the crowds I hang with, though.
>>80862762
>look how crowded this movie is, ugh
>flopping HARD
>>80862706
>/co/ already made its choice
And what was that?
>/co/llective
discarded opinion
>>80862706
> /co/ is one person
I personally will enjoy both and laugh at companywarfags
>>80862766
five guys shit on 80% of threads about DC "betterness" and from the noise came that conclusion
If I had to guess, I'd bank on BvS making more money. Marvel may have the arguably superior brand reputation compared to DC right now, but BvS has Batman and Superman. That shit's gonna make a billion easy if you factor in global gross.
>>80862762
$1 trillion.
>>80862766
/co/ is strictly gay for Superman and Captain América. Which might have something to do with ia being gay for Cavill and Evans.
>>80863079
>not being gay for Hawkeye
HAVE YOU SEEN THAT MAN'S ASS?
>>80862706
Casuals pick Civil War
Team Iron Man and Team Batman
Ignore the company fags thread?
>>80863038
"Civil War" has Captain America, Iron Man and Spider-Man, though. It'll also easily cross $1 billion.
>>80862706
>implying casuals pick sides
Most normies aren't aware of any of this console wars shit, nor do they care.
>>80863142
I think it'll take a bit longer to reach it compared to BvS.
And for the record, I'm not all that interested in seeing BvS, and I didn't like MoS. I'm just going with what my gut tells me will make the most money (or at least make a shitload of money the fastest), and it'll be the two biggest superheroes in media history going toe-to-toe in a live-action blockbuster for the first time.
>>80863120
I don't know, man. Cap is pretty popular nowadays
Civil War looks a lot better
BvS also has superman holding the film down
There's a chance BvS could be loved by casuals but there's no casual friendly characters in the movie apart from batman and no meme actors to save the film
Look at Suicide Squad
That's how you make a movie for casuals
full of color and crazy stuff happening
>>80863038
like how Man of Steal is the most grossing superhero movie?
oh wait
>>80863206
>meme actors
What the fuck does that even mean?
>>80862706
Well Batman and Iron Man are like ridiculously more popular than Superman and Captain america
Its not really hard to see who will be favored
>>80863079
casuals don't come on /co/
look at reddit and compare /r/batman to /r/superman
One has way more subscribers its almost a joke to compare their casual fanbases
>>80863230
Popular actors.
I think the problem is DC dug itself into a hole with Bale Batman. Casuals will now be "not muh Batman" when they see Affleck and won't flock to the theaters to soo BvS. Meanwhile Marvel has been herding casuals to theaters since Iron Man 1.
>>80862706
After seeing both, I think normies will like the Batman v Superman fight more than Cap vs Iron Man.
>>80862706
DC is making a film. Marvel is making yet another flick. The "just turn ur brain off lol!!1" crowd will love Civil War and shit on BvS while all the 110+ IQ people will say BvS is the best cape movie ever made.
>>80863079
>>80863038
The irony is not lost on me that /co/ spends the year shitting on casuals about well everything but when it comes to their precious capeshit blockbuster movies they absolutely hope the casuals love the movie and make it successful.
A pretty sad testament to the state of the DC fandom.
>>80863350
I'm not really a DC fan, I have no investment in regards to whether Marvel or DC films succeed, and I don't give a single damn about "casuals".
>>80863230
someone who is loved or known by the GP because of how quirky they are IRL or in their performances
For instance look at RDJ and Chris Pratt
quirky meme actors irl
whereas you have the tom hardy and jared leto
who are quirky in their performances
Why is everyone so obsessed with how much money these movies are going to make? If fucking deadpool can be successful it's safe to assume these will both cross a billion easy.
>>80863230
Jennifer Lawrence
>>80863390
So why not just call them "quirky" actors instead of essentially describing them as "cultural in-joke actors"?
>>80863079
Spiderman's movies haven't really grossed that well.
Iron Man does though.
>>80863413
Because company wars.
>>80862706
The majority of /co/ favours CW. BVS is just the same people recycling the same posts everyday.
It's evident by the IPs in each thread, CW always has more IPs even with less posts, and in BvS threads a large chunk of the posters are just making fun of all the shills.
>>80863429
They have when ajusted for inflation.
>>80863429
Spiderman's worst performing movie (TASM2) made over 700 million dollaroos
Adjusting for inflation both Spiderman 1 and 3 broke the 1 billion barrier
>yfw the least successful Spidey movie outgrossed MoS and superfags are still crying "muh iconic"
>>80863560
>Spiderman 1 and 3 made over a billion dollars
>Even though 2 is widely considered the best
How?
>>80863429
>Spiderman's movies haven't really grossed that well.
What the fuck are you talking about?
>>80863631
2 still got very close, but i guess 3 had the symbiote hype going for it
>>80863332
Just like when casuals were going to say "not muh Batman" to Tim Burton's darker Batman and when casuals were going to say "not muh Batman" to George Clooney right?
Why do you people think this vague casual audience has all these insane hangups?
>>80863622
He's still iconic, thought. Just unpopular among the general public, for very dumb reasons that wouldn't exist if casuals weren't casuals.
>>80862973
>>80862990
He's talking team Cap or Tony and Supes or Batman, not Marvel vs DC.
>>80863631
More competition
harry potter, notebook, anchorman etc
>>80863686
Everyone loves a dark Batman though. If anything people had a problem with campier Batmen. Now I don't know what you're saying, George Clooney was pretty poorly recieved.
I think both will make over a billion but none of them will reach Furious 7 or Jurassic World levels, let alone 2 Billion like Star Wars The Force Awakens.
In fact I think 2016 will have more big hits in general than 2015 but. Just not any as big as Furious 7 or Star Wars 7.
>>80863720
But the casuals are right, Superman as a character is boring.
His stories may not be,but in 75 years of history there are only a few instances he's been written with depth and well-rounded characteristics, something that other characters carry in each and every one of their appearances, like Batman or Spiderman.
The bottom line is that casuals are right and they will be right until you prove them wrong with arguments instead of just murmuring"you haven't read the comics" and "if you don't like superman you're a bad person".
>>80863424
They kinduv are that, though
>>80863720
Maybe if Superman had as many cartoons as Batman, things would be different
>>80863842
>Superman as a character is boring
>His stories may not be
Then he's not.
>>80863631
Half the time, the sequel fails to outgross the original.
>>80863898
Majority are. That's the problem.
>>80863622
How much did '78 Sup's make adjusted for inflation?
>>80864174
About 1 billion, can't say if it's less or more, probably a bit more.
>>80862706
>but which sides will the casual audiences take?
Definitely Cap's, I even feel Memecide Squad is even more normie approved than BvS.
>>80863787
You must be pretty young because everyone was vehemently against Batman being dark before the Burton movie came out.
>>80863842
This post is hilarious
>>80863101

2.Dark Knight 53%
3.Spiderman 49%
4.Batman 61%
5.Spiderman 2 47%
6.TDKR 41%
7.Superman 78 44%
8. MIB 43%
9.AoU 32%
10.Spiderman 3 37%
this doesn't include international though, some movies like IM3, TDKR and AoU would be higher.
>>80863842
>the casuals are right
When has this ever been true about anything?
>>80864338
About a ton of things actually.
Not having personal investment and affection cloud your judgement is a huge pro.
>>80863350
In the current BvS hype thread the consensus seems to be that critics don't matter because they're hacks that will judge the movie unfairly and at the same time they're celebrating because a few of them gave good ratings
Although i wouldn't say it's the DC fandom going to shit, it's just retards being retards
>>80864246
Yeah, I was born in 88, I've only seen dark Batmen being popular during my lifetime.
That said, the campy Adam West Batman barely lasted two seasons before people got tired of it.
>>80863842
Batman interesting?
I'd say that Batman has even LESS decent character stories and half of those aren't even centred on him anyway.
Killing Joke is considered one of his best comics and its really a Joker comic anyway, Bats is barely in it.
Mostly because he requires his villains to make him interesting.
>>80863842
What a dumb post
>>80864359
What good is a clear judgement if you don't know shit about what you're judging
>>80862706
Bat-man and Cap obviously, cause majority love Bats and people respect Cap more cause of his past movies
>>80864445
Read more comics tbqh senpai
>>80864473
I think we could say the same for some hardcore fans
>>80863340
This. It is already confirmed BvS is a patrician film.
>>80863340
>>80864533
Laugh all you want, but some people really think this way.
>>80864557
No it's just transparent /tv/ trolling. Jesus.
>>80864419
Don't forget the movie!
Honestly watching 60's Batman is pretty fun now, over the years I've gotten sick of him being such a fucking edgelord that its actually kinda refreshing.
>>80864359
It's impossible for someone to be right about something they know nothing about, except for memes, unless by pure chance.
>>80864473
I don't know man, maybe they know as much as you do know about them right before you dismiss them as casuals.
>>80864594
It really is, but some dc fans really fell for the kino meme

>>80864557
I don't get it
I was just reading posts of people talking about how they love that Snyder is using Supes as "a mirror of our society" and how BvS is now a message "against the sanitization of violence"
It's Zack fucking Snyder
Zack "Nite Owl and Silk can break people's bones" Snyder
Zack "Persians really need monsters on their ranks otherwise they don't look like villains enough" Snyder
Zack "dude, samurai strippers lmao" Snyder
It was like a text version of pic related, at this point it's beyond wether MoS is a good movie or not
>>80864823
Snyder convinced a lot of people that the property damage in "Man of Steel" was an intentional part of the movie's message.
While I respect his decision to face his fuck-up head-on rather than try sweeping it under the rug like the did in the end of MoS, it has given birth to whole new slew of strawman arguments by rabid defenders.
>>80864707
>Apparently
did he convert it to zimbabwe dollars?
you realise that you have to take into account only inflation for cinema ticket's and not the whole economy inlfation right?
>>80864707
This is totally wrong, it would be 1100000000 or so.
Fuck your company wars, post best boys.
>>80863686
Burton did have pushback. You just didn't notice because the internet wasn't around to collate it and admittedly it wasn't as big since there were a couple decades between Adam West and Tim Burton to dull the outrage
Clooney almost the franchise. Out of all the Batman movies in existence it's easily the most reviled. So yeah, people did go "Not muh Batman" to that.
>>80864823
Snyder didn't write the movie. An Oscar winning writer did.
>>80864823
/tv/tards confuse lighting for narrative depth. Snyder's movies aren't smart. They're just well lit. Apparently that makes them kino or cinema or some other shit.
>>80865068
>DAY VS NIGHT
>BLACK AND BLUE
>MAN OF MURDER VS BAT OF GOTHAM
>MMMM BOYS VS BANE
>ADIDAS VS NIKE

>>80865103
>well-lit
I don't even agree to that.
But he frames pretty shots and often has interesting production design.
>>80864419
Sorry but you really don't know what you're saying if you think 60's Batman wasn't insanely popular and a cultural touchstone for decades after it aired.
To the majority of the world, that WAS Batman. To them saying that they were making a dark Batman movie was like saying they were gonna make a violent and dark Flintstones reboot.
I guess it's hard to imagine today, but at the time literally nobody except comic fans knew Batman had been dark for a long time. There was even a petition to get Keaton replaced with Adam West because people believed noone else should be allowed to play Batman.
I can't understate how much Batman '89 singlehandedly changed the entire world's perception of Batman.
>>80865068
You have to consider that Terrio still had to use Goyer's stuff, fixing a supposedly bad script doesn't necessarily mean trashing it completely. Plus "Oscar winning" writers and actors costantly do a lot worse, it's not a guaranteed seal of quality. Plus the director is always an influence
>>80865108
I'm not saying that it's gonna be the most amazing thing ever or award winning, but saying it's gonna be stupid because Snyder is wrong.
>>80862706
Captain America andBatman
>>80865233
And you're wrong if you think the director is just a cameraman.
>>80865108
>implying that isn't great smug asshole dialogue
>>80865179
As influential as West Batman was, people got sick of it pretty fast in the sixties. That's why it only got two seasons, and why after the first, it was retooled, and it lost a lot of its budget.
Campy stuff never does too well. That's why Twin Peaks only lasted two seasons too.
>>80862706
Are Capfags really delusional enough to think casuals aren't still overwhelmingly biased in favor of the RDJtrain?
>>80865430
>That's why it only got two seasons,
They had three seasons.
>>80862706
BvS? I think there will be a lot of casuals that go out to see it opening day, but then it's going to bomb pretty hard after that when bad word of mouth spreads.
Then it will sort of be a laughing stock until Civil War comes out, and they'll accept that much better.
What remains to be seen is if BvS has an overrall negative impact on the cape movie genre and other, better films suffer because of it.
>>80865430
>>80865492
They had a 3rd season but that's when they came up with Batgirl to try attract a bigger audience
>>80862706
>implying they wont see both
BvS might make more money, given its Batman and as a march release, it has no real competition
But given that its Zack Snyder, it will undoubtably be shit and this place will become as awful as it was in 2013 when MOS was shit.
>>80863167
Spider-Man is bigger worldwide than either of them. Maybe even both combined.

... adjusted for inflation. Missing = ASM2 which only made $709.0 M.
>>80862706
Cap and Batman
>>80868133
I think it's a little unfair to lump the whole MCU under one "superhero franchise." Yeah one guy's 5 films is less than 6 separate characters' respective film series. Plus ASM2 puts him over Batman.
>>80868117
There was one until a few minutes ago, must've devolved into shitposting so it was deleted
>>80868199
They're obvious shill threads.
>>80868264
This meme is so old. The simple fact is that there are plenty of people who are legitimately excited for this movie, probably moreso than for any movie in their lives, and it's completely reasonable that they would want to make threads about it. Why would WB pay to do what people on /co/ does for free?
>>80868264
Yeah, the civil war threads a worse too.

>>80868186
>Plus ASM2 puts him over Batman
>math genius
Batman (Burton to Nolan) = $4.758 BN
Spider-Man (Tobey to Andrew1) = $3.821 BN + (Andrew2) $0.709 = $4.530 BN
**And remember ... this is adjusted for inflation.
**Consider Batman (1989)
-- domestic adjusted is $547.7 M [that's just domestic which is over half it's gross].
-- Batman (1989) home video release was the SAME DAY as the theatrical release (first and only time it's been done); which means, repeat viewership happened at home.
-- No IMAX then; so no extraordinary theater prices.
