Just watched this for the first time, holy shit how did Disney let a movie this good fail?

Terrible Marketing

That's my point, why did they leave this movie to die instead of making the best book to movie franchise of recent years.
>>67950596
because they focused too much on the fact it's an adaptation
>HEY ALL THE YOUTH OF THE WORLD KNOW ABOUT PRINCESS OF MARS RIGHT
>TELL EM WE'RE MAKING A MOVIE ABOUT IT
Probably saw a bunch of social media fedoras claiming to have read and loved it, too, and figured they were on the right track

but they called the film John Carter, not Princess of Mars.
The hell are you talking about? John Carter was mediocre as shit.

Because the average idiot sees the word princess in a title and assumes it's some flowery bullshit, so it had to be changed to something more action-y.
And yet it was "BASED ON THE BOOK PRINCESS OF MARS" all over the place still.

Reddit, my old friend.
Is this movie the reason why both leads(whom also happened to be in Xmen origins) aren't really doing much in terms of big films?

While I understand that, they chose the worst possible image to market the film, as you can see in my OP, why the fuck would they choose the one scene white apes to tell you what this movie was about, it's just so unrepresentitive.
They should have just used princess of Mars and showed how smoking hot that one chick was

Mars Needs Moms was a failure of spectacular proportions, and the suits decided, get this, that the fault was having the word Mars in the title
And so John Carter of Mars became "John Carter" of nothing.

>Later on, Carter, in a little experiment, wrapped an arm around Woola's neck and began to stroke his head as one would stroke the head of a dog. Woola, who'd never before experienced kindness, felt an immediate love for the Earthman, and thereafter became his loyal hound.
