But in a week and a half the amount of films will double and then increase by 2 every year.

Ideally... but if BvS doesn't make a billion dollars, who knows what will happen?!
This is the same studio that promised us a Justice League movie for 2015, then pussied out and gave us Batman v Superman. Then it pussied out and pushed that it back to May 2016. Then it pussied out again when it realized it would go up against Marvel's Mr. America 3 and moved it to the ever-so-lucrative-for-films month of March.
Oh, then it's revealed that all the tension between the two title characters will go away in the third act so they can team up and fight a Doomsday.
Outlook not so good, bruh.

Here is chart that includes Sony's Spider-Man shared universe, Fox's X-men shared universe, and Chris Nolan's very own special Batman universe.
Nolan's three films absolutely blow every other movie out and are lumped at the top, so for the sake of having nice neat book-ends I threw in Fox's Fantastic Four shared universe.

WB didn't promise anything in 2015. There might have been rumors of Justice League coming in 2015, but they probably came from unfounded sources. Those rumblings all were likely happening during production of Man of Steel as well. I call bullshit. WB/DC have been trying to get a Batman/Superman movie together for the longest time and Man of Steel somehow ended up being the perfect setup for that. Batman v Superman was originally supposed to to come out in May as well. It only changed release dates to March, i.e., one time, and it do so because it seems like Marvel wanted to play chicken. DC budged for very obvious reasons; Marvel bullied them out because they have since become a box office juggernaut. They didn't "pussy out" bruh. And you're probably going to be surprised about how significant Doomsday is to the overall, more important narrative arc in BvS, from what I've been reading online from those who have claimed to have seen the movie.

2) Black Panther looks loving sweeeeeeeeet.
3) Why show Spider-Man now. Why, why, why, why, why. Leave that for people to lose their poo poo at when the movie actually comes out. Dammit. That is such a bad choice.

Why show anything? They should market it as a romcom featuring Katherine Heigl. Imagine how much people would lose their poo poo when the movie their girlfriend dragged them to turned out to be Civil War.

Yes. In fact, movies themselves are nothing more than free-flowing spreadsheets and charts. Every reference in Deadpool and every song in Guardians was just data to me.

Hawkeye.

Looks like they're trying to leave the Avengers compound, Vision does something to Clint, and that pisses Wanda the hell off since she's pretty close with Hawkeye.

Man of Steel is better than any Marvel studios film.

Jutsuka
Jun 5, 2011

Taking a closer look at the screen where Thunderbolt Ross is showing the clips from previous films the canon deathtoll is as follows:

The Avengers
Overall losses $18.8 billion, 74 casualties.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Overall losses $2.8 billion, 23 casualties.

Avengers: Age of Ultron
Overall losses $474 billion, 177 casualties.

So in three films depicting an alien invasion of New York led by an Asgardian god, three helicarriers crashing in the middle of Washington D.C. and a rogue A.I. intent on engineering an extinction level event the total loss of life is 274 people.

The Avengers can't be accurate because some of the most expensive real estate in the world was blown up, plus we see a clip of a newspaper that claims hundreds died in the attack on New York City.

I swear they are terrified of getting the same criticism as MoS and have been trying to minimize it ever since. Even "hundreds" is a preposterous estimate, given what we see in the first 5 minutes after the portal opens and the Chitari are shooting exploding lasers at crowds of people, cars, and buildings.

They should just go with it cause it means Civil War's story makes a lot more sense. it adds a lot more weight to what is going on. Don't retcon this Marvel! This actually matters a lot to the overall Avengers storyline.

The difference is that most of the Avengers you could kill with a gun and good timing.

Haha. Jesus Christ.

But, actually, this makes sense if you read it as the number of deaths for which the Avengers were found personally responsible.

Like, straight-up negligent homicide kind of stuff.
