I think the shared universe thing is not going to work for long. Just look at where several of them are now- DCCU- Back to the drawing board after JL tanked ‘Dark Universe’- probably dead Sony and their Spider-Man related things- Venom will likely get made, but I doubt much will happen beyond that Fox Marvel stuff- Fantastic Four bombed, which scrapped their plans for a shared universe with the X-Men properties. Whatever is not already in production is probably going to get killed by the merger. Gambit is probably one of those casualties since i know Deadpool 2/X-Men Dark Phoenix/New Mutants are all coming out in 2018 and are virtually finished.

Gambit (lol, still can't believe this is a thing) starts shooting in February and the soonest the Disney / Fox deal will close is 2019, with Disney probably not taking full operational control until 2020 or 2021, so that's safe.

Shared universe can work and work very well but Marvel establishes their foothold properly for family entertainment and built a sort of brand of approvals with their name. People seem to know what to expect from their studio movies and it satisfies them. Even the others work well as far as money but it doesn’t have the prestige or desired buzz like Marvels brand does. Marvel doesn’t even do the shares universe as well as it could be done to achieve potential even. And shared universe has even been done in TV before and well, they’re called crossovers.

K. Waste posted:Come on, man, when has Rotten Tomatoes ever steered you wrong? RT is one of those weird beasts that can be very good, but only if you use it right. Not very many people do, and thus the "Certified Fresh" label is lauded and followed like a guiding star by most who forget some very important things: 1) there are a lot of reviewers, and even though some are certified, anyone can become one; 2) critics are just as capable as anyone else of being swept up in a wave of undeserved praise or scorn; 3) a final score being a binary between good and un-good is a damned terrible way to evaluate something like movies. Thus, a lot of boring heinous poo poo is lauded as mostly good while truly interesting and visionary movies get lumped mostly in the middle because those sorts of movies usually defy consensus. Yet, RT keeps being brought up because it's an easy site in which to find, and follow, good critics that you like individually; Metacritic has far too small a pool of critics, and though they list the name of their critics now, they didn't always used to, and iMDB, despite having the greatest collection of movies due to being one of the oldest sites on the Internet, cuts out the critical element altogether. So Rotten Tomatoes is imperfect, but since it has allowed me to find and follow critics that seem to have actually watched movies before, who don't dismiss melodrama because it's melodrama, who see cliches and tropes as tools and not missteps to be dinged, and who do not frequently fall into the gapingly obvious traps laid by a half-good satirist, well... I can't really say it's been a blight on my life. (Though that other type of critic can be fun to read and follow, in a "point and laugh at this horrible idiot" way... though I have to be in the right mood for that. Can't watch CinemaSins anymore, for example; Jeremy has broken me.)

Gambit is awesome people. I don't understand how YOU don't understand that. A ragin Cajun master theif who fights with a bo staff, and has the power to charge up things and make them explode, and throws playing cards as if they were Ninja stars? Played by Channing Tatum?! What kind of cynical jaded fucker doesn't want that.

I really liked how grossly violent and grungy Sabotage was. Felt very early-90s to me. It also made Sam Worthington interesting. I didn't really care for the ending and the whole thing felt a little choppy, like they just excised chunks of it.

Gunther is that mockumentary that looked awful about a lot of assassins trying to kill another assassin, I believe.

Sabotage is easily Ayers' worst film, but still pretty good. Fury is magnificent, though. One of the best of 2014, a tough year.

Having recently caught up on Fury and Sabotage (Sabotage good, Fury excellent), I'm starting to think Ayer is at least as good at casting as Zack Snyder. Dude made Joe Manganiello interesting to me, and that guy is almost always a complete non-starter for me.

Fury was pretty great but that third act completely undermined the entire theme of the movie up to that point, IMHO. Wouldn't be surprised if it was the result of studio interference: "Welp, we can't have an entire movie of showing Allied soldiers as little better than their enemy so here's a rah-rah Nazi murder fest for the third act!"

Even if that were the theme of the movie (it isn't), it reinforces it, not undermines it.
