Necrothatcher posted:It's not really a recruitment campaign, it's a propaganda exercise intended to normalize the military-industrial complex. Part of it is absolutely a recruitment campaign - there's one prominent example of this. The STEM academy at the end of Black Panther ties in nicely with the introduction of Spider-Man, encouraging bookish high school students to become Information Warriors or whatever. In universe, Tony Stark creates a fake scholarship to ferret out potentially useful minors who may have superpowers, irl, Marvel announces and quickly cancels a joint promotion for Lockheed Martin's Teen Avengers.

MoS gets flack for the military and corporate sponsorship but at least within the movie itself, the sponsored businesses all get obliterated and the military is shown as incompetent and invasive even after Superman proved himself not a threat.

grieving for Gandalf posted:https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20211024-three-stars-for-chlo-zhaos-disappointing-eternals it's currently on track to have the lowest RT score in the franchise since Thor: TDW, if not the lowest overall. oof. having said that, I get the feeling that if Eternals underperforms, Marvel's likeliest takeaway will be that they gave Zhao too much creative control on the project and that they need to rein in directors (even) further, so I think the box office here is a no-win situation for people who don't care much for the MCU

I still like the MCU overall (though definitely not as enthusiastically as I did a few years ago), but I've gotten to the point where I find MCU haters more sympathetic than devoted MCU fans simply because the latter has proven so unable to deal with criticism despite the franchise dominating culture to a greater degree than any film franchise to date has managed. sorest winners in the history of pop culture, I swearMegaman's Jockstrap posted:I am glad they tried something new-ish (for them) even if the results are apparently not great. same, even many of the negative reviews still make me want to see it for the ambition, even if its reach significantly exceeds its grasp that said, a lot of the reviews also fault it for ultimately not being ambitious enough, namely in that it sticks too closely to the rest of the franchise in its tone and narrative tropes Barry Convex fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Oct 27, 2021 |

Having worked in the military industrial complex for a couple years…let me tell you lmao. They do pay well though and most of the people I worked with were cool. I did bring up making an Iron Man suit and some there had already figured most of it out except didn’t manage to find a way to let the person in the suit survive impacts at high speeds Gatts fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Oct 27, 2021 |

Spider-Man is coming barely a month after Eternals, even if Eternals flops (which I’m not confident about) it’s gonna roll off the MCU like water on a duck’s back both critically and financially

The "worst case scenario" is they end up with an okay critical reception, an okay financial haul, and then Eternals will get the Hulk treatment where they show up periodically, but never get a sequel.

What's more damning is that he apparently doesn't even have a shirtless scene, which begs the question why he pumped himself full of PEDs and growth hormones if that is the case And the only conclusion is KVeezy3 posted:Let's be real: dude embarked on the PED journey because of personal insecurities

Apparently, the producer told him he didn't need to get fit for the role at all beyond cardio and they had to actually tell his personal trainers to stop listening to Nanjiani because they wanted him to chill out on it. The original vision for Kingo was a skinny nerdier type and Nanjiani says he got jacked against their wishes because he wanted the first South Asian superhero in a major movie to be jacked. quote:Marvel Told Kumail Nanjiani He Got Too Ripped For Eternals

Also, those "UNTITLED FEATURE" MCU releases for 2023 are getting filled in. One of them is the already announced Fantastic 4. The others are: - A Black Panther: Wakanda Forever spinoff Disney+ series featuring Danai Gurira as Okoye - A Thunderbolts movie - Shang-Chi 2 - A Nova movie Nova seems like a weird choice to lead into Fantastic 4. The Thunderbolts movie feels pretty obvious, given that they have been setting it up with Julia Louis-Dreyfus. quote:Marvel is preparing to begin production on four new projects from Phase 4 of the MCU in 2023, including a Thunderbolts movie. Phase 4 has presented some difficulties for Marvel, starting with the kickoff film Black Widow being delayed by over a year due to theater closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, 2020 was the first year since 2007 that didn't see a single project from the MCU. Even now that Phase 4 has fully kicked into gear in 2021 with two films and 3 Disney+ live-action shows that have already premiered, and Eternals, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Hawkeye still on the horizon, quote:Marvel Studios is reportedly planning a Nova movie as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the pages of Marvel Comics, human Richard Rider, a.k.a. “Nova” is chosen as a teenager by Rhomann Dey, the last surviving Centurion of Xandar's Nova Corps, to inherit his power and succeed him in the rank of Nova Prime—who possesses super strength, near invulnerability, flight, and a uniform with a sealed life-support system. Following the establishment of Rhomann Dey (John C. Reilly) and the Nova Corps in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy, fans have anticipated the arrival of Rider’s Nova.
