Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:https://twitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1669453835436187651 170 is great actually for an opening. If you mean domestic. If that's the worldwide number though... yeah that's gonna be a rough haul on that budget. You better hope the reactions and word of mouth are as good as they were promised to be.

Seems to be for worldwide, yeah. Domestic is currently tracking around $70 million, which is Black Adam numbers.

But they said it was the greatest superhero movie ever made. That doesn't make sense. Surely it will have great word of mouth and just be a slow burn moneymaker.

This is gonna seem like folly considering Spider-Verse is still in theaters, and to be clear I'm not including it in this statement, but I'm definitely hitting a point of diminishing returns on comic multiverse stuff. I wasn't really interested in it before all this, to be fair, but it's getting to the point where it's hard to imagine still having any interest in that concept by the time Secret Wars is out.

I'm not gonna see Flash in theaters because I don't want to give them any money for sticking with Miller. So the clips and stills I've seen have been hilarious and make me glad I saved the money. Look them up. It all looks so bad. If it's intentional than it's a terrible choice and giving this guy Batman is a huge mistake.

For me I don't think its the multiverse per se, but a lot of stuff feels like an ad for its own sequel and its getting a bit exhausting. Flash and Ant Man 3 both feel like movies where the central point is something they want explain so they can use more later. Maybe I'm being unfair to movies I haven't seen. No Way Home and IttSV definitely used the multiverse just as a side piece for their own complete story. They did it so well they don't really feel like "multiverse" stories.

The best has been something like "Much better than I feared it would be" Gunn was the one who called it possibly the greatest superhero movie of all time. And they've had this weird marketing push where there are stories about people like Stephen King and Tom Cruise praising the film. Things that just appear to be engineered solely for marketing purposes. They're trying so hard to market it this way because they can't market it the normal way, you know where you have the star of the film go and promote it.

Specifically Gunn said it was one of the best superhero movies he'd ever seen, and definitely not just because it's his job to help these succeed

I went through the same poo poo with these multiversal movies as I did with comics many years ago. Super into it at first, thought it was cool and imagined more possibilities then got completely sick of it, wondering the hell when they'll be back to telling actual stories. I quit comics because of the interconnected universe crap making it impossible to tell a coherent story over more than 5 issues, and I'm very much nearing that edge with mcu crap. Multiverse stuff is taking the interconnectedness up to 11.

Flash was alright. The whole movie hinges on Ezra Miller being funny, and everyone having Michael Keaton nostalgia. The Barry loves his dead mommy stuff is well done, but it’s nothing we haven’t seen in the tv series.

The Illuminati scene definetly started pushing me over that edge, and rewatching No Way Home it felt a little pandering. Spider-Verse shows it can certainly be done well, but it's getting pretty overdone. Hopefully they tone that kind of thing down going forward (except for Loki where it actually works wekk) and then they can go big with it in Secret Wars and blow things up and go back to smaller scale things

It's funny to me that for the Flash movie, Battinson doesn't show up at all. Isn't that still considered an ongoing property that they're doing more with? Having him show up as the joke at the end instead of Clooney would have made more sense, in my opinion. Keep something that's actually still happening with DC in the minds of the audience that actually gives a poo poo about any of this.
