It feels like Marvel Studios gave up on it before it was even released.

Marvels has a marketing budget? I think I saw more ads for secret invasion.

I saw a McDonalds happy meal toy for Marvels in a thrift store at the beginning of October. A month before release, that toy had already been out at McDs for several weeks, donated, sat in sorting, and ended up in a thrift store bin. When was that happy meal campaign??

I remember being very confused when they popped up in my niece's Happy Meals.

The really crappy thing is you just know they're going to learn all the wrong lessons and blame all the wrong things for this. Plus it sounds like they had already identified a lot of the issues beforehand and started taking some action, so really it's going to be more about rebuilding Trust then any more concrete changes at this point anyway

Haven't there been movies in the past that had their production rushed because they had a hard date on their McDonalds tie in?

The Silver Surfer will be in the new Fantastic Four movie (not too surprising since Galactus is already confirmed) and they are genderswapping him to be a woman. Also, Captain America 4 was delayed again because they felt the action scenes weren't as satisfying as the scenes in Winter Solider and Civil War and are starting some of them over from scratch. https://www.screengeek.net/2023/11/20/silver-surfer-woman-fantastic-four-marvel-mcu-rumor/

The ads on the mobile version of whatever that website is are the most intrusive I have ever seen and makes the content literally unreadable.

Making Silver Surfer a woman seems like it's just for titillation. As in, hell yeah let's put up a [Barbie-fied] nude woman up on screen as a character!

Someone asked Iman Vellani about The Marvels' box office and her future in the MCU and she managed to give a great answer that somehow involved Steven King. - She also confirms that the song and dance scene was significantly longer, but was trimmed down. - There was a scene with Valkyrie where they explicitly say that she and Captain Marvel used to date that was cut down. - There was an actual extended final fight scene in space that was cut and Ms. Marvel got a new suit on the singing planet that was a space suit that she used to join the final fight. quote:When you're battling alien warriors in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's helpful to have an all-powerful Avenger like Captain Marvel by your side. But when your opponents are real-world internet trolls, there's no better ally than Stephen King. https://twitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1726052778970120343

Yeah the movie did really feel like a lot of it got cut. There was clearly more there that they felt could get thrown out to just move things along.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Was the original Silver Surfer design just an excuse to get a nude guy to hang brain for an audience? Originally Surfer had a briefs look, likely because of the Comics Code. Not sure which artist first made the change to Surfer being a Ken doll. And yes, the eventual movie went with that look as well but I'm talking about changing him to a woman and the reason for that change.

I don't really like the argument that any depiction of a woman's body must inherently be for titillation, let alone one that is explicitly and inherently sexless.

Fantastic Four set to start filming on January 15th, 2024 in London. Seems to imply that they have all their casting done. I assume that it will probably line up pretty closely with the huge flurry of leaks from last week.

Didn't say "must" but I'm being cynical about Hollywood here. We don't have to have scenes of Invisible Woman having accidental naked hijinks but for some reason when Jessica Alba was in the role, that's what we got.

twistedmentat posted:I wouldn't be surprised if that was due to complaints the movies had gotten to long, which honestly, they did. There’s also the fact that when Carol reveals that the villain was right and she did cause the problems the Kree are suffering from when she decided to destroy the Supreme Intelligence, there isn’t a huge reaction from Kamala. It should be a bigger deal that she did something that bad. We also don’t go back to the water planet so I don’t believe we get any indication of whether or not they are also hosed by having the water stolen. I would just have liked more of that instead of rushing very quickly to an ending.

FlamingLiberal posted:Yeah and I get that, but there’s a lot of things missing in the story that just gets glossed over A big moment in the movie is Carol confessing that she went into self-imposed exile for twenty years because of what she did. And the 300-year-old SABER guy said they put the water planet back together.
