They should just make Star Wars travel through a wormhole and end up in 2024 Los Angeles for at least one movie or tv season.

Disney makes a movie like ET, except the plot is that pair of droids crash on Earth in the early 70s and are found by George Lucas and he has to live with them and learn from them and keep them safe. The final scene of the film is him having filmed Star Wars based from the information they told him and watching the rough cut of the movie with the robots in a dark theater, where they are making fun of the movie for being inaccurate to the real story of the Star Wars. In the back of the theater, a janitor named Joel is watching this go on and gets an idea of his own.

George H.W. oval office posted:The play after end game was to do X-men but they didn’t have them so what are ya gonna do Deadpool 3 will bring X-Men into the MCU, so maybe they will. What was even the last X-Men film? I know there was alleast 2 that bombed so hard they might as well not have existed. I can see audiences being in the mood again.

it's really funny that by the time of the 20th century fox acquisition marvel had pretty much spent an entire decade doing their best to bury the x-men as a brand because 20th century fox had the movie rights. whoops if you think of like 1992-2008, xmen were like ninja turtles big. there were x-men cartoons, video games, toys, action figures, trading cards, t-shirts, shoes, backpacks, ice cream bars, halloween costumes, underpants comparable to spider-man in terms of just being way bigger than their own comics (but even so, if you walked into a comic store in 1998, like half the shelves would be x-men comics) then alllll that went away we're trying to build a cinematic universe here and this goddamn dinosaur of a franchise from the year 2000 with their leather jumpsuit bullshit is still trying to make movies, playing keepaway with our most popular characters. well gently caress 'em! a bunch of important x-men characters are now no longer mutants. no more cartoons, either. the one that's currently going, cancelled after one season. gently caress em. no more x-men in the marvel vs capcom games, no more trading cards, no more ice cream, no more underpants and it worked! the x-men are now less popular than ever  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzuRruVFKVw

Hickman wrote a brilliant X-Men trade in 2019, it spawned a dozen new mutant lines, X-Men were back! and then Covid (and too much haste/greed) turned everything to poo poo again

dreezy posted:is it a cold take to think the avengers infinity saga was majorly carried by rdj’s sheer unbridled charisma? maybe not carried per se, but his tony stark was the glue that held a lot of in retrospect mediocre crossover movies together at least until infinity war when the thanos plot actually elevated things. where do you go after endgame with the load blown and no tony stark? obviously you dont go the route they did end up going and you could argue there was never any way for them to do it again, but for fucks sake at least try to fill the charisma vacuum It's a factor but it's not the only one. There's also: 1) There are only so many superhero origin stories, and the origin story really kind of makes the character. It's really hard to get us excited about a new one at this point. But it's also hard to get us excited about the old ones. 2) There's a reason long-running series are usually TV shows, not movies. You can easily mix small fun character stories with big world-ending ones and it keeps it from being the same exact thing over and over. 3) Movie sequels are notorious for being worse than the original because the first one usually tells all the important story there is to tell, and the sequels just repeat it. Now take that and basically extrapolate it to an entire franchise. On balance Marvel has a pretty decent batting average with their sequels compared to others, but there's only so much you can do.

Hackers film 1995 posted:wtf! the reviews are in for madame webb and they are bad! wtf! sony? wtf lol these are the positive reviews on rt: "Madame Web does its best to not be another Catwoman." 6/10 "Audiences are now left with clunky, earnest, and weirdly charming oddities like S.J. Clarkson's "Madame Web." " 6/10 "A clunky, goofy, mess. However, there’s an ultimate joy in this ham-fisted adventure. Unintentionally hilarious dialog, corny villain, cringeworthy moments, lazy Easter eggs, a superb ensemble of cheesy performances lead to an ironically enjoyable romp." 3/5 "For better or for worse, Madame Web further illustrates that Sony's Spider-Man Universe has potential when not trying to be a modern cinematic universe at all, and instead being a springboard for the most niche genre stories imaginable." 2.5/5

It isn’t in the movie!

You joke, but I'm reminded of the most audacious example of this type of thing:  See that Guardian review between their heads? Did you assume it was a four-star review based on the layout? They actually tucked a two-star review in there to pad out the poster.

The problem with rotten tomatoes has always been that “ehhhhh it’s fine I guess” is a plus, whereas “this is a wild, crazy, unique mess” is a miss. So it aggregates a thousand mildly positive reviews as a great score, but really good, interesting movies always come in with mixed reviews. It’s like the entire rating system was designed to elevate marvel movies

Rotten Tomatoes scores are ill-suited to this era where pretty much anything that makes it to theaters is at least boringly competent.Crescent Wrench posted:You joke, but I'm reminded of the most audacious example of this type of thing: IIRC the Guardian eventually either reported on this or was asked about it and they were just kinda like "drat, well played"

The problem with Rotten Tomatoes is that most people don't understand the scoring system. They think it's Metacritic.
