Marvel Cinematic Universe

Huh, I guess I spend no time thinking about Mark Ruffalo to notice his bad acting, but you're right. His performance has been terrible the entire time and understudies generally aren't that bad or mumbly. I guess I tend to notice the bad writing around Hulk and how he no longer channels the nerd rage character.

Whomever at universal is responsible for holding the rights ot the incredible hulk movie and thus sparing mankind from a mark ruffalo lead solo hulk film deserves the nobel peace prize

no man has done more to safeguard humanity
 
Do these people even WANT their movies to be successful?!

Yeah, because it’s not like Captain AMERICA was an AMERICAN patriot who volunteered to become a super soldier by the AMERICAN government to protect the citizens of United States of AMERICA during World War II out of his honor, dignity, and integrity, or something crazy like that.

Lemme guess, the AMERICAN guy now playing Captain AMERICA would also take offense to Superman’s dedication to defending “truth, justice, and the AMERICAN way,” because “AMERICA?”
Whatever happened to disliking aspects of your country or culture, but wanting them get better, or acknowledging the good parts of it? Because I highly doubt Anthony Mackie would have the career or fuck you money he has now in even the British movie industry.

10 years ago I would have considered this Disney pandering to Chinese audiences. But no one outside America is going to watch Cap 4.
 
Can say as a Britbong the advertising for Stunning and Brave is non-existent. I have not seen it on buses in the city or anything, they are trying to skimp on the marketing to try and recoup but this film probably cost 500 mil. They need to make about 1.2 billion to break even, they ain't doing shit. This year is going to be so bad for them I think F4 is going to bomb so hard, they will do ads teasing RDJ's life support role but the audience learned their lesson and I think a large majority is done.

They did this to themselves though.
 
Red Hulk rumored to only be in Brave New World for only 4 minutes
Can only imagine that the people who still actually care about this shit movie will not be pleased.

More interesting to me is the blatantly bullshit rumors that it didn't cost as much as previously reported, and that it actually came in cheaper than other recent Marvel entries. They're currently claiming, despite months of extensive re-shoots, that it actually only cost $180mil, which is half the previously rumored amount and significantly less than basically every other recent MCU film.
Disney does this shit all the fucking time. Remember when Multiverse of Madness was originally reported to cost only $200 million, and now they admitted that it cost more than fucking Endgame, making it one of the most expensive movies of all time? Or The Force Awakens, that had a $200 million budget originally, and now the tally's up to over $440 million. This $180 million number is complete and utter horseshit, and anyone who believes it for a second is a retard.
 
Is this legit and not quoted out of context? I like Mackie and he seems like a decent fellow.

He wanted to say make America great again or some kind of Trump line in the TV series but they wouldn't let him. If he's got brain rot that sucks.
Feels targeted to foreign audiences and they want those precious China bucks. Not sure why though, since don't the Chinese love American slop?

They do and they are smart enough to understand that a character called Captain America is gonna defend American values. It's their government the that hates that.

Alas, the best way to cater to their market is to bring a Chinese character that's cool. Jubilee comes to mind.
 
Wasn’t China where they removed Finn from the Star Wars poster because the red country no likey the blacks?

Given the budget for Black Captain Falcon America... (No Marvel I don't believe its 180m, maybe for the reshoots alone)...

I think based on all the estimates it needs over 1.2B? This film is fucked, If Feige had any sense it would be a tax right-off and not the absolute disaster it looks its gonna be.

And the fact you are making me cheer for the Red Hulk to make him a smear on the wall is not a good thing.
 
i personally was for the idea of making Magneto a Rawanda genocide victim, plus having Xavier both be africans and combining that with the Wakanda backstory of not lifting a finger to help others would have been really interesting. Plus the original story about Magneto being a survivor came out about 30-40 years after the end of the conflict so it does match up with the african genocide too and unlike the holohoax, society literally sitting on their hands and letting it happen would motivate someone like Magneto more.

its clear the intentions was for Black Panther and Wakanda to be a major centerpiece of the MCU and that had to be abandoned.


but all that discussion was a decade ago when they announced that disney was buying the xmen. Now everyone knows the ZOG will be in power for at least the next 20 years and its all moot at this point.
The only Blackwashing I can accept, lol. Making a Jew character Black. But then again they did propose Giancarlo Esposito in playing this role so who knows, might have been good since this was pitched around 2009.
