I checked out of this thread for a good long while, and somehow I'm amazed to see that this exceptional individual is still on the rehire janes gunn shittrain.

Except that James Gunn has been rehired, just not by Disney. And has Bob said anything about Idris Elba will be replacing Will Smith in the Suicide Squad sequel? Apparently Idris was Gunn's first choice for the role.

I hate to nitpick, but Gunn was not "rehired" by somebody. He just found a new job with a new employer.

Also, I love how Bob ultimately folded on his threats to boycott the MCU over James Gunn getting fired. This man spent months going on about the firing and how negatively this effected his love of the MCU. He literally went out of his way to chastise MCU fans who had forgotten about James Gunn as new excitement was being built for the next batch of Marvel movies.

And yet, he still folded and went crawling to the theaters to see Captain Marvel.

Of course he's gonna come crawling for Femenist MCU Movie that's totally the first cinema wamen and owns dudebros. If you're a good Male Feminist Ally™, you fellate the strap on

In Bob's defense he just thought it was a particularly hardboiled bratwurst.

Reading Bob's tweets about Captain Marvel, I get the feeling that his MCU stanning really peaked with Black Panther. With every movie in the franchise since then, even if he liked them, he didn't effusively praise them like he did the latter movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and Thor Ragnarok.

Gunn also apparently wants Dave Bautista for a role in it.

Let’s be honest. Whenever the MCU X-Men comes out, he’s going to praise it to the high heavens.

I'd watch Bautista as Bizzaro or Solomon Grundy. Not sure if they're normal Suicide Squad members but at this point, fuck it who cares.

Bob's stanning peaked with Black Panther because that was the last great hope for a woke super hero. Captain Marvel, just like Fembusters, Robin Hood, and every other woke film looked bad from the first trailer.

I think in general the public tired of capeshit after the last Avengers movie. I know that every critic has been talking about super hero fatigue since Antman, but before it felt like being out of the loop if you didn't see them in the first 2 weeks, now the people I know mostly see them when they appear on Netflix or DVD and their opinions have been "It's okay, nothing special.". Not even Bob can pretend to be hyped for the next super hero film, no matter how much he'd like to.

I feel Superhero fatigue will truly kick in after Avengers: Endgame and the new Spiderman movie since Avengers has been a cultural landmark for the past decade in films and Spiderman is the most beloved Superhero individually alongside Batman.


Though I do wonder what Bob will latch onto after Superhero fatigue truly kicks in when Superhero movies go the way of westerns

For me, I think it resembles that of when Deathly Hollows Part 2 was the peak of fantasy film and since then pure fantasy films have been overshadowed by sci-fi and superhero movies.

 

[MirrorNoir]

Another reason for fear of Endgame being the end of the super-hero film boom: that the way Star Wars was raped, gives people little hope for the X-Men under Disney being similarly raped. Same with Deadpool or Fantastic Four.

Also, Marvel's done badly by Hawkeye, Wanda, and other members of the West Coast Avengers (the obvious Avengers spin-off to lead the way in wave four) and no one gives a fuck about Eternals, while Ms Marvel is polarizing as hell and a Mr Fantastic rip-off to boot.

Slight correction about Ms Marvel which is a common misconception I always feel the need to correct, Kamala's powers aren't "stretchy girl". She is a shapeshifter but her creator thought it was "too powerful" of an ability so she just uses it to extend her limbs instead of full blown shapeshifting. Other writers have taken better advantage of it.

Everyone gets it wrong though.

I don't think capeshit's decline will be as abrupt or total as the disappearance of Westerns, and Bob has never really demonstrated an ability to move on from things, so I expect as his relevance further wanes he'll just keep talking about what few superhero films are made to an embarrassing degree, while also obsessing over whatever new thing Hollywood finds to get dat bugman money.

 

[Mr Snek]

Personally I think that after Avengers Endgame Disney will continue to make superhero movies, but they'll become less popular very quickly. People will still go to see them and Disney will just keeping making them with smaller and smaller budgets to reflect this. In about 10 years I reckon Disney superhero movies will be a sideline and everyone will move onto the next big thing.

Blob will continue to watch the new movies religiously of course, no matter how bad they get and he'll never give up his dreams of a #woke Disney movie winning an Oscar.

The fact that Bob even remembers any of these capeshit movies 24 hours later says he can't let anything go. Even the ones I've enjoyed, I can only remember vague snippets of without much detail. You have to be obsessed and basically do homework like reading wikis and outside materials to remember much about these movies.

Remember when you could watch a movie and all the information you needed to grok it was in the movie?

Jesus christ, he's so fucking close to self-awareness that I don't understand how he's not in physical gawddamn pain; his second tweet is DIRECTLY describing all the woke-anda bullshit that has been seeping into comics for the last few years, whether it's the feminist retread of Mockingbird cover with "Ask me about my feminist agenda", the Tumblr-esque Squirrel Girl reboot where she's a chubby body-positivity activist, or the Zoe Quinn bullshit project.

The amount of effort it has to take to be that willfully and intentionally delusional has to be why his caloric intake is so high; it's not possible to engage in those kinds of mental gymnastics on a normal, adult diet.

It makes more sense when you realise that Bob is incapable of noticing that he is often guilty of the same things that he admonishes others for. And even if he does, then that's different! He's Bob, not one of those inferior obsolete subhumans.

You assume that the production of films is still driven by some kind of authentic demand, and that the industry hasn't congealed into a few massive monopoly conglomerates that are almost immune to the normal mechanisms of markets. That they can't just create their own demand through advertising, paid Youtube video essays and Buzzfeed articles. How silly ?

There still has to be some kind of demand for these films in order for them to exist though. Disney is no longer going to invest a large nine figured sum into a film if it isn't going to bring back a great profit for them.

I understand what you're trying to argue, but superhero fatigue has been a legitimate thing for years now. The reason why the MCU has held on for as long as it has is mostly due to the Avengers. People just want to see the epic collusion to this big storyline that been built for over ten years.

Now that said storyline is on the eve of being completed, it's not that hard to imagine that we'll see a decline of films in the superhero genre. Especially since Disney seems to have no set plans for what the future of the MCU is post-Avengers.
