Eh, actually when you adjust for inflation the first Superman/Batman/Spider-Man movies still did more.

Eh, actually when you adjust for inflation the first Superman/Batman/Spider-Man movies still did more. Read the article, dude. It already mentions that adjusted for inflation, Spider-Man did make more, but however much inflation adjustment favors Spider-Man, it enjoyed a stronger position in the marketplace due to external factors (exchange rate for dollars, length of a film’s theatrical run and rereleases, the amount of competition in the marketplace from pictures with similar target demographics, amount of home entertainment competition compared to theatrical draw, competition from the Internet and streaming services, vast global piracy of movies nowadays, the particular role of a given film in the historic context for its genre and its own franchise, number of foreign screens and domestic screens) that could have and probably would have mitigate at least some of the inflation adjustment. It's highly debatable, but Wonder Woman earns it, considering the last DCEU movie it's coming off from. |

Congrats to them both and finally that record has been earned, you know despite it being claimed for atleast 2 months now, but in all fairness is anyone surprised? I mean it's clear DC/WB wanted it to get that record, hence why despite being predicted to earn the crown for months now, with it each week being predicted it could likely do so this weekend then didn't, that in the end after 5 1/2 months WW has finally snagged the accolade.
It's like when a film gets to like $990m you know the studios will push for it to stay in theatres so it can break the $1b mark, so not surprised by it, amused at how long it took, but chuffed for the films success, also glad this is actually going to be a factual statement at last.
The king is dead...long live the queen...or you know princess in this case.

Awesome news. I am looking forward to seeing 'Wonder Woman 2', 'Fathom', 'Captain Marvel', 'Painkiller Jane', 'Avegeleyne', 'Strangers In Paradise', 'Sheena: Queen of the Jungle', 'Nonplayer', 'The Pro' and most of all, Batgirl and Razor!! It is a great time to be a fan of female lead comic book series with so many on the way and I also can't wait to see the TV series of 'Nancy In Hell' which has been filmed here in Australia.

Worldwide its Spiderman: Homecoming, though not a true Origin We're talking about origin movies here. Not only is SMH not an origin movie but SMH is too ashamed to even honor Spider-Man's comic origins. In SMH, instead of being a superhero because Peter he had a "great responsibility" (as he learned from not stopping the thief who would kill Uncle Ben), Peter's entire motivation for being a "hero" in SMH is to show-off and try to impress Tony Stark. That's an immature and shallow reason to be a superhero and that completely betrays Spider-Man's comic origins and betrays the character of Spider-Man. |

That's an immature and shallow reason to be a superhero and that completely betrays Spider-Man's comic origins and betrays the character of Spider-Man. You clearly didn't understand the film. Not surprising from the likes of you. Everything goes over your head with Marvel. You don't even attempt to try to understand it. But maybe if you actually paid attention, you'd realize he was trying to impress Tony Stark for a reason. He fills in for the father-figure since Peter lost his uncle. So he looks up to Tony and wants his approval and for him to be proud. That's the lesson. And it was already established in Civil War that he's Spider-Man because he wants to look out for the little person. scabab See, this is the exact reason why I call him out on his bullshit. He could have ended his post with "SMH not an origin movie". I made a thread commending Wonder Woman, a DCEU film no less, but no, he has to go on about why he doesn't like Spider-Man then tries to turn it into facts to discount it because it's an MCU product. This is why he deserves to be called out on his shit. This is why he deserves to be banned. I'll continue to call him out on his bullshit until he shapes up. |

Wow! So you MCU fans are against any opinions that don't put MCU on a pedestal and you MCU fans want to ban opposing opinions, which is why weirdraptor wants to ban all DC fans from these forums. |

I normally remain neutral but I have to agree with DC-Fan. The last string of marvel films have been garbage. Makes me nervous to see Black Panther.

Well he is right, what you said really had absolutely nothing at all to do with what was said. Darkpast said that Spider-man Homecoming was the highest grossing worldwide though not a true origin, I see where here's coming from. For some reason though you then told him how shit you think the movie is. What does Spider-man showing off for Iron Man in the movie have to do with how much money it made at the box office and whether it's an origin movie or not? |

Well he is right So seahawksraawk00 calls me "a fuckin' moron" for about the 30th time and you say he's right? So your rules about keeping this board civil doesn't apply to MCU fans? What does Spider-man showing off for Iron Man in the movie have to do with how much money it made at the box office and whether it's an origin movie or not? This thread is about the highest-grossing superhero origin film of all time. SMH isn't a superhero origin film so what does SMH and how much money SMH have to do with this thread about the highest-grossing superhero origin film of all time? Nothing at all. But someone brought up SMH and how much money SMH made at the box office, to in an attempt to discredit Wonder Woman becoming the highest-grossing superhero origin film of all time. So I just responded to that post (and not to seahawksraawk00) with my opinion of SMH? Are opinions that don't put MCU on a pedestal banned from these forums? |

So if someone else brings up SMH and how much money SMH made at the box office, am I not allowed to write about my opinion of SMH? Are opinions that don't put MCU on a pedestal banned from these forums? No but the quality of SMH had nothing to do with this you just decided to shit on it because you are a pleb.
SMH & WW are very similar in the sense that both are films of single heroes who were introduced into the continuity in a separate film in which their inclusion garnered great reaction, both show the heroes in their early goings on, Spidey in the film hasn't fully realised his purpose or goals, so whilst SMH isn't really a true origin film it is one atleast partially, but also what is an origin film really, what males WW an origin and not SMH, why does X-Men have 4 separate origin films in their continuity? is it simply because Spidey calls himself Spidey already, because we don't see him get his powers, but then we don't see Diana getting hers she's born with them, if it's just Diana learning of her place in the world and becoming the hero she is destined to be then SMH is the same thing, hence the true origin part of the initial post you responded to so you could shit on SMH.
Had you stuck to saying SMH isn't a real origin film then nothing is wrong but you just had to shit talk it, hence the he's not wrong because what was being pointed out and commented on is your need to shit talk MCU properties, you would seemingly had the battle won with saying SMH isn't an origin film, or atleast its not a true superhero origin film, technically it is a supervillain origin film and can be classed as a true origin film in some sense, and debated over it being a superhero origin film.
scabab simply pointed out that you did instigate things which is true, I don't always agree with scabab's pov in these matters, as I feel he does tend to gloss over the more marvel leaning fans behaviour at times, but in this he is right you started it, and so imo because you started a fight you don't get to cry about getting hit, so man up.

Spider-man Homecoming did make more money than Wonder Woman and it was that version of Spider-man's first movie. Of course it wasn't the overall first movie which is why he said it wasn't a "true origin" movie, which it isn't. He wasn't really even discrediting Wonder Woman. Either way you could have just explained to him why it wasn't an origin movie. The quality of the movie itself is completely irrelevant to how much it made. |
