I’m undecided if I want the movie to do poorly so that Archie Stanton and formersamhmd freak out or if I want it to do well so that NormanClature freaks out. Such challenges! Such choices! Such agony, misery, woe, we face over dumb superhero movies! The only thing that would make me freak out is if you actually watched a superhero movie at the cinema?

Given all the early hype and BO predictions, anything under $800 million for this movie would be an underperformance. Anything over 500 million will be a gargantuan success, but I know a lot of people won't see it that way.
After the early predictions of $160 million plus, opening weekend domestic, you think $500 million worldwide total will be a "gargantuan success"??!!? Time to lay off those happy pills, bro.

Such agony, misery, woe, we face over dumb superhero movies! Either way... We get to see some entertaining meltdowns! Brilliant! We all knew this movie would lead to great things! _________________________ Scenario 1: the movie is incredibly boring and pandering, and it’s all dark and gritty and looks like Man of Steel. Audiences fall asleep during screenings. Brie Larson freaks out and says everyone who doesn’t like it is racist, sexist, homophobic, etc., which only alienates audiences more. ArArArchStanton: Formersamhmd (who just pops up on KW for three seconds to post this, in response to someone who didn’t like it): _________________________ Scenario 2: the movie is celebrated as one of the greatest comic book movies ever made. Everyone (of all political slants, ahem, ahem) loves it. It’s charming, witty, and clever; it offers great action and story. It’s so good that cities decide to hold parades in Captain Marvel’s honor—heck, it’s so good that Trump takes to Twitter and says he loves it (yeah, right, Salzmank). NormanClature: ^^^This post is, of course, “liked” by DC-Fan. Expecting some kind of sarcastic reply from Norman any minute now.

Let’s make my joking-around fair.
Here’s Salzmank’s reaction to the movie:

Some may misinterpret what she says. I think she’s guilty of virtue signalling and it isn’t flattering.

Anything over 500 million will be a gargantuan success, but I know a lot of people won't see it that way. Thats because this is a daft statement, CM has a budget of $150+m, a advertising budget easily over $100m also, putting the cost at around $250m minimum, movies at best get 50% of the money spent on a ticket, so $500m would be the break even point, Antman & The Wasp made over $600m and wasn't seen as a gargantuan success either.
If they spent as much advertising Antman & The Wasp on CM to promote it then the total cost would be over $300m meaning $600m would be the minimum for this to break even.

Ant Man and the Wasp could have made $0 and still be a success from being part of the mcu at this point.

Does anyone else find it funny that there are so many outrage videos on youtube of people desperately trying to sabotage Captain Marvel based on misinterpretations of what she said, yet the whole Liam Neeson was swept under the rug almost immediately? By the way, I love Liam Neeson and hope all his future movies successful. I think the thing is with Neeson he was admitting to what he even states were ignorant or racist thoughts and reactions decades ago which he is now ashamed of and grown past, to the futher issue brought up later of Vigo with Greenbook he apologised specifically for saying something which offended people due to him not taking into account how offensive the word alone he said is to people, he admitted fault and apologised.
This seemingly didn't happen with Brie, a simple that is not what I meant, I should have been more clear I apologise, what I meant was...this doesn't insult people for getting the wrong idea, you take ownership of that miscommunication, but then also doesn't help her being like what backlash I don't even know is dismissive, atleast without a reason, like just say you know I have been so focused on the movie doing these press tours I don't have time to see what people are saying about me until I am asked about it, because it's not like someone like Brie can say I don't pay attention to the internet when she's active on twitter.
Some of the videos obviously are just bullshit bashing videos which no matter what she said would be made just because arseholes be arseholes, but a number of them aren't, at the end of the day how the situation was handled is what bred much of the ongoing discussion, you know the easiest way to get out a lecture from a parent or a boss for bad behaviour? don't try to defend yourself admit fault tell them they are right and promise to do better, cuts that shit down 80-90%, and by trying to make an excuse you can end up annoying them more and receiving a even worse punishment.

Ant Man and the Wasp could have made $0 and still be a success from being part of the mcu at this point. As an IP due to increased toy and merch sales maybe, well no not a $0 that's just fucking idiotic, but if the movie broke even maybe as an IP, but not a movie? no, they still need to make money, and being their first money loser in a decade isn't a success, especially not for the new face of the brand, or for being the lead in into Endgame where CM is meant to be the saviour of the film, all that hype added more pressure onto the film to succeed.
Most Olympians are a success if they can medal right? not Usain Bolt, if he doesn't win gold he failed because that is the expectation for him, I mean TASM & TASM 2 did over $700m a piece yet that run is considered a failure because it didn't reach the heights of the Rami films.

By the way, I love Liam Neeson and hope all his future movies successful. Food for thought: the same people who are melting down over Brie saying she wants more diversity in movie journalism are the same people who will tell you we should all forgive Mel Gibson for telling his girlfriend to get raped by a pack of nig**ers. You white liberals LOVE any excuse to shoehorn the N word in, huh? There is LITERALLY NO REASON to post that except it makes impotent little white libs feel street or some such racist bull shit. Amazing how you squeeze in the most racist word out there while you virtue signal. Perfect example of why I have so much contempt for white liberals.

Liam Neeson was referring to something he felt decades ago after a friend of his was raped. Brie Larson was speaking on a press tour for one of her current movies, but nice comparison though. What the fuck does time have to do with anything? He used the term "black bastard" in a RECENT INTERVIEW. If Brie Larson had said that, no one would give a fuck about context.

How would people have reacted if she had said - "I'm not interested in what 40 year old black dudes have to say about Schindler's List"?
