So because you condemned an very big insult by the forum idiot you have the right to put your taste above the taste of others and treat people like they don't matter. And that you call an opinion? You are allowed to dislike everything I like. But don't say that my taste is less valuable than yours. That is pretentious. Nothing less, nothing more.

How quickly kind words change when opinions differ. Oh, well, moving on. That's typical of MCU fans. They attack everyone who says anything even remotely negative about MCU.
About 3 and 1/2 years ago, someone wrote a post saying that Scarlett Johannson was over-rated and wasn't hot. I replied to that post agreeing with that person's opinion that Scarlett Johansson is over-rated and isn't hot. One MCU fan got so mad at me for agreeing that Scarlett Johansson is over-rated and isn't hot, that he started monitoring my posting history and followed me around the many different message boards that I posted on and replied to my posts (even posts that had nothing to do with CBMs) and attacked me.
During the summer, I went on vacation for a couple of weeks and didn't have Internet access to write any posts. During those 2 weeks, that MCU fan posted several threads asking where I was and why I wasn't posting anymore. When I came back from vacation and started posting again, that MCU fan resumed replying to all my posts and attacking me, until Wonder Woman was released and became the #1 movie this summer and #2 movie this year (behind only Beauty and the Beast). Like most MCU fans, he couldn't handle another CBM studio having success and making a movie that's better than every MCU movie, so he finally tapped out and left the message boards.

Wonder Woman - 820 million Spider-Man: Homecoming - 875 million haha, no. It's only domestic box office that's important. Studios don't give a shit about foreign box office because they keep very little of that.
It's like when people are asked who has the most hits in baseball history. Most people will say Pete Rose, but some people might say "Well, if you count hits in Japan, then Ichiro actually has more hits than Rose." Then other people might say "What about minor league hits?"
Nobody gives a shit about hits in Japan or the minor leagues. Only hits in the major leagues are important. Likewise, nobody gives a shit how many yards Warren Moon threw for in the Canadian Football League. Only yard thrown for in the NFL are important.
And likewise, studios don't give a shit about foreign box office because they keep very little of that. Only domestic box office is important, and Wonder Woman is the #1 movie this summer and #2 movie this year so far (behind only Beauty and the Beast).

Whenever studios like Sony, WB, and Fox hires directors to direct their comic book movies, they hire actual talent in the business with very good resumes. Sam Raimi directed the Evil Dead saga before directing the Spider-Man trilogy, Bryan Singer directed The Usual Suspects before directing X-Men, Christopher Nolan directed Memento before directing The Dark Knight trilogy, Zack Snyder directed Watchmen and 300 before directing Man of Steel, and Patty Jenkins directing Monster before directing Wonder Woman, and that won an Oscar. Then we have Disney, who just throws their arms and hire directors with no talent or creativity. Including big name talents like: Russo Bros - the directors of You, Me, and Dupree James Gunn - the guy who wrote Scooby-Doo 1 and 2 and wrote and directed Movie 43, which is one of the worst movies ever made Peyton Reed - the guy who directed Yes Man and The Break-Up Scott Derrickson - the guy who directed the 2008 remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still and Sinister Does Kevin Feige just look at their resumes and look at all the shit they directed or wrote and go "You're hired! Welcome aboard! You'll fit right in, where we also make pieces of shit!" You forget that The Russos were directors for Arrested Development and Community, two highly acclaimed cult favorite sitcoms. James Gunn wrote/directed Slither, Super, and wrote the remake of Dawn of the Dead. Peyton Reed directed the underrated Down with Love and episodes for Mr. Show with Bob and David, New Girl, and The Weird Al Show. The remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still was a dud not because of Derrickson but because of then head honcho at Fox Tom Rothman, Exorcism of Emily Rose and the first Sinister were solid horror movies.

Nobody gives a shit about hits in Japan or the minor leagues. Only hits in the major leagues are important. Likewise, nobody gives a shit how many yards Warren Moon threw for in the Canadian Football League. Only yard thrown for in the NFL are important.

Um, no. Today worldwide gross matters more to studios, that's why they have tried they're hardest to appeal to international audiences with recent major tentpole releases in the last couple years - why else do you think the last act of Transformers 4, for example, was set in China and featured cameos of people who are celebrities over there? Celebrities who specifically had appeal there but not so much elsewhere? Like for instance the guy in the elevator who Stanley Tucci meets with who takes out the government agents on his tail? For a lot of people here in the U.S. they felt really confused how some random guy was such a bad-ass fighter and would come to the aid of Tucci's character, it all came off as being pretty silly. For the folks in China however the reaction was very different because that random guy is a very well-known athlete in their country, so what translated as "WTF" for a lot of us here was "awesome" for a lot of them in China. Get what I'm saying? And please, stop with the sports analogies, the sports industry and the entertainment industry ARE. NOT. THE. SAME.

Nobody gives a shit about American Sports actually outside the US. Its only football that really matters. You know the biggest sport in the world? And when it comes to Football nobody takes the US seriously. So there you go. You live in your plastic bubble and havent got a clue about the outside world. WW isnt the no.1 movie this summer. It just isnt.
