>And that's a GOOD thing

Almost like 10 years of nonstop capeshit has made it more popular

Inflation

>Almost like 10 years
TDK was 2008. It's closing in on 11.

And it's still a shit movie showcasing how mass audiences have turned into literal retards. So what?

Also this It literally had more than 20 movies leading up to it. It's no surprise that people will flock to see it if it hits the theaters right before the main event. This would have made less than Ant-Man 2 if it weren't released a month before Endgame and Disney didn't find it necessary to hype it up and buy off tickets because of the Fox merger

"Here's why that matters"

I get they're trying to talk to mouthbreathers who like capeshit, but the fact you need to say that implies the article on its own doesn't have enough cohesive arguments.

He was talking about Iron Man 1 but 2008 is still right

I always wonder if it was actually Heath Ledger's death that killed the DCU. Think about it, it makes perfect sense.

Nolan's trilogy was a popular re-imagining of the mythos that was grounded in reality, had pedigree actors and and was critically well received. It was their Ironman. But the charismatic actor of the lead villain of Batman died. He could not be replaced by anyone. The whole IP had to be rebooted.

It's like as if RDJ died after Ironman.

Although it's actually wrong because Batman Begins was 2005.

TDK wasn't even released in China

tpbp

If they were smart maybe they would have had Nolan reboot the IP instead of giving it to some hack moron who couldn't film his way out of a paper bag and who decided the best "first" Batman movie was a movie about him fighting fucking Superman.

Inflation, you dumb nigger.

Well yeah ther's also that. I'd have kept it going and just ignored the Joker until I found a perfect actor to replace Ledger but only when the popularity is at an all time high and the audience is mellow enough to accept it.

Wasn't Nolan unwilling to keep it going though? I remember reading something like that but I may be wrong. I also heared Bale was apparently a pain to work with.

They can't possibly believe Captain Marvel is more popular than The Dark Knight

It’s subliminal, like saying “and that’s a good thing”. It lets brainlets know what opinion to form before they even read the article, then as they read each point they can nod to themselves and think “wow you’re right that IS a good thing!” without wondering why any of it actually matters.

No it hasn't. Domestic wise it's not even that great. It's pretty much carried by foreign markets

Americans are such fucking creatures

DCucks on suicide watch

Nolan didn’t want to connect his trilogy with other films, there was no Superman in his “universe”. He wanted his super realistic and totally-could-happen-irl Batman stories to be a serious affair. So while Marvel was using easter eggs to hint at Avengers before even having a Thor script ready, DC was waiting for Nolan to wrap up before trying a “cinematic universe” thing.

General audiences are trained like Pavlov's dog. You see the same clickbait titles everywhere because it's unconditional reflexes. People now click it without knowing why anymore.

Well I mean, any recognizable real life product in a movie absolutely is product placement. If there are real life cars in those movies, they definitely got money from that car company.

Mmm, thank you Daddy Media *noms* yum yum more please Daddy baby’s hungry teehee

I'm just saying it's a bit too blatant to be subliminal. If it was any more blatant, the headline would be "watch Captain Marvel you dumb fucks".

from CBR the writers of over 50 articles on Captain Marvel alone including classics such as:
>Sorry, Thanos, Captain Marvel Gives Us the MCU's Best Villain So Far
And
>A Gay Captain Marvel Could Be The MCU's Biggest Statement on Diversity

>being so focused on your dumb joke that you missed an opportunity to make fun of it saying "Fiction consumer of fiction"
Americans are so fucking stupid.

isn't that what this board about?

Subliminal doesn’t mean what you think it means. Any stimulus that affects the mind without the subject being aware is subliminal. The subject can be totally aware of the stimulus as well as its effect, but if they don’t associate the stimulus with the effect it’s subliminal. It’s not brainwashing or anything, but putting the opinion you want the reader to walk away with directly in the headline of the article makes them more receptive and gives each point you make greater weight since they’re already thinking about why “that’s a good thing”.

>A Gay Captain Marvel Could Be The MCU's Biggest Statement on Diversity
Isn't she gay or at least bi in the comics?

You would believe so if your only experience with this board was reading its name.

Oh.. ohhhh wow... I didn’t even notice his grammar was wrong... ha ha ha oh my... oh my oh my... that’s truly the most humorous thing.. well pointed out, fellow genius, bazinga!

>Finished writing a first draft
That’s not a big accomplishment unless your draft actually becomes something worth reading. Novelists usually write like 6 or more drafts before the publisher actually gives a fuck.

I haven't heard of her being gay. I thought they would usually dodge her sexuality because of what happened during her early years, where she basically got raped by a villian.

peak sòy. any cuck with a cartoon avatar of themselves has reached their final form

it's truly deserving, it is a better movie after all.

Calm down, Mohammed.

How did you know I was British

i remember nolan saying in interviews back then that he had this huge story arc he wanted tell and bring the joker back in a 4th and final movie. he talked about how the joker wouldn't be in the 3rd movie but there would be mention of him in arkham and the influence he was having in there that would spill over into part 4. then ledger died, and nolan just seemed like he wanted to get the series over with and move on to other things

I could smell your teeth from here.

i did that once! and it was even with another person!

Does anyone still honestly believe Disney isn't fudging the numbers here? An Ant-man tier movie doesn't make this kind of money.

This is why whenever someone says the movie made $500,000,000 or whatever I don’t even care. That only means like six people saw the movie. It costs an arm and a leg to see a movie now.

I have absolutely no proof whatsoever and I am running the risk of getting called an incel here, but I genuinely believe Disney is lying about the numbers here. Their entire future of the Marvel movies depend on her movie doing well.

>Does anyone still honestly believe Disney isn't fudging the numbers here?
You're just retarded my dude.
> An Ant-man tier movie doesn't make this kind of money.
It was given a lay up by one of the most popular movies in pop culture history. It was autistic of anyone to disagree with the projection that it'd make a billion.

why though, why did they rest it all on her shoulders, I mean she's fucking terriblely miscast, not that I give a fuck, i'm done with the MCU after this, I'm not going to bother even seeing the movie until I can get a rip, fuck the mouse.

It's not even the highest grossing heroine capeshit domestically

Cope harder

>disney has made another billion dollars with soulless bubblegum for the eyes - and that’s a good thing

Me on the right

Them committing fraud doesn't make the "movie do well." And the movie was pretty good. It made so much money because it had great word of mouth and audience anticipation outside of faggy sjw-right circlejerks.

The only reason any of you have a hard time fathoming that it made money is that you spent fucking months before it came out spiraling out into a cult of outrage about it and fucking constantly telling yourselves it'd bomb. "Get woke go broke" and shit. It made pretty much exactly what everyone was projecting it'd do.

And this idea that "their entire future" depends on this one movie making a billion is just silly conspiratorial nonsense to try and meme up some kind of motive.

It matters because it reminds people TDK made a billion in 2008 and without a China release. People need to understand TDK is proof this genre can be elevated even if Marvel doesn't give a fuck anymore

marvel comics just paid jonathan hickman a boat load of money to return to marvel and write x-men comics. he's the first major talented big name writer since grant morrison to carry those books. they've been languishing mediocrity now for most of the 2000's due to the huge avenger push related to the movies. it's a pretty strong possibility that this captain marvel led mcu will just be filler while they rebuild the x-men brand, and prep them for the movies. and if it fails, expect to see x-men a lot sooner than the 5 year time frame they originally set for their mcu debut

To be fair CM was released between infinity war and endgame when the MCU hype train is in full swing
Where a lot of people would want to see the film to not miss anything for endgame since she’s going to be in it
I would also say they were likely very desperate for the character herself to look good as they clearly want her to be the MCU’s Wonder Woman and everyone hyping up her film as the next big feminist thing. Especially if they are also going to push her character as one of the new central key characters of the MCU after endgame

I don't know. Arrogance?
>you spent fucking months before it came out spiraling out into a cult of outrage about it and fucking constantly telling yourselves it'd bomb
I did absolutely no such thing. I gave a reasonable and level-headed opinion and even said I have no proof of it. You're projecting here.

TDK came out in China, retard. That's why Nolan has the Chinese mob banker subplot in it, to pander to them. kys

boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&id=darkknight.htm

It performed really great in my country. Far more than even Civil War. Only The Avengers movies outstripped it

nah, definitely a power bottom

I don't know a lot about comic books, but didn't they try to replace X-Men with the Inhumans and then pitted them together with the X-Men coming back on top after starting the buyout?
I mean, I'm sure Disney absolutely wants a high ROI on all their IP, but placing all their bets on Captain Marvel seems like a very strange choice considering the comic has never sold well.

>I did absolutely no such thing.
whatever faggot I don't care about you personally. The people pushing the messaging strategy that you are parroting did.
>You're projecting here.
You're likely fucking lying right now. Were you just not on Yea Forums over the past 3 months?

hufflepuffs are stoners

Remember how the best version of her was a strong independent black woman who was personally invited to the Avengers amongst much praise and she was relegated to a wingman position as an Easter egg to a white woman who complained about white people?

adjusted to inflation?

I'm an opiate addict myself so I'd probably be in that house.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BUT I SAW TEN PICTURES OF EMPTY MOVIE THEATERS, HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?!

I complain about white people constantly. Nobody believes more destructive retarded bullshit right now than white people. White people are the reason I'm tens of thousands of dollars in debt from medical bills. White people are the reason I'm hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt from going to college. White people are giving trillions of dollars away to corporations and destroying the planet for fossil fuel companies.

I am absolutely embarrassed of "white people" every fucking day. If I could Thanos snap every fucking """white""" conservative christian nigger in my country I would do it without hesitation. It'd solve literally all of the problems that have doomed the west to collapse in our lifetime.

extremely low quality

Attached: anime you.png (448x468, 297K)

yes they did, they tried to make the inhumans their version of x-men since they didn't have movie rights. it was massively unpopular and really insulting to the history of the x-men franchise. there was a time when all marvel had to do was put an x in the title of a book, no matter how stupid it was, and it would sell millions of copies every month. the x-men were the biggest thing in comics for 25 years with no sign of slowing down until marvel got greedy with the movie money. gradually the x books quality dropped and dropped. every time they would get a creative team on the x-men that would start doing something that would grab people's attention, they would move those guys to an avengers or inhumans book. it was pretty gross how marvel treated the x-men while fox had the movie rights

it was a lot more than that kid, and those pics were taken while the movie was playing on it's opening weekend

i special screening of it hosted by a local radio station where they were giving away free tickets. all you had to do was show up to the theater. wasn't even half full. last time i went to one of those free radio station screenings it was for the last resident evil movie and the theater was packed.

white people are literally the only people hurting your life

Earnings don't matter. Memes matter. Captain Marvel has no memorable memes.

Disney just dropped 70 billion on Fox using the very same currency of stocks and box office numbers to convince them that they were done whereas Disney was on the rise. This was done as icing on the cake for the fox deal. What’s another billion to make you look better and convince fox there’s no point in resistance? Disney would definitely invest in monopoly, and they have. People denying this are the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet. For you to not realize by now that Hollywood is a corrupt lie in every conceivable way, you haven’t been paying attention.

I'm very excited for Disney to fuck up the X-Men way more than Fox ever did. There were some good and bad capeshit X-Men movies from Fox, but Disney is going to completely butcher them.
That's incorrect.

CM BO figures are a reflection of Disney's marketing budget. Coming on here to parrot a reddit talking point (incel) not only points you out as a discord tranny shill, but undermines your argument in the process. The The movie was shit.

I would say Capeshit movies started around 2000 with the X-Men series, followed by the Raimi Spider-Man movies.

Before that, you basically had Batman, Superman, and more generally superheroes like Blade who don't require the unlimited potential of CGI effects.

do you not think it's weird how you all just started endlessly shrieking "discord tranny" at the same time?

Or is it like just one psychotic virgin that struggles with English? Why is it always "discord tranny?" Why not mix it up sometimes?

I bet it will get less than 500k in the sequel when there's no Avenger movie propping it up

what even is discord? Why are virgins shrieking about discord trannies all the time? Is this some autistic zoomer meme?
