Damn, Eggers, go off!

Movie only had like 20 minutes of kino tops but even the action sequences seemed lazy and insulting. I should have greatly lowered my expectations.

how else is he supposed to compete with the marketing onslaught of comic book movies? the studio isn't going to give him $150mil for marketing and inviting 100s of critics and influencers to pre-screenings isn't going to reach anyone. fuck, they don't even play trailers for R rated movies in pg-13 showings. at best people are going to see a poster in the lobby of the theater on their way to the next pg-13 mega blockbuster. wonder what this movie is, maybe they heard of it, shrug their shoulders and forget about it.

>antithetical to Marvel
Lol no it's not, you hipster faggot.

>The Tree of Life
>Pig
>Memoria
These films are antithetical to Marvel

The Northman is an epic, action packed revenge film ffs.

>The Northman is an epic, action packed revenge film ffs
No it isn’t. See

More like The Flopman lol

Interesting

Still, I'd be shocked if I end up agreeing with his statement after watching it.

Boring boring and boring. You don't have to be a slog of a film just to be antithetical to marvel.

>Antithetical to marvel

I hate those capeshit movies as much as the next guy, but if your marketing is based on saying "we're not a marvel movie!", you've kinda gave up. That tells me absolutely nothing about what the movie is like. If I wanted to be sorta vague, I would've said "it's a unique experience." That leaves stuff up to interpretation and you don't compare yourself to the most recognizable brand in cinema right now. If you wanna compare, compare to your own movies, and similar movies. You don't hear Quentin Tarantino going "Yeah, if you really like those shitty disney movies, you're gonna hate my new movie!"

Do you know what antithetical means?

If he's talking about the fact that the "hero" in the film doesn't come out victorious in the end, fine. But to say the film, in it's entirety, is antithetical to Marvel seems like a bit of a stretch.

But I should probably watch the film before spouting off about it lol

seething

What do you mean you don't know what the northman is about? Haven't you seen the ads
>BLACK SCREEN
>"BEWARE"
>lots of blurry shots of people fighting or fucking or something

>Haven't you seen the ads

I have adblock and only watch hockey on tv, and I don't pay attention during half the game, so I don't see commercials, so no, I didn't see an ad for it.

lol

Ben Affleck has already predicted that everything that isn't Marvel will be out of cinemas in less than a year. Original films will be streamed, cinemas will be for franchises like Marvel/DC/Harry Potter.

>they don't even play trailers for R rated movies in pg-13 showings.
Yes they do

You're missing out. Don't forget the poster for..... Go see it in theaters April 22

Don't bother watching, it's garbage. The mother is revealed to be the mastermind behind killing his father because of some retarded slavery bullshit and he ends up killing his mother then dying himself while killing his uncle. 0/10 cuck fantasy with no happy ending.

I don't like historical movies, I'd rather watch Tromeo and Juliet or some movie about a girl who can't stop swallowing everything whole. "Grrr, I'm angry viking, I must kill the other angry viking" who fucking cares, your civilization collapsed over 9000 years ago.

I'm with you guys, desu. It's just clear the marketing team behind this movie fucking sucks. Vague advertising, posters with no title. We could go rounds about "who cares, so long as the movie is good" but noone is going to see this shit with an ad campaign this bad and the director now saying "yeah idk, it's out of my hands, fuck the studio"

This is the third time I've seen this post.

You should acquire some ointment for your butthurt, user.

What's it like being a literal NPC, with no concept of original thought?

Daily reminder the Northman's viral marketers on Yea Forums are in a PANIC. The film scored under 65 in test screenings which means the word of mouth won't be enough to carry the box office because most people want diversity in their films.

Chuds have been organizing and working with the studio to help the viral marketers shill this piece of shit meme film.

That's not even mentioning the director's message is anti-chud and against toxic masculinity which is beyond any chud's understanding

>RE: And then with this movie, I wasn’t like, “Now I’m going to write a movie about toxic masculinity.” But as I’ve said may times, nothing good happens when two men are trapped in a giant phallus. So obviously that’s what’s going to happen in [the lighthouse].

>AVC: It does seem very inevitable between them. So, you didn’t sit down and go, “I’m going to write a movie about toxic masculinity.” But at what point did you start to recognize that that’s what the story is about in some ways?

>RE: When my brother and I got all the way through [the script] the first time, we were like, “Yeah, that’s what’s going on.”

The marketers are SO desperate they are now recruiting Alfonso Cuaron to put out articles for the movie.

>directors close buddy sees movie
>"Hey alfonso, we're struggling with the test scores on our movie. we're under 65 which means bad word of mouth. I dont know what to do."
>next day
>DIRECTOR'S FRIEND: "MY BUDDIES MOVIE IS FUCKING AMAZING!"

It will be interesting to see what Eggers viral marketing team and their pack of chud jannies try next with their guaranteed meme trash flop.

I wonder if it's always the same journo asking every director on a press tour their opinion on capeshit. Certainly makes for some clickable headlines.

This is at least the sixth time you have posted this
Eggers is a faggot, so what?
Separate the art from the artist, you fucking child.

what's the appeal of viking seaniggers?
all they did was rob, rape and destroy all over Europe, no idea why hollywood insists on sucking those barbarians' cocks

It's been an effective way to get press for a couple of years now. Since, funnily enough, the Irishman. It's why I respect Jodorowsky, he was shitting on capeshit before it became a trendy marketing technique.

Around the time that Vikings show was about to first air they ran D for the viking mythos saying they invented math and bartering and actually their society was completely equal among men and women and they didn't Rob or rape at all! They wuz good guys, it was actually revisionism from those evil christians. And gay pagan LARPers like Varg bought into it and wouldn't ya fuckin know there's a brand new Vikings show coming out in 6 months what a fuckin coincidence I should tune in and watch that!

kek
where the fuck is the title

>Separate the art from the artist, you fucking child.
Only children do this ironically. An artist is in their art, inherently, fundamentally, accept this and stop seething that they don't subscribe to your politics. be glad you can share something with a person you hold differences with. This is what makes Harry Potter faggots screeching about Rowling so funny and pathetic.

Shut the fuck up ESL retard

>what's the appeal of viking seaniggers?
Cool mythology, good aesthetic, warrior culture, historically important in Europe, had wide ranging influence on later major European cultures. Also you're a seething Irishman I'd bet.

there is no appeal, only amerimutts we wuzzing as "muh based warrior race"

>Only children do this ironically
Most people unconsciously did this through most of cinema's history. Not only were directors not the main name that people associated with the movie until the 70s (and even then most movies were star-driven until they became brand-driven in the 2010s), but average moviegoers also weren't privvy to every director's thought and whim like we are now. I also think it depends on directors and movies but having watched Rosemary's Baby and Hacksaw Ridge in the last week I definitely agree that it's impossible in some cases.

That's not what that means, Marvel directors don't get final cut either. You have to be a big name director with a track record of successes to get that.

Well, Joro cut his teeth for much longer than Robert Eggers, and he did work with Moebius, so he's not a stranger with the comic medium. He's got the right to shit on capeshit. Scorsese is an old man screaming at clouds, and the Irishman was a piece of shit. Actually having constipation problems for 3 hours is more enjoying than that piece of shit. You got paid regardless of the amount of views and subs ot generated, shut the fuck up.

Nobody has a problem with raping and pillaging Muslims, they just have a problem with the fact that they can't do anything about it.

skarsgård is fucking boring. Travis Fimmel already mogged any and all viking bandwagon tryhards.

Same for actors, though. Art doesn't refer to the entire film necessarily. The actor's experiences are in their performance. Their ability to act and mimic is something intrinsic in them or something they developed. You can't separate them. People are more than their views and actions, no matter the views and actions. All things have causes. Maybe you hate Polanski for what he did, maybe you think it's more complicated than we've been led to believe, maybe you think he's based and redpilled. Doesn't matter, he is in the fabric of his films.

The irish are vikings

shut up faggot

The movie was basically The Lion King if Simba refused to confront Scar for an hour of runtime because the moment was never dramatic enough.
Strong start but that last hour is a slog

Norwegian Vikings account for the majority of Norse genetic influence in Ireland you retard, not that they literally are Vikings

Jodo was more shitting on superheroes as icons of American imperialism and consumerism like the autistic Chilean he is than really saying anything of value about the artistic value of it all.
>“Superman makes me vomit, Batman and all that. That whole empire…this religion. It is so important that superheroes suffer…I don’t give a damn, I shit on the United States.”
