It looks like the kind of movie you would risk being put on a watch list if you bought tickets for it
Sad
Too white. Minorities see movies in the theaters more than whites today. They don’t want to see the white mans masturbatory fantasy.
Sigma male on the far right side...
White people who would have seen this don't want to go to the movies any more and haven't wanted to for a long time
heh I was there
>check local theatre
>1-2 people in every late showing this weekend
I'm not going with one other guy there, that's just weird
why you sit all the way on the left finnish retard?
I didn't
theatre absolutely empty. its like people dont even know the movie exists
'people' litterally only watch capeshit in the cinema now
It wasn't good
Eggers movies are garbage
I'm definitely going to see it this week.
Eggers is a race traitor.
I don't know, the lead actor, even jacked up like this reeks ONIONS, just like Henry Cavill.
I like to imagine that these are the same poster. He said 'Eggers movies are garbage' and then thought about the subject for a moment, contemplated the subject at hand, and made the subsequent post. Based. I don't know Eggers and I have not seen this movie but I was wondering about the Green Knight is that like this movie? I read the original Sir Gawain and I love it.
Explain chud
too agreeable for normies and capeshitters
>I like to imagine
No.
Biggest reasons is that it offer nothing that TV fantasy doesn't offer.
people who thought this would do marvel numbers are actual retards who need kys immediately
Talyho then!
They spent 90 million when it should have cost around 10 like his other movies. If it had it would be making money.
Looks boring from the clip I watched
where'd the shekels go? big name actors, sets/props? how much was advertising?
Im very popular on lists.
Viking fatigue
>A24 arthouse movie about vikings
Anyone who thought this would succeed is retarded there was almost no advertising for this movie and the sparse ads I did see make it look like a made for tv movie. There was nothing eye catching in the ads looked generic as fuck. The marketing makes this look like another netflix tier historical drama show/movie.
Eggers is good at telling a story but his visual style is generic as fuck.
Bland marketing.
It look nothing special and if you don't care about Robert Eggers than I am going to be surprised if you said you dont care about it.
At least the the witch and the lighthouse were advertise as contemporary "horror" movie.
The Northman is just action viking movie with grey poster. See how boring it sound?
You've either made a friend for life or an enemy for life.
mexicans and blacks dont watch movies that arent capeshit or disney
No marketing? I haven't seen an iota of advertising for this outside of the occasional Yea Forums thread. No one in my friend circle or at work discuss either, and they're all huge movie/videogame needs.
Why weren't you there?
It literally came out today dumbass
Bad marketing along with releasing 5 years too late.
So the marketing campaign was basically "omg it's a Robert Eggers movie!!!! He's soooo great he's like the greatest filmmaker of his generation!!!!!" which anyone with half a brain knows isn't true.
Like, you've got his fanbase on plebbit and his white nationalist fanbase here and that's like 100k people at absolute most but realistically only a fraction of that. Then you've got the people that watched and ejoyed The Lighthouse and The VVitch, which is considerably larger. But that audience are the indie cinephile/pseud audience who like indie dramas. Not large scale action epics. And they certainly don't rate Eggers as the second coming.
Then you've got everyone else. Vikings came out years ago and everyone's kind of over vikings in media now after it rebooted and Assassin's Creed did it. Add on the white nationalist vibes that viral marketers have been pushing, while others are slating it for it, and you're turning off a lot of people.
If you want to make a huge action epic, you've got to make a huge action epic and advertise it as such and try appealing to a large audience. But this wasn't advertised as such and didn't try to appeal to a large audience.
I see marketing it for this non-stop on reddit and twitter. like ads.
Eggers talks about toxic masculinity and trans rights. Only larping kinolet wignats like him.
Oh, also his movies are boring.
>only whites
>no transgender viking
>no strong woman viking who carries male viking
absolutely not 2022
this is also possible, the normies were fed shit for years by those shows and netflix - they're not going to pay 20 bucks just to see "another viking episode"
Did you miss the constant totally-organic and not-at-all-forced discussions of how he was a certified kinographer for the white race being spammed on this board for the last 6 months?
Fake
This make sense. I havent seen the show vikings, but am excited for this movie, yet NPC friends i know, all seen the vikings show and are against seeing this one. Them turning thor gay in marvel movies is another oversaturated sign.
I didn't even know Twitter had ads. I also don't visit reddit. I meant no posters, no radio ads, nothing on TV that I've seen, nada. Usually word of mouth circulates too and my co workers browse reddit a lot. I haven't heard a peep from them about this. I liked his last two movies, though, so I'll probably check it out eventually.
theaters only exist for cgi blockbusters.
I was bored to death with Vikings even before Skyrim released 11 years ago, and I still am. History is cool and all, but not if it's Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, the Vikings, or the Nazis. It's all been done to death. Artists and popular historians should find something new to exploit, because nobody cares anymore.
same. thinking I might book this seat and just breathe on their neck the whole film
If normalfags knew what movies Eggers has done they'd be interested. My brother was completely indifferent until I told him it was the guy who directed Lighthouse.
Chuds are poor and unwilling to put their money where the mouth is
Kek I hope you two become friends
I had this response too. It looked like generic shite until I seen Willem in the trailer and assumed it was an Eggers film.
Peepo are saving money for Doctor Strange
I talk to some white nationalists and listen to a white nationalist podcast despite being half chinese. I haven't heard any of them bring up The Northman.
>But that audience are the indie cinephile/pseud audience who like indie dramas. Not large scale action epics
this is me. the action clips in the trailer looked like terrible game of thrones shit. i don't want action
Yea as I've said earlier his visual style isn't really that unique and honestly alot of this movie could of been shot for a made for netflix tv series on vikings fuck it already looks alot like that teutoburg forest series on netflix. This movie is basically trying to sell itself on the fact that it's directed by eggers and normies don't really pay attention to that shit this guy is not a superstar director.
Girls realized that TWP little boys with pink skin, long hair and high voices aren't intimidating
I'm watching it tonight.
We are in a worldwide pandemic sir.
Get chud, go broke
Simple as that
