The Flopsman

Why did The Northman bomb so hard, especially when other equivalent movies like Black Panther were huge unprecedented hits?

it was on the wrong side of history

how it's equivalent?

I will never pay money to watch anything ever again. I don't care how good it is.

>equivalent movies like Black Panther
Extremely low quality bait

Watch this thread reach bump limit despite of that

Because white people are over

>equivalent movies like Black Panther

>other equivalent movies like Black Panther
you're a retard

Yea Forums is full of zoomer retards that don't even know how to sage.

But it didn't flop, Jamal.

Saging hasn't worked since the last 5 years or so, fag.

There’s too much viking shit and it all looks the same. hopefully we won’t see anymore of these movies and shows for a while

I don't believe you

It has no plot or characters worth giving a shit about, everyones performance is shit except the main character's uncle, film blows it's wad too early and drags for the second half.
Eggers does some things so well, it's hard for me to accept the reality that he's a hack, but he is.

How does it compare to the Witch?

Is it as good with a blend of realism?

It's great. He's baiting

Because white men are a tiny percentage of movie watchers. Of course if you alienate a majority of the population with your chudism, it isn't going to go well for your movie.

I hope Eggers learns from his mistake.

Because for some reason medieval movies keep using the 2000s washed out color schemes when every other genre and setting has moved on from that shit. I guess Eggers didn't get the memo from how badly The Last Duel did.

Because white people have no culture.

Black Kings vs Whitetoids

How is the Asgard : Wakanda dynamic not relevant here?

You haven have blacks/Asians in Asgard, but -only- black people in Wakanda? I mean, I get it, it's political wishy-washy, but it is still annoying.

Black Panther was marketed up the ass because African Americans don't really have much. They derive their entertainment from others - which is why they're shoved into everything.

Why are people trying to liken this to Black Panther? They're not even remotely similar. Are white people that desperate to feel white pride or something?

Because it's about fagans.

>How does it compare to the Witch?
The Witch is far more well-balanced because it contains a human element in the story, we can follow characters' development and their motivations are discernable to a degree that serves the film.
The Northman is a visual spectacle and feast for the senses but it's ultimately hollow, like an average Malick film. It starts off really strong but really falls off before the mid-point, and the plot takes some frustratingly stupid turns to stretch it out.
It's all of Eggers strengths and weaknesses amplified, so it's extremely lopsided. Valhalla Rising is a far better example of what The Northman failed to deliver.
>Is it as good with a blend of realism?
The film's been autistically researched to be historically accurate in terms of clothing and props and all that, but that doesn't make for a good film.
Refute 1 (one) point I made.

this but for niggers and black pnther

>why does capeshit and Disney make money while everything else fails?

What’s the point of even asking this question

>t. "yes they are"

got it. pale face coping confirmed.

Not enough action to draw in the Conan the barbarian crowd, and not enough quiet moments to draw in the Andrei Rublev crowd. Went in really wanting to like it, and being a big fan of the VVITCH and the lighthouse. He shines at contained stories, where he can pack in a lot. He bit off more than he could chew. But I still think its commendable he took a risk and tried something out of his comfort zone, even if the outcome was subpar. Still pisses me off he compares it to Tarkovsky.

Because leftist bloggers were pretty quick to label this a nazi movie

Eggers compares it to Tarkovsky? Seriously lol

I saw this last night and it was genuinely the first time in years I have sat in a completely booked out cinema. Every seat was taken. I sat next to a stranger on my left.
I was surprised. Film was good but meandered. How can it be doing poorly when it sold out a screen? Not a small one mind you.

cope.

Are people really claiming this is black panther for white (americans) or something?

>this is in some respects me trying to do Conan the Barbarian by way of Andrei Rublev

>muh human element
>not realizing it's about the myth, not just the man

Bet you're one of those retards who can't sit through a movie if the protagonist is flawed or not a particularly good person. The fact that you claim the beginning is the best part proves you're just a midwit who went in expecting Conan and got filtered. The added dig at Malick helps too lol

White people aren't so easily pandered to. Also, the MCU propped up Black Panther a lot. Also, this movie looked kinda boring. Also, fuck you, nigger.

>black panther
1 billion worldwide
>white panther
40 million worldwide

oh no no no

>White people aren't so easily pandered to.
did u forget the orange jew man?

Black Panther has the Marvel brand which immediately brings hundreds of millions no matter how shitty the movie is (up until Morbius but even that did better than Northman)

Also Black Panther had a truly massive marketing campaign, likely as much as the movie cost, so everyone was aware when it came out and there were huge stories in the media about how "important" it was

this movie’s audience can spend $60 for 200 hours of fucking around as a viking in elden ring

>muh budget
>muh box office
black panther and most marvel movies are total garbage and normie mouth breathing retards only go and see them because they love marvel and capeshit

I don't want to be in a movie theatre where nazi sympathizers are sitting. They're fucking psychos and would like to leave alive.

Because, despite all of the "Go woke go broke" rhetoric movies need a diverse audience to survive. Something about European history, and only European history, has no appeal to non Europeans.

Black Panther was not about black history and more than Spiderman is about New York history.

Is it I'm 4:3? I can't watch another one of those

What would the opposite of "Go woke, go broke" be? "Go chud, get a dud?"

>muh trump
Dilate, bigger.

>ultranationalist kilmonger wants to kill all the kikes and globalists
>his globohomo cousin murders him
>immediately surrenders his ethnostates highly advanced tech over to CIA glowniggers
black panther is so fucking cucked its not funny

>"muh human element"
>the literal bedrock of storytelling
You're a pseud faggot who watched a 2.5 hr music video and thought it was deep.
>it's about the myth
So? Those myths are translated and available to anyone who wants to read them. This film is a plodding mess and a poor attempt to integrate that mythology into a cohesive motion picture.
>Is it I'm 4:3?
No.

literally nobody actually cares about viking shit. all they did was raid and pillage and then they stopped and thus were no longer vikings
not interesting from a storytelling perspective at all. you want norse shit to get attention you have to mold it like skyrim and thor(marvel)

You do realize that Asgard is literally a alien god realm, right? They can be fucking neon pink and it would still add up.

the fetishization of vikings is a very american thing
i don't think that many europeans care outside of scandinavia

Well, yeah. It was just a typical "Status quo defend" Superhero movie. I liked it personally just because it was well told, but it is what it is.

Which kino should I see at the local kinoplex today

It depends. Sweden mostly doesn't care since if they idealize anything it was their brief ascendancy to great power. Norway meanwhile is too Christian to really fully commit to it outside some vague tourism draws. Which kind of just leaves Denmark.

Honestly, I would say it's mostly English that obsess over Vikings.

indeed, it is what it is, and it is shit targeted at the lowest common denominator. idiot consoomers who must see the next marvel movie

>Their
Most white people in Europe and America are more Black than they are Norse.

Post hands or your top five movies.

No thanks, thanks for acknowledging your defeat

I accept your concession.
