10 Movies Doomed From The Start

[@littleaussierippa]

How many times does it have to be said. It's not superhero fatigue. It's shit movie fatigue.

[@darth_smooth81]

No. It’s just that the movies have no direction. They aren’t “shit.” They just don’t have anything tying them together like a major bad guy (Thanos) or some thing (Infinity Stones). The movies and shows aren’t bad, mostly. But they suffer from a lack of direction. When you get rid of all of the main heroes (and one actor who passed away) from the inception of the MCU, you are left with B-tier (or lesser tier) characters. And just like the comic they’re based on they have their fans. But the casual movie goers aren’t going to watch because why should they? If they were setting up a major comic storyline, you know people would be out at every movie and it would be a blockbuster. But the MCU is doing what the comics normally do: just meandering doing their own thing. And movie goers don’t want to just go see a movie as a one and done after what the MCU set up prior to Endgame.

[@mullerpotgieter]

​@@darth_smooth81My guy, Guardians 3 and Spiderverse 2 completely disprove that garbage. We didn't need thanos to make Spiderman 3 great

[@darth_smooth81]

@@mullerpotgieter: nothing I said was garbage. Guardians became popular and was on the 3rd movie in that franchise. So of course it was going to be successful. And Spiderman is one of the last actual A-listers from the pre-Endgame era. So of course they’re going to be blockbusters. If there was no glue tying the original pre-Endgame movies together, Black Panther, Antman, and Guardians likely would have been bombs.

[@jamesfrost126]

@@darth_smooth81 I don't agree. Look at the Hawkeye TV show. I am not a comics fan and had never heard of Echo, the Tracksuit Mafia or Kate Bishop and Hawkeye himself is not exactly an A-list hero and yet I loved that show because it had interesting characters and a compelling story. You are basically arguing that a superhero story needs top tier characters to attract a general audience. No it doesn't. It needs relatable characters, like any other genre.

[@darth_smooth81]

@@jamesfrost126: I think you missed my entire point. I even said these shows/movies are collectively pretty good overall. BUT if you look at strictly numbers, the ones that have heroes from the Infinity Saga era have done exceptionally well in terms of viewership and reception (Wandavision, Falcon & Winter Soldier, Loki)…..but those newer ones aren’t exactly breaking viewership records (She-Hulk, Echo, Ms Marvel). But I am saying the casual moviegoer will find something that appeals to them and will pass on something that doesn’t. They aren’t really willing to take a leap and try something different. Which is why Hawkeye and Black Widow didn’t have their own movies (well, Black Widow did, but it was a prequel and wasn’t received very well at all). Guardians, Black Panther, & Captain Marvel were all successful based upon the premise that they are a part of the Infinity Saga. If they didn’t have anything to do with that then those movies would have failed. Fantastic Four will be an absolute blockbuster in terms of box office money. Same with the first true MCU Xmen movie - regardless of if they’re any good or not. Again, I’m not saying any of the shows/movies are actually bad (I mean, at least not really any worse than Iron Man 3 & Thor 2)…..they just don’t have widespread appeal - coupled with no direction, people are passing on stuff that doesn’t appeal.

[@ventonthorn3455]

I had never heard of a 2011 Winnie The Pooh movie until just now.

[@asteriondeltoro124]

The 2011 Winnie The Pooh is the best Pooh Bear-related thing since The Many Adventurers back in the 70s. Crying shame that it didn't get more respect at the box office. Of course, on the other hand, who needs a box office when you play the long game as well as Disney? Back in the 80's, when I was Disney-aged, they brought two or three films from their back catalogue back to theaters every year- that's how I first saw 101 Dalmatians and The Aristocats. Disney+ is just the latest evolution of a strategy that went from that through The Disney Channel, VHS, DVD, and so on.

[@theknave69]

I hated Speed Racer, as a kid who grew up on the original anime series. I liked Christina as Trixie, but the rest of the cast didn't work for me. And the Mach 6? Just saying. I am a fan, however, of Dune. It's kitschy, but kinda awesome. I know that there was a 2 part mini-series version of the movie that was run on television without Lynch's input that adds more world building.

Marvel has been declining since Endgame.

[@Blunderman-rl1hc]

I simply stopped watching the MCU films after phase 3 ended, since I felt Endgame was a perfect conclusion to the franchise. I still think I made the right choice.

[@darth_smooth81]

Yes, but why? It’s NOT Marvel “fatigue.” It’s because ever since Endgame all of the major characters we know from the inception of the MCU are gone and there is nothing tying this new “phase” of movies and shows together. Until Endgame, every movie has some tie to Infinity Stones or Thanos - that was the glue holding the movies together. Where is the post-Endgame MCU going? What reason should I go see all of the movies/shows that don’t interest me? People went to see Guardians & Ant-Man because they tied into the overarching story. Not because casual movie goers knew anything about those characters. While I’m glad they’re giving a lot of lesser-known heroes their time to shine, just like comics, people are going to pick and choose what they read/watch until some IP they don’t care about is included in a greater story arc. That’s perfectly fine, in the grand scheme of things. Not everyone is going to spend their money on Shang-Chi or Eternals or Marvels because they aren’t A-listers to the casual fans. But the MCU really needs to bring the universe back together again and give our heroes a reason for joining up and becoming the Avengers again. If not, the MCU will just have a few “blockbusters” here and there with their bigger IP’s mixed with “bombs” of their lesser-known IP’s….

Speed Racer is criminally underrated. I’m not a anime fan and have only vague knowledge about its source material. That said I love that movie. Sure it’s odd and I understand why it doesn’t get the respect it deserves. However, that shouldn’t take away from its stunning visual effects and overall quality. Just because “normal” folks don’t like movies of that genre, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be appreciated for what it is.

Disney+ is why The Marvels failed, and streaming in general is hurting all movies. The push to stream content faster is hurting their box office pull. Years ago it would take more than a year for a movie that left the cinema to make it to VHS/DVD or TV; now it only takes months.

What sucks the most about The Marvels is that even when the sequel to Captain Marvel was first announced, there were a majority of people who WANTED this movie to suck AND bomb at the box office because they already hate the character and/or the actress. And for stupid shit that wasn't even the actress's fault and shit she said that was taken out of context. Instead of hoping it at least improves on some of the things the first movie did like I do. Go watch the second part of CinemaWins' Captain Marvel video because I don't have the mental capacity to explain the context. I never got to see the movie because my aunt, who saw the first one with me, was having health problems. And normally I wait til to the weekend to watch movies, but I waited long enough and watched it on the Tuesday that it released. It's honestly not that bad. I loved the switch fight scenes, the bonding between the lead characters and after so little screentime from her last few appearances, we finally get to see Carol actually BEING a human. She's serious most of the time, but she's not this evil, heartless character that haters make her out to be. Sometimes, she makes jokes but she's not overly quippy like so many blockbuster characters are now. I love that she kept the Skrull torture device. I've always been a sucker for superheroes taking a supervillain's weapon and using it for good like Shang Chi taking his dad's rings. I know that the Skrulls weren't bad guys the whole time but they didn't find out they were on the same side yet. I liked the parts where the Flerkins ate the entire SABER crew AND the Kree soldiers and Kamala copying Fury with the Avenger Inititiative because as a superhero diehard, she'd definitely do that! I can't wait to see whatever Young Avengers project we get, especially since they're not getting any younger. And I'm curious to see how the post credit scene fits into the Multiverse Saga, let alone Deadpool 3. I freaking love that there's a musical planet and Carol being the princess of that planet for legal purposes! Especially since Brie Larson WAS a pop star for a minute! And they kept the same sci fi buddy cop comedy vibe the first movie had! While also giving us a sample of what Carol's career as a cosmic hero was since the first movie. So yeah, I think the movie DOES improve some of the things the first movie did, just a little. But I am sad that they couldn't have gotten to be more. I blame Chapek. He rushed creative people into releasing content ASAP instead of letting them do their job in their own pace. The animation studios, Marvel, Star Wars. Good effing riddance. This and Wish were the last movies that were the closest to completion during his tenure.

I liked Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck as both Batman and Bruce Wayne. Couldn't stand Ezra Miller as Flash. And then they went and put a second one in. 🤮

Yes... "lack of advertising" killed Strange World. Riiiiiiiight.

1984 "Dune" may not have been the best film, but it gave us the duo of David Lynch and Kyle McLachlan. We may not have had "Twin Peaks" without it.

You're completely wrong about Strange World. If you went to the movies you saw a preview for it. I have no idea if they're actually had commercials on TV because I don't watch commercials but there were plenty of previews in the theater. The reason it failed was because it's a shit movie. I even walked out of the theater, it was so bad

[@GLJosh]

So much cope within the "explanations".

[@davidmylchreest3306]

Money for advertising Strange World went to promotion for Wakanada Forever. Disney figured that would be the bigger hit, and just threw the aminated film under the bus.

SPEED RACER was always a gamble in my view... I do like Anime and Manga, but Speed racer was never on my radar... I have seen the movie and for what its worth its enjoyable... But its no Yu-Gi-Oh! or Dragonball Z... It doesn't have the girt and punch of Vampire Hunter D... And other than die hard fans of the property, I dont think many of us - Including me a the time - Had ever heard of it! It reminds me of when someone did ASTROBOY, I had heard of Astroboy, but only because I adore watching Vintage KZbin Channels that cover really old TV Shows and stuff... Speed Racer fell in to that category of a "Long Forgotten" And THE MARVELS, I have still not seen it... Not Marvel Fatigue though - My Son went to see it and was simply not impressed... And he is a Die Hard Disney/Marvel Defender... If he did not like it - There was something very wrong! I feel it did not help that not only was there Captain Marvel but Ms. Marvel... Who much as they try to spin it otherwise are NOT the most popular characters in the Marvelverse... Have not had any proper "Build up" ... Much as I enjoyed Captain Marvel as a Movie, It was badly written! I never cared about Carol Danvers as she more or less had everything handed to her on a silver platter! And Ms. Marvel being a Disney + Exclusive... The Causal Audience has no idea who she is... Bad Decisions... Simple as! The Infinity War was always going to be the BIG EPIC... Disney / Marvel Peaked far too soon! (Sorry but KANG THE CONQUERER is NEVER going to be as Epic as THANOS!!! Legal Issues not withstanding...)

you misused the term ''sword of damocles'' during the aqua teen hunger force part.

[@djsmitj2191]

"Strange World" also had a homosexual teenager as a main character and they couldn't find a way to market it without possible blow back.

[@leemarie414]

As a kid I didn't know that a lot movies were adapted from books. As i got a little older i thought the books came after movies. So for me I saw most if not all movies first, then heard about the books later if at all. So for Dune 1981 is awesome and pretty much anything else from that era. If you never heard about the books from any sources and only saw the movies, I'm sure you might have a better take them. If I wasn't a kid that grew up knowing everything about Venom from the comics I probably could appreciate Spider-Man 3. Unfortunately I have the books.

The Marvels only did "well" on streaming because people wanted to see the cringe. From trailer 1 it looked god awful and the end result is only watchable with an FF button close at hand.
