If dude dislikes that Marvel is "using characters that no one cares about", he's gonna hate what Gunn is gonna do with DC lol
Sure, a comic fan might have introduced a casual viewer to the MCU, but I'm not what keeps my wife going to see them. She's seen a couple without me. She is a core fan not a casual viewer, but you don't see that because you're blinded by your belief that the core audience consists solely of comic book readers. That's never really been true. In fact, some of the biggest critics of the MCU have always been comic book readers because they are the ones that don't like how much the MCU differs from the source material.
And no, I don't believe low pre ticket sales are specifically because MCU fans don't care about the characters.
1) Presales have gotten progressively worse this Phase. All that really means is that people are not as quick to go see MCU movies off the strength of them being MCU movies now.
2) Marvel hasn't really done a good job of promoting the movies. People are only now expressing satisfaction with the trailers.
3) There's been a lot of doom and gloom surrounding the MCU in recent times. That Variety article is the latest example. Of course that type of thing influences viewer excitement going into a movie release.
4) Carol, Monica, and Kamala aren't Tony, Steve, and Thor. That doesn't mean the audience doesn't care about them. It just means they don't care about them as much as the characters that came before them.
lol watch when they finally bring rogue in niggas gonna say shit about an agenda cuz its another super powered woman
If they introduce Rouge with a character that is part of her origin story or the X-Men, how can it be an agenda?
word word..
Photon is directly tied to Captain Marvel.
As is Ms. Marvel.

Y'all niggas keep spelling red
Is it Rogue or red?
Well that's a diff argument than the weirdos triggered by women in lead rolesPhoton WAS Captain Marvel long before Carol Danvers. If there's any one thing that Marvel's core fans were up in arms about, it was giving the title of Captain Marvel to a blond woman when there was already a very deserving Black female character right there.
But Rouge is more popular. The bigger draw. Come on man. What we doing. They could’ve feed into the CM hate with Rouge.
Stop trying to get lols from the same fuck niggas and make a real argument.
This actually hurts the "agenda" argument you're making. If Rogue is the more popular character then why not use her to push this mysterious agenda y'all have yet to identify? Why choose a group of characters who by everyone's admission would be on the "B" and "C" scale? That would be burying an agenda not pushing one
Huh? The agenda has nothing to do with women. I never said that. The agenda is Marvel Studios thinks that they can replicate Phase 1 success with unknown characters. And pandering to sub groups thinking they can replicate the success of Black Panther. Again viewership and ticket sales has proven this. Nobody wants this shit when you have X-MEN, Spider-Man and F4 on the shelf. Let’s get to the shits.
Ok. So there's 2 different agendas being discussed. To yours specifically the reason Marvel thinks they can do that is because the entirety of the MCU is based around a B level character that got pushed to A level solely because the movies. As with BP the pandering worked because it gave them 2 of their most successful movies ever. To pretend to not understand why theyd try to replicate that formula is just you being willfully ignorant. You may not like it, but to pretend to not understand why Marvel is doing this makes it look like you've got another issue you're not saying.
