DC/WB not having any type of direction made it easy for Marvel/Disney to flood the block with (some decent but mostly) mid and secure them Disney+ subs.

Now that DC seemingly has some direction or at least some new energy Feige looking at gunn and them niggas like...

Lol at Marvel tanking and rebuilding to try and run it back on these niggas at DC again tho.

It's hilarious how internet niggas have this franchise war going on in their heads. The investors was not pleased with phase four that's why they are scaling down.

Good. Let em fight it out and may the best movies win. We all win.

I don't pledge my allegiance to any ONE of these mfs.

I just wanna feel like I ain't wasting my damn hard earned time and money if ever one of my kids insists on checking these shits out at the theater.

Saw Wakanda Forever two weeks ago and spent 27.00 on drinks ALONE.

These goofy mfs better get to re-evaluating SOMETHING and asap.

Wouldn't be surprised if Gunn pulls some of the talent from the Guardians flicks into the DCU. Especially seeing as how hard his cast rode for him when he was goin thru that Twitter beef.

Good. Start by shelving those shows nobody asked for like agatha and echo. Every thing doesn't need a spin off. ditch agatha and focus on vision quest. I think "Rogers" could be a good show something like the MCU version of glee or a special presentation : the making of Rogers. *Sings* I could do this all daaaaaay!"

If we're being honest the best parts of phase 4 were the tv shows.. The movies were where things were lacking

In an interview with Deadline, Robert Downey Jr. spoke about Quentin Tarantino’s disparaging comments towards the comic book movie genre, while also broadly discussing how he sees it all.

Downey started by stating how ”[he] think our opinions on these matters say a lot about us… But it’s a double-edged sword:”

“… I think our opinions on these matters say a lot about us. I think that we are in a time and place that I unwittingly contributed to, where IP has taken precedence over principle and personality. But it’s a double-edged sword. A piece of IP is only as good as the human talent you get to represent it and you can have some great IP even if it’s coming from an auteur or a national treasure of a writer director, and if you don’t have the right kind of artist playing that role, you’ll never know how good it could have been.

“I think that creatively it is a waste of time to be at war with ourselves. I think this is a time when everything is so much more fragmented now that I think you have this kind of bifurcation. Throwing stones one way or another…and I’ve had my reactions in the past when people said things that I felt were discrediting my integrity…I go, you know what, let’s just get over it. We’re all a community. There’s enough room for everything and thank God for Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water. That’s all I have to say. We need the big stuff to make room for films like Armageddon Time.”

You know niggas mad when they say “f” word.



Don’t make me get Bedstuy to pack you out.

But you be callin people “sideline faggots” all the time.

I appreciate this POV, but RDJ is one of the biggest examples of what Tarantino was saying. His career was lowkey dying on the vine before getting that Iron Man role. Look at his filmography after 2008. It's basically a bunch of established IPs like Sherlock Holmes, Dolittle, and Avengers movies with a teeny tiny percentage of original joints spread in that aren't doing even close to what those established IP movies are doing. I think people are upset because they think Tarantino, Coppola, and Scorsesee are saying that these folks can't actually ACT or that they're not big names when they say they're not movie stars. That's not the case though.

I thought movie stars and actors in general did that kind of thing all the time. RDJr basically said as much. By actors having a couple of these MASSIVE movies in the tuck that gives them some more freedom to do some of the passion projects like indie movies or plays that might not normally get made without their big name attached to it. Part of the reason theyre names are big are from these franchises

How many movies stars have Tarantino, Coppola and Scorsese made in recent years? Let's be honest.

at this post, the time stamp, who liked it and the fact you’re doing it.

Facts

How many folks have have they put on in general.

Tom Holland, Chris Hemsworth, Elizabeth Olsen, etc are names in the industry cuz of the MCU

 

[Shenco]

How many movie stars has the MCU made in recent years? That’s the point. There are NO movie stars based on how the business has changed due to the success of the intellectual property film industry. I don’t blame the comic book films because this was happening before them ie Harry Potter and LOTR trilogy

It's actually pretty interesting

What do you all consider movie stars?

The actors are making lots of money, are international names, and many have the ability to take on other projects if that's what they choose. Maybe Chris Hemsworth isn't Arnold in the 80s, but it's not like he's a nobody either. And people like Benedict Cumberbatch has like two other movies for every Dr. Strange appearance he's done, so what are we really talking about here?

At the end of the day, directors and actors criticizing the MCU isn't the problem. The problem is that it's extremely transparent that their criticisms come from a place of hating.

 

[God_Body]

When OG rappers shit on today’s rap, most of y’all niggas be on the old rappers side. Talking the “REAL HIP-HOP” shit.

When new rappers speak their peace on old rappers, y’all don’t listen to what they saying and shit on them.

Funny y’all not giving OG directors that gave y’all classics the same grace. But Nas is relevant.

They already told you what a movie star is. Y’all not getting it and I don’t know if I can explain it any better. No one is saying that these people aren’t big names. No one is saying that these people aren’t getting roles. No one is saying that these people can’t act. They’re celebrities. Celebrity actors, but they are not movie stars.

There was a balance. Brad Pitt doesn’t make a 12 Monkeys in this climate

I didn't see where anyone gave a worthwhile definition of a movie star, but from your little rant, it sounds like they are just making up a definition to suit their own arguments which is...stupid.
