Thuderbolts officially underperforms Captain America: Brave New World

They were going to do that regardless. But absolutely nobody fucking likes the Fantastic Four, straight up. And most people will just skip it thinking Pedro Pascal dies in it like always kek

We don't sign our posts here.

kek I read a reddit thread yesterday that predicted it would be the biggest movie of the year

It has no name recognition so it’s to be expected. It really liked though which surprised me. Might end up doing well in the long run

I want to believe so but I won't get my hopes up until Superman and Fantastic Four also flop

Turn your monitor on

Capeshit is dead. Long live vidyaslop.

This but unironically.

I'm not gonna bother doing research on this, is the capeshit bubble done and over with? Feel like I don't see any normalniggers talking about any of the new movies after Avengers ended

That pic

Keeek evil baatards

When are they gonna shitcan this faggot?

says me

It has transitioned to video games, with Marvel Rivals blowing Blizzard and their pozzed Overwatch out of the water.
But movie-wise, video game movies will likely be doing better than capeshit. So it's an ironic twist.

Yes so all three of Pedro's fans will be sure to see it

movie games will become as big as the MCU was

Oh god now I understand how comics fans felt

I wanna cum over that Pig face.

Probably never, just like Kathleen Kennedy. The thing is, people want Star Wars to be good again, but they don't really care about Marvel or superheroes anymore. Even if they fire him and "fix" the MCU, those movies are still going to bomb because the fad is over and everyone is sick to death of these characters and the formula of comic book shit.

Mr. box office poison

actually decent Marvel movie

performs worse than a movie everyone hates

???????????

actually decent Marvel movie

lol

this, but the same thing is happening and will happen for all new Star Wars.

It's only reviewed highly because there's very few MCU fans left who give a shit.

Here is a movie with a bunch of D listers that are knock offs of other more popular characters

Edgy Captain America, who was introduced in a show

Blonde Widow

Fat joke father figure

the bitch from Ant Man who no one cares about

Female "Taskmaster"

Bucky, who is not only an Edgy Captain America, but also filled with Angst

The Sentry, aka what if Superman was a schizo.

After a handful or terrible movies n shows

It's no shock this flopped. Even if it's actually good, it would still flop. Not many people are willing to go to the theaters anymore...unless its a heckin social media meme. After the first trailers I did not even give it a second thought.

actually decent Marvel movie

>actually decent Marvel movie

Fuck off, Mousecuck.

They're not expecting much from a movie with a bunch of unknown characters.

Weren't most of the dudes in the MCU golden age d-listers? I'm sure nobody gave a fuck about Thor before the movies

Until this moment, I thought Thunderbolts was a TV series, not a movie.

OH NO NO NO NO
AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

This is expected. They're the B-roster so of course this is gonna underperform in the first weekend.

Plus, Snow White might have tanked so much of Disney's money, Marvel (and everything else moving forward) might not get big marketing budgets like they used to. This thing was barely on my radar

I've seen it. It's good though---not great, good or alright.

well yes that's what happens when you release a string of shit movies, people aren't going to show up no matter how hard reviewers fellate it

That's what they get for having no black man in the film

Why is she just standing there frozen in the "no don't fight" pose while people are already fighting?

Also if they're actually trying to kill each other, why did he pull the dude back into the room instead of letting him fall to his death?

It's this. Why does everyone ignore the elephant in the living room, especially as Trump's fascism threatens to shred the constitution and destroy the country?

A superpowered individual suffering from amnesia who is believed to be stronger than all of the Avengers combined.[12][13] As the Void, a version of Sentry completely shrouded in shadows, he is invincible, spreads darkness, and can turn people into shadows.[13] Bob's mental health arc was based on the experiences of director Jake Schreier's friend.

Hollywood's most believable action star.

Weird. It's a lot better than Cap 4.

he's so far beyond them that he sees no reason to kill people who had recently helped him

Then why is he smashing them into walls instead of holding them mid-air so they can't do anything

Pugh's resting bitch face is enough to make anyone not want to watch this movie

This guy seems like at a party he would be generally nice but try way too hard to crack jokes constantly

Hollywood has been releasing these flops for years with zero adjustments so I don't think so

They're still not willing to give up on the girlboss. The old marketing was very antagonistic and in-your-face about it, now they're still doing it but they try to hide it in the trailers cause they know how repulsed people are.

he's right though, it objectively wasn't that bad

You made literally 100% of that up

see poster

No groids

buy ticket

Simple as

It was actually good for goyslop. I won’t be seeing FF because I don’t want my money to support raceswapping Reed.

The funny thing is this movie is literally Marvel learning from its mistakes but nobody will ever see it. As long as there’s no Blacks I’m in

Thanks for this practical demonstration of the Overton Window
What we can see here is a rightwing extremist who watches a girlboss movie because it has no niggers

The movie is positive mentally ill incel drug addict representation

Interesting idea. Except for the fact that I’m not right wing. Nor is this a girl boss movie. And it’s not a demonstration of the Overton window

My sentiments exactly

Sure, but you know what they were not? Temu versions of other characters in the MCU. They were also some what respectful to the character.
Iron Man was not a sad sack of shit who only invented things thanks to the help of Pepper.
Thor was not a bumbling buffoon right outta the gate
What we got for Thunderbolts is

Red Guardian is a trope, the silly old man who has not fully accepted his age

a lesser, slightly emo version of Black Widow

a genderswapped version of a character from a movie not many watched.

US Agent, aka Captain America who kills people and works directly with the feds.

Ghost, a character from a movie that came out 7ish years ago. A movie that no one really remembers or care much about.

Bucky, the one character people give a shit about.

I have not seen the movie, so I can't say anything about the version of the Sentry we got, but I'm just gonna assume he is kinda crap, much weaker than he should be unless it's the Void personality in charge.

What the fuck is temu

I'm sick of the sight of him but he is like catnip to boomer women and reddit.

That surly cunt sure has a punchable face.

Think chink Amazon, filled to the brim with Chinese knock offs of other popular products for an extremely cheap price.

he's kind of a bastard, and he knows most of them are supersoldiers and can take it.

multiple Russians

no groids

You'll never be white, nor European.

There are no decent Marvel movies and they all deserve to flop on the basis of being capeshit.

Does she know how to smile or does she always looks like she's on fentanyl?

I was confused thinking why Disney would market Final Fantasy 4, which in my mind is one the best final fantasy games.

Why are there so many russkies in the movie?

Mentally ill "Literally Me" drug addict character and "Strong Female girl" character bond and see themselves, their struggles and their insecurities in each other, forming a bond that can be argued to be either genuine friendship or a satisfying romance

honestly impressive desu

They're still not willing to give up on the girlboss.

It's pretty crazy how desperate they are to just burn money.

They're characters though, not actual russians. Also, European is synonymous with cuck nowadays and I say this as an European. We're worse than even Americans somehow.

Maybe so but he is also a communist (while being a multi-millionaire)

Basically

the elephant in the living room

Don't you mean the pig in the living room? KEK.

Why does the CGI look worse than the original Avengers

your moms in my bedroom though

A lot of fedbux were tied into the "sure thing" of ESG. The suits can't just admit total failure to their board members.

Unlike niggers the whole world hates russkies.

Why does Black Widow 2 have a russian accent when Black Widow 1 didn't?

I only hate their president. As actual people, I know at least they're not soulless automatons like most westerners. They're just retarded and bend the knee to a dictator.

churn out DEI slop

face backlash for it, fans boycott movies over policy, allegedly

put out a single movie without DEI as a minor flick with little publicity, everyone's fed up with DEI and they associate it with marvel so this one suffers from it and does small numbers

"See? It's not because of DEI!"

poor results prompt them to reinstate DEI because it's not to blame as results show

If you don't go watch this movie at least twice, you're a DEI knight who's actively killing cinema. The most Aryan thing to do would be watching it many times.

This wasn't enough to convince me not to watch the movie.
But the first 5 minutes were.

To be fair, the Thunderbolts are C-listers even for today's standards. A movie with this premise was never going to make a lot of money based on that alone, even if it's objectively one of the better Phase 5 flicks.

There is a thing called "selection and maintenance of the aim" to these guys which basically means "once you pick a path, you stay on it until the bitter end". How much can Disney afford to lose? Is it like Microsoft where they run massive profits in one arm of the business and a massive loss in other arms?

Guardians of the Galaxy were D-listers, what matters ultimately is the publicity it gets, I barely saw any ads for this whereas for the former they were all over

C-listers

Tbf back in the day the Avengers were also C-listers if compared to Spidey, X-Men or JLA. Normies didn't care about the Avengers at all.

Watch Thunderbolts to save the white race

This is literally how Disney markets to Anon Babble.

Thinks FF4 is the best one

I get liking the story, but the game itself? It's shit. One character slot is a complete waste the whole game besides the very last part when you finally get the last permanent character...who is basically fucking useless and will always be way behind the other. I like alot of the characters you get to use, too bad most of them become completely unplayable for one reason or another.

The Sharty did nothing wrong and the site deserved to stay dead.

hurr lookatmeeeee I'm differnt !!!

I doubt Disney needs to market on a website of autistic people that has a reach of about 200k users.
That being said, I'll be seeing the new Tron and likely enjoy it too.

I'll be seeing the new Tron

Why?

superman will definitely flop, and if it doesn't it will ruin the name for years. F4 has heavy defenders on normie media so who knows

Significantly less with more theaters at a better time of year at that.

Don't kid yourself.
Anon Babble's been host to actual astroturfers for years. It's not out of the ordinary.

i also look like this and say that

i will cope that we will see an increase in the next 2 weeks now that most of the youtube movie reviewers are calling it an actually good film.

Fantastic Four

Idk, Marvel Rivals did a wonderful job promoting them. Plus normies adore faggot Pascal for some reason.

what the hell they thought it would happen?

outsourcing, now pajeets do the CGI.

Because despite Leto, it seems like it will be kino and I already know I'll enjoy the soundtrack at the very least.

Thunderbolts has an A- CinemaScore while Brave New World had a B- (worst in MCU history)
So it should have better legs despite the smaller opening

you can't win. if this movie does well it will boost numbers for Fantastic 4, the actual DEI girlboss movie

film is ass.
slightly better than average capeshit but it's not that memorable.

To be fair, Thunderbolts was much better than Brave New World

Which is why it got a lower Cinemascore (B- compared to the Bolts A-) and much lower reviews. And Brave New World had lot more going for it, it was a part 4 of a series that made $2.2 billion previously. It was supposed to be a Sam Wilson vehicle, and they cast Harrison Ford and covered him in CGI to play the villain. Making half the box office of a previous installment from a decade ago is shitting the bed completely.

At least Thunderbolts* is filled with characters that normies wouldn't know about or they would remember being second bananas to other characters, like Black Widow or Captain America, or being in B-tier series like Ghost from Ant-Man. They're in a similar position to Thor in his first movie, the purpose is introduction, not huge box office which is unrealistic especially after the Marvel brand is damaged goods now.

Cinemascore is fucking useless. It's based on audience engagement rather than actual quality.

the bitch from Ant Man who no one cares about

you have to admit though, she is mighty fine

PostTrak has it at 4/5, RT is 88% Certified Fresh with critics (Brave New World is 48% Rotten), 94% Verified Hot with audiences, and rated Generally Favorable in Metacritic. I also heard Letterboxd reviews skew favorable.

Let's face it, most people who watched this movie liked it.

Beautiful cope lmao

This dude is a really citing rotten tomatoes LMAO

Not all super movies are over. A movie with a more interesting premise, would draw a crowd. Disney just can't get away with churning out generic content.

CinemaScore isn't supposed to indicate quality, instead it indicates if a movie will have good word of mouth or not.
An audience member who was more engaged with a movie and gives it an A is more likely to recommend it to others and/or go see it again than one who was less engaged and gave it a C

Let's face it, most people who watched this movie liked it.

So what? Most people liked Furiosa and it still flopped.

PostTrak has it at 4/5, RT is 88% Certified Fresh with critics (Brave New World is 48% Rotten), 94% Verified Hot with audiences, and rated Generally Favorable in Metacritic.

all these worthless scores

still flops

kek

And keep in mind Marvel movies are apt to be filled with MCU fanboys on opening day that will probably be more demanding than normies, especially if this movie is really more psychological than the average CGI action slop.

Oh and even the IMDB degenerates gave Thunderbolts* a 7.7/10 score.

Just pointing facts. Comparing this movie to Brave New World was always retard, and it's what the OP was all about. It also ignores history. And don't play that game with me, Furiosa was always intended to capitalize on the previous Mad Max movie. Thunderbolts is a movie 1 adapting a series that nobody but diehard comicfags know.

Only weekend 1 and I'm sure you don't know what you're even starting to talk about. Do you feel in charge?

was always retard

GOOD MORNING SAAAAR!

Bucky barely talks
Pugh has no star power
There was no marketable villain
Cast had no chemistry
Randomly killed Taskmaster for no reason

This movie was doomed to flop

There was no marketable villain

People actually like Sentry. He is like Superman, but more relatable.

If that makes you feel better about your ignorance and being ill-tempered...

I've seen criticisms about Valentina being the villain as a second-rate Nick Fury, but Marvel writers have always returned to the Sentry for 25 years, even if it doesn't always turn out great because there's been hacks at the wheel. Not here though.

No one wants to pay to see ugly straight to streaming level garbage. Capeshit is essentially hallmark quality but even less appealing. You have to be brain damaged to still give a fuck.

Maybe if they made the movie more about the Sentry instead of having Elaine be a bumbling villain for most of it it would do well?

I feel like new hulk movie had more advertisement

Even though it got good reviews why would anyone think it would get the crowds?
It's a film starring shit tier heroes.
It was destinied to flop hard.

because Brave New World was meant to be "the big one" while Thunderbolts was filler connecting it to Fantastic Four, with (questionable) leaks saying the Thunderbolts would die in Doomsday to prop up Sam and his new avengers.

Now, Brave New World is considered a terrible movie, while Thunderbolts is seen as almost pre-endgame in terms of quality by various movie critics.

Thunderbolts was always the underdog superhero movie this year. It would be funny if it turns out to be the better received one.

shit tier heroes

Don't badmouth Bad Santa and schizo Superman.

How many times can you reasonably expect to sell people the same movie with a new coat of paint?

Grow up. Seriously, man, look at your life, is perpetual childhood what you want it to be?

my life is getting better each year
I literally saw it with a bunch of people who agree with me that it was a good time

Tragic because it was way better

Cinema is dead, finally

If they cast that dyke haircut, short, slampig as their new black widow.
They deserve to flop

So much money spent, so much technology employed, so many man/hours worked and this is the result?

because blacktain america tradmarked the name

I will never pay to see a movie starring Florence Pig.
I don't know why the fuck anyone ever would.
Why does Hollywood keep trying to make this fat ugly thing happen?

Does she know how to smile or does she always looks like she's on fentanyl?

She smiles

Weird cope but ok lol

perhaps you're just incrementally lowering your standards.

t. Has brown hands

How was this a girlboss movie

Holy shit how does Hollywood KEEP shilling this thing and expecting to make money? How?!

It stars Florence Pig. How is that not immediately enough to put you off of the movie? Why do you need more?

If only it was Thunderbirds rather than Thunderbolts.

No name characters, B-list actors and coming after a string of janky films. Who in this cast was a comparable draw to Harrison Ford? The good news is that Blacktain America had shitty legs due to poor word-of-mouth. MCU consoomers seem to like this one, so it shouldn't collapse.

This bitch is a fucking murderer and i'm supposed to feel bad cause she's depressed? On top of that she is gross

might be come but i think second week will hold better than Brave new world.People who watched thunderbolts actually liked it

The MCU is almost 20 years old now. The novelty factor is long gone and the higher ratio of releases that even fans consider to be slop has hurt the brand. It can't carry literally whos anymore.

"Russians aren't whi--"

Thunderbolts cost half as much to make

I'm not going to read any of this thread and I don't know what could possibly be discussing. Nobody knows what the fuck Thunderbolts is or who any of the characters are, why would anyone go and see it?

my standards are fine, and I'm content with my life

Guardians of the Galaxy were D-listers

Yeah and Marvel was on it's all time peak in 2014, they were popular but also still a novelty

why would anyone go and see it?

Why would anyone see anything?

Not an answer the my question, you answered someone else’s question

It was much better than Brave New World

capeshit fatigue is real and this is the proof

This is a good point, Blap4 had more of a marketing budget, more of an actor budget and more cgi
Id imagine Thunderbolts made much more money despite selling fewer tickets

Well if you've been served a pile a shit to eat for years eventually even if they bring you a steak your gonna assume it still is going to be shit

Good point. In the case of superhero movies I imagine normalfags see there's a new batman/Spider-Man/superman movie coming out and because they've actually heard of and maybe like those characters they're interested enough to go and see it. You can't just come out with the Fart-man movie and expect anyone to know who the fuck that is or have any interest whatsoever.

Calm down, lol. Any actress who gets naked constantly for our pleasure should be praised, not shamed.

up and coming mcu character

already looks like a grandma

No. Disney nets 2 billion dollars per quarter, after these losses. The losses are just the cost of trying to find the next six gorillion dollar IP that can sell in all of their business units. The capeshit situation will continue until (((producers)) have another meme to sell to (((execs))) as the current thing.
I'm sorry, but your favorite YouTube grifter is lying to you about Disney's financial situation. Unless it continues for another 5 or 10 years, it's not really that big a deal to them. Hopefully you didn't paypig.
