    Anyone searched their area for Endgame Bring Back Event starting Friday? It looks to be VERY limited in my area unless some theaters didn't post showtimes yet.

    It's a pretty standard community rule that in forum take trumps all PM's as a fair way to resolve these types of issues since the public message timestamp cannot be disputed. Timmay - You could have written "take it per PM" in the thread which is another fairly standard community practice (wish I took the extra step to write that as I alluded to in my PM to you). Sorry but I am not manning these forums 24/7 and I'm up at 5:45 AM local time this Monday morning. Very classy calling me a "chump" via PM.

    Production costs were probably north of $200m. Better to get as much of that back as possible - there's no way they don't release it and just swallow that cost. Not like Disney (or any studio for that matter) doesn't have its own share of flops. As bad as 2015 F4 was (another Simon Kinberg disaster), it still pulled in $167m globally. DP should make at least that much if not more.

    Sure you can disregard the other points made, but 2 and 7 ARE the movie. I can't comment on 2. But fully agree with 7. If this wasn't an X-Men movie, I wouldn't have given it a second thought based on trailers. Now this will probably be the first X-Men movie I don't see in the theaters.

    Been a very long time since I last saw LS - but the first half of the latest DF trailer reminded me of exactly what happened in that film. I mean it's based on the same story line so how can it not be similar? The trailer only starts to differ from LS when they enter space. Loved X1, X2, FC, DoFP, DP1, even the first F4. But overall, MCU is much better than the Fox products. Loved Nolan Batman - stuff that came before it was okay, but can't even watch the trash that came after it. For years Hollywood is just trying to sell the same stuff over and over again based on name; not quality. That won't stop until people stop paying just for the name.

    I don't recall Rhodey having so much screen time and dialog relative to others close his total - must just be in the background in a lot of shots. To some degree that applies to Ratchet as well, but he did have the retrieve Thor scene.

    IW from day 33 to the end made roughly $51m North America. EG seems to be losing steam faster than IW. Also the NA gross is now higher than international and that likely won't get better with EG out of China. Unless there is a push by the fans it seems Avatar is getting out of reach. For a movie that's only been out little over a month it does seem it's be out there for quite some time. I suppose the cliffhanger effect really made the numbers heavily front loaded.

    Wanted it to be good (ie quality) - couldn't care less about "success" as far as box office goes. Is your head that just because it's X-Men it must be good?
  17. 234wallst
    LOL - X3 remake that I really didn't need. From DoFP, to Apoc, and now back to this??? Thank goodness the mutants are coming home to Marvel Studios.

    It's been known for some time that PSA cannot reliably detect trimmed cards 100% of the time. Most all cards produced are cut from some sheet. It's not impossible for someone to simulate that cut at a later date to the point it's not distinguishable. But comparing card trimming would be analogous to PLOD-able alterations in CGC world. If you are anti-pressing, graded comics are not for you. Every big book that eventually finds it's way to a big dealer will get pressed if there is any chance for upgrade. Heck even CGC has their own pressing division.

    Dark Phoenix is tracking to be the lowest (or one of the lowest) X-Men movie franchise opening weekend (North America) - so yes they are desperate. It might just barely beat out the first X-Men from 2 decades ago without inflation. As much as I'd hope this movie to be enjoyable, the trailers do look terrible. Can't wait for Marvel Studios FF and X-Men.

    Just to elaborate on what I said earlier - it could have meant "This (Stranger) Thing is coming to the MCU" - a not so clever play on words. On the other hand.. Marvel Two-In-One

    I don't watch the show and know nothing about it, but is Harbour's statement just a reference to his role on Netflix' Stranger Things? Is he just a "thing" in that show?

    I'm not a big fan of time travel plots because it always creates a big mess afterwards (and I don't mean in the movie verse - but the fan verse). But you need to take it with a grain of salt - fictional concepts don't always make sense, because they are fiction and not fact.

    I have to agree here - it presents better than the large majority of the 9.0's I hold in my collection. At worst, it's a "high end 9.0" if there is a scale within the scale.

    I posted some more photos. Bindery chip on the front upper left corner, small area of visible spine wear, some color breaking spine ticks mid to lower left. There are a couple of creases on Mags. What's interesting is the photo shows the shoulder crease to be more prominent than the midsection crease (in hand viewing it's the opposite). It's just due to the lighting hitting directly on the shoulder. You see the "white" on his purple helmet - this particular section does not show as color breaking white in person, but crease is clearly visible. In person the midsection crease shows more color break white, though very slight. The shoulder crease shows barely color breaking crease in some areas.

    In the context I think it just means no chipping or damage along the entire right edge. The top corner even looks sharp. If they were referring to any other aspect, I don't think it would explicitly state "right edge". The wrap/centering is nice too - you see the full A in Amazing, full price circle, and full text bubble - which are often cut off if the wrap is just a little bit off.
