  1. The fact that you even have to suggest this, makes me so sad, because common sense is definitely dead.
  2. Or, and I know this is a stretch, they could just read CGC's main website...
  3. Wrong again - as the Infinity Saga is the only thing that strung the casual fans along. Obviously you didn't pay attention to those movies, since they all played a part of the series (aside from 2008's Iron Man). And, you're wrong again, as no over-arching story is not going to compel the casual fans to see something like The Eternals. The bolded is, again, incorrect. Your bias is extremely transparent and leads to a lot of incorrect sentiments. People saw Star Wars out of duty exactly as people saw MCU films. Nobody really cares what happens to characters after Phase 3. There's doesn't appear to be a lead-in to anything. The superhero thing's been played a couple dozen times over the last decade and the honeymoon phase is over. The MCU has not "captured the world's imagination" by being an unimaginative recycled prototype. You can't even refute it.
  4. Lol. Marvel Studios isn't a draw by default anymore. With the Infinity Saga over - there's no umbrella threat and MacGuffins to tie every movie into each other. Nobody is going to care about the MCU other than "hardcore fans", now, so your comment regarding "other superhero universes" is moot. The MCU is not its own genre. You're so biased that you're just making s^&* up, now. Get a grip on reality. Marvel has no more "content to mine from" than any other studio with published works. Another moot point, though, considering that they make half of their stuff up anyways. More Marvel bias. They haven't "captured the world's imagination" because most of their movies are predictable. That's what made Thanos, Infinity War, and Endgame unique. They didn't draw from the blueprint. Even as good as The Winter Solider was - it was the same carp as the rest of the MCU. Not sure how you don't get 4 out of 2 + 2. Disney+ = more time and money. That's called stacking fatigue. Common sense, dude.
  5. I don't think so. Superhero fatigue is setting in. With Phase 4 looking mediocre-as-Hel, and Worlds of DC having no direction, there isn't much draw to these things in the short-term future. A lot of the previous "built-in fan base" is losing interest, what with only 5 upcoming films, and the homework required via Disney+. They're not gaining traction - they're losing it. The cast doesn't matter. The director doesn't matter. Add to the fact that it's more new characters, those of which people simply don't know, and those of which people can't empathize with... It'll likely make money from HxC fans who don't wanna miss a beat. Otherwise it doesn't have any draw.
  6. I have a mini-axe that I summon like Stormbreaker to chop it up.
  7. Yeah, I don't see how a press is gonna help here on this one. 9.0ish IMO.
  8. Yes, that's correct. CGC will encapsulate it under a Qualified label unless otherwise requested by submitter (you).
  9. I did already watch Batman: Year One. The last half hour or so was really awesome.
  10. I don't think that The Eternals will get close to $1 billion.
  11. I think it's good. The main difference being that Bale opened his mouth when he spoke. He's also English, so I wonder if that limits has vocal range. Batfleck speaks more from the throat with his mouth closed (when he's not wearing the "interrogation suit"). The Dark Knight was my favorite movie for a decade (until I saw Infinity War).
  12. That's what I'm sayin'. The CGI was realistic. The design was just 'off'. I thought the final look, before he was killed, was great. He was just too Earthly-looking coming out of the ship. I think they should've done something with the transformation of human hair into rough spots on his body or something.
  13. Yes, I am the artist formerly known as TwoPiece. I wasn't issued a ban - just changed my username.
  14. By "search notification", do you mean Saved Searches?
