I know I'm right about that. But I'll tell you later after the auction is over. How many Action #1 owners read most of this stuff lately? Or the big boys...the big collectors...?
-
Jack Wright. Talk about underrated...maybe his first appearance in print or something could be affordable...I'd want it !!!
-
It's not a Benny Hill comic.
-
...and that's also a general question. Advertising is good. But mentioning something controversial here isn't a good idea, right?
-
I'd like to post something here about a comic in the upcoming ComicConnect auction. It's related to Action #1 in a way...it's not a normal book...the price could be anything. But it's better to not say anything here, right? To ruin the mystique of it...by getting strong opinions going here. Correct?
-
This reminds me of how the media was always lumping in Shazam 1 with Aquaman 1....referring to them as resounding successes. Even though A1 tripled S1's box office. Now you're lumping in A2 with movies it beat, even doubled....despite all the others getting media hype, advertising, grand opening premieres, and 90% positive reviews during the first week to help them along.
-
All the numbers are obviously lies. LOL like it's a coincidence that the movies the media praises start out high on Rotten Tomatoes...and then go down after 2 weeks of release if the wind blows wrong. Etc., etc. I 100% knew ahead of time for an absolute fact that the media would love Blue Beetle, Ezra's Flash, Robbie's Quinn, The Marvels...and hate Aquaman 2.
-
It's 2024. Things are different now. The big movie studios don't make their money from the box office and giving the people what they want. Aquaman 2 is a product from a few years ago...and we know how the superhero game is obsessive...A2 was targeted for destruction for over a year. LOL never in history has the media trumpeted quotes & misquotes from the star of a big movie that he's done and doesn't care about the movie. Lies & lies & lies about audiences walking out of test screenings...with ZERO pushback from Gunn or anyone. No premiere. Only 1 YouTube ad that didn't get promoted. Not to mention how the reviews are such blatant lies. Conservative sites all lied for rage-clicks. While saying Godzilla is a good movie.

At $512M, Wonka is considered a huge success. 90% RT score its first couple weeks to help push it along...as I predicted. I predicted that every superhero movie preceding Aquaman 2 would be at 80-90%...and every movie going up against A2 would be at 80-90% (like Color Purple, 86%)...and of course I was right. A2 is considered a huge flop at $379M currently. Even though it had no advertising budget.
-
Interesting. Only a 12% weekly drop when given a chance. It's fascinating how in the US, government & media suppresses non-wokeness. While in China, a far worse country...they don't notice that A2 isn't waken, and they focus on higher-profile things to battle us.

It's got legs...considering how the media despises it and bashes it 24/7 for the last year. While heaping love on every movie going against it. And heaping love on every other superhero movie. And how there was no advertising, no premiere event...nothing.
-
Thor was underwater battling Black Manta ?
-
I know it's not saying much...but A2 will obviously pass Black Adam easily. What if the media would have hyped up A2 ? And can you imagine the media trashing Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, Blue Beetle, Flash, Shazam, Black Adam, The Marvels, The Batman for a year...saying what utter garbage they are LOL ? And saying what absolute trash Superman Legacy is going to be.
-
The media is publishing every statistic to make Aquaman 2 look as bad as possible. But it's clearly going to pass Black Adam easily.
-
Barely. And then A2 beat Wonka the next day.
-
It's blatant LYING, like I said. Reviewers who never mention politics...I saw 1 guy - I'll say who, Tyrone Magnus - pretending to be passed-out for the first 3 minutes of his review video...and then heavy breathing saying how he never notices politics, but Aquaman 2 was SO horribly preachy leftist about global warming that even he couldn't stand it. Blatant LYING. Trying SO HARD to get people to not watch it. And everyone in the comments agreed like sheep. Obviously the truth is...the media DESPISES the fact that the global warming is purposely done by Black Manta with ancient Atlantean fuel...and not by us normal humans. In ANY OTHER movie...the evil global warming villain would be a normal businessman.
-
Yeah. The year of media trashing of Aquaman 2 was a first. It's like they laid down the law...a stand. If anyone dared to promote it...they'd be smeared very badly. Probably with a court accusation dug up from somewhere. It was seriously that bad. The media is not happy about all their favorites failing.
-
You don't see the difference in the media?? Or see the difference in the director & 3 leads??
-
Preferring Marvel...isn't an acceptable answer either. I won't mention CGC again...if...you at least post a reply that doesn't say I'm wrong. About the media (and I mean all of them) absolutely despising & burying Aquaman 2.
-
Black Manta's scientist and submarine Captain are both Chinese. I'm sure this rubs the media the wrong way.
-
That was a 1-second freeze-frame. Everyone in the theater I was in laughed.
-
It's100% obvious that box-office revenue isn't how Disney (and spreading) gets paid for their movies. That's like saying Congressmen geniusly saved up their $74k salary and brilliantly bought an Action #1 NR MINT in the 80's. Or discovered the Church collection.

Man in 1990...I could have acquired some good stuff for cheap...
-
I'm fascinated by first mentions & first images of characters that pre-date comics. In comic strips. Or better yet...in very old books. I feel about this like how I felt in 1990 when I first looked at the Overstreet Price Guide. Fascinating...but impossible to actually know or find what's actually out there existing. Maybe a business idea is a website for this.
-
Boscoe..."I don't know" isn't an acceptable answer. I want you to give an opinion. So I'll ask again: Why do you think CGC's headline 'Upcoming December Comic Movies' article was all about Wonka (which obviously isn't even a comic)...with no mention of Aquaman 2...??
