bentbryan Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 The new trailer looks much better than the first teaser. Hopefully the execs at Disney grind those VFX artists into dust so we get the hi def goodness we are entitled to! djzombi, Beastfeast and theCapraAegagrus 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More 'breaking the 4th wall' mess This could be the worst of phase 4 right here. Just looks horrible. Generally the trailer's are a few teaser highlights thrown together. The trailer has roughly the same amount of impact as an episode of Sesame Street. I'm going with a solid 5/10 from the get go, which is higher than Doctor Strange, win for She-Hulk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastballspecial Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I am fine with this. I like the humor and while the CGI is a little wonky the show will be fine I think. After Ms Marvel I want to see more MCU stuff and less kid stuff. Beastfeast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a personal thing I guess - I liked WandaVision and Loki - didn't like DS2 I liked all the 8 seasons of Shield - Cap #1 and Iron Man #2 bored me to tears Didn't like 'What If', Runaways or Hawk and Dove - but liked Ragnarok. Just starting Ms Marvel - which is a lot better than I thought it would be - an enjoyable watch. Just because the trailer sucks, doesn't mean the show will - but in this case...........

There have been some great highlights in the MCU moviedom, but the track record of late has been consistently downhill, and this 80% lack-lustre CGI trailer isn't giving any of us hope, that the trend is about to do a u-turn. The big hope is that James Gun isn't hamstrung for the next GoTG movie. Thats they only hope I see coming for the MCU. DC are winning across the board in their movie offerings, and there's zero indication to doubt the next lot of movies from them. If anything, they've clearly demonstrated that they can learn from their mistakes. The MCU has fallen on their sword, and then have taken to twisting the blade, instead of trying to pull it out.

While some movies like Black Adam and Shazam 2 look promising, we the fans still have no clear indicator of what direction WBD is heading. No Superman, Batfleck is out, The Flash actor is a mess, no Cyborg, basically no Justice League at all. The DC movie trailers definitely look better, but that doesn't inspire any hope that there's consistency in the future. djzombi and grendelbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big part of the MCU till Endgame is it always felt like it was building to something. Even when a movie was week or even not good, it still had a place in the narrative, so it received a little bit of a pass. Since Endgame it feels like the MCU has lost all focus, and they are taking a throw it against the wall and see if it sticks approach. I liked WondaVision (or at least the A plot). Loki was ok, but fell off at the end. I did not care for FaWS. Shang-Chi was OK. BW's final act was garbage. MoM felt like a giant wasted opportunity, and ruined one of my favorite characters. I watched the trailers and heard the reviews for Eternals and decided to skip it, which is the first Marvel movie I have skipped in 14 years. Spider-Man was amazingly (but that was Sony). I am realty trying to like wat the MCU is doing now, but from my perspective the quality has gone down. I have not watched the last 3 D+ series, because I just do not care. I really think my loss of interest stems from the last 4 movies being sub par or outright bad, and that is supposed to be the event backbone of the MCU.

I have almost no faith in anything outside of Black Adam, and that's because I am extremely partial to the character and basically anything Dwayne Johnson touches turns to gold. I can't remember many of his flops and considering it took him years to get this project off the ground, I can't see him letting this flop. Even the worst MCU offering (ie. Eternals) still made some money. On the other hand, DC seems to have no clue what they're doing. Besides their Adam, their next big movie is Flash.... and they may have to recast the guy after one movie. Unbelievable. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one can be relied on to produce quality material, irrespective of how much they spend on pre-release marketing. I did notice the TV series Harley Quinn is climbing up the rankings quickly lately. I'm not sure is it's a case of everyone else has dropped the ball, or if it's actually really good. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem, for me, truly hit home when movies and TV went from be creative endeavors meant to entertain, and even educate to being referred to simply as content. The very word devalues what entertain is and what it can be. It also should educate us what companies truly think of us, the fans. We are no longer a group that needs to be pleased and cultivated, we just merely exist to consume regardless of the quality. As long as we keep giving them money, all else be damned. I have not watched season 3 of HQ yet, but the first two seasons were great. Microchip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A movie, as an estimate, has to do more than 2.5X to 2.8X its production budget. Eternals wrapped its box office run at 2.0X which means it bombed.

Harley Quinn TAS Stargirl Doom Patrol Swamp Thing (creative crime this was cancelled) Superman & Lois Pennyworth Young Justice TAS Peacemaker Lucifer Titans HBO's Watchmen (one of the best CB shows) It's crazy how WarnerMedia allowed traditional studio execs to disrupt its movie planning. Yet with the shows you will experience these more solid performers. And even with the pending shows it will be interesting what we experience with Sandman, Black Canary, Penguin, Catwoman, Green Lantern Corps (if this ever moves forward) and Arkham. Whomever that DC Studios head is going to be, they have lot of work ahead. And a big hill to climb.
