is this his first rodeo? 1x this weekend gets to $200M, even the MCU's 50 shades of Grey did 2x it's 3rd weekend until the end of its run, Eternals 2.6x (aided by Thanksgiving) , even Morbius did 1.8x

 

Disney at this point.....

Dr Strange, other than his brief introduction, has been nothing more than a means to an end in the MCU. A sad state for what is imho, one of comics more sophisticated and nuanced characters. Unfortunately, he is hardly the only one.

“Nothing more than a means to an end”?

Doctor Strange is probably the anchor of the MCU right now. He arguably had the coolest scene in Infinity War, his fight with Thanos. Strange has had two strong character development solo movies: The first where he learns there’s more to life outside himself, and the sequel where he learns to put his trust in others and proves he’s the superior Dr. Strange. 

Imho, the MCU Dr Strange is superior to the comics version.

Wait. I thought Captain Marvel was the anchor since 2019.

How can Carol Danvers be the anchor when she’s hardly around, so far, in her long off-world superhero career? Story-wise, the OP character who other heroes seem to have to turn to for help the most (since Tony Stark is dead), has been Stephen Strange. Also, with the rise of magic energy and the multiverse in Phase Four, he’s kind of an expert there. 

Carol Danvers has simply not been integrated into the mainstream yet. Her first movie took place 30 years ago out of the public eye and she mostly  provided an assist in Endgame, as opposed to being a major emotional part of the story. She’s almost still a secret, story-wise, though we do know from Ms Marvel she’s starting to make a name for herself. What I’ve said about Carol is what Feige has said, that she’ll soon be at the forefront of the MCU. In nautical terms, that might be more like the ship’s figurehead.

after this disastrous weekend, $215M US & $275M Int'l seems right but Disney will drag it to $500M to save a bit of face

Nah. Its last $5 million domestic day is behind it. It may not even see another $4 million domestic day (this Saturday).

This won’t hit $500 million worldwide.

Can this be true if The Mandalorian is the only real great Star Wars content we've gotten since 2015?

Great is a stretch. Acceptable sure, but there is way too much filler to be great.

I would argue Clone Wars is pretty great. Without the foundation it laid, I doubt Mandalorian would have that impact.

Andor takes the honour for the best Star Wars anything for the last 5 years.

This outfit looks more like vintage Wonder Woman.

I think the photo I posted, blue with simple gold trim and gold belt, looks more like Captain Marvel.

Stick to the repeat viewing reviews of Ant-Man 3. Your eyes are playing tricks on you.
