Because Quantumania is worse than Eternals...................

I think Quantumania and Wakanda Forever are both worse than Eternals. 

Quantumania and Wakanda Forever share something extremely annoying: teen girl with attitude who is super amazing and can build the ultra tech gadget in the garage that supposedly drives the narrative.

Cassie built the Quantum search device that somehow opens a portal to the quantum realm.

Ri-Ri built the vibranium detection device AND her "Ironman" suit. 

Cassie and Ri-Ri are both awful. :facepalm: 

And I feel it needs to be said: Marvel these characters absolutely do not replace Ant-Man and Iron Man in your very bleak future.

First, why is the above post in the Coca Beara thread? 

I did notice grown-up Cassie’s amazing grasp of Quantum Realm theory and tech. I don’t see it as a stretch, though. Her scientific capacity follows the character from the comics. She has access to loads of Quantum Realm tech, research data, money, and supervision because her grandpa and stepmom are kind of the planet’s authority on the Quantum Realm. Finally, she didn’t build the multiverse transporter. What she built, with Hank and Hope’s help, was a two way device to send and receive signals into the Quantum Realm.  How Kang is able to remotely use that to suck our heroes into the Quantum Realm is a stretch, but it’s also a comic book movie. At the end, and spoiler alert, when Cassie opens a portal to bring back Scott and Hope, what she appears to be doing is using her device to remotely operate Kang’s multiverse transporter to open the portal again.

With Riri Williams, I see her scientific ability as a superpower, just as scientific ability was also Tony Stark’s superpower.

Bears polled higher than snakes with average moviegoers.

Cocaine Gorilla would’ve polled even higher, but Cocaine Bear is a happy medium.

That’s assuming that the ape effect is the same in films as in comics.

The gonzo R-rated horror comedy “Cocaine Bear” sniffed up $23.1 million in its opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday, while Marvel’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” shrank unusually quickly in its second weekend.

 

“Quantumania” was still No. 1 with an estimated $32.2 million in ticket sales in U.S. and Canadian theaters. But the “Ant-Man” sequel, hit with some of the worst reviews and audience scores of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, dropped a steep 69.7% in its second weekend. That’s the worst decline for an MCU film, falling faster than “Black Widow” (67.8%), a pandemic release that debuted simultaneously in homes.

 

Instead, Universal Pictures’ “Cocaine Bear” rampaged through multiplexes, scoring notably above expectations. Made for about $35 million and directed by Elizabeth Banks, “Cocaine Bear” stirred up plenty of buzz just from its title and its made-to-go-viral trailer.

Human babies actually poll highest, which is why I’d probably get advance tickets for a “Crack Baby: a 90’s Tale” spin-off

Despite being number two at the box office for the weekend of February 24, Universal’s Cocaine Bear movie opened to a shockingly impressive box office performance, making it the weekend’s real winner. Cocaine Bear is Universal’s second hit horror-comedy of 2023, following in the successful box office footsteps of January’s M3GAN. Not only is Cocaine Bear’s impressive opening performance a good sign for the February box office and the prospects of a sequel, but it also points out problem areas for Disney as it rivals Universal’s continued accomplishments in theaters.

 

Although Ant-Man 3 dropped significantly in its second weekend, the MCU film was the number one movie at the box office, with Cocaine Bear cementing a close second place. However, Ant-Man 3 wasn’t the real winner of the weekend’s box office despite bringing in more money – that title goes to Cocaine Bear.

 

Cocaine Bear earned approximately $23 million at the domestic box office on its opening weekend, which is higher than the initial projections that topped its debut earnings at about $20 million. Considering the brutal horror-comedy film was going up against an MCU film in its second weekend, the fact that Cocaine Bear's box office numbers are higher than expected is especially impressive. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania only brought in $32.2 million at the domestic box office this past weekend after initially earning $104 million, which is the biggest drop second-weekend drop ever recorded by an MCU movie.

Yum-yum said the big black bear
