I'm going to be stepping away from a while to focus more on work - hours are just flying by and that may be due to spending too many hours on here recently.
With that said, posting this before the temporary leave:
Pete Buttigieg in Iowa, over an hour long video on C-SPAN:
South Bend Mayor...
Ah, didn't know #2 and that does help Gambit. It may be prolonged though so that it's accurately folded into the MCU since his character may later become a bigger player. Basically just a re-write so that it's in the MCU rather than Fox's X-Men universe.
With making the other smaller films, as...
The solo movies still have a chance, actually (but only as long as they are completely separate entities). Gambit will be stopped (possibly X23). But, I see no reason why Multiple Man, X Force, New Mutants (if the first one is a success), won't be allowed to continue. X Force is Deadpool which...
Here's the thing - diminishing box office means the property is falling out of favor.
Deadpool 2 saw a box office increase = people love the series.
Logan saw a box office increase = people love the series.
Dark Phoenix is set to see a continual box office decrease =
It is a fact that those films have low budget.
What isn't a fact -
Studios keep lowering the budget of franchise films after diminishing returns.
Find one franchise that revolved around visual effects with diminishing box office returns that didn't get the axe.
It's common practice, this...
You're looking for straws now, man.
Name one franchise that revolved around visual effects that saw diminishing returns that wasn't axed.
They're not going to keep lowering the budget of a major franchise just to keep a dying horse alive.
But, if not held back by a PG-13 rating or being confined to being a film.
What would Killmonger have realistically done and how far would he have gone?
(also in the above imagine if there was no mutant or powered person to stop him)
I don't see him as the type who would suddenly stop lashing...
Profit is profit.
HOWEVER
Realistically, they wouldn't make a small budgeted X-Men movie just to keep a dying franchise alive.
This is why Fox didn't make a small budget X-Men movie that continued 'The Last Stand.'
This is why Sony didn't make a low budget 'Spider-Man 4.'
This is why Sony...
Not in the box office range that either Fox or Disney wants.
Even if Disney didn't get X-Men, Fox would have stopped the solo films for a while and focused on spin-offs due to how DP is looking to be received and then - years down the line - look to reboot.
Any way around it DP is looking to...
Eh - doesn't seem like a revolt though (had to google).
Using advanced weaponry and an advanced group of warriors to attack a single population basically means wiping at least millions out.
Plus, what would he do after he killed millions of people? Would he let them live free lives or would he...
Hail Mary:
It wouldn't necessarily have to be Feige running X-Men. It would be completely and totally separate.
General audiences would have no idea X-Men can now be part of the MCU. General Audiences think Batman and Captain America exist in the same film universe; there is a disconnect...
They're not going to outright scrap it because:
(1) X-Men has rotating roster
(2) MCU saw phenomenal success with rebooting Spider-Man AFTER diminished returns (3rd time)
(3) X-Men opens more doors to more stories
If it's a hail Mary they would keep the universes separate. It's not going to be...
If it's a hail Mary pass - no, they wouldn't.
They'd keep the series until it was less risky to start over again AND THEN they'd start over from within the still running MCU to make EVEN MORE MONEY since the box office would quickly soar again. In your mind it's integrate or never integrate...
