They were never gonna let Peele do his thing.

You'd think they'd learn their lesson with Edgar Wright... But no.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

This is why I constantly weep at the fact that Ryan Coogler is not doing MCU X-Men.

And then to find out that Rogue is one of his favorite superheroes too…

You also weep it's not Matt Shakman.

Has Jordon Peele ever showed any interest in directing a superhero movie? Or an X-Men movie? Maybe it wouldn't be as good as what you are all imaging in your heads.

I saw Nope.

 

[Ninjablade]

I personally don't like any of Peele's movies, but he is an immensely talented director. I think he'd kill a franchise movie if he was interested in something like that, which I haven't gotten then inclination that he is, but you never know.

A far better storyteller and creative than Jake Whatshisface.

Doing better than him at the box office too.

Pretty sure the critics and audience score of Thunderbolts* is higher than First Steps, but even if it wasn't only one of those films is good and it's the one starring Miss Flo.

Meh, our fellow Americans like loud, colorful things. I mean look at who they reelected.

Any color is good as long as it's not brown.

Lily, you ate with this (as the kids say).

I miss Iceman on the boards I hope he's doing okay, he hasn't posted since April. I think he was going through some kind of a tough, time-consuming family situation.

Yeah I'm glad someone else brought him up because it honestly feels like it's been forever since he's posted here but I'm glad to hear he's doing well and Im definitely looking forward to his return.

These boards just don't feel the same without him especially with so many quality superhero movies out here right now and I really do miss hearing his really honest input on Marvel films.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Also as bad as the drops have been for First Steps it's still going to make quite a bit of money domestically even if it just barely ends up finishing above or under Sinners.

It's definitely not crossing $300M domestic which sucks and I'm sure the studio was expecting so much more from it but I'm still hoping for it to atleast break the $500M barrier even if it's not by much.

On the other hand though Weapons breaking out the way it is is such a great thing to see especially coming off Sinners and Bloodlines which I also very much enjoyed.

It's currently my third favorite horror film of the year just behind Sinners and Bring Her Back and it also has my favorite ending out of any film I've seen this year so far.

[SwordOfMorning]

I like FF and Matt Shakman plenty. Nowhere near as good as Thunderbolts and while Jake Schreier ain't gonna save MCU X-Men he's a perfectly fine choice.

 

[Snow Queen]

With a price tag like that, I can only assume they intend to make up box office expectations off it

Triple the price of the Supes one.

Wakanda for TV!

There was suppose to be two. One animated, one live action. Guess which survived...

Eyes of Wakanda was probably cheaper to produce than any live action series that they had in mind.

 

[Mysteryman]

I still plan to see Fantastic Four.
Not sure about the book.

 

[flickchick85]

I love Bloodlines. Love it. But I've loved the series since day one and only don't enjoy 4.

The movie that I suffered through recently, and I'd argue is the worst movie I've watched this decade, is the How to Train Your Dragon remake. It is one of the most embarrassing, disgusting exercises I can remember. It's like watching a soul of a film being removed by a director who clearly doesn't know how to shoot in live action.

I can't speak to Bloodlines, but HTTYD depressed me more than any movie in quite some time. Just a completely empty (and ugly) husk of a film. Even the worst Disney remakes brought more new moments/ideas to the table than this. And people ate it up.

Did you just insinuate that Superman fans are Trumpers?

That is not just bannable. It’s ass-whoopable.
