Ehhh... you may not be in the know but the priyanka thing is an.. arrangement.

Sure is! Secret is safe with me, Nick

Joe is a wild one, hence Sophie’s weight loss which you’ll see in some scenes. It’s not a bad thing, but it’s a noticeable attribute of the Selena Gomez type lifestyle.

Oh yeah I def noticed. I hope she doesn’t go the same path I did in my early 20s (well I was never dumb enough to get married that early but the wild significant other I’ve been and done it)

Somebody needs to re-create a trailer for dark pic but add all the good stuff that wasn’t in the official trailers...the final trailer should of been all money shots

 

[MeralysMystica]

Back at 5.13, there was the X-Men Day here in Italy
I went with my boyfriend in Milan, in a comic shop with a screen that showed trailer and the video with Claremont's interview, and there were also some cosplayer to made photos with.
Nothing very special, but, that wa very special they gave us very nice free stuff:

A t-shirt
A black shopper with the X-logo (the same in the back of t-shirt)
the movie poster
the characters posters (with a mistake: in the Chastain's one the slogan was the same than the others, so no reverse meaning)
and above all the Dark Phoninx Saga Hardcover (La Saga della Fenice Nera) (and that has a price of 60€)

(my boyfriend already had a old 90's edition of that story, but it was an infamous edition here in italy 'cause it had the page of Jean's death swap with the previous one!)

I love how every summer blockbuster, no matter how dark had that one wacky fun commercial that plays on Nickelodeon or Disney.

Perfect representation of what was being discussed a few weeks back. Fox has done nothing to keep the X-Men relevant with the GP, so kids and teens need something like this because they have no idea who these characters are. So yeah the ad is stupid but it makes perfect sense.

 

[Phoenix_Flare]

The sad thing is the X-Men are not teens! They should be in there mid-to late 20s and Quicksilver is in his 30s. What they should’ve done is used that promo for Apocalypse if the young X-Men played a vitol part in the story. However it’s nice to see new scenes instead of the same ole.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Well really FOX have never had any reason to sell to kids. they don't profit from toy sales and X-Men has often tried to be more mature in areas that wouldn't really excite kids.

This TV spot seems more Disney though.

When Infinity War was at theatre, i knew about its end from a 5yo kid at my son's nursery school.
So, you right, Disney has this great ability to make universal product that are loved by kids and adults, with its simple and direct style (that wasn't easy to replicate).
Myself grow-up watching disney classic and my boyfriend learn to reading with Topolino (that it Mickey Mouse comics in italy, the most selling comic book here at the time, and maybe also now).

But to reach that total audience, to make the disney way, you have to make compromise. In structure, style, story, characters. And i think that way is not the way Fox and Singer wanted to follow.
You cannot enter in a family with borderline chararcters like Magneto, Mystica, Xavier (yes, 'cause he was drug addict in Days), Wolverine (he killed humans, not only aliens) and now Jean.
For sure i, that i loved X-Men movies, don't wanna my 5 yo children watching them.

Target are different even in blockbuster like those.

 

[terry78]

To be fair though they need kids to want to see this. I don't even know how many adults are that enthused about X-Men as they were about Avengers.

I really like that T-shirt

Obviously theres no comparison as Avengers brand is the most popular in movie and entertainment these days.

As for your point about kids, I dont think Dark Phoenix is being advertised as a 4 quadrant ''family friendly'' movie that Endgame was.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Well Dark Pheonix is on the Disney Website next to films like Lion king and aladdin. you know they won't do that with every FOX movie they inherited. Deadpool would never be on there, especially if they continued with the R rating.

Under Disney marketing, there was no way they were not gonna market it towards kids too. its Disney.

This ends now

This is a misnomer.

Four-quadrant doesn’t mean two of the quadrants are just “kids.” The four-quadrants are: Male under 25, Female under 25, Male over 25, Female over 25. Eighteen to 25 year olds are not kids.

Singer, Ratner, Vaughn and now Kinberg didn’t go out of their way to make their movies less appealing to the first two quadrants, the under 25 crowd. Fox simply doesn’t know what an embarrassment of riches they’ve got with the X-men. Afterall, they’ve just been focusing on the same 3-4 characters, and having fan faves as mutes and glorified-extras.

This ends now

Lol I think the Disney marketing team is poking fun at Fox
