It looks fun!

 

[jack]

Sure does!

They had me at Kamala's parents.

Ms. Marvel was the best Phase 4 project and I look forward to seeing Kamala again in this! It's a well done teaser trailer.

Does seems really early though as the movie doesn't come out until November but I'm not a MARKETING EXPECT.

[Dr Dave]

I'll watch it when it gets on Disney+.

Miaow choke dead.

(But it's the kitten killing you.)

Brie Larson continues to wear vests!

 

[StarMan™]

I predict this will do relatively well and only lose $100 million.

I was trying to be nice.

 

[The Question]

I thought they pulled this due to not wanting to drop any more turds.

 

[Volpone]

Well, they've got "Bolivian White and the 7 Racially Diverse Mixed Gender Magical Creatures of Assorted Heights" greenlit and in the pipeline for 2024, so I guess not.

Fair point, though I'm hopeful they'll flush that floater, as well. I'm pretty sure that even with the stolen title, nobody's going to pay to watch that.

The first Captain Marvel made 1.1 billion (and is the 31st highest grossing movie of all time), this won't make as much obviously with the MCU not as hot and being post covid, but even if it makes a third of that it isn't going to lose a hundred million dollars (unless they've seriously blown the budget.)

Nah, a movie about 3 racially diverse chick superheroes no one's heard of and have lame powers and their racially diverse chick villain that no one cares about should be a box-office goldmine. :marathon:

[EDITED TO ADD:] While we're on the topic, the Infinity War arc was a brilliant strategy for their first series of movies, but I think it actually hurt the franchise in the long run--even if the studio hadn't gotten increasingly woke. At first it was cool, seeing Iron Man and Captain America and Thor and The Hulk and how it all fit together. But eventually it gets to the point where you're like "Jesus, I guess I gotta go see 'Ant Man' and 'Dr. Strange' and chick 'Captain Marvel' so I don't miss out on something important to the story." You start to resent it. So once it's all wrapped up, 1) they've burned up all the big name heroes. Iron Man is Dead. Captain America is old and retired. So there like, "here's Ching Chang and the 5 Rings! Here's Elementals! They're interesting and cool!" But they're not. Meanwhile, you don't want to go for fear that you're going to get roped into another decade of having to go see all these movies so you don't miss out on the Big Story. On top of all that you're stuck with all the DEI that they're determined to cram into what are literally comic book stories.

I fully expect this will be the second most popular MCU movie starring an actress named after a cheese.

Bump for anyone who's seen it but can't find this thread.

Well, I guess I undersetimated how much people are turning against the MCU as it isn't tracking well (and to be fair TO ME I think I made that post before Secret Invasion sucked.)

I might see it on Saturday, already seen the mid credits scene on YouTube.
