Eh. Brolin as young TLJ made sense but plotwise, it's a mess.
Evangeline Lilly's cool and all, but I want to live in the alternate dimension where Rashida Jones accepted the role instead
Wonder Woman came out in the middle of summer, was expected to not do so well (because of two poorly received prior films), does not have the MCU, and a variety of other factors. There hasn't even been a trailer out for Captain Marvel to judge audiences. Saying there cannot be a billion dollar Captain Marvel, as of right now, is kind of crazy.
Solo, yup. To be fair I think it looked better in the theater. Might just be crummy image quality in the GIF.
Maybe it does look a little off in the movie too though. I'd have to rewatch to confirm!

Deadpool 2 maybe but I remember everyone thinking Warner Bros was sending Wonder Woman to die with the lack of marketing for it. There were a lot of articles about it the month before it released. WB got pretty lucky it ended up being so successful from word of mouth mainly

Well, maybe. It definitely was true until a month prior to release, then it seemed like WW's marketing kicked into high-gear, but yeah, before then Justice League was getting more promo.
AM&TW didn't really seem like it even got any marketing push until the last couple weeks before release, once they had the premiere and press screenings and reviews went up.
I saw ads for it during the Stanley Cup and NBA Finals but yeah, the push didn't go in force til I wanna say after Incredibles 2 was out
Now that I think about it, is Mantis the only female hero in the MCU that isn't doing the hard as nails overly serious badass thing?
Feels like thats really hurt MCU Gamora in particular when she can be a really fun/wild character in the comics.
Basically.
It didn't even get a new trailer when they put it in front of Incredibles 2. It was just the second trailer with a re-edited ending that wasn't even released online.
I've been worrying about the marketing for this film for months now. Their were only 2 trailers, neither were really great like the last several MCU films, and they didn't even really start the push until after Incredibles 2.
It didn't even get a trailer ahead of Infinity War, the second trailer came out a week after for some reason. The first might have come out in front of Black Panther but to not have a good, new trailer ready for Infinity War is just odd. Maybe other studios were paying to get their biggest films in front of that and even Disney was like "Nah, we're good" on forking out to get AM&TW a spot.
But I guess you are right about the Stanley Cup and NBA Finals. The first trailer might have been shown at the Super Bowl as well but I don't remember, or maybe it was just Infinity War and the Black Panther car commercial but no Ant-Man.

I think Scarlet Witch is handled well, and I am one of the 5 people that like Black Widow and Hulk playing off of each other. Shuri, Valkyrie and Okoya are money
Valkyrie, Shuri, Okoye, Nakia, Witch, they're not cold as Nat or Gamora, Hope just broke it after she got her suit.
Carol is likely to be the fun badass.
Y'know, I would totally ship Valkyrie/Okoye. That team would get shit done with a quickness then have time for each other afterwards.
Valkyrie feels like she could work well with a lot of ppl lol
And Okoye the biggest badass in MCU now. If they somehow made her bring down Thor in a film, I would buy it.
Danai destroying those dudes in the casino had the biggest crowd pop I've experienced since TDK
She needs a solo film
My people have been in hiding since Spider-Man 3. We must be redeemed. October is ours.
Depends post A4
I didn't add Gamora because of that either.
Man, I want to believe but Avi Arad has had a hard on for Venom and I get the feeling he's gonna fuck it up.
Your still not gonna get the Venom you want so why do that to yourself?
That is the Venom I want though.
I'll take Grace's more interesting foil to Peter over whatever the heck Hardy is going for.

Because at the very least he get's to watch a halfway decent movie.
That decent half doesn't feature Venom. That's a waste of time.
I'd rather have a decent film without a shit Venom than a shit film with a good Venom. And Venom 2018 looks like it's gonna be a shit film with a shit Venom, so...
That's fine but if your there for Venom you might as well just watch the last 15 minutes, but then you might as well see the solo movie.
The last 15 min of Spidey 3 still seems leagues more entertaining.
It's an ok conclusion to Peter and Harry's story arc. It didn't matter for anyone else.
Has more to do with Sony's history with Spider-Man films without Marvel or decent creative like Rami or Lord & Miller in the driver's seat.
The second trailer didn't get me super excited either to be honest. As much as I love Hardy.
That and Into The Spider-Verse has a lot more of my attention.
Hey, at least Paul Rudd wasn't playing Justin Theoroux's character in Mute.
I think Tom has a great eye for scripts. He's a semi-practice actor, he wouldn't risk to not be taken seriously. That's what gives me hope.
best part of the last 15 mins was Peter saying I forgive you sand monster man and he just went away
like thats fine Peter but that guy is a murderer/bank robber/destroyer of public property you kinda gotta bring him to justice buddy
Yeah, Avi Arad without anyone to push against him is how we got ASM2, so I'm not very often optimistic about Venom.
It also probably doesn't help that I don't care that much about the character Venom in general.
This is sarcasm, right?
It's getting depressing that I can't tell anymore.
Antman and wasp got pretty good marketing imo. Seriously up until the release I've seen nothing but commercials for it on tv. It's just one of those movies people aren't compelled to see day 1. It'll do fine BO wise. But most people will probably wait until it hits home video or streaming.
