Wonder why…
❌ Let’s NOT kid ourselves ❌
The Marvels failed because they refused to show too much flesh 😒 Imagine Brie Larson wearing superhero bikini all the film🔥
Maybe they should focus on making good movies instead of agenda driving filler for one side of politics 🤷
The house of mouse need to sell it back to Marvel
lmao 🤣
Hate to spoil the woke narrative. Women driven action films have never fared well at the box office.
Should have changed to The Marwokes
Maybe make movies badass again instead of trying to sell us a narrative or political ideals… just a suggestion.
It has nothing to do with sequels…
Why would people pay (expensive) ticket prices just to get lectured about crap?
Also, how about hiring actually talented actors instead of political agents?
I’ve been reading comic books since the late 80s here’s my take on it
1. Marvel is getting too far away from the source material. A lot of these movies in this last phase have been far off of what the original storyline was in the comic books.
2. There is too much of a woke agenda. I am a 36-year-old black male if that counts it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white or a man or a woman that can’t be the leading drive of any movie especially a superhero movie. That is what killed the last Thor movie.
3. the superhero genre is way too saturated. There are only a handful of movies that should go directly to the movie theater. Everything else should be a Disney+ movie/show can tie into the movies, but at the same time the movies aren’t supposed to feel like a filler Seinfeld.
With the next movies in phase 5, we can get back on track
The MCU was never comic accurate, it was literally a mix of The Ultimates and 616 universes
Problem isnt the accuracy, its the decisions they are making
You can make good decisions without needing to be accurate, Blade for example wasnt like the comics but made such an impact the films became how he ended up in the comics since
Would you go see the Daytona 500 if ALL the drivers were women? Probably not. So why would I want to go see a super hero movie with women as the main and only heros? BAD MARKETING! I’m surprised they didn’t introduce a trans hero. LOL!
The critics said it was horrible and the audience said it was worse.
Instead of pandering to women Disney should make better original content.
They’re pandering to a very tiny group of women. The audience for superheroes is mostly men.
Hire real talented people to make movies and not box tickers. BINGO.
The villain in this film is the least talented actress I’ve seen in any film not just MCU.
One reason is the masculine energy within the female form. Nothing wrong with it per say, but it doesn’t resonate with most people. That’s why Wonder Women will never be as popular as Superman, and why Ken will never be as popular as Barbie.
ITS TOO FUUUUCCCCKKKKKKIIINNNNGGGGGG EXPENSIVE!!!!! They should just go see their own damn movies!!
I’m not sure why the law of diminishing marginal returns wasn’t applied BEFORE they spent money on the “next” sequel. C’mon guys. Stop kicking this horse! It’s about dead already 🙄
😂 this is what Marvel with a woman’s touch looks like 😂😂
😂 and star Trek is just as bad
It’s NOT about reboots…it’s not about fatigue…it’s about the woke agenda.
