Because they believed they had a hit Happens all the time. Marvel thought The Eternals was going to win them all kinds of awards and set the new standard for superhero movies - how’d that work out?

Yes - a studio doesn’t spend almost 200mill on a throwaway movie. They do it on a movie they believe will make them money. They also don’t heavily promote a movie that think will bomb. They quietly release them without wasting tons on advertising, or sell them to streaming services in order to recoup some of the money.

Really? They thought it was good and that the audience would come out in droves to support it

Sort of, yes and no. They do have to make a movie every 5 years - so there is no reason to rush out junk like Madame Web. The next movie is Kraven, which does not look as if it’s going to make stacks of anything (could be wrong - just going by the look of the trailer). If this movie was really just fodder, they wouldn’t have spent so much on it nor would they have spent so much on marketing. No, they had hope. The real truth is Sony has been chasing after Avengers money. They originally said that they wanted their own spiderverse to accomplish this - which is not working.

Geez 6mill for the 2nd weekend. This thing may not even break 50mill total

@ThaOGDreamWeaver I think you may be on to something. This movie is a huge bomb, and I bet people will be curious as to the why/how Sony should put together a documentary about it and recoup some of their losses.

As more info is starting to come out, I’m even more confused as to how this was approved to be made According to one of the actresses - this was an origin story, which is why you didn’t get to see the characters in costume or using their powers (for more than a minute or two, total) Now the writer/Director says - this was a different type of origin story where there was no need to show their origin or how they got their powers Mmkay.

Snarky has got to be approaching the limit to how many of those can be put on one person

I only hope the mods ban you from even mentioning patrol xp for 6 months after this poll is over 😎

Those damn Luchadores I knew they couldn’t be trusted!

You’d think - but I’ve run plenty of ITFs with teammates who would have been in a world of hurt if someone on the team didn’t have something to help with end issues. Ive a feeling some people build with the hopes that there will always be a teammate capable of “hiding” their weaknesses

Believe it will be the 2015 version.

Soooo, does this mean you guys are out on Avengers: Secret Wars??

I gotcha I think Civil War was a great example of the MCU telling a bigger story You had Avengers 2 with Tony creating Ultron. By the end, everything was good, but the groundwork has been set. Then came Civl War and the difference in philosophy between Tony/Steve, which was partly caused by Tony during Avengers 2. By the end, the Avengers were fractured. Then we got Avengers 3. Looking back, you have to wonder would Thanos have been successful if the Avengers faced him as a unit, instead of 2 separate teams. We sort of got the answer in Endgame. Too me, Civil War was a great movie and a vital part in bridging the story between 2 and 3. It took Tony/Steve from a disagreement to a full blown war - which helped keep both sides from looking like spoiled children in part 3 I know. Kinda rambling, but I’ve been a lifelong Marvel fan and phases 1-3 were dreams come true for me

A lot of people didn’t like Iron Man 3 - but I did. Seemed like they were trying to do too much in Pt 2 - intro Black Widow. Push towards The Avengers plus the drunk Tony Stark storyline. Civil War was great imo - up there with Winter Soldier as one of the best non-Avengers movies of the first 3 phases.

Seriously? These forums consist of maybe 10% (if even that) of the player base. Even if everyone voted the way you want them too, that doesn’t take into account how the vast majority would vote.

Glad you enjoyed it. I tried watching it on streaming. The first 30 minutes or so, I was like “this isn’t horrible. Not great, but not Thor L&T levels of trash”. Then they visited the musical planet and I turned it off. THAT was an odd decision, and one that immediately sent the movie into a category worse than L@T. For the record - I really like Quantumania. I did think they dropped the ball by jobbing out Kang, and thought some of the effects were a little iffy, but still enjoyed it enough to buy it on Blu-ray to add to my collection. The issue with Marvel now vs Marvel then for me is just how bad the bad movies are. Not all during phase 1-3 were great. For me, Iron Man 2 and Antman 2 were the worst. Yet they still weren’t unbearable. Compare that to Eternals, Thor L&T and Marvels (sorry, I know you liked it). They hit new levels of bad. But hey, every movie ever made appeals to someone.

Maybe he was one of the AFK MMs

Nah If they are good, I want them to go on forever

I would have replied to their email with “Damn, I was about to ask you for some influence!”

No offense @Ridiculous Girl bur when I’m dropping everything I get for farming into the AH for 10inf - the last thing I care about is whether someone is able to make millions off another player, who may not know better.

Now if I could just have someone else pay my bills for me….

1386 entrants. Forced to spend 15sec looking at each one, would be almost 6 hours lolol

In a different thread, he was asking about how to play and not run into or interact with other players. I had suggested just installing the game himself and not playing on a public server. Unfortunately I know it was possible since the code is out in the wild, but have no clue how to do it myself- which is why he is asking.
