Even without COVID, there's no way that it would have pulled in a billion + at the box office. They'd have been lucky to barely break even. It just wasn't that good of a movie. Nothing against Florence Pugh as I'm sure she's a fine actress. Yelena just isn't an interesting character in my opinion. We've already seen Black Widow. Yelena is the bargain basement/budget/clearance sale Black Widow ripoff. All of those films were flops too lol. That high of a budget does work against being a hit and helps it be considered a flop. I enjoyed Yelena but I will say, I felt they had her whooping Hawkeye a little to much and I wasn't feeling he was pulling punches. And yeah, I thought that a bad example. But I hated Birds of Prey and didn't think either Suicide Squad was all that. Still watched them! And they did give us the much more fun Peacemaker. 2

I didn't think she was a bad character either, just not an "A-List" level. I don't think she's an interesting enough character (along with the others) to carry a film though. 1

Like I said earlier, we already had the OG Black Widow who was done far, far better. Yelena is bargain basement/discount Black Widow. 1 1

Incredibly weird choice. 2

The original is still available for public viewing (presuming the author didn't edit or hide the post), as are any quoted copies of the original (quoted material isn't altered if the original is later edited). That's why it's not a violation of a rule, and why moderators have to make subjective determinations of whether the use of the ability to edit quoted text crosses any lines (libel, for example). In and of itself, it's just another tool for communication, and no more actionable than quoting individual words, or quoting a sentence, or only editing to add italicization/boldface/underlines/strikethroughs to draw attention to them. The intent is what is and should be examined, not the editing itself. 3 1 1 Get busy living... or get busy dying. That's goddamn right.

What’s the punchline in someone editing a post to reverse the OP’s statement? It’s just trolling. If someone took your post here, quoted it and edited it to look like an announcement of new power sets and posted that, would that also be OK? Edited October 8 by TTRPGWhiz 1
