The Marvels Was Doomed From The Start

The Marvels is the WNBA of movies. The audience it was geared towards didn't see it so the audience it wasn't geared towards is getting blamed for it's financial failure

Speaking of The Incredible Hulks opening weekend: $55M in 2008 is worth $78.6M in 2023

And the irony is that, as women, many of us don't want to see any of these films that are supposedly directed at us.

It astonishes me that we got a movie that nobody wanted or asked for, and then the director calls fans toxic for not going to see it.

Let's face it - we were looking forward to The Critical Drinker's review of The Marvels more than we were looking forward to watching The Marvels

What the MCU failed to realize about their female characters was it’s not the superpowers that make audiences fall in love with a character. We fall in love with Peter Parker because of who he is as a person and then he gets superpowers. Their female characters are built around their powers not their personalities. Like we’re supposed to be impressed by what they can do not who they are.

I agree, especially how Hulk took 10 years to master being normal in his hulk body but She Hulk took no more than a minute... It really felt like they wanted to quickly cut to the chase and rush things

Disney convinced itself that the reason why good directors and good writers were successful had nothing to do with their hard earned skills, and everything to do with them being given the unfair opportunity to make big budget flicks. So they got rid of everyone who knew what they were doing, hired in a bunch of diversity hires to prove that anyone can be a big success... and proved that maybe there is some skill required when it comes to crafting a compelling story.

You can tell a movie is gonna bomb when everyone is more excited for the reviews than the actual film

"Do our movies suck?" "No, it's the audience who are wrong"
