Nope. It flopped.
Why? Because fake geek girls & SJW do not like comic books. Girls don't care that there's a powerful superheroine in the movie. Why didn't they see this movie the way all those girls went to see the other movies? Is it because this movie draws too much from Earth-1610? Of course not.
The reason is simple: None of the male actors released promotional selfies of their 6-pack abs before the movie opened. I haven't seen it yet & I know there are no scenes in the movie of the 3 men showing off their abs. That's the only reason girls go to comic book movies.
Making Johnny Storm black didn't help either.
SJW don't spend money on things they claim they want. Take racist fake geek girl, J. A. Micheline. who whines because the creators of the new Blade comic are white. Yet nowhere in her racist screed does she mention Blade's recent appearance in Wolverines this past April, which she would have enjoyed because that issue had some surprise out-of-character misandry in it:
Because X-23 has always been a pacifist |
This girl also complained about Strange Fruit & the hip hop covers on ManginaAlliance. Can she be more racist? I doubt it. Like most SJW she would rather censor things than have the market decide: “This comic never should have been made,” she wrote.
It's almost like she's some fake geek girl who doesn't read comics but only complains about them. But I'm sure I'm wrong. I'm sure she has a complete collection of Icon & Shadow Cabinet.
After this failure I would hope that lessons would be learnt but I don't expect it.
ReplyDeleteyou would think they would know what to do after the avengers movies but apparently not.
DeleteI'm waiting for the "it's because the comic buyers are racist" but all I'm reading is the director blaming the studio for not trusting his vision and reshooting over 40 minutes of the movie.
ReplyDeleteThey could have done what Marvel are doing with Dr Strange: no origin story, just straight in.
We already know the background, it's not like the Avengers where you need an introducing back story.
Hell, even the Hulk from movie 1 to 2 to the Avengers could be argued to be a different guy since his love interest is completely dropped in the Avengers.
I'll stop watching Thor when he becomes she (remember that scene in Avengers where Thor couldn't pick up his hammer?), I have doubts for the next lot of Marvel movies and I think like every phase, this one will get to saturation point where everyone will say "there's another Marvel movie? Big deal!"
It'll drop off at about the same time as the actors' contracts end (a new Tony Stark?) Or they transition to SJW preferred characters with She-Thor, black Captain America, etc. Of course the dropoff of interest will be blamed on sexism/racism.
they blamed us for being racist from the beginning even though we were really complaining about changes to the story. but when all the critics gave it bad reviews they wern't called racist, just us.
Deletethey will never make a girl thor movie because there won't be any 6-pack abs to get girls into the theater. that's the only reason they suffer through an action movie.
I remember Icon. I picked up a handful of issues. Back when it was legal for white guys to read comics about black superheroes.
ReplyDeletethese days, we would be accused of "cultural appropriation" just for reading it.
