            You wish. It opened bigger than Batman but ended up behind days ago. Thor is going to end up making less than Minions, it didn't even make a million more than it today

          Its not a flop in general terms of a movie and its budget. But considering Marvel's track record (prior to 2020), they should all be making a billion+, especially considering inflation. Did it make money? Yes. Did the mouse expect it to make even more? Yes. Was it a disappointment to the mouse? Almost certainly.

              It's an underperformance, but MoM making half of it's money in the first 3 days, then a massive drop after people heard it sucked, that is something they should be worried about, and even more so with Thor 4.

              They probably are going to do some damage control to try and turn things around after these movies, but let's not pretend F4 and X-Men are "very important" to the MCU when most of their earlier movies performed worse than Ant-Man's movies.

                Dr.strange and Thor are in fact worse then the alba FF movies and Deadpool with only a cameo of the xmen respected the source material and was more popular then the slap in the face that was the illuminati scene in drstrange 2.

                The layer FF movies and xmen movies were fox shitting stuff out to keep the ip.
                And when you consider litterally every shit level mcu movie did a billion or close simply for Brin part of the mcu, then it's obvious that those movies stood on the shoulders of giants.

                FF and Xmen in the mcu was their chance to start over fresh and build on the gotg and avengers and use wanda to awaken the marvels/mutants ir cause an incursion that fused the mutants world to "616" and run with it.
                I honestly think the people running marvel are deranged if the think YA and the marvels are the future of marvel.

                It's clear brand destruction tier mismanagement. Someone should be fired and blackbalked for this. If irs nit gross incompetence then it's an open attempt to sabotage the brand.

                How much evidence do you people need before you accept that normies have never been interested in the Fantastic Four, no matter how many times Marvel try? How much evidence do you need that the X-Men movies were never as popular as other comics movie franchises, and the demand for them is coming almost entirely from lifelong comics fans, and 90s kids from when the cartoon was big?

                >use wanda to awaken the marvels/mutants ir cause an incursion that fused the mutants world to "616" and run with it.
                Turning Wanda into a plot device to insert the X-Men into the MCU is as stupid an idea as turning her into a villain because it happened in some crappy old comic nobody actually liked, and inserting the X-Men into the MCU via the Chris Chan Dimensional Merge is equally moronic.

                >I honestly think the people running marvel are deranged if the think YA and the marvels are the future of marvel.
                I think they genuinely have a better chance of success with getting normies to take a chance on new characters they don't know yet, or expanding their existing successful brands like Avengers and GoTG than they do with trying to get audiences interested in reboots of Fantastic Four and X-Men when most normies have known for 20 years that they're not interested in those characters.

                If you'd said this about Thor and Wanda you'd be absolutely right in everything you say. Instead you're ranting about the treatment of the Illuminati, when even the most basic b***h normie comprehends these are just AU versions of characters and isn't getting bent out of shape about what happens to them.

                FF and Xmen that both have MAJOR brand recognition and had every opportunity to reinvigorate the brand being fricked up to prostitute teen homosexual avengers is....insane.

                I'm sorry. Everything done in the mcu lately has been a fricking debacle of moronation. Them using her powers to bring in mutants would fricking work and since their stupid ass are using the God awful modern stories they can pull am uno re else card and have her make more mutants rather then nommore mutants.
                instead of a fantasy homosexual son and incest son

                They will not sell based on being fricking new. How well has that worked with any of the new phase 3 and 4 characters?
                They threw out money in their hand for an ego stroke push of homosexual tween avengers.
                ITS LUDICROUS.
                Are you insane?

                They purposely ruined Thor wanda and decimated any future fir the fantastic four and xmen in favor of homosexual kid avengers and three b***hes named marvel.

                And you think this is not only okay but a goid thing?

                They're not going to reinvigorate the MCU with brands that audiences already know they don't care about. How is this so hard for you to understand? People have had three chances to see an FF movie, seven chances to see an X-Men movie, plus three more Wolverine movies and New Mutants. And most people weren't interested and chose not to see any of them.

                The ONLY way the FF and X-Men movies are going to do better than the Fox movies is if they cast MAJOR stars who are the actual draw.

                I'd ask if you're moronic, but you're literally asking for them to do "no, more mutants", so clearly you are.

                None of that actually goes against what I said. Just because the characters are doing shit you don't like doesn't mean they're not consistent, sincere, and capable in what they're doing. You can b***h about ideology all you want, but at the end of the day Raimi is still just a better director than Waititi and he at least had a modicum of respect for what he was doing and the source material as opposed to Waititi who was actively trying to make Thor as a character shit.

                I'm not saying Young Avengers or The Marvels are going to be hits or even what they should be doing, but when the FF has failed twice already, and the X-Men underperformed WHEN IT HAD NO COMPETITION, and the last few movies were utter bombs, you have to be deluded if you think these brands are still "very marketable". And again, how do you possibly think an X-Men movie won't be the gayest thing they've done so far? The comics have been gayer than a drag kid pride parade rainbow orgy for years now.

              No, but the woke shit in it was pretty odious, shit like KING Valkyrie, it being perfectly acceptable for Thor to get bareassed and have all the female in the film and audience ogle him, but the closest thing to a traditionally sexy woman in the film were Zeus' attendants.
              The main problem is the Thor has reverted back to being his oafish, self-centered fool from the opening of Thor 1. Shit like creating a love-triangle between Thor, Mjolnir and Stormbreaker and making that Thor's actual motivation. Undercutting Gorr as a villain because god forbid people actually be bad guys anymore. Recycling the same jokes over and over throughout the film (did we really need the goats to scream every time they're on screen?), everything is just a joke in the MCU now, because apparently taking anything seriously is not acceptable. Hell they even did their best to dismiss and joke about fricking cancer.

                Yeah, but they made that the sword was "corrupting" him, not that he actually made a conscious decision that he wanted to kill every god. Like people don't do things we think are evil because they actually have differing beliefs and experiences, no, they're "corrupted." Everyone has to be sympathetic and even have the chance to be redeemable. It's the same problem as with Thanos, they made him essentially a really over-the-top environmentalist because that is sympathetic, instead of him just being a complete psycho, who thinks murdering half of all life makes a good wooing gift.

                I don't know who ClanDestine is because I have no interest in Ms. Muslim. Yellowjacket was an angry corporate scumbag who was angry at being betrayed by his mentor (sympathetic) and driven insane (corrupted) by the shrinking tech he developed, Malakith just wanted to restore the universe to the state his people existed in before they were banished by Odin, the dark elves are basically a stand in for any displaced people and their actions are understandable. True evil isn't something you can comprehend, you can rationalise, you can try to understand motivation, but in the end a monster is a monster, and monsters are SCARY.

      It's weird, Cinemaphile and a few Comicsgate-inspired culture war sites insist MoM underperforming is entirely down to audiences hating America Chavez, and are presenting a narrative where the reshoots were entirely a failed attempt try and make her less annoying, while you go anywhere else online and the complaints about the movie seem to have little or nothing to do with her, whether it's Youtube 'personalities' complaining that it didn't have more cameos, waifuists and the female audience complaining about what was done to Wanda, fans of the Fantastic Four and the X-Men complaining about this being how the MCU introduced them, or actual Doctor Strange fans complaining about his treatment in his own movie, or just more general complaints about the script, the tone, or the action scenes not measuring up. All of those complaints seem much more widespread.

        1.People litterally make a special mention of how much they don't like the character and how poorly she acted
        2.EVERYONE knows the multimilliondollar reshoots were them fixing that disaster
        3.Everyyjing else was hated too.

        Stop defending the America chavez debacle. She was a terrible decision as a character and brought nothing to the table.

          They have killed off Gamora, Natasha, Aunt May, Wanda, and Jane Thor, in quick succession.

    DS2 was fricking low quality garbage so I can assume that thor was also dogshit. I think disney is done pumping massive amount of resources into marvel properties because they know people are tired of capeshit.

    Because all you fricking homosexuals want to pretend people weren't just hyped for all the potential cameos. That's why it had it a 450mil opening but had a pathetically small multiplier and finished below a billion when it should have easily passed that

      Cameos are just a bonus, an easter egg. With the cost of a ticket in these days, nobody goes see a whole movie just for a cameo. This honestly feels like something that "ruined" the movie for a few thousand hardcore nerds, not something that caused normies to nope out in large numbers.

        You're a fricking idiot, a liar or both. All anybody talked about leading up to this film was who was going to show up from other universes. That was where all the hype was coming from.

          By "anybody" you mean people on Cinemaphile, and nerd Youtubers. Not actual normal people who just watch these movies and don't obsess over them and speculate about spoilers and leaks. The only possible cameos from older pre-MCU movies that would excite the normie audience were the ones a Spider-Man movie had already done.

      Ms Marvel is a huge failure as a character. Attaching her to anything is poison

    DS2 was overhyped and everyone thought it was an actual multiverse movie so people went to see it to see wolverine and tom cruise iron man
    once they found out it was shit it go a massive drop

    Thor love and gay sex had no speculation or even possibility to be a multiverse jerk off session so not many people cared. also the incels were mad that mighty thor exists.

    both are dogshit

    I think it’s rich how Rami had to fight for the cheesy stare down between Strange and Mordo because Feige thought it would be too goofy, but Taika was allowed to go whole hog on making Thor into a ridiculous moron. What this tells you is that it’s not about a fear of being to edgy, it’s about a fear of being sincere. Rami wants little corny moments because they make the world feel lived in and authentic, Taika wants shitty jokes wedged between serious moments because it makes the jocks in the audience feel less embarrassed.

    The only good parts of DS2 were those where they let Raimi do his thing. Was a small breath of fresh air from the streamlined formula. Featuring America Chavez with her lesbian agenda really soured me on the whole thing though. I think I'm finally done with the MCU. Even as stupid popcorn entertainment it has gone down the drain too much. Needless to say I didn't bother to watch Thor.
