The flop is wiping out an entire plan for a new movie series, as the studio becomes the latest superhero studio in need of a pivot.

Oh yes, of course, my bad. The last MCU movie made so much money - don't know what I was talking about ...

NOT.

I don't want to polarize or argue. My basic conclusion, having watched the quality of the storytelling decline AND the moviegoing populace check out is: People are over the MCU. Whether it's the Sony-based characters that are also tangentially connected to the MCU or otherwise.

Yeah, it's definitely clear that you don't enjoy the MCU. I don't think anyone has an issue with you feeling that way. What I don't like to see is when content is misrepresented in titles when posted, it degrades the quality of the platform as a whole and encourages reactions which aren't based on the actual content.

As the guy who posts content 2-4 times a day because others don't, I would absolutely welcome this level of passion to posting new, appropriate, original content as opposed to complaining because the posted content doesn't meet your standard of quality.

Cool, always glad to see another user who makes an effort to submit content - I'm glad you're doing the same. I took issue with your title for this post, and I think I expressed that adequately here. Take care.

A wonderful real-world example of Cunningham's Law - my pleasure.

The next MCU movie is going to be Deadpool and Wolverine this summer. Do you think that movie will make some money?
