Billion Dollars - Banked


So this has done two things. It shows that even with an average movie (and Captain Marvel is average), Marvel can still hit it out the park.

And secondly, all the "Brie Larson hurt my feelz" videos on Youtube appear to have stopped.

True. But lets not pretend Aquaman and Venom were cinematic masterpieces. I'd argue all three are in relatively the same ballpark.

I didn't see Venom or Aquaman, so I can only offer that both looked utterly awful, critics didn't think much of them (especially Venom), and the only positive remarks I heard from those who'd seen either were along the lines of "it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be." Captain Marvel, on the other hand, I watched and thought it was terrific, and I've yet to hear anyone say otherwise in my day to day life. It was exactly what one wants from a superhero film, and it made for a perfect lead-in to Endgame. Beyond that, I agree with you: box office and quality are more or less unrelated, and the amount of money a film makes in no way reflects its merit.

I thought Aquaman was fun. But yeah, both Venom and Captain Marvel were bland and forgettable.

reply

Aquaman wasn't cinematic masterpieces. But it was better than Captain Marvel. For one the protagonist had a personality.

I disagree. I didn't see anything special about Aquaman except a bunch of colors during the fish battle. I don't see whats so special about his personality either.

I think a good % of them were just in it for the views and feeding off CM hype, like Flat Earth crap but probably not as many fakers.

For the sincerely hurt feelz, this was my response:

Stop trying promote your stupid tribalistic post.

At this point, Marvel Studios could put a pile of shit at end of a stick and hit it out of the park. Frankly this was worse than Thor 2. At least Thor 2 had a likable protagonist. Not a emotionless boring husk. But im sure Disney will use the money from this movie to give there park employees a well need bonus. HAHAHA
