''TLJ still made $1.3 billion and the next will probably do the same or better'' No it won't.
Sure nobody can REALLY predict what is going to happen, but the facts are that the fanbase is split and that loads of people didn't like TLJ. It killed alot of hype and interest for Star Wars. Sure some people will keep sticking with it and go see Episode 9, but I don't see it getting the same box office or even better. Only if JJ REALLY nails it and fixes everything bad. Its going to be one hell of a job to pull that off.
I don't think so. I don't think people are really excited or hyped for this movie. I know my friends who are die hard Marvel fans that don't care about it. I don't care about it. We'll see how much it makes.
Disney is sitting pretty right now yes. But they should be mindful of their franchises. Just look at Star Wars to see how quickly something can fall. Star Wars is a 40 year old franchise, kept alive by loads of die hard fans. Only took 2 movie to kill the hype and another one to kill interest all together.
I don't think there is enough pressure on Disney. Even if CM sucks ass and get the 'Solo' treatment, Avengers Endgame will still come up after that and everyone is going to see the fuck out of that one. Probably forgetting CM exists at all. It will be a problem however, if CM shows up in Avengers Endgame just for the sake of saving everyone and defeating Thanos. If that happens you can kiss the MCU goodbye.
You are right about Dumbo, Aladdin and Star Wars. Those franchises are not looking good.
I agree.
It has everything to do with their ability to act. I never liked Brie Larson in anything she's done.. while I liked both Winnick and Strahovski.
Maybe its because I am not American (however I watch hundreds of US films and series), but I didn't notice anything wrong or weird about his voice and I can't even recall what his voice sounded like. Only watched it once though.
Well sorry, English is not my native language. Doesn't change the argument.
Concentration camps mean imprisonment of a group of people without charges of a crime. Since I last checked, being illegal is a crime. Hence the word illegal. Case closed. I can't believe I even need to explain basic stuff to you. But there you go. Now you can rest and sleep easy, knowing your learned something today :)
Damn, you are making some valid arguments. The task of a government is to take care of its people. Provide safety and prosperity. Thats literally its number 1 job. Its not the task of the government to take in the rest of the world to make their lives better. lol.
They certainly do not. The British invented them, not Nazi Germany. During the Boer Wars. However, even if you compare them to the British concentration camps, its still 100% inaccurate. Not only inaccurate, just very ignorant and dumb. If you think making a fool of yourself is entertaining, then please go on. I've said my piece.
Such arguments, many wins. Wow.
Well I don't pretend to know things other people don't know. But in this instance I would say yes, I know stuff that user eYeDEF doesn't know. Because if he knew the true horrors and madness that happend in concentration camps, he would know that even using that word in this context is absurd and harmful. He would know that its not a fair comparison and hugely understates what actual concentration camps were like..
If you favor people based on their skin, its racism. Clear as it is, that is what racism means. Affirmative action is also racism, weather you think its good or bad. Thats just what the word means. Quotas based on race is also racism.
I like diversity in ideas and character, because that is what being human is all about. That is what Martin Luther King wanted. For people of all colors to be judged by their contents of their character, NOT by their skin. If you hire people and you take race into decision making, you are being racist. Even if you have the best intentions (like furthering a group that is underrepresented). If you keep hiring colored people because you think there are too many whites, you are being a racist.
If you keep hiring white people because you think they are better than colored people, you are being a racist. You can't force individuals to stop being racist. You have to educate them. But for a government or company to enforce laws (like quotas) that mention race is just taking it too far.
Keep focusing on race and racism will never end..
I find it funny that so many Americans were shouting they woud leave if Trump got elected. So many celebrities cried over this. Where are all those people right now? Yep, still living in the USA. And now even more people want to come over. Its funny to see. If the USA is soooo bad under Trump, why is the USA such a beloved destination?
Russian bots xD wow. The Russian bot conspiracy is just as stupid as the Soros-Zionist shit I come across on the internet. Everytime someone brings 'Russian bots' up in a conversation or discussion I just shake my head and leave. There is no point is talking to people that actually believe the Russian bots thing is real. Sure there are Russian hackers, but this whole bots thing is just bullshit. Everyone with a different opinion than you is a Russian boy? Grow the F up. Stop being a special snowflake.
Trump's concentration camps? you must be out of your goddamn mind... I study history, especially the second World War. To even compare this to concentration camps is hugely offensive and downright inaccurate and harmful. Its a shame really and I do feel bad for you, to be this ill-informed and ignorant. I hope you actually learn some history someday and widen your world-view..
I agree. I think looking at the reviews and reception, that the movie is overrated.
I don't believe that. Every story needs a purpose and usually has one (except TV drama soaps that keep going on for 1000 years). Eventually people will stop watching if its not interesting enough. 20 seasons of just people going on their day to day business is boring a fuck and you can see it reflected in the viewers of TWD.
I stopped watching after season 4. I absolutely loved this show, but its story is becoming very pointless with no end-game in sight. To make it worse they announced to keep going for like 20 seasons. What stories are they going to tell? Group finds safe place > safe place gets overrun/compromised > go on the run > people died during this, they find new people > find new safe space and rinse and repeat. Its the same shit every season and I can't be bothered to watch the same shit every year.
What ever the hell happened to finding a cure? To finding the purpose of all of this? Its become like a soap drama on tv like As The World Turns or something.
