How Disney's stocks faltering means dey struggling financially is beyond me. Person wey top domestic box office receipts last year.

Similar thing I also find with WBD where I see people say the company is dead broke. True, the company is hugely indebted, but they still have money to finance projects. It just means they'll choose carefully what they fund and not the trigger happy burning of money they did the past years.

They just lack cashflow and are in the negative. That's why Zaslav is implementing a ruthless cancellation and cost minimisation plan. Since the unnecessary and luxury stuff is mostly taken away they'd pivot rightly and start putting the business to profitability.

E just be like this stupid CBN Naira change and policy.... People have money in their accounts but are cash strapped cos they can't easily access that money from banks. So there's tons of queues and added hardship.

you're going round and round to the same thing

They are losing money...
You think losing $4bn last year from streaming alone is normal?
Or stocks losing almost 50% value?

Covering up loses with some hit movies doesn't change that...
They also lost big in some of their animated movies

Omo....Canute has really gone far oh...

From a crybaby Christian prince to the King of both England and the Danes

Vinland Saga s2 e1-5 : 6/10
So far nothing is happening.

just watched episode 5...and had to come back to this again

How TF would you say nothing happened...
Episode 5 focused on Canute and his crude methods of eliminating his obstacles...
He uses any means possible to achieve his goals...
Even his methods have soured his relationship with Thorkell

How can you watch an episode of Canute taking over Mercia and later becoming the King of both England and the Danes...and then say nothing happened?

Quite a lot did happen...it's the first time we've seen Canute this season...

I can't wait for Canute and Thorfinn to cross paths again...

842m on 250m budget is successful not an underperformance that's over X3. 🙄Also if they had china they would have hit a billion easily but that is not even the point. Even if the cameos skyrocketed the budget to 350m Disney would have still made it happen if they wanted. Marvel is one of their biggest milk factories, should we begin to calculate the numbers they've been doing for over 10+ years? Whatever they want they'll get chief, don't even go there. 😒

Correct me if I'm wrong...but doesn't it need to make almost triple the budget to break even?

It sure did but still when you compare to the first movie, it underperformed

MJBOLT:

if someone else had made that mistake,then yes it's an error but not in your case.
Most of us wey sabi you for this section know say na your regular dose of misyarn be that,no dey use 'error' disguise.

you're saying nonsense...
It's an obvious error...wtf
Disney has the rights to MCU

Possible AOT S4P3 leaks?

We expected 2 One-hour long episodes...
But maybe 7 normal length episodes?

These guys are playing with us sha

MJBOLT:

scheduling conflict is probably another reason why the avengers didn't show up.

yeah you're right

SOZINN:
Disney is too big for these things you are saying. You think Disney is too broke to fund cameos from other avengers in Black Panther's sequel. 😂 That opening scene is just plot inconsistency.

they can tbh...
But it's still unnecessary expenses...


And the movie ended up making $842m on a $250m budget...
It did break even but you could say it underperformed especially compared to the first movie

MJBOLT:

if you had taken your own advice and shut your gutter,you wouldn't have made that error.

If you're not displaying stupidity here,it will be in the series thread.
The undisputed clown of the TV section.

the error was obvious...
I'm pretty sure if you used sense you would know what I meant...
Everyone makes errors while typing here...that's why there's an edit button

But alas you're so eager to throw insults up and down

MJBOLT:

where did you see Marvel struggle financially??🤔

*Disney...forgive my typo

Their stock price especially has dropped almost 50%

MJBOLT:

that guy talks too much,his brain and his mouth are light years apart.

why not shut up and do your research

I meant Disney...an obvious typo

SOZINN:
Marvel is struggling financially?

*Disney...not marvel
I heard their stock value keeps decreasing...
And I've been seeing reports of Twitter a few times about how they lost about $4 billion from Disney+ last year

They're still making money from a few movies like Avatar 2...but losing a ton from other movies and shows...

They have also had a ton of movies making less than expected, and the Star Wars franchise is in a mess with rumours that they want to resell it

My God!!!
Isayama is a genius wtf

Some of these have to be a coincidence? Wtf

Truly the entire show was planned from start to finish...
Even the total members of the 104th trainees to survive at the end was foreshadowed from early on...wtf

This guy is a genius...how did he cook these at 19 years of age

*Ending spoiler in the video tho

Gmajor:
isn't it weird that none of the remaining avengers attended T'chala's burial?
not even Bucky?

Marvel didn't wanna pay extra bucks for the cameo

Especially since they seem to be struggling financially

Tfw your first two kisses ended in tears so now you can't help but be on guard when a woman makes a move.

even this one is ending in tears already

Meksbig:
The reception was as expected. A lot of people complained about the gay scenes and repeated many of the talking points we've come to expect.

I wasn't active in this thread then so I don't know

But for HTGAWM, I personally fast-forwarded all the gày s enes but they didn't piss me off that much cos I did like the characters even tho I didn't like their sèxual preferences

GRIMMJOE:
considering an episode of Anime is about $100k - $150k, wouldn't it be smart business to make every episode a hit. How are they going to get 10/10 rating per episode like aot if nothing is happening.

lol...
The Farmland arc is slow paced even in the manga...so it's the same in the anime...

I read the arc in the manga years back and it's a storytelling masterpiece...

The focus of the arc is on the characters l development of Thorfinn and Thorfinn finding a new goal and cause to live for

And so far the ratings are good, so I don't know what you're talking about...
I haven't seen anyone rate it low

VINLAND SAGA is not AOT...they are fundamentally different shows...you can't compare them...
AOT will always cater for a much bigger audience than VINLAND SAGA

GRIMMJOE:
Vinland Saga s2 e1-5 : 6/10
So far nothing is happening.

character development means nothing is happening

Meksbig:
I guess you weren't on this thread when how to get away with murder season 1 was airing

I wasn't
HTGAWM S1 aired like 2015 or so if I recall

abduleez1:
What is the color of your hypocrisy?
All these ones you just typed up there is gibberish and useless to me.

So Lucifer isn't a major character in the Sandman universe and his gender hardly the focus of his being. He's easily the most interesting and most complex character in that universe. His gender is hardly even talked about but y'all made it into something huge a while ago.
Lol, na Neil Gaiman no get focus on story na. Person wey na one of the best and most respected writer in the comics game with multiple Eisner Awards.


Your defence is all noise and pointless to me. 🙄

point out where I complained about Lûcifer specifically

Maybe you're mixing me up with someone else

abduleez1:
As in ehn....
I just taya.


This is why I hate pretentious and hypocritical people roled into one.
It is black and white when it involves your least liked person but it is gray when it involves your fave.

I've said it before that I don't complain much when it isn't forced...

There is a reason I didn't complain about the gày characters in How To Get Away with Murder
And that is because they are actual characters with a developed personality...

They were not characters made solely to represent...or characters whose gender or preferences were swapped just for representation sake

abduleez1:
Lmao... It's evident you don't know what being gay means or what the gay community really stand for.

Bruh, if you're a Les, bi, male gay, trans, etc you're all queer or gay characters. No dey cap Nonsense.

Lol, because you're an hetero male and find female gays attractive, you think that doesn't qualify them as gay.
Or you think lesbian and bi females aren't gay in the eyes of an heterosexual woman?

Y'all bias and ignorance is starting to show.
We need people asking the real questions here. See okoto way these ones dey yarn.

I know the word gày represents both male and female...
But in "popular usage" in Nigerian community, we use it to represent male and "Les" to represent female...
That's what I meant

abduleez1:
Lmao... "The writer said the gender is not important and you can interpret it however you want."
If that's not an LGBT woke talk, I don't know what is.

Weren't you amongst the Wokeist commenters a few months ago when The Sandman debuted with Lucifer as a woman? Weren't you and some others screaming blue murder in this thread? Despite the fact that in the comics the Lucifer character is genderless and can be interpreted as male or female.
Even the writer Neil Gaiman said exactly the same thing this AOT writer said and Una no let anybody rest until actual book readers shut you peeps down. Most of you still used the slight LGBT undertones to subtly pretentiously mark it down.

I just dey look Una dey laff.
E reach turn of your favourite entertainment you turn Defender of the Universe.
E Ká ré ó. 🧐🧐

there is no deeper meaning to his words...
His focus is on story, not gender politics of characters

And even in the anime the gender is made clear and obvious, not ambiguous like the manga

Also the show isn't forcing LGBTQ down our throats like some Hollywood shows do...

They are characters first before their gender or sèxual preferences...unlike some Hollywood shows that tend to create characters simply for representation or to tick certain boxes...

Isayama has clearly stated that before he adds characters, he thinks of their role in the story..m

He won't just add characters because he wants a gày character or a non-binary character



Compare this to tons of examples in Hollywood including Mark's friend in Invincible, who only exists to represent

There is a reason people rarely complain about the gày characters in How To Get Away with Murder...that is because they exist as actual important characters first and have an actual personality before they are gày...

pu7pl3:
Wow...So a Lesbian is not Gay in your books?
😪😪

if the characters are female it's slightly more palatable

Kaycee7:
And a non-binary character as well.

Hange was never said to be non-binary...

The mangaka only said her gender is not important to the character and you can interpret her gender however you want.


Somehow LGBTQ promoters interpreted it to mean she is non-binary...wtf

In the anime sef she is very much female with even female voice

Meksbig:
Wasn't there a female titan that had a thing for a female character in AOT?

yes...just one lesbian...at most the other girl is bi
But that is all...
No gày character

abduleez1:
Na this thing dey amaze me. The continued clownship. I still don't understand how ppl go dey watch Hollywood content in 2023 and still no anticipate "wokeness". Stick to other "non-woke" industries. No be must make you watch Hollywood.

One Clown 🤡 that haven't played the game, also haven't watched the show and doesn't plan to watch the show still found a way to force himself into the topic just to have something to say and a nickel of attention.
It's just absolute hilarious... 😭😂😂 Na so you take desperate. 😂

Anyways, na their time and energy to dey shed tears up and down. Ppl wey get show don talk say you can cry more and don't give a fvvk if you feel alienated or angered by the "wokeness". More wokeness will come and more wailings.

I'm only interested in how you made nairaland show the clown emoji 🤡
All your other noise is pointless to me

You and Kaycee7 can keep àsslicking each other for all I care

Alas it actually worked...never used to work before

Unpopular opinion

Wakanda Forever is better than Black Panther 1.
I didn't really enjoy the first BB and I thought it was very mid. However, saying that Wakanda Forever is better than BB is not high praise.
most marvel movies and series in phase 4 are just stale, unfunny, poorly paced, poorly written garbage and this is a marvel movie in phase 4, so as they say, a snake must always get birth to something long.
The goods
the acting was mostly good, the cinematography was competent. Atlantis looked cool. The backstory for Atlantis was also good. Namor was also an interesting character and antagonist.

The not so goods
like a typical marvel movie, a lot of things don't really make a lot of sense
like;
why t'chala would keep his sickness to himself. That makes absolutely no sense
why would he also try to hide his bastard son. Who is he hiding him from? also, why wasn't Shuri aware? I know the queen was about to tell her before Namor arrived, but still, why is she just finding out?
etc etc. you get the point.


I also find it incredibly funny that the most fearsome army in the world uses spares to fight and can't easily defeat a primitive army even with the healing factor taken into consideration.
heck, even Lupita killed one of them using some sort of gun with one shot.


5.5/10

I mentioned this same thing...
Several times it was stated that the Wakandas are a world power and "the most powerful nation in the world"

Yet they kept losing to a bunch of spear-wielding army lmao...
Even Namor felt like a clown to me by thinking he could wage war on the surface world with his weak-as-fûck army lmao

If anything, it felt like some tribal warfare between two small ancient villages (with a few amateur guns and jets)

geezyk:
While trying to sound woke, you actually sound dumb, calling all Nigerians hypocrites cos majority of us are against gay shi, And yes! That episode was totally uncalled for, a full episode for fvcking old men porn, now thats cringe.

The hypocrisy is the fact that these people will tell you it's wrong to be polygamous, and y'all accepted it as truth, and now they tell you fvcking your fellow men or animals is the best, and you mfing aśślickers take it as truth, cos you see yourselves subdued to worshipping the whites.

5yrs ago, there was little to know lgtv scenes in movies, but now, they want to shove it down all out throats, they should continue though. It's not like I'm messed up in the head like y'all.

Reason Africa will never succumb to their ploys.

thank you for this...

Many Africans still have slave mentality...
They rejected our polygamy and said it's wrong...
Why can't we reject their "progressive" LGBTQ nonsense?


Honestly I don't care as much that they dedicated an entire episode to LGBTQ rubbish since I'm not a fan of the game

I'd be pissed if they took a franchise that I loved and added their woke iish

Shebi they're adapting One piece and an AOT content is in the works...
If I see any gày rubbish in either of these then I will let hell loose
