Minemrys:

Apparently their p0or taste in m0vies and their m0ney miss road mentality led to Infinity War and s0me marvel films being a success in china going by ur theory.

Not only the dreadful Avengers:Infinity War but the horrible Fast and the Furious movies and the hot mess and migraine-inducing Transformers:Age of Extinction

chrisbaxtian:



I doubt if it is the reason or even remotely related to the reason at all. Explaining away the success of aquaman based on such parochial sentiments does a great disservice to everyone involved in the project. The movie wasn't bad, it's just surprising that an average movie would be so financially successful It cannot be explained bra! shi.t like this just happens

Then you haven't watched "The Meg".One of the worst movies of 2018 which "made bank" at the Chinese box office because it was part funded by a Chinese film production studio and had two Chinese lead characters (two of the worst actors I have ever seen).
Those Chinese midgets are slowing ruining Hollywood.

Minemrys:

how would u explain ven0m's success in china then?

The Chinese movie goers generally have poor taste in movies.
The Chinese are clearly "money miss-roads"

chrisbaxtian:


is that what you think? dude! some successes cannot be explained. it just happens like magic

It is the cold,hard truth.What concerns the average Chinese movie goer with Aquaman?Many of them may have never even heard of the character until weeks before the movies' release in the country.

Nothing just happens, there is always a reason.

TheKingIsHere:


Special thanks to China for making aquaman big

Nothing special about Aquaman being big in China.It's all down to sentiments.
Aquamans' director James Wan is an Australian of Malaysian Chinese descent and WB marketed the movie constantly using his name and face in China.

BlackManta:


It's time to eat your words.

Oya open your mouth.

SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE

One week worldwide gross..
Total: $64.8 million

AQUAMAN


Opening Weekend in USA alone: $67.4 million

I am not really surprised by the outcome WB REALLY pushed their product.
The fact that Aquaman made more cash at the box office than Spidey does not automatically mean it's quality is upto Spider-Man into the Universe.That is like saying "The Meg" is better than "Blade Runner 2049"

oyaskii:
Sorry if the tone sounded dismissive..not all movies have subtle messages you can mirror to real life, some are just to entertain the viewers knowing fully well that the scenario cannot happen in real life. Besides Avengers has another sequel coming up next year, who knows, Thanos deed (Hand snap) might be undone bringing back everyone (50% of the population) if not your argument will have it's light of day. Most people expect the heroes to win everytime that what makes Avengers infinity war such a beautiful movie...shalom

@bolded No problem.
I know the population that turned to dust will return and Thanos will be defeated.
The Infinity War movie just felt lacklustre and roughly patched together to me and i still believe Infinity War+Endgame=Thesame movie but you know_____more money for Marvel and Disney

Friedyokes:
you're not wrong

Thank you Sire

oyaskii:
Lmao is how my nigga is dissecting a movie whose characters are adapted from a comic? Do you know or understand how movie genres work?

From your dismissive tone towards my post I clearly don't.
So please all-knowing-one,go ahead and educate me

BlackManta:
A visually stunning movie like Aquaman got snubbed
as ten films remain in contention for the visual effects Oscar® and Aquaman isn’t one of them. The ten semi-finalists, five of which will make the final list of nominees, are listed below.

Ant-Man and the Wasp
Avengers: Infinity War
Black Panther
Christopher Robin
First Man
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
Mary Poppins Returns
Ready Player One
Solo: A Star Wars Story
Welcome to Marwen

How many of these listed movies had better groundbreaking and stunning visuals than Aquaman

Aquaman is arguably the most visually stunning movie of the year.

Screw the Oscars

Miggs you still think these awards are to be taken seriously.

How did they snub something like this...

Whether we like it or not,the Oscars generally gets its nominations right.
You are a DC fan, didn't Suicide Squad get an Oscar nomination for make up a few years ago?Maybe Aquaman will receive its own visual effects recognition in 2020

armadeo:



The division was purely random. No point to it that's what makes it perfect If he decided on a criteria for selection then it's pointless compared to random genocide ( for the good of all).

The point of resources have to be managed is logical too as I said but unethical.

Besides I love this pic

@bolded You sound like one of Pol Pots' lieutenants.I dont think you understand the weight of the words in your post.
This is fanboyism at its worst.

Liverpool FC will not win tonight.I see a FT 1-1 draw

BlackManta:


I know we don't see eye to eye but I agree with you.

Thanos motivation is uninspiring and the plan to save the universe by wiping out 50% of life is moronic.

Population will grow again in about a decade.
So Thanos has to snap again every 10 years.

Plus whenever he snaps, gauntlet gets damaged.

Is this what he will be doing every 10 years

Why not double food and put an end to world hunger using reality stone.

BTW the gauntlet doesn't cherry pick which part of the world to spare.
So the areas in the world with abundant food would still be cut in half.

Moronic plan.

I have seen better villains in super hero films.

FINALLY!!!
We both agree on something.

armadeo:


Thanos had a point. Resources weren't enough so he had to reduce population That's logical but unethical.

He was the most powerful being in the universe meaning he was a "god". Even thor had a hard time with him minus his hammer.

I enjoyed infinity war it was the climax of MCU. I want to say this that end game will ne the highest grossing movie of 2019 possibly of all time.

Watch and see.

@bolded That is my biggest grouse with fans of that movie.For a character to divide a whole population in two and choose a side that'll live and die without consideration of the families that'll be destroyed because "resources have to be managed" and viewers support a character with a genocidal mindset like that.Seriously,humankind is in deep poo.

armadeo:


You have to over look the flaws to enjoy the movie.

Thanos decided to personally collect the stones himself and to show how bad he was he did it in one movie. Lol.

Ita a crazy movie and I love it.

The movie was too cartooney but the way its fanboys sang its praise annoyed and still annoys me.
Thanos was even the worst part of that trainwreck.He was overpowered and his motivation was uninspiring and grotesque

mekaprime:


Lolz..Bird Box isn't as bad as they made it seem here, neither is it fantastic. The movie was just average & cliché, it was basically an amalgam of A QUITE PLACE & THE HAPPENING I think why folks here rated it that low was to get back at alexistaiwo who was blowing his own trumpet(no offense bro) on how fantastic all the movies he recommends here turns out to be.

@bolded 100% correct!

Ezenwa looks so unfit

alexistaiwo:
Coming from someone who said Infinity War is not of quality, I think I will pass.



Have a nice day.

Mtscheww!

BlackManta:


Take a time off NL and visit an internet space where you will be enlightened.

Thank me later

I would rather be imprisoned at kirikiri for 25years than ever becoming "enlightened" like you

BlackManta:


I'm all for...
Feminism
LGBT
Liberalism etc...

But I'm also a fan of equity and fairness.

Giving something undeserved special treatment just to pander to the LGBT, feminist, liberals and SJW's is NOT equity and fairness.

For instance even though I'm all for LGBT rights, I will never support Kevin Hart getting kicked out from hosting Oscars cuz of LGBT jokes he made years ago.

That's not fair, is it.?

Believe whatever you want in your mashed up,contradictory,concoction of ideas

alexistaiwo:
I am not responsible for your poor choice of movie.


Bird Box is a 9/10 for me anyday anytime.

Like I alluded to in my previous post,you know not what a quality movie entails.

BlackManta:


So you been observing my posts
How does spending too much time on western internet space make one fake
I don't agree with my foreign colleques everytime and I form my own opinion.

Infact I suggest you take a time off NL and visit western internet space.
You will learn a thing or two about western culture and it will expand your thinking faculty

Read more on SJW's, liberalism and political correctness.
These are important issues that the world is dealing with.

You are one of the most confused persons' on this forum.
You suport liberal ideas like feminism and gay rights but you also critise ideas with liberal roots like social justice warriors,black excellence and films with LGBT issues at their fore getting recognized.
You are fake,confused and not as intelligent as you think you are.

troubleseller:
Never knew Black Panther was drama. Maybe next year they will nominate Aquaman for best drama at the Globes too. It has action and is also political .

Goodluck to Aquaman.Ok bye.

BlackManta:


Mind you.. A great movie like Logan did not get a golden globe nomination during it's time.

These awards are sometimes used as tools for political correctness and SJW's.

A movie like Moonlight got undue got undue recognition just to pander to the LGBT populace in America.

So why should I celebrate BP's nomination
Is it because I'm black... Nah!

Most people agree that the movie is overrated.
It's not even one of the best 10 movies of the year to start with.

First of all,I absolutely love Logan.I believe it received an oscar nomination for best adapted screenplay yes?So what is the fuss all about?
Do you see why I think you are fake?Your posts are always filled with terms like Black privelege,white privelege,political correctness,SJWs,liberalism,black excellence etc these are terms normally used on the western internet space.I have zero interest in getting involved with their "culture wars" but it seems you aren't.
I love the Black Panther film, so do millions of people and I am glad it was on many critics top ten best films of 2018.

Shittaakeem:

Yeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeye

Continue wasting your memes.
My unbridled hatred and disgust for Avengers:Infinity War has no limit

Galapagous:

damn... what did he do to you again?
damn... what did he do to you again?
damn... what did he do to you again?

He has never really done anything to me.We had a discussion on a previous thread.Thats all.I just dislike the way he goes on and on and on about an issue without really saying anything tangible.I find it annoying and think he is fake

BlackManta:


There are better dramas this year that got overlooked so that golden globe could pander to the blacks and cover up the racism in these awards using black Panther.

Like it or not this is another kind of racism.

We have had White Privilege in these awards.
So what are we getting now... Black Privilege.

Better dramas deserve Black Panthers' nominations like what films? If Beale Street could Talk ? Sorry too much blacks in that film too that'll upset your sensibilities.
You always come across as fake because you try too hard to sound intelligent.Your views are not yours but regurgitated opinions of others you read elsewhere.

alexistaiwo:
If you talk trash about the infinity war again.

I will find you and seize your phone.


Don't even go there.

Look who is talking?A person who recommended that Netflix garbage Bird Box for folks to watch and rated it a 9/10?
Negro pleeeeeeeaaaaassssseeeeee

BlackManta:


It got a nomination for Golden globe best drama.
The movie is not much of a drama and there are much better dramas this year that got overlooked just so that golden globe could pander to the blacks and give them a sense of equality in these awards even though the movie is highly undeserving.

How best can one describe Black Panther if not as a Political,Action,Drama ?The film deserves all its Golden Globe nominations.If you don't like it,you are free to hug a transformer with wet clothes on

PUSSYHOE:
If you want to hurt someone,make them waste time and megabytes recommend 13 reasons why and altered carbon

Add WHITE FAMOUS to that list

Dotng:

Low self-esteem comment. You don't even know the politics behind Oscar nominations and the eventual awards and you are dragging racism that is already there into it. Are you still living in the Matrix?

Let the guy be.He is an advocate of the "woke" trend.There will be nothing wrong in Black Panther getting Oscar nominations in the costume and musical score categories

KoiceReloaded:
Bumblebee

Arguably the BEST Transformers film by a mile. Fun, upbeat, and more than a just a gigantic robot p*rn. 2nd best movie of the year after Infinity War.

8.2/10.

I am a fan of your ecclectic taste in tv shows and movies but I find some of your choices in both movies and shows suspect.Personally,i believe Avengers:Infinity War was an over-stuffed mess of a movie but many ignored its flaws because of the movies' nonstop fan service
