Those are the common ones. Check out gladiator, miracleman, bluemarvel, superior, etc. They are just so many copies of superman.

No doubt, Superman is the most popular superhero,so you can't blame them!!!

TheKingIsHere:
Marvel copied superman multiple times not to talk of other DC heroes. Avengers was gotten from Justice league, Eternals was gotten from Elder gods, even xmen was copied dooms patrol.

When it comes to copy cats, give it to marvel.

Hyperion and Sentry!!!

Lol... When it comes to copying, both DC and Marvel are very much guilty!!!

TheKingIsHere:
Did i just see Jack snyder's name mentioned in Shazam movie? Wahala dey o

It was in Aquaman too!

It's safe to say that Aquaman made $900m+ in 3wks right?

Minemrys:
the thing tire me oh. WB dey slag sometimes.

Ah swear!

Upnepaa:
our match tomorrow is 10:45 PM Nigerian time. God knows I won't watch it. what's up with LA LIGA and their late night matches this season.

It's 8:45pm...

BlackManta:
HBO will also be doing a Watchmen TV series.

Yeah!

TheKingIsHere:
You forget that WB also own top gaming franchises such as mortal kombat and mortal kombat x, injustice 1& 2, etc which are available on PS consoles, Android and iphones devices.

They also partner with Netflix to turn top Japanese animes into movies. E.g Bleach, full metal achelmist, etc but I don't think they are taking the partnership seriously. Sometimes I wonder if the management of WB actually know what they are doing. They have a lot at their disposal to be far bigger than Disney but here they are still lagging behind.

Disney of recent finally gave Netflix rights to air avengers and have also partnered with Hulu for streaming services partnership.

Make WB dey look like mumu.

I don't even know why they should be partnering with Netflix...
TimeWarner and by extension, AT&T owns HBO. Like, why won't they just give HBO some of their comics to produce? Imagine if HBO made TV shows like TITANS, GOTHAM, ARROW and THE FLASH...Damn!

Anyway, I'm patiently waiting for the LORD OF THE RINGS SPINOFF from HBO and the almighty GAME OF THRONES!!!

Shittaakeem:
Aswear the hate for Disney on this no be small matter
Movie Flop Disney
Poor Box Office Disney
No Oscar Nomination Disney
Poor Critic review Disney

But when Disney decided not to release star wars or push their major movies to December No thank you.

At least they should appreciate Disney for not releasing star wars December 2018.

Like the last one did so good abi?

TheKingIsHere:
Yes they have, AT&T have taking over maybe that's why Aquaman was a huge success because the WB I know before no get sense on how to promote their movies and products.

I just pray AT&T can flush out all those incompetent losers holding management positions and give it to people who are more strategic and dynamic

I do know a lot of reshuffling happened!!!

Minemrys:
who kn0ws? We just have to watch things unfold.

Abi!

Minemrys:
WB? I give up on those guys. I realized early on its management don't know how to utilize their properties. But they are good at acquiring intellectual properties e.g HP, LOTR and having the foresight early on to buy DC comics and Fawcett comics. But the problem is after they acquire them, they treat the properties with little seriousness.

I thought they have rearranged and restructured management after the acquisition by AT&T?

Minemrys:
yea, that's what i mean. Wouldn't Time warner being a big corporation prevent a buy out?

There are sharks, and there are Whales!!!

MJBOLT:

don't even give me that BS,show me any studio that doesn't spend heavily on campaigns,most of you DC fans are just clueless

E pain am!!!

Kaycee7:
Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk were released in 2008 before Disney acquired Marvel in 2009. Are those ones flops as well?

Well, someone already answered you!!!

Good move, no more chop alone.
You chop alone, you die alone
Some families don't even work in some.foreogn countries, yet their standard of living is higher than those who work hard in Nigeria.
Ten thousand may be small but, to a woman selling ugwu leaves, pepper, onions, egusi, oporoko, dried fish, and as we call it in Lagos here. gbanjo and other hustle business, it's a lot of money.
Let senators and other governors join this laudable project.
People are not smiling, the era of settling few friends and cronies are long gone.
You don't care about the people, don't expect much from the people simple.

This is what a lot of people fail to understand...

Mk17:
both okowa and buhari know their time is up so they are doing all they can to impress and confuse voters. don't let them confuse you with their campaign money or else the suffering in another four years will be worst.
how many pot of soup can 10k cook in today Nigeria that 10k is being given to market women?

It doesn't matter... What matters is that the traders got the money.
If government decides to build a forgotten road cuz of election, who gained? The masses!!!

All the people that say TraderMoni is vote buying because it's APC, what of now that A PDP governor has adopted same?
I'm happy the petty traders are at least getting something no matter how small.

TheKingIsHere:
Disney spent over $180m to market Avengers; Age of Ultron movie as shown in the first screenshot. Thats why the total budget(including marketing) spent on this movie was $495.2 million.

Now, guess how much was spent on marketing infinity wars that disney was too shy to include the marketing cost into the total budget? The total budget (excluding marketing) for Avengers: Infinity War cost $321.2 million. If the budget for marketing was added to it, the total production budget will be over $550m (est). In fact, from what i could dig up from wikipedia about infinity wars, the money spent on media marketing alone was over $150m, the largest for any Marvel film. Take note, this is excluding all other media options that was done for the infinity wars film.

You dey mind them ni!
All Marvel Pre-merger (with Disney) movies were flops!!!

TheKingIsHere:
Very soon I will state some shocking things about this captain marvel on the marvel thread and how fake of a character that she is.

Lol... Please do.
I saw something about that sometimes ago.

Shittaakeem:
Dude check wiki Disney don't have the right to the spiderman franchise Google it.

Should have put Sony/Disney! My bad!

TheKingIsHere:
If marvel/sony could spend a whooping #140m on just spiderman alone, i wonder how much marvel/disney will spend on infinity wars, since we all know that disney is a bigger company than sony. Its just common sense.

Thats why i didnt even reply him. There is no need replying a fanboy. They argue without facts or logic.

TheKingIsHere:
Disney doesnt have rights to spiderman stand alone movies.

True... Except Iron Man was in the movie.

Shittaakeem:
Wrong bro very wrong Disney did not market spiderman homecoming it was sony. Disney don't have the right to the spiderman franchise.

Your proof?

hulk616:
I don't understand what is so special about this boring Aquaman that is making 800M I blame Hollywood for not giving Aquaman any competition .

Even Marvel's Editor-in-Chief couldn't help but praise Aquaman.

MJBOLT:

but according to one professor here, DC don't do heavy campaign on their movies


Most of them here are clueless casuals, DC campaigned for wonder woman using super girl and spent 3 million dollars on TV ads alone
#Delusional

Disney out-spends all... Really, this is not even up for argument!!!
If Disney spent $140m to market Spiderman : Homecoming, then use your head and know what the marketing costs for all Avengers movies and Civil War will be.

badinfluence:
Yes it's for talks, I've read your posts, and I know you're just doing it for bants. But the people I've quoted, always feel like they are the alpha and omega; who have the sole right to deem a movie a success or a failure, regardless of what the world thinks..

Lol... Na their business na...
Just don't take it too serious it's all!

badinfluence:
I'm not concerned about Hollywood critics, na we Nigerians wey dey feel like we too know. Just imagine some people trying to state how a company like Warner Bros should do business, or belittle the achievements of Disney studio.. People who aren't even qualified to tell a small indie production company what to do.. The other one is criticizing them for atleast trying to portray a culture different from theirs.

It's all for talks bro... No big deal!!!

badinfluence:
Atleast the Hollywood critics have better knowledge of 'their' industry. But the guys here feel internet articles are the prerequisite of being a critique, people who can't even produce a five minute short film. Trust me, you'd stop all this nitpicking if you're asked to take a lap in a tiny pool of filmmaking..

Same thing could be said of Hollywood critics bro!!!

TonySpike:
That movie tried so much to imitate the African culture as a whole but failed so much at doing it. The costumes were ugly, yes, I will say that again as a proud black man. Crucify me if you want. The movie was just a wannabe "cash grab" to falsely project Africa in Hollywood.

I use to mock the costume, but then the millennial looking ones in Thor movies comes to mind... And Asgard is supposed to be far more advanced than Earth.

The best costumes are for the heroes i guess!!!

Shittaakeem:
Bro its true
No major competition till February.
So it might gross 1bn.

There will be competition from January 18 with the release of the movie Glass.
