One thing Iwanna ask, can kano defeat Shang Tsung on a good day


undecided

Why make kano so powerful undecided


Shows that you didn't play the game (MK11). Kano had Kronika's crown (and equipment) which made him the master of time.

He could rewind time and remake it in his own image.


On a normal day. Kano is mid tier.

- Your Name (2016)

Mitsuha Miyamizu, a high school girl, yearns to live the life of a boy in the bustling city of Tokyo—a dream that stands in stark contrast to her present life in the countryside. Meanwhile in the city, Taki Tachibana lives a busy life as a high school student while juggling his part-time job and hopes for a future in architecture.

One day, Mitsuha awakens in a room that is not her own and suddenly finds herself living the dream life in Tokyo—but in Taki's body! Elsewhere, Taki finds himself living Mitsuha's life in the humble countryside. In pursuit of an answer to this strange phenomenon, they begin to search for one another.


- Bullet Train (2022)

Ladybug is an unlucky assassin who's determined to do his job peacefully after one too many gigs has gone off the rails. Fate, however, may have other plans as his latest mission puts him on a collision course with lethal adversaries from around the globe -- all with connected yet conflicting objectives -- on the world's fastest train.

Black Adam - The Director, the Critics and the Box Office

We are twenty days away from the release of *Black Adam*, completing the character's nearly two-decade odyssey to the silver screen. Speculation is running wild over its financial, as well as its critical prospects. Will it be the surprise hit Warner Bros are hoping for the DCEU? Or will it bring the franchise down to a new low?

I've decided to take a look at who's helming this project, what other work he's done, and how he's been received both critically and financially.

###**The Director**

Jaume Collet-Serra previously directed Dwayne Johnson in *Jungle Cruise*, prior to that, he directed the Liam Neeson action thrillers *The Commuter*, *Run All Night*, *Non-Stop* and *Unknown*. He also helmed the Blake Lively shark thriller *The Shallows* and the horror movies *Orphan* and *House of Wax*, released in 2009 and 2007, respectively.

He has a penchant for thrillers and isn't afraid to dip into the realm of horror, nor is he hesitant to get bloody and violent, something that could work very well in *Black Adams'* favour. Thinking back to that very first sneak peek where Black Adam electrocutes a mercenary until his bones turn into dust, scenes like that would be very much in line with what the director has done before.

###**The Critics**

Looking at his profile on the Rotten Tomatoes site, his best film is *The Shallows* at 78% - also his only "Certified Fresh" score - and his worst is *House of Wax* which sits at 27%. The latter was also his first movie. That being said, the Audience Scores sit at 59% and 42%, respectively.

The rest of the movies he's directed goes as follows:

\- *The Commuter* RT Score: 55% Audience Score: 40%

\- *Run All Night* RT Score: 59% Audience Score: 56%

\- *Non-Stop* RT Score: 61% Audience Score: 63%

\- *Unknown* RT Score: 55% Audience Score: 55%

\- *Orphan* RT Score: 58% Audience Score: 63%

Now, looking at the numbers, it doesn't inspire a whole lot of confidence. However, there is one outlier; *Jungle Cruise*, which has **an RT score of 62% and an Audience Score of 92%.**

**Average RT Score: 56% Average Audience Score: 59%**

Perhaps *Black Adam* will continue the trend and deliver a moderately positive critical reception, while garnering a lot of support from moviegoers.

That being said, the scores on Metacritic tell a different story:

\- *Jungle Cruise* Meta Score: 50 User Score: 6.1

\- *The Commuter* Meta Score: 56 User Score: 6.4

\- *The Shallows* Meta Score: 59 User Score 6.3

\- *Run All Night* Meta Score: 59 User Score: 8.0

\- *Non-Stop* Meta Score: 56 User Score: 7.0

\- *Unknown* Meta Score: 56 User Score: 6.6

\- *Orphan* Meta Score: 42 User Score: 8.6

\- *House of Wax* Meta Score: 41 User Score: 7.9

**Average Meta Score: 52 Average User Score: 7.1**

Here's how they fare on Cinemascore:

\- *Jungle Cruise* A-

\- *The Commuter* B

\- *The Shallows* B+

\- *Run All Night* A-

\- *Non-Stop* A-

\- *Unknown* B+

\- *Orphan* B-

\- *House of Wax* C+

**Average Cinemascore: B+**

On the whole, Jaume Collet-Serra seems to have a mixed filmography. Not necessarily good or bad, just down-the-middle average.

###**The Box Office**

However, at the end of the day, what matters most is how his movies perform financially.

\- *Jungle Cruise*

Budget: $200 Million

OW: $35 Million

DOM: $117 Million (3.34x)

WW: $220 Million

\- *The Commuter*

Budget: $55 Million

OW: $14 Million

DOM: $36 Million (2.57x)

WW: $120 Million

\- *The Shallows*

Budget:$17 Million

OW: $17 Million

DOM: $55 Million (3.23x)

WW: $119 Million

\- *Run All Night*

Budget: $50 Million

OW: $11 Million

DOM: $26 Million (2.36x)

WW: $72 Million

\- *Non-Stop*

Budget: $50 Million

OW: $29 Million

DOM: $92 Million (3.17x)

WW: $223 Million

\- *Unknown*

Budget: $30 Million

OW: $22 Million

DOM: $64 Million (2.90x)

WW: $136 Million

\- *Orphan*

Budget: $20 Million

OW: $13 Million

DOM: $40 Million (3.07x)

WW: $78 Million

\- *House of Wax*

Budget: $40 Million

OW: $12 Million

DOM: $32 Million (2.67x)

WW: $69 Million

**Average legs: 2.91x**

Based on everything provided so far, Jaume Collet-Serra makes so-so movies with good legs that usually turn a profit, if not make back their budget - with his only box office bomb being 2007s' *Goal II: Living the Dream*, making $7.9 Million WW against a budget of $10 Million.

###**What does this mean for *Black Adam*?**

Hopefully, it signals a dark and thrilling DCEU entry that also manages to be a huge crowd-pleaser. It may not receive the critical lauding as *The Batman*, but a RT score above 60 and strong WOM will help carry it to moderate box office success. If nothing else, it will definitely become Jaume Collet-Serra's highest grossing movie of his career.

###**Some other factors/trivia**

\- The script is written by Adam Sztykiel (*Rampage*, *Scoob!*) and Rory Haines & Sohrab Noshirvani (*The Mauritanian*, *The Informer*).

\- There have been two-month gaps between superhero movies in 2022 - *The Batman* in March, *Doctor Strange* in May, and *Thor* in July. *Black Adam* breaks this pattern by releasing three months and thirteen days after *Thor: Love and Thunder* and just three weeks before *Black Panther: Wakanda Forever*.

\- The time between *The Suicide Squad* and *Black Adam* makes it the longest gap between two DCEU releases: 442 days. The previous gap was between *Aquaman* and *Justice League* - or *Josstice League* - at 399 days.

I don't want to give spoilers but the summary is this: there is a family in satanic bondage and the Lucifer has them by the balls, figuratively speaking. The hero is at odds on what to do to free his daughter who is possessed by Satan, and along the line he runs to a pagan seer who gives him the secret of his family's deliverance because the church will not be able to save his doomed child.

The movie is compelling, but offensive to my beliefs, which is why I find it crappy.

Nothing special. We've seen better Yoruba historical movie where they spoke English.

I don’t know why they all sounded the same tho. Even kids in the movie were sounding like adults. Maybe it's the one I watched tho.
