I'm redpilled,I just can't fake it..
I'm just aware of the intersexual dynamics,reason why I snub women😹.
I mean I'm just too authentic to fake it..
Can't roll with the herd pls😔.

If you snub them they start coming close to you. 🙄 Somehow they are more impressed with someone who doesn't give a fück.

Today I learnt that I am not a fan, I mean, this guy promised to come for their reviews and he delivered, that's the mark of a true fan. Seems I need to hit the gym to prepare for Fantastic 4 reviews because blood go flow. I'm inspired!! 💪🏾

"till he couldn't even walk", I sha don't know which movie you watched but no be the same movie I watch

Ultraman was waiting for Superman to join him in the air and Superman was struggling to come of the hole Ultraman made in the ground with his body. Didn't you see the people that came to his rescue, they just slammed him on the ground and he needed a helping hand - weak ass Superman.

🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

Nah man, I meant real humans that go to see the movie on screen or at home like you.

Look around you, everyone was hoping to see a strong Superman. What are you on about?

bentenny:
I doubt if Gunn's superman can survive a single punch from doomsday!
Superman may not only need the complete Justice League gang to bail him out this time,he might likely call on the MCU avengers to unite and defeat Doomsday!🤐

This one was not it and as much as I want to say he'll get stronger in subsequent movies, James Gunn isn't exactly someone you'll bet your money on. He's someone that bends a character to fit what he wants to write, the script comes first before adapting what a character can or cannot do. I mean, we literally watched Drax for over 8 years and we never saw him grow to the power level of his comics counterpart or access his other abilities. Drax was nerfed to oblivion and James Gunn was happy to keep him that way.

pu7pl3:
Jesus Christ wasn't that off screen?
na wa oh, which kind argument be this one again

The argument being that the people of Metropolis you're so worried about were already used to seeing Superman win fights, so handing Ultraman's ass to him the first time he showed up wouldn't have made any difference to them.

Kaycee7:
I still wan address a couple of reviews later but the power scaling dey muzz me. I'm wondering whether it's the same movie all of us watched. Ultraman only beat him once in that entire movie

Except Ultraman beat him twice, the first time they fought he nearly killed Superman and when Superman came back after charging he mopped the floor with him till he couldn't even walk, then he took off after humiliating him.

pu7pl3:
Na you dey call am "dumbed down version" and "escape mechanism" and also "...with every strength he had" please what strength does metamorpho have?. You basically just repeated everything I said but with your usual shithousery so cool bro👍🏿

No I wrote a more detailed version of what you said because I watched the movie. You're the one here lying and making things up. Even if I wanted to take what you said at face value, those things are clearly not feats.

pu7pl3:
If he broke Ultraman in seconds the mob would still be out with their pitchforks talking about how overpowered Superman is and how unrelatable he is.

I don't know how you watched that movie but in the beginning we were led to believe that Superman had never lost a fight in 3 years before the Hammer of Boravia, people didn't have a problem with him not losing then.

pu7pl3:
only character in the movie who kicks his ass is his equally strong clone, who was basically being fed counters to his (Supes) every move.

He wasn't having any problems with the Kaiju before the Justice Gang stepped in, he took down the Engineer while simultaneously fending off Ultraman, he flattened the Raptors with no problem and he made short work of Ultraman once he was no longer being fed counters to his every move.

He escaped the pull of a black hole.

Only issue I have with his version is his reaction speed which wasnt portrayed as well as Cavill's Supes. I'm sure in other appearances he'll rack up more feats too.

Ultraman was a dumbed down version of him and he was fed counter moves by a human whom Superman is 100,000x faster than. Nothing excuses the way Superman was handled in the beginning. He wasn't having any problems with the Kaiju because the Kaiju had never grown that big before and it was confused, slow and it's only fire power was literally fire which does nothing to Superman. You can hardly call beating that kind of creature a feat.

He wasn't fending off Ultraman in that field, don't stretch it. Ultraman was landing hits and when he beat the shit out of him The Engineer proceeded to suffocate him with nanites while he was on his knees and his flight out of earth was an escape mechanism. The Raptors weren't exactly clothed in Vibranium or anything like that, your idea of flattening them was just spraying them with heat vision. If he didn't do that at the end we would have questioned if he had heat vision. Do you really expect us to be impressed by that? Do you even know what a feat means?

He beat a brain dead version of himself and don't mention him getting out of that black hole without Metamorpho. Don't forget he was holding his baby so Metamorpho pulled with every strength he had. At least you have accepted his reaction speed is shit, maybe we are getting somewhere.

DieRich5:
brother Superman can do it too

1) The first Superman movie, he did it
2) Clark Kent time travels in Smallville in several episodes
3) In the JL cartoon series, Superman did it too
4) Yes, Superman did time travel in the comics too

Flash is faster but both of them can time travel.

You guys are even going too far with this. There's no way Lex Luthor would be able to give instructions in the middle of a fight between 2 Kryptonians (one by birth and the other by DNA) unless one was completely dumb and the other was Corenswet's Superman. Even if he was moving at Makkari's level, Lex wouldn't be able to see him coming and he would have broken Ultraman in under 60 seconds. You guys are talking about speed as if he faced an intergalactic being where he needed that kind of speed. This was supposed to be a regular day in the park and he was utterly dog walked, dragged across the ground and kicked in the nuts.

pu7pl3:
Corenswet is no way the weakest Superman iteration on screen when there was Brandon Routh, George Reeves, Dean Cain and Tyler Hoechlin from before Superman and Lois.
Tom Welling got stronger with time over 10 seasons.

Corenswet's Supes is not the weakest by any means, he is actually in the upper echelon with the few feats he has and there are definitely more coming.

Please mention the feats.

bentenny:
As for Superman,there isn't much to add to what I have already said!

I'm not saying that the man of steel should be perfect but being undermined and always assisted by everyone including his annoying dog?
Thats no Superman....thats a mini-man!

Even if there was an intention for Gunn to introduce other superheroes,superman should be the focal point in terms of strength not weakness!

Enough said!
Let me go and watch F1

This Superman was the weakest to ever to be released on screen, there's no way this weakling is not getting cooked by characters like Doomsday or Darkseid. Assuming he hit Guy Gardener in that building when he was asked to make a movie, Guy would have mopped the floor with him. There's absolutely no way Green Lantern who has watched Superman for 3 years and knows what he can do will challenge an angry Superman like that unless he didn't rate him.

Also you have to understand that Ultraman in this movie is not Superman's equal. He's a dumbed down version of Superman, Lex Luthor only said he's as stupid as Superman out of spite so beating him is no feat. Lex mentioning a few moves that have to be entered into a computer before sent to his brain is what enables this empty vessel to not only mop the floor with Superman but almost kill him Superman had to go back to get an ample dosage of the Sun only to get whooped again. Oh and if not for metamorpho, dude would have been swallowed whole by a black hole.

pu7pl3:
What's my hypocrisy?
You were laughing at someone else's long quote explaining his stance, then you go right ahead to make your own long quote again to explain your own stance.

So again where is my hypocrisy? Hating has warped your brain dude.

When I wrote my review on The new avengers didn't you laugh at it? Na today we start to dey laugh reviews we don't agree with? Abeg get out.

Superman (2025) - 60%

The DCU adopted the one strategy their retarded fans have criticized the MCU for years—using mediocre movies to break even or turn a profit at the box office. I don't know why I didn't piece it together before; this is clearly why James Gunn was hired—to create another version of the MCU. His job was to replace the M with a D and shoot all the movies in the same style that DC fans have called lame for years. I mean, how is it a coincidence that the very first movie that kick-starts the DCU is the worst thing James Gunn has directed since 2014?

Nicholas Hoult is outstanding in this movie; he's just too good for it. Acting-wise, I think he is ahead of everybody else. I don't know why he didn't get praised a lot for this, but I love the fact that I wasn't aware of what he did and then I just went into the movie and got blown away. He beat David Corenswet (not like Corenswet stood a chance) in a movie where he's supposed to be number one. Also, he's the one with the stupidest script, but it's what he does with it that makes him stand out. Corenswet comes in second, and the rest could be replaced with C-list actors and the acting would still land.

Corenswet is a good Superman; he's not a great actor, but he does what needs to be done. He nails Superman's character, although Gunn and his ideas do not allow him to showcase Superman's abilities. Their costumes are bad, except for Superman (I'm not blaming his mum) and Mr. Terrific. CGI and almost everything else is MCU-level stuff. There's nothing god-tier or next-level about anything else here. Everything is like what you've seen before in the MCU. In fact, the plot is bad; it has many aspects that don't make sense even by the standards of what the movie is working with—Lex Luthor being its biggest issue. For Hoult to handle this and beat Chukwudi Iwuji (the High Evolutionary) with what he delivered is really something.

Anyways, enough about Hoult; everything I want to say concerning the plot has already been dissected on the thread. This one na MCU in disguise. Gunn shouldn't have written this movie; what worked in his Guardians movies doesn't work here. The pace is as dumb as the things that keep the movie going when the plot has run into a brick wall.

pu7pl3:
Guess who just quoted me with another long cope, just guess.

Yes, when you're called out on your hypocrisy the light of your common sense goes dim, you become blind and you can't comprehend simple words. I completely understand, it doesn't mean what has to be said won't be said.

pu7pl3:
See Sozin up there laughing at Abduleez' review.

I haven't even watched Superman till the end. I was watching it, I think I got to about 20 minutes and then I abandoned it to go watch how to train your dragon since everyone around was saying that's the better movie but even that one too is not that good. What I've watched and the few clips I've seen is not even enough for me to counter his review or even write my own. When Thunderbolts came out on digital, almost everyone on the thread was calling it mid or bad, until I dropped my review where I gave it 80% (although I do think it was a decent movie, the score might have been too high but whatever).

Superman gets released on digital and people are ripping it apart, I go to the next page and it's abduleez's review. It's equally long and the score is 8/10 🙃. How is this not funny? I haven't even said anything, I just laughed and what? You want to call me out for laughing at what your near-useless pet dog wrote? Are you being serious? Don't even start, unless you're up for it.

😂😂😂😂😂 ha ha ha ha ha🤣🤣🤣😭😭😂🤣😂

FergieRaww:
Omo i no get the energy to drag back and forth with anybody why their Originals is the best Supernatural show on TV..

I haven’t seen Prison break until few months ago and i came to this thread to say my own piece about it and some people started crying in my mentions lol 😂

Respect to the people who watched this show and The Vampire Diaries and enjoyed both of them; their opinions are valid. I couldn't even finish The Originals, and judging by word of mouth, The Vampire Diaries is supposed to be a weaker show. Hard pass.

Chibudollar:
I have honestly almost forgotten everything that happened in Wednesday season 1. Downloaded the 2 but haven't found the will to start

Just rewatched season 1 with a little fast forward and it was bang average, it felt like watching something I have seen executed the same way several times over.

FergieRaww:
I have a lot to complain about that show but i can’t to avoid it faithfuls to attack me 😄

You have every right to speak your mind, nobody here buys data for you and this thread was not created for certain people. Faithfuls can go to hell, we can't all like or enjoy the same things.

FergieRaww:
Doing a little marathon of old shows that i haven’t seen…

Blacklist S1 - 8.5/10

The Originals S1 - 6/10

True Blood - 7.5/10

The Office S1 - N/A (a bit dry)

OZ S1 & S2 - 9/10

Pausing a bit on the above, let me try out The Last Ship

Your review on the originals is so spot on. For a supernatural show it's mostly talk and no action and sometimes they overdo it.

MSGAMBLE9:
You dey mind them

I just decided to look back on the statistics because even while they were yapping their nonsense I knew it was grossly exaggerated. I looked back at phase 1 and they made decent profit, although some of the movies in that phase had controlled budgets - making profit while earning under $500M. The profits were larger in phase 2 but phase 3 was where the MCU became a certified cash cow, that was the peak, then from there onward was diminishing returns.

Also, all these talk about green lighting movies here and there is funny because phase 4 had 7 movies and phase 5 had 6, these numbers are not out of the norm. Phase 1 and 2 had 6 movies each, in fact before the release of endgame Kevin approved 9 movies - 9. Phase 3 ended with a total of 11 movies, but we didn't hear all these nonsense because it put the MCU at the forefront of CBM success. Now DC tards want to come out of their caves after rebooting their universe (as if that guarantees success).

Thankfully 2 movies are coming from there next year. I really want to see the numbers Clayface and Supergirl (the one where they couldn't find anybody else to play Lobo they had to recast the previous hero "Aquaman" )will do at the cinemas.

Oga pay close attention to the figures and stop yapping. The MCU spent approximately $3.033B to $3.113B post endgame and grossed $9.336B at the box office. Going by conventional calculations the MCU's break even is currently set at $7.8 to $8.3B. So the MCU is still in profit if you're calculating just grosses post endgame without digital revenue, yes they are experiencing diminishing returns but they are still profitable. All these are before the release of Spiderman: Brand New day and 2 Avengers movies, so going forward the MCU will still be profitable.

*Correction.

I didn't even include Spiderman far from home in this, these figures are just for phase 4 and 5 combined. Let me include it: Far from home grossed $1.113B on a budget of $160M. This makes the total budget $3.193B to $3.293B and the total gross is $10.449B post endgame. The break even set at $8.2B to $8.7B.

BlackManta:
So out of the 15 post-Endgame movies released so far.

Only 6 are hits.

BlackManta:
Of course, not all post-Endgame MCU movies are trash.
But the truth is, the majority of them are.

Let’s go through the full list of MCU films released after Endgame and break down which ones were average or just plain underperformed.

Spider-Man: Far From Home
A billion-dollar movie riding the momentum of Endgame. Plus, it’s Spider-Man—Marvel’s biggest and best-selling character. No surprise it was a hit.

Black Widow
This movie flopped so badly, Scarlett Johansson sued Disney. Yes, it came out in 2021 (a COVID year), but it’s still a flop, forgettable and below average.

Shang-Chi
Good movie, sure. Still a flop.

Eternals
The first MCU movie to go rotten on Rotten Tomatoes. Not only did it flop, it damaged the franchise. You’ll never see the Eternals again, not even as a cameo.

Spider-Man: No Way Home
Massive fan service with all three Spider-Men. Obviously, it was a hit.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Released in 2022, this was the first time the MCU had back-to-back hits since Endgame.

Thor: Love and Thunder
Made money, but no one likes it. It underperformed, and Taika Waititi has been in director jail ever since.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Not as good as the first. Slightly underperformed but still a win overall.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
One of the worst comic book movies of all time. The damage this film did to the MCU will take years to fix.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
James Gunn doesn’t miss. Solid movie.

The Marvels
The biggest box office bomb in MCU history. Cost over $220M and didn’t even make that back. A complete disaster.

Deadpool & Wolverine
Another multiverse cash grab built to pander to X-Men fans. Full of cameos and fan service—because that’s apparently the only way the MCU can make money now. No wonder they’re rushing to bring back Robert Downey Jr. for the next Avengers.

Captain America: Brave New World
Nothing to write home about. No redeeming qualities.

Thunderbolts
Not bad, not good. Just there. Another big flop.


Now let’s talk about the Disney+ shows:

WandaVision – Decent.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – Mid.

Loki – Decent.

Hawkeye – Mid.

Moon Knight – Mid.

Ms. Marvel – Mid.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Disgusting.

Secret Invasion – Makes She-Hulk look like prestige TV.

Echo – Did anyone even watch this?




You can defend the disastrous post-Endgame run all you want, but let’s not pretend Phase 1–3 was ever this messy.

Between 2008 and 2019, Marvel released 23 movies. Only two were genuinely bad: Thor: The Dark World and Captain Marvel.

Now compare that to the post-Endgame era.
Be serious.

Your breakdown of Spiderman Far from home riding on the momentum of endgame is useless because it's not the only movie released post endgame that was riding on that momentum, also "biggest and best selling" character does not guarantee a billion dollars, man of steel did not gross a billion for DCEU, and neither will superman for DCU, get out of here. Black widow, Shang Chi and Eternals flopped, no excuses.

Now you're back again with all these nonsense yapping about fan service. The Flash; the first solo movie of the iconic character that was waited for, for over a decade came with 2 widely known batmen, 2 supermen - one dead the other alive and 2 super girls still fell flat on its face. Talk to me about fan service as a DC fan. No one likes Thor Love and Thunder? Your near useless opinion does not account for the people that liked it and thought it was worth watching at the cinemas. Saying that Taika is in director jail is you yapping nonsense without facts as usual.

He announced he'll be stepping away from Thor to work on other movies he signed for even before Thor 4. He's actively working on Klara and the sun, Incal, Time Bandits for Apple Tv and the live action adaptation of Akira, where he'll be directing for WB and he has described his relationship with the MCU as an open relationship. Saying Black Panther 2 with 84% critic score, 93% audience score and $852M at the box office on a budget of $250M, slightly underperformed is just you talking out of your ass at this point.

Ant Man 3 was a flop. The Marvels was a bigger flop, did not make back it's budget just like Wonder flop 1984 and James Gunn's The Suicide Flop. Captain America 4 flopped and so did Thunderbolts. All your crying about Deadpool and Wolverine's massive success does not change anything, if anything it just exposes the jealousy you feel because you thought it would end up like The Flash. I remember how you wished it would flop, you shamelessly promised to deactivate your account and I wish you did but you couldn't even keep your promise.

Now heading into the TV shows, no one knows how much they made the MCU because the amount these studios make on digital releases isn't public knowledge so I'll be working with their scores from critics and their audience scores as well.

The Falcon and Winter soldier scored 84% with the critics and 81% with general audience. Hawkeye did 92% and 88% with critics and audiences. Moon Knight 86 and 88%, Ms Marvel 98 and 80%, She Hulk was below average in audience score and only secret invasion and echo had average scores in both categories.

oyaskii:
That period after "Endgame" (2019), when Kevin Fiege was greenliting every slop that came through his doors, did irreparable damage to the MCU, i mean filth like "She Hulk", "Secret Wars" and Antman: Qantumlovmbiaxx and The Marvels were their response to as a follow up to a hugely successive period, so people just got tired of shît, so it's no surprises that the wave for their slops, dwindles after opening weekend.

The next Avengers movie is the utmost litmus test for this franchise, even that is on shaking legs, i mean they got so spooked that they had to cast a beloved hero in the successful period, as a villain, just to got some sort of fan service going... doesn't bode well at all.

How convenient of you to cherry-pick only the underperforming films as evidence of Kevin Feige's response to the MCU’s Endgame-era success. Alright, let’s go with your logic. Here's his actual response:

Spider-Man: No Way Home – $1.9 billion

Spider-Man: Far From Home – $1.1 billion

Deadpool & Wolverine – $1.3 billion
Meanwhile, Doctor Strange 2, Wakanda Forever, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 each landed between $845 million and $952 million.

Now what stupid litmus test are you talking about? Does the success or failure of one film dictate the performance of every film that follows? If that’s your logic, is Superman now the ultimate benchmark for the DCU’s future? Do you honestly think $551 million for a James Gunn Superman movie is impressive? Isn't Superman supposed to be one of the top three most iconic characters in comics? Don’t forget—Gunn pulled in over $750 million with a bunch of no-names in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Since when is fan service in sequels to successful films a bad thing? Far From Home crossed a billion. No Way Home, which was packed with fan service, made nearly $2 billion. Honestly all this yapping about fan service is really why I'm so glad The Flash happened, because DC tried fan service and didn’t even come close to success.

I’m loving this already

I want to see Miles Morales in it too. 😁

Apparently Spider-man: Brand New Day already has a teaser. The marketing on this one is going to be massive.
