BlackManta:

😎
The Superman trailer is now officially top tier shit.

BlackManta:
This trailer is blowing up

10m views in six hours is insane

For comparison sake, Captain America 4 teaser from 5 months ago has 21m views and Thunderbolts teaser has 17m views

People actually care for Superman.

He's still relevant.

Even the newcomers in this domain recognize the typical trend of these trailers. Initially, they garner impressive view counts in the first few hours of release, only to see a significant decline afterwards. The Thunderbolts you mentioned also amassed over 5 million views in the initial 6 hours, yet the outcome speaks for itself.

Out of the 1k movies coming, 990 of them just suck.

28 Days Later - 9.5/10
28 Weeks Later - 7/10

Even when watching films that have received positive reviews, they often fail to meet the high expectations set by others. SMILE 2 is the first movie in which I have genuinely felt engrossed since August this year.

Martinez39s:
Wow! Long time, bro. Where have you been? Indeed, the earlier days of this thread will always be missed by those who were there. Those days preceding the invasion and subversive attempts by pathetic and childish nuisances.

As for Ubunja, he has gone like many others. As I have said before, everyone won't be here forever. Even CaveAdullam rarely drops posts again. BLOODYSPERM, nerostealth01, hedgefunds, saviolamemphix, SOZINN etc. are really missed.

Thanks for the shout out bro. How are you doing, I wish you all the best. My year has been a little rough but all in all it has been a success. Some women messed with me but I also returned fire and won. It's a long story. The red pill stands undefeated.

Scream 2022 - 65%

Okay movie, nice concept. I'm seated for future productions.

Damn, I never knew this movie turned out to be such a success. They ended the trilogy with a bang.

SOZINN:
Red Hulk looks way better than that Mark Ruffalo's shit Hulk. That mean face from The Incredible Hulk 2008 design. 💯

..

Both actors who came after Ben Affleck in both roles have outperformed him as the same character.

Anything that makes you sleep.
How much percentage of US box office does "Marvel films" make up to be termed keeping theatres alive. Lmao

Even the majority of peeps in the comments of that tweet knows she's talking about "blockbusters".

She didn't term anything, you're just the one reading it without understanding and wasting words. She said they "help keep" movie theatres able to pay the rent, which means they contribute, they play a part and she didn't even state how big of a role. Besides which peeps are you even talking about in the comments? Who would want to refer to blockbuster movies in general and use the phrase "Marvel Films"??

abduleez1:
Lol, she's loosely talking about Blockbuster films in general saying "Marvel Films" cos that's the face of present day popcorn flicks that makes big box office.

Shut up Oga. She's talking about Marvel CBMs.

I believe this to be true, given all the success the MCU has achieved.

Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, Lucy Liu and J.K Simmons still ganged up here to cook dust. Star power my ass.

abduleez1:
You dey go watch or not?? 🌚

Early days....it might go up. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I'm not going to watch anything. It's no surprise that this obvious cash grab could not offer the same level of quality like the original.

I expected more from this.

Red Hulk looks way better than that Mark Ruffalo's shit Hulk. That mean face from The Incredible Hulk 2008 design. 💯

You dey talk nonsense. Tom Holland and talent in the same sentence? at best he's decent.

If Tom Holland is talented what are we to call actors like Timothee Chalamet, Jacob Elordi and Paul Mescal his peers

Onward and Spies In Disguise are animation movies and in 2020 I think. Those roles and his voice acting are way similar with his Spiderman role. So what range are you talking about.

Lost City of Z that what anyone talks about is Charlie Hunnam and Robert Pattinson? If not that you mentioned it now I wouldn't even know Holland was in the movie as all references I've seen about this film online has all been linked to Pattinson.

My problem with Holland is not even his acting chops cos I don't even consider him a top talent in any way. It's his long absence from projects.
2022 is the last Tom Holland movie year.....these guys have movies at least from last year to this year. Tom's next film is not expected till 2026. That's 4 whole years of absence. Dude isn't even A-list and he's taking time off. I'm sorry but I don't consider upcoming actors without any body of work for 2+ yrs seriously.
This is someone that Disney was promoting and pushing in all their movies back then. So what went wrong.

He might prove me wrong in the future oo and I'll humbly take my L. But for now he's @ss.

1. Yes he's talented, like these other people you mentioned. Talent is like potential, anyone can be born talented, it's the amount of work that you put in that will polish you and lead to outstanding performances.

2. I didn't even mention range.

3. He dey for Lost city of Z Abi he no dey?

4. You skipped the Pilgrimage but whatever.

5. We are talking about quality of projects that's why I picked these ones that have positive reviews from critics. The guy has been in other projects outside the MCU that I didn't mention.

6. Not being active for four years is just a little detrimental if you're busy doing some underground work and your ready to come back in 2026 with a bang. He's not been in any movies doesn't mean he's been away from Hollywood.

7. The Impossible is his breakout role and still one of his best performances till date. It's what earned him his first ever award nomination but let's sweep it under the carpet because you don't know about the movie lol.

Capital L wey you don take already.

abduleez1:
Which rest? Films that ain't coming out anytime soon. The earliest movie there is 2026. And half the projects are still in devt phase.

Him mates like Austin Butler, Paul Mescal, Timothee Chalamet, Jacob Elordi, how many movies and top directors them don work with the last two years and upcoming projects??

So until then, the jury is still out on him. He doesn't even have the range or can lace the shoes of any of those actors mentioned up there.
Even him own wife don get one movie this year already and multiple projects lined up since when both of them featured last in his Spidey movie.
So like I said, he's still saved by MCU.

Which mumu jury? You're just comparing the dude with other people that he's not even competing with. The same way I can pull up their networths and none of those guys would come close except Timothee Chalamet. Everyone knows that different actors move at different pace. There's no rule anywhere that says that if Mr A is doing this then Mr B should also be doing this. You just posted his upcoming projects that proves that he's been securing projects low-key that's like shooting yourself in the foot in this your argument. What do you even mean "saved" by the MCU? You mean "The Impossible" because that's where they even discovered him.

samistry:
You go allow am rest now abi?

Outside of the MCU he's has been in some other films that have been well received by the critics, including: The Impossible, Locke, The Lost City of Z, Pilgrimage, Spies in Disguise, and Onward. It was even in the movie "The Impossible" that they recognised he had talent, that was his breakout role before he auditioned with 7000 other actors for Spiderman. If noting dey to talk them go just dey rant rubbish dey full thread dey go.

This is just how it's always been. DC has been consistently humiliating CBM fans. Joker 2 is still struggling to reach $250m lol. Over the last decade, the MCU has consistently upheld the success of comic book movies, effectively silencing the haters. Let's give honour where it is due. All DC tards have is their mouths.

How we're ending 2024. 💀

Illusioneffect:
Exactly! When success gets to your head. I heard Christopher Nolan was even involved in the first Joker movie but this dump was all Todd Phillips doing🤷🏽‍♂️. He knows it that's why he secluded himself to a cabin in the middle of nowhere

Even Martin Scorsese was closely associated with the project too but he opted to withdraw from it due to conflicting schedules with his masterpiece "The Irishman." Nevertheless, the film had significant influences from Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" and "The King of Comedy." Critics often noted resemblances to various borrowed concepts from other films, but he skillfully put those ideas together and he managed to craft a unique and compelling story. However, in the sequel where he had to rely more on his creative vision, he just showed us what made the first movie succeed.

abduleez1:
This is one side to a coin. I can also show you numbers where it's doing well.

What you're saying and what I'm seeing on the net even pushes me the more to go and see it for myself and make my opinion of it....cos what I'm seeing looks like bandwagon mentality and unnecessary hate.

While I agree it's having very bad US domestic numbers so far.... it's doing decently in Europe.

This one also has a China release date the first one didn't. So that might help.

It even has $20,000,000 in domestic gross.

abduleez1:
Yep. That's the problem with this analogy.
Anyways, na the final box office I wan see first.

Exactly, I'll allow it to bomb first before I really start talking.

abduleez1:
Some are saying it's a big fvvk you from the director to studio execs who continues to pester him for sequels.
Man, I'm confused wtf where they all thinking. Also that musical gimmick doesn't really help.

The most baffling to me is making this movie for $200mn. 😱😱 I still don't know what that budget was for even tho Joaquin and Phillips both got $20mn each. And Gaga $10mn.

This statement appears to me as a significant rationalization. Let us not pretend that Todd Phillips boasts an exceptional filmography; prior to "Joker," most of his films varied from mediocre to utterly unwatchable, with his only major success with critics and audiences being "The Hangover." If one has committed to creating a standalone masterpiece, then one must also commit to rejecting any financial offers to return if the film proves successful. Money serves as their primary leverage, as no one's going to hold a bloody gun to your head.

Accepting such offers implies that you believed you could replicate the success of your initial project or surpass it. Any complaints following the failure of the new movie amounts to capital COPE, and it's his reputation going down the drain. Why did he not allow them to hire another director for the task? Because, presuming he continued to decline as you all suggest, that is precisely what they would have done.

Illusioneffect:
The movie didn't even have a specific story, it was like he was dreaming and singing all throughout the film. Before you know it, the movie turned to a court room drama

kendrick9:
You will be disappointed then.
This one is Courtroom drama + musical.
The first Joker was overrated anyway..
It had only one memorable scene

In that case, I'll have to steer clear of the sequel. If that is the direction in which they intend to narrate his story, then this iteration of the Joker does not align with my preferences. The only reason I overlooked this dumb idea was due to the fact that the first one was an origin account. I figured I failed to grasp the essence of the Joker because he was merely in his nascent stage. While the portrayal of the decline of an Ill-treated disturbed individual makes for a compelling movie, in my opinion, that storyline is only suitable as an origin tale for the Joker.

Frankly, I had been anticipating his breakout from Arkham and subsequent chaos in Gotham, followed by the entire GPD's endeavor to apprehend him without Batman's involvement. Additionally, the prospect of his collaboration with Harley Quinn intrigued me. I am not interested in stories that merely present a delusional underachiever with the "Joker" label without substance. There are numerous other captivating interpretations from which this concept was copied, and I can readily explore and appreciate a few of them without delving into CBL.

Illusioneffect:
I just watched Joker today by the way - a DC movie with 'more mature storylines' - the movie SUCKED balls and ass. 40% of the guys there left and some others were sleeping.

Does he actually become the prince of crime in this movie? Do we finally get the Joker we've been waiting for, the Joker that can give Batman a hard time. I enjoyed his orogin story in the first one but now I want him to become HIM.

abduleez1:
I swear. Nigerians and mediocrity.

Dude just uses us to cash out now just doing literally NOTHING.

Just because you founded the establishment doesn't make you qualified enough to run it. I swear.

abduleez1:
The thing dey pain and vex at the same time when you think about it. The mad potential the site has.

If not for nothing similar like it online for majorly Nigerians and our peculiarities we for don dump am since. He's just lucky Twitter feel is unlike this.

And to think that this site came out before Reddit and twitter, 🤦🏽‍♂️ why are some people like this? I could load this site on Nokia C3 and iPhone 12 and both would have the same feel. Kai.

Illusioneffect:
I've never used the app😆😂 so I don't know

Bro, sometimes do you ever think to yourself that this site could have had a similar interface like Reddit? This guy seriously fumbled.

Illusioneffect:
The truth is I’m actually using opera mini for Nairaland. This shows up whenever I try uploading photo but it verifies when I tap.
I think Nairaland has an app, ba?

Are you serious? That one would be worst 😂

BlackManta:
I hope this movie has high stakes. Because if you're going to rip off Suicide Squad, at least try and copy the major factor that makes it unique.

The director of this movie also worked on Beef. One of my favourite drama series. I have no doubt it will be good.

This is the only MCU project worth seeing next year.

Not that Captain African-American with multiple reshoots and a director that bailed on the movie halfway.

No box office predictions for this one. 🙄 Did Deadpool and Wolverine shut you up. 😂
