New Mutants Trailer Reaction And Other Horror Themed Superhero Movies
They were kinder on it than I expected. Martin makes a good point about almost reaching that limit between the tv shows and movies. I'm really close to just skipping stuff unless I hear good things.

They don't have a pro-DC bias, like at all. And when you look at the timing of some of Disney's trailer drops then it really does feel like they've been trying to one-up WB at every turn.
It's probably the crazy person in me but that sounds like something studios would do

I do think Marvel is smart about their announcements and trailer drops, moreso than the other studios. Like I said earlier, Fox releasing the New Mutants trailer on Friday (dumb) at 3am (even dumber) doesn't do them any favors. You could get away with that it you're Star Wars, but not a new property. That's why it never even got into the Top 5 US Twitter trends on Friday.
Fox obviously wanted to do a midnight trailer drop on Friday the 13th but...who fucking cares? You're burying your marketing trying to be cute.

Generally these things are timed well in advance. Like Star Wars 8's was timed to ticket preorders and some sports event. Thor Ragnarok's were for SDCC, also why JL has a new trailer then. This new Black Panther trailer is in part to attach to Thor, which is releasing in a week internationally.
I get why people entrenched in the comic tribalism like the conspiracy theories, but the attitude for people making these movies tends to be "a rising tide lifts all boats." Because it's true. Movies like Logan and Wonder Woman ultimately help Marvel Studios, and vice versa. It's a case where everyone can win.

It blows my mind that they think DC's CW shows are a waste of time and not worth mentioning. Sometimes I think someone needs to remind them that DC is kicking Marvel's ass at everything outside of movies.
I mean not really. Trailers drop at events, NYCC was on the weekend. Months of planning probably go into when tickets go on sale with the theater chains as well.

Martin brings up an interesting point about Wakanda not helping other African countries. Is that addressed in the comics?
Shhhhh
Yes the answer is a combination of not wanting to be exploited by invaders and them being Isolationist dicks
Or signal the Slayven signal
The only that could match them is Atlantis and Doom
America does have Tony and Reed
Yeah, Wakanda is an very insular country which works for and against them in different situations. It has been a fairly major plot point in stories.
Man, Korey did not want to say anything negative about that. When Martin was right on the money with Marvel doing another villain fight, the evil version of himself.
I also like how in this and the New Mutants, they were bringing up Blade a lot. Both for being the first major black lead comic book film and how well in blended horror into it.
Amazing, they were pretty positive on The Foreigner. Martin gave it a full price, which I had to agree upon. Alongside Gritz enjoying it a lot. The Koreys not as much.
That and people see Africa as one big country. Instead of different countries and different groups.
This doesn't even need explaining. Just point at the US and how they treat "neighbors" for a real life example. Shit, not even neighbors, US territories.

The "evil version of himself" criticism is pretty meaningless without having seen the movie. Hundreds of works in literature and film managed to make this work without problem, some movies botching it (Man of Steel, Iron Man, Wonder Woman, Incredible Hulk...) doesn't mean it's an inherently flawed concept.

We're getting reviews for both Madea and Geostorm. Korey mentioned it being a drunk review show on Tuesday.
♫~it's the most wonderful time of the year~♫
Hold the phone! There's a new Madea movie?

Boo 2 A Madea Halloween
No, but it's something the MCU has done several times over already as they pointed out. Sometimes it works out well like WS, other times not as much; Hulk, Ironman, Antman, Dr. Strange, etc.

Holy shit! How have I not heard about this, it hasn't been advertised here in Ohio at all.

Im surprised the first movie made enough money back to warrant a sequel.
I thought they were joking or were going to be doing a drunk watch of the first movie. Jesus... I can't believe they made a second one.
You know the origin of Madea Halloween
Tyler wasn't planning to make it but after in Top Five (amazing film by Chris Rock) made a joke about a Halloween Madea film that was released in the movie story
The studios like that joke and decided to make it for real by approaching Tyler
So it's Chris Rock fault

I shit you not, every Madea movie has been a box office success. None of them have grossed less than 50 million.

Nothing stops this Madea train, I guess.

Supposedly Boo 2 isn't even as good as the first one. And Geostorm is Geostorm. Fuel for the fire
Sammy and Ian's retro film analysis IMO makes this especially stark.

I think we can give Hulk a pass since a lot of fans have wanted to see Hulk throwdown against another villain as powerful as him. Same for Man of Steel which was mentioned by Oz.
This might be the first. I haven't seen a single commercial for it.

Yes but how is that a negative about a movie that isn't even out yet? It's a superficial observation at best.
If someones tired of the formula and a new film looks like its following the same formula theyre allowed to say they think that.
Glass Rebel

And if they aren't tired of it, they are not obliged to mention it.
There really not much sides in regards to that
Ok that's weirdI don't mean opinion as much as seating
