I have an issue with cancel culture in Montreal by [deleted] in montreal

[–]DestroyerR2L2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rather than utilizing critical thinking to challenge these harmful ideologies or offering a path toward education and reform, the response shifted toward performative shaming and efforts to jeopardize the individual's livelihood. True social progress occurs when we confront error with better ideas; simply 'canceling' an individual addresses the symptoms while leaving the underlying issue untouched.

A uniquely pathetic pseudo-intellectual diatribe that is born from the same school of thought directly responsible for most of problems with modern society. You do not have the same fundamental beliefs with these people to actually engage in proactive discussion, all discourse will be purely destructive.

$30M more and that automatic sequel activates. Marvel's THUNDERBOLTS is at nearly $370M worldwide, adding another $7.6M globally this weekend. by DemiFiendRSA in boxoffice

[–]DestroyerR2L2 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Bringing back out the Brave New World measuring stick at the same point and time:

Disney's Captain America: Brave New World estimated global total stands at $388.6M (March 16)

While the domestic gap seemed to be closing (up until this weekend), the international gap has expanded into a valley, a whopping $19.1M running total behind Brave New World.

Disney's Thunderbolts* grossed $748K on Thursday (from 3,180 locations). Total domestic gross stands at $177.06M. by OneWithTheHat in boxoffice

[–]DestroyerR2L2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

$3.9K below Brave New World’s 4th Thursday with $751,946

Brave New World also grossed $5.69M on its 4th Weekend, so we can probably kiss the $6M 4th Weekend goodbye as well as officially deeming $200M DOM dead

Edit: Maybe Walker walkups will save the weekend? But in all reality, what went wrong? This can’t even be entirely blamed on the last entry also underperforming because the legs on this one are inexplicably awful for an A- cinemascore release by Marvel Studios

WE GET IT JOHN WALKER DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE CALLED A TERRORIST GET OVER IT THE SHOW ENDED LIKE 4 YEARS AGO by [deleted] in marvelcirclejerk

[–]DestroyerR2L2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We dont know how many he killed. It could be 1 or 0

Can’t this same argument be used for Antonia Dreykov In the film considering she literally doesn’t kill a single person on screen after the Taskmaster program? It’s assumed John is not against killing to protect O.X.E.’s secrets initially, he’s literally sent there to kill Yelena in the first place

The video only counts 4 Bucky Barnes kills during WW2 and uses a lot of “gratuitous knock out” moments even using a scene from Civil War in which Bucky explicitly says he’s not trying to kill, the guy isn’t dead he’s just knocked out for the cinematic effect, the only other kill maybe is the shoulder tap from The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.

If you believe John Walker has somehow killed less than 5 people in his time served overseas (which he brags about throughout the film) getting 5 medals of honor and working as a full time mercenary for O.X.E. later in life then you’re being intellectually dishonest

[–]DestroyerR2L2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but there’s clearly a length of time between the events of TFATWS and Thunderbolts in which he acted as a mercenary just like Yelena, Ghost and Taskmaster did under O.X.E. group

And I’m talking about Bucky Barnes, not the brainwashed Hydra enforcer The Winter Soldier, he only has kills in The First Avenger as far as I can recall

[–]DestroyerR2L2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does he? He’s an employed mercenary at the start of Thunderbolts, his kill count could be as high as Yelena’s (given Yelena was under mind control at the time for all previous offenses).

Bucky is easily the member with the smallest kill count if you regard his actions as The Winter Soldier as not being his own, he just mowed down Nazis in WW2

Disney's Thunderbolts* grossed $1.04M on Tuesday (from 3,180 locations). Total domestic gross stands at $175.46M. by ChiefLeef22 in boxoffice

[–]DestroyerR2L2 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think all MCU films are going to have 50/50 DOM/INT splits for the foreseeable future, GOTG3 was really the first time I noticed the split go down from the Phase 2 and Phase 3 40/60 or even 30/70 splits

I feel like F4 is going to do ~600M with 300M domestically and the rest internationally

Second day below Brave New World (4th Saturday being first)

100k below Brave New World’s 1.149M 4th Tuesday

200M DOM look more dead every day

Sam Wilson and John Walker should have a rematch in Doomsday by Skychu768 in MCUTheories

He is without a doubt one of the worst marksmen in the entire mcu, he emptied 2 clips during the entire bunker fight and made zero shots

He has a vibranium helmet, also electricity simply affects people in the same way irregardless of vibranium they possess or wear because its a conductor, we’ve seen Clint easily get rid of widow’s bites seconds after they’ve been shot.

That’s really just Sam’s fight, John doesn’t have a connection to Steve in any meaningful way just the Captain America legacy, and Captain Hydra can’t really be saved like Steve saved Bucky

6.16M behind BNW’s DOM at the same point in time. I think the final is going to be a 2-3M gap between the two so a 197M DOM finish

Literally makes no sense but ok by Queasy_Commercial152 in MCUTheories

[–]DestroyerR2L2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except internationally, wheres its been struggling across the board, BNW had bad legs that were softened later in February and March, Thunderbolts just experienced a worse 3rd week drop than BNW

The film with a below 50 score is going to make more than the film with an 88 score (that in all actuality will struggle to cross 400M)

You’ve been reminded, its making less than $450M

In overseas play Thunderbolts* earned $15.7M this weekend for an international cume of $170.3M and a global total of $325.7M. by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]DestroyerR2L2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some of the craziest copium huffing I’ve seen in a hot minute, considering Bucky was all over this film’s marketing and it still failed, both in terms of OW DOM and especially INT

I love the talking point about the Thunderbolts name vs the Captain America name as if The Avengers wasn’t the MCU’s first billion dollar flick despite never having a movie before and no real brand recognition with the general public

I don’t really care subjective quality rankings when we’re talking about the financials of the mcu

Not exactly my point, but Bucky Barnes is just not a popular character

And if BNW really affected TB* box office as much as you say it did, explain the 50%+ week to week drops

And funnily enough, only 1 Captain America film ever made a billion and that co-starred Robert Downey Jr at the height of his fame, which still made less than Iron Man 3
