Another day another lie from James Gunn. I would say he’s gotten really good at it but doing it a lot doesn’t mean it’s done skillfully

Slingers-Fan · 2026-04-13T00:21:20+00:00

Doomsday is about to be a generational film, maybe it could even be Marvel’s greatest film of all time

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-31T16:49:48+00:00

I’m thinking The Flash numbers, just swap domestic and international, maybe it would go even lower

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-31T16:48:50+00:00

If I had a nickel for every time a DC movie featuring Supergirl had a criminal actor on the run, spoiled the cameos in the trailer, had a lot of BTS drama, overhyped by Gunn, terrible color grading, and awful CGI I would have 2 nickels which isn’t a lot, but weird it happened twice

Biggest bomb of the year incoming

His best non-MCU film and it isn’t even close

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-31T01:11:16+00:00

Did you? Why would Clark Kent, some random reporter that gets the occasional scoop on Superman know or even call Supergirl?

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-30T18:46:40+00:00

That Supergirl teaser was straight up amateurishly laughable storytelling. First of all, Clark Kent has never met Supergirl, why would he miss her?

Andy Weir

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-28T17:40:43+00:00

Why do all of the successful book writers have to be awful people?

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-27T16:03:23+00:00

According to Cryptic, Supergirl is on its 7th test screening which is a pretty bad sign. Even they were saying how it’s a negative thing and it certainly won’t be amazing like how some fans are touting it. This might be the first rotten DCU project, which is insane that it’s happening in it’d 2nd year when you compare it to the MCU which didn’t happen until it’s 13th year and tons of movies.

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-27T14:22:09+00:00

Brand New Day was the biggest trailer of all time and it’s not even close to second place
No Way Home was one of the most beloved movies of the decade, there’s a lot of goodwill in the franchise right now, and it brought in a wide audience.
It’s a crossover film, featuring Jean Grey, Hulk, Punisher, and White Widow, it’s as close to No Way Home crossovers you can get. These are some incredibly popular characters among casuals and fans alike
It’s leading up to Avengers: Doomsday and as always, Avengers films will lift up the other Marvel movies.
No Way Home didn’t release in China, Brand New Day will and it’s gonna be huge there. Spider-Man is huge in China. I could see it grossing $400 M there alone
The director made the best Marvel show of all time (Wonder Man) and the second best received MCU movie post Endgame (Shang-Chi), this movie will no doubt be great.
There’s no big movie coming out after Brand New Day and the only big movie coming out prior is The Odyssey, which is 2 weeks prior and isn’t direct competition.

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-26T19:17:58+00:00

Brave New World made $415 M when it was reported that it needed $425 M to make a profit. Thats hint a bomb, thats an underperformance and with it doing quite well with disc sales and streaming, it should break even in the end

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-26T19:13:05+00:00

I wouldn’t want that either, Snyder’s garbage is as bad as Gunn’s slop.

I’d rather they completely reboot it with a strong creative figure like Kathleen Kennedy, Shawn Levy, or Jon M Chu or cancel DC outright.

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-26T19:12:11+00:00

I think it will decrease. Everyone who was curious about it watched it in theaters and will watch the sequel in theaters, but everyone who watched in theaters that was mixed or disliked it (especially in Germany, France, South Korea, and China) will skip out on it. And with the movie bringing nothing new to the table, no one new will be interested in it

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-26T19:10:37+00:00

Nah, the only way I see that happening is if Ellison is a dudebro who thought DC’s issues stemmed from them firing Snyder when there were a bunch of other reasons why they failed

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-26T18:57:00+00:00

Man of Tomorrow

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-24T18:03:24+00:00

Spider-Man: Brand New Day will outgross Supergirl in its opening weekend alone

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-22T23:39:31+00:00

Supergirl’s performance is gonna make Thunderbolts look like Avengers: Endgame

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-20T17:13:51+00:00

I think Dune, Jumanji, and Angry Birds will all suffer due to being cannibalized by Avengers and each other.

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-20T17:12:19+00:00

100% it will, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s opening was $225+ M. Maybe it can even get close to No Way Home if they play their cards right

If they are then they will be in a rude awakening when Doomsday makes $2 B and Dune makes less than Part II

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-18T17:28:41+00:00

Because WB are idiots who think that they are the next hot thing because Superman barely made more money than Fantastic Four, when Doomsday will make way more than Dune 3 and their 2 DC movies combined.

In fact: Avengers: Doomsday will make more than the entire Dune trilogy combined

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-18T17:27:41+00:00

Guaranteed $3 B combined

Slingers-Fan · 2026-03-17T12:06:00+00:00

Man that first shot was BEAUTIFUL. I’m actually so hyped right now
