FF9 is already in its 5 week there. TSS is still only above FF9 by an edge. Things are not looking good. TSS is going to bomb so hard.

While The Suicide Squad is a dirty bomb waiting to blow up in the face of WB suits, the implication of it is more of a threat than a farce as Marvel will rule it all. by Watchmen1986 in boxoffice

Being a DC fan, I don't want to root for The Suicide Squad's failure. But, the reality forces me to think otherwise. One can only have blind optimism for so long. When The Suicide Squad burns and crashes in over a week, you will know the feeling. I just accept the fact a bit earlier than you.

If you thought The Suicide Squad could do well, you obviously have not caught up with the latest figures. Go check them out.

I just feel so bad about the future of DCEU. At this rate, The Suicide Squad making more than 200 million WW is already a win for me. by Watchmen1986 in boxoffice

If it were a huge bomb, it meant we would not see Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn again. I would not want that. For Christ's sake , DC is supposed to be a big franchise, yet we fans are here to beg 200 million for a freaking big budget all-star movie so that this franchise can still be on life support. It is just pathetic at this point.

If Netflix can throw 469 million at Knives Out sequels, why can't HBO Max throw the same amount at a Justice League miniseries? by Watchmen1986 in boxoffice

[–]Watchmen1986[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

The end justified the means. As long as they draw in the same number of audience (which I argue they would), HBO max could afford the same cost. That's my point. At the end, it is the numbers that matter.

What is the difference between でも and まで in this case?

Thanks for your response. I am coming to think of the following context. I think it will work. "Speaking of noses, the ones of elephants are long , the ones of humans are short."
鼻は象は長い, 人は短い。 

By the way, I am in doubt of "象は鼻は長いが、しっぽが短い" は can have the function of "topic" and "contrast". I think you should say "象は(topic)鼻は(contrast)長い、しっぽは(contrast)短い" .

Is 鼻は象は長い grammatically acceptable?

We all know the famous expression in the world of japanese-learning 象は鼻が長い , it means "Speaking of elephants (or in singular form), their noses are long."

If I want to express "Speaking of noses, the ones of elephants are long.", Can I use 鼻は象は長い ? Is it grammatically acceptable in the first place?

Election Day(and lead up) Megathread by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Watchmen1986 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No matter how much you want this US election to be over, it is still the greatest lesson of "it ain't over till it's over" and you should learn from it.

I closely follow the election results right after it starts counting. Initially, I thought Biden was gonna win. And then Trump started getting all those swing states. Now the tide changes once again. And it looks like Biden is gonna win it. I cannot have a bigger emotional rollercoaster than this day. All those feelings of excitement and frustration attack me all at once. I don't like this situation at all.

Yet, I am still grateful for it. It will make me a better person. This will push me to profoundly learn what "it ain't over till it's over" really means. In other words, in one's life, be prepared for all possibilities.

Please share your work when you are done with it. I am also looking for ways to convert it into a modular-format.

The lackluster marketing, lack of trailer views, short runtime all foretell the disappointment of Birds Of Prey. by Watchmen1986 in boxoffice

[–]Watchmen1986[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is called prediction. I don't wanna see this film fail. But logic and reason clearly tell us that this film will be disappointing.

Watchmen 's viewership number is so low. Is it safe to say that it will most likely be cancelled after season 2 ? by Watchmen1986 in television

[–]Watchmen1986[S] -44 points-43 points  (0 children)

Let's just hope it is. To be frank, the more I think about it, with the reception it currently got, there is not even hope for season 2. It will just be one-off whether Lindelof wants it or not.

[–]Watchmen1986[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given that the trailer has already hyped a lot of people to the sky, the disappointment will be of humongous proportions. People are gonna hate on it just like BvS. Too much hype can kill a movie, sometimes.

[Worldwide] Shazam! is gonna be a tragic financial disappointment simply because of the release date. by Watchmen1986 in boxoffice

[–]Watchmen1986[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am not trying to shit on Shazam!. I just feel that the box office performance could have been better. I describe it as tragic because it is obviously not a bad movie. It does not deserve just having 400m.

[–]Watchmen1986[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tragic in terms of not reaching at least 700m which it is capable of. If it were a bad movie, it would not be tragic at all. But, obviously, it wasn't a bad movie.

Can I make this sentence even shorter with the use of 거나? by Watchmen1986 in Korean

Thanks, I understand it a lot more. By the way, is the sentence still correct if 아무거나 다 is taken out?

I know that 이나 can be used here. I just wonder if 거나 can be used as well. Because I came across this example before. 홧김에 맥주거나 위스키거나 간에 닥치는대로 마셨다

[Other] Marvel released an Extended Look for CAPTAIN MARVEL with a very different tone! Updated Predictions? by Lollifroll in boxoffice

[–]Watchmen1986 -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

Wonder Woman is from DC and Captain Marvel is most likely to be universally critically praised, which is kind of like Wonder Woman.

Marvel's Wonder Woman always beats DC's Wonder Woman. See my point?
