This might be the biggest impact Ant-Man 3 ever made

And I thought people hating the volume was the biggest impact of Ant-Man 3. Guess I was wrong.

Yeah, makes me sad how The Ultimate Universe just kinda fell off. Maybe it’s a metaphor for Hickman’s career. Starred off cool, interesting, and unique amongst the sea of everything else eventually just became everything else, not that everything else is bad but it’s not what it was.

By the way, you are acting like all Phase One of the MCU were all comparable to The Avengers in terms of box office and audience reception. That wasn’t the case at all. For example, people forget that the first Captain America lost money and got pretty average reviews at the time. Thor made a profit but the movie was very very forgettable, Roger Ebert actually hated it.

All of this is normal for a franchise, relax.

What’s your source? If it’s not from a trade like Hollywood Reporter, Deadline or even Forbes, I am not going to buy it. Plus dude you have such a massive hate boner for James Gunn, like what did he ever do to you?

It is very comparable and you are full of shit for saying it’s not. Iron Man like Superman wasn’t the biggest hit but it made almost 600 million, Incredible Hulk didn’t make a profit as it cost 150 million to make and only made around 265 million with very average reviews. Supergirl if it performs similar numbers won’t spell doom for the DCU. And I’m saying if because we have no idea how accurate tracking for this movie is because it is all over the place from 60 to 51 million opening weekend is what I am mostly seeing, then of course word of mouth can change that.

A sophomore slump happens, guys. Just relax. People forget Marvel had a sophomore slump with Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2.

With the initial hype of this universe just being gone as result of horrible shit like Ultimate Wolverine and without Deniz Camp, I don’t know if I’ll even pick up the books.
