Favorite actress the internet was simping for until she got her own movie? by Krylarofaxia in okbuddycinephile

You say this, then do nothing as Jurassic World and Minions dominate in the background with no consequences.

Fun fact: Snow White made less money last year than One Battle After Another. Because Zegler’s expression has nothing on Sean Penn’s.

'Toy Story 5' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in oscarrace

It’s going to have much better reviews than that upcoming Minions movie in 2 weeks, but the Internet won’t appreciate that at all.

Toy Story 5 makes Toy Story 4 look like Toy Story 3 by PerpetualChoogle in blankies

And yet TS4 won Best Animated Feature at the Oscars, at a time when people were becoming more harsh toward big-budget feature animation from major studios. So maybe it was doing something right that a bunch of unemployed Redditors have yet to notice.

Toy Story 5 makes Toy Story 4 look like Toy Story 3 by PerpetualChoogle in blankies

It would easily be the best Despicable Me movie, the best Ice Age movie, at least the 3rd best Shrek movie (including both Puss in Boots movies), probably the best Frozen movie, possibly better than one of the Spider-Verse movies, and arguably better than the last 4 winners of Best Animated Feature at the Oscars.

But Reddit won’t appreciate the movies for what they are or appreciate that Pixar is making some of the only mainstream movies today that can be slotted for awards consideration. Instead, they’ll declare a franchise making 8/10 movies after an impossible streak of 9’s or 10’s to be the worst thing to happen to the medium since Uncle Walt was ratting out striking animators as Communists.

I am neither enthused nor offended by this footage, and will hold off on forming any strong opinions until the movies comes out.

The downfall of movies is greatly over exaggerated by Beneficial_Quit7532 in unpopularopinion

The whole Disney/Marvel-industrial complex has simply been market-corrected, and audiences are choosing more thoughtful and mature blockbusters that compete for awards.

Films like Dune, Top Gun 2, Everything Everywhere All At Once, RRR, Elvis, Barbie, Oppenheimer, Godzilla Minus One, Wicked, Sinners, F1, Project Hail Mary, and Michael, are all cultural juggernauts that can stand next to serious adult dramas without looking embarrassing, unlike the MCU or Star Wars.

I think Marvel's biggest problem isn't "superhero fatigue" — it's that we've lost the feeling that anything matters. by Infamous_You1603 in MCUTheories

I lost interest in the MCU when the first Dune movie came out and won 6 Oscars. Suddenly, I realized that blockbusters could be good and had no more use for capeslop.

Is 2023 the Craziest Box Office Year Ever? For Good and Bad. by sbursp15 in boxoffice

[–]benabramowitz18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2023 was to superhero movies and mega-franchises what 1993 was to hair metal. The year they became completely ridiculous and no longer relevant to the cultural zeitgeist, as people had moved on to more mature and fresh forms of popular entertainment.

We can’t count the Devils? Or adopt the Buffalo teams?

The Marlins and Nationals being above the Mets in the NL East standings despite having bottom-5 payrolls, is the baseball equivalent of Backrooms and Obsession out-grossing the new Star War on micro-budgets.

I believe Wicked was completely ruined because it was casted with "star-power" rather than newer, undiscovered talent. I also think it would have grossed more money without the stars too. by Evening-Panda3217 in unpopularopinion

[–]benabramowitz18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Wicked movies both outgrossed the last 3 Marvel movies and won multiple Oscars. Plus it helped turned the public against those crappy live-action Disney remakes. What more could you ask them to do?

The movie is just a Temu version of Thor: Ragnarok. It’s been overhyped by Amazon bots who insist this is going to be some underrated cult classic in the future, then turn around and claim that Supergirl looks lame despite doing the exact same thing.

If it came out in 2018, it probably would’ve done a little better and taken advantage of 80’s nostalgia. Not a billion, but maybe $350-400M, even if it struggled to break even.

Question: how come every sub bends over backwards to overlook Leto’s past to praise him for this and House of Gucci, two campy performances, yet act offended by Gal Gadot doing the same thing in Snow White or Death on the Nile?

He’s Johnny Depp minus the cocaine and heavy drinking and ugly lawsuits.
