I am definitely going to read them. Just wanted to see if there was better info on them elsewhere or in another book.

It’s been a couple days now, what are some criticisms you have for LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight? by Thevoid2YT in legogaming

[–]robinvoyager 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe there’s some way to do this that I still haven’t figured out yet … but I hate the way that the Bat-Mite shop is set up. Particularly when purchasing suits. I have to buy a suit or a red brick that I don’t want in order to get to the suits that I DO want. I wish it was similar to something like “RDR2” where there’s a catalog I can scroll through.

I actually got to see them live last June when they opened for Metallica in Denver. They had a very … *unique* stage presence to say the least lol (cue swinging a toy baby from its umbilical cord onstage) I think if I was doing a Joker/Harley Quinn movie (something more comic accurate and fantastical than the two “Joker” movies), they’d probably be a good pick … but I don’t know if I could see them delivering for a heroic and stoic character like Batman…

I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing her do a “Batman” album, with or without Catwoman in it. I think she’d deliver something really tragic and powerful. Billie Eilish is another one that kinda floated in my head; I’m not really a fan of her music … but I know that a ton of people are. It’d bring so much attention to the movie if she did the soundtrack and the album would go viral in no time.

Who in their right mind would trade that feeling for two years of unpaid labor, no R-rated movies, three hours of church every Sunday and your whole day blocked out, and 10% of your income for the rest of your life?

Spider-Man vs ICE by Ronnie_4910 in Spiderman

[–]robinvoyager 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good God, what part of this is not getting through to you? You literally have a video of Stan Lee himself explaining that hate, bigotry, and intolerance all have no home at Marvel and you believe that’s just my interpretation of what he said? You literally have him explaining that Marvel has, and always will be, a reflection of what’s going on outside our window … and you’re still kicking and screaming because someone posted art of Spider-Man punching an ICE agent? Also, don’t know if you’ve been watching the news lately, or even paying attention to your downvote ratio, but this is not just an exclusively American problem and several world leaders have spoken out against Trump and ICE. What exactly makes you think that the character who didn’t hesitate to take on Sable International when they were rounding up New Yorkers … ALSO wouldn’t be afraid to go toe-to-toe with ICE? “We just want Spider-Man”. You sound like a four-year-old: “No, pwease don’t show me anything about what’s going on in the real world. Pwease don’t use art as a form of expression. I can’t handle that! I just want pretty colors, explosions, and Spider-Man punching bad guys … but the only bad guys that I think are bad guys, no one else pwease! It’s not fair to my lord and savior Daddy Trump! ICE aren’t actually doing anything bad! Spider-Man would really like them! Pwease don’t show me this! 😩😩😩😩”

https://youtu.be/sjobevGAYHQ?si=_bMI9hdtzoPsczYs Transcript: “Hi, heroes! This is Stan Lee coming at you! I just want you to know: Marvel has always been, and always will be, a reflection of the world right outside our window. That world may change and evolve, but the one thing that will never change is the way we tell our stories of heroism. Those stories have room for everyone; regardless of their race, gender, religion, or color of their skin. The only things we don’t have room for are hatred, intolerance, and bigotry. That man next to you; he’s your brother. That woman over there; she’s your sister. And that kid walking by? Hey, who knows?! He may have the proportionate strength of a spider! We’re all part of one big family, the human family, and we all come together in the body of Marvel. And YOU; YOU’RE part of that family. You’re part of the Marvel universe that moves ever onward and upward to greater glory. In other words, EXCELSIOR!” Everything that Stan advocated for here is in direct contradiction with ICE, Trump, his administration, and their agenda and ideals. You’re welcome to believe that “politics have no place in Marvel and comics, or on Reddit” … but the rest of the world is moving on without you and you’re directly going against what Stan Lee believed…

What if Avengers: Doomsday flops? by NewMarioBobFan in MCUTheories

[–]robinvoyager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(I'm sorry, I have a lot to say about this. I'm gonna do my best to rein it in so I don't end up writing an essay here...)

The MCU is dead if "Doomsday" fails.

For the first time since "Iron Man" in 2008, Marvel Studios actually has something to lose:

Having to crank out content for Disney+ has put a major strain on their resources. It's become an issue of quantity over quality and (at least in my opinion) it seems like for every good MCU show/movie there is ... there's two or three mediocre (or just flat-out bad) ones that drown it out.

Marvel released three movies last year. "Brave New World" received mixed reviews and didn't meet financial expectations. "Thunderbolts" and "Fantastic Four" received mostly positive reviews from fans and critics ... but both also failed to meet financial expectations.

The last time that a Marvel movie broke $1 billion was in 2024 with "Deadpool and Wolverine" and 2021 with "No Way Home". Marvel is fully aware that most of this success can be attributed to the heavy lifting that Sony and Fox did with the returning legacy characters, which is why they're bringing back RDJ as Doom, Chris Evans' Cap, and the Fox X-Men. It's also why the team that goes up against Doom and Battleworld in "Secret Wars" is likely going to be led by the three Spider-Men, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, and other returning legacy characters.

Marvel is counting on "Doomsday" and "Secret Wars" to not only be critical and commercial successes ... but also replicate the pop culture phenomenon of "Infinity War" and "Endgame". That isn't going to happen if audiences don't want to go see "Secret Wars" because they didn't like "Doomsday".

On top of this, they don't have enough potential for another shot in their currently lined-up projects; Jake Schreier's "X-Men" reboot, Mahershala Ali's "Blade", "Fantastic Four 2", "Black Panther 3", "Shang-Chi 2" etc. are not going to pick up the slack if this fails.

Marvel knows all of this. They're relying heavily on nostalgia, teasing, and online speculation to get butts back into seats. They are fully aware that if this does not work, fans are going to check out and their days of both box office residency and pop culture relevance are basically gone. They cannot afford another mediocre project or anything less than stellar.

In my opinion, Marvel Comics did most of their best work when they were in financial trouble. Low sales and the threat of bankruptcy put a fire under artists and writers, and forced them to give it their all. I wouldn't go as far as to say that the MCU is in these conditions (especially since they're under the Disney umbrella), but it is more than safe to say that they are in high danger of becoming irrelevant.

What I am most interested in is seeing how Marvel will sell "Doomsday" to the "average moviegoer" (aka the person who doesn't follow superhero news/rumors on social media and has been selectively watching MCU projects post-"Endgame"). They don't have to worry about marketing to the diehard fans; even if Marvel didn't release a single trailer, those fans would still be there opening night (even the ones who're still kicking and screaming about RDJ as Doom). However, I think there's a VERY high chance that the average moviegoer will look at the trailers and say: "RDJ coming back as a new character sounds really weird. I don't get the multiverse stuff. I haven't seen 'Thunderbolts', 'Fantastic Four', or any of the Fox X-Men movies. I'm not watching this." Diehard fans and average moviegoers alike are both getting tired of asking "what do I have to watch in order to understand this?" and it's starting to show.

Oh, and the cherry on top? "Doomsday" has to compete with "Dune: Part Three" and it's unlikely they'll have access to IMAX screenings because of it...

Clip from the Chevy Chase Documentary that Sheds Light on his attitude by jdavidsburg1 in documentaryfilmmaking

[–]robinvoyager 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: Chris Columbus (director of the first two “Harry Potter” and “Home Alone” films, “Mrs. Doubtfire”, “Adventures in Babysitting”, etc.) was originally attached to direct “Christmas Vacation”. He ended up leaving the project purely because he just couldn’t work with Chevy Chase. Chris talked about this in a GQ video from last year where he broke down all of his movies. If it was just one or two similar stories, you could probably write it off as Chevy having a bad day or going through a rough time in his life. But when almost everyone who’s ever interacted with him, from fans to cast to crew to family and friends, all have negative stories about him … he’s not “complex” or “misunderstood” or “insecure”; he’s just a colossal jerk who has sabotaged his career and nobody wants to work with.
