We’re never getting back to pre-pandemic levels, the damage has been done. People are used to waiting for movies to come out on the same streaming services they already pay to watch TV shows. Attention spans are shorter as well. If you extend the theatrical window people will just wait and forget about the film. People…

It’s an economics podcast produced by NPR that features an interview with journalist Matt Belloni, former editor of The Hollywood Reporter. You’re making it sound like two guys in Ohio recording out of their basement or something, but ok.

Killers was considered a contender for many of the awards it was up for. Napoleon, which wasn’t even nominated for many awards to begin with, was not. It’s not rocket science.

Lol you’re having a Trump-level temper tantrum. Why post on the internet if you can’t handle someone disagreeing with you?

I highly doubt that’s the case, but if it’s true it’s probably for the best. The streamers don’t care about the film industry, it’s just something new for them to throw money at and conquer. They thought they could just give two acclaimed men in their 80s 200 million dollars each and rack up awards. They were wrong.…

You literally said:

That’s a stupid theory. Napoleon, like most Ridley Scott films in the past decade, was just a messy film that didn’t deserve awards. Killers just blanked like most Scorsese films do. Killers in particular was a fairly weak film that lost steam once it went wide even though it was predicted to be a top contender at…

It’s not going to tank because of the reboot. It’s going to tank because literally every DCEU movie in the past few years has tanked. Black Adam is the highest grossing DCEU movie since Shazam. All of them have gotten negative reception since Shazam as well. They marketed The Flash as one of the greatest comic book…

This film debuted with a 36% on Rotten Tomatoes and has a B here…

It’s undoubtably more popular, but The Night Agent:

You can buzz off now, thanks.

I did read the article. Maybe “hit piece” isn’t the best term (Hit section? Hit paragraphs? Hit part of an article that got a lot more traction than the rest of it because it was released a week before her movie?) but my point still stands.

God you’re dripping with self-righteousness. Now commenting on sexism and racism is a waste of time because…people here will agree with me?

Well it was when I last checked lol.

Yeah, I knew the AV Club has taken a tumble in recent years, but now they’ve just given up on pretending they actually care about media. It’s just clicks now.

I’m honestly surprised this film didn’t get a good review here on the AV Club. Everywhere else it’s been getting glowing reviews, calling it one of the best Multiverse Saga projects and a huge step up from Captain Marvel.

I absolutely NEVER said that only women and POC face criticism in the industry. I said Black people, especially Black women, are treated extremely unfairly in many ways that white men never are, which is shameful. I also NEVER said the word “criticism”, I said a hit piece questioning her abilities and work ethic over…

Josh Trank actively shit all over his Fantastic Four movie (that has a 9% on Rotten Tomatoes) and blamed studio interference before its release.

…Ok, I’m guessing you didn’t actually read the original Variety article. Let me make this (more) clear.

Also it’s a Captain Marvel sequel starring Brie Larson. Unless you lived under a rock in 2019, you should realize that there would obviously be “noise” surrounding this movie.
