Oh noes! The villain wants to destroy everything the hero holds dear. Whatever will he do!
We will assemble a group of unlikely heros and at the very last moment when it looks like all is lost a new hope will appear.
So that’s it? What? We some kind of Suicide Squad? ☺️
And that new hope?
Wonder Woman. But she’ll only have one line and be on screen for 18 seconds wherein a boner joke will be made.
A lot of the action scenes look like a video game cutscene, and these are the cherry picked trailer shots. Are we going to get another Flash?
How big of flop is it going to be?
I saw the first one on an airplane. Figured I could either stare at the back of the seat or finally watch it. I should have chosen the seat.
It’s going to be fighting upstream for sure, audiences appear to be losing interest in yet-another-superhero movie. Jason Momoa has alot of star draw, so I’m not sure if that will even out. There actually hasn’t been much of a media campaign at all for this release, so thats not a great sign, it means the studio isn’t confident and is hedging its bets by not wasting money on media.
The casting controversy probably will hurt it too, but maybe enough people will be interested in it that it works as advertising and drawing in more people.
Overall I’d say the expectations are cautious right now
One of titanic proportions.
Why are you assuming this is a flop? The first one is one of the highest grossing movies ever.
Wonder Woman also did amazing numbers before WW84 made the lowest opener for DC
Since the first movie, there’s no trust left in DC, the DCEU is already r making this movie a zombie, and WB hasn’t yet learnt from Ezra fiasco sheen they decided to persist with Amber.
The only real question is if this will be buffet flop then The Flash or The Blue Beetle?
IMO, the difference here is that this isn’t reliant on just the superhero crowd. People who loved James Wan and fast and furious movies showed up for Aquaman and I feel like they will again. The flash and blue beetle had way more of an uphill to climb being basically unknown outside of a cw show and the Snyder movies and there’s a big difference between what Ezra and Amber did. One went on a hugely publicized crime spree essentially and one got into a domestic incident that most people didn’t really care that much about outside of entertainment news spheres.
James Wan also has a lot more clout to throw around than Patty Jenkins. He also has a much better and proven track record.
I think this notion that people are checked out on DC or Marvel or superhero movies in general is very exaggerated. People will go to movies if they’re good and hear from their friends said movie was good. As long as the movie matches James Wan’s typical quality level I think this will not be a flop.
The last hit DC was Shazam and without any controversy and with good director, Shazam 2 was a big flop as well.
Wan may attract few crowd, but saying people care about DC is outlandish. Even worst MCU movie, Ant-man 3, made more than past 3 DC movies. There is no superhero fatigue, but there’s definitely DC fatigue, especially when it’s already going to be rebooted.
Btw last Wan movie was a flop, and it was his own genre, horror.
Why does the trailer have a trailer? haha, I’m only here for the controversy around the aquaman’s love interest
Trailer for a trailer is a pattern that started a few years ago. It’s annoying and I hate it. The worst is when they put those 5 second clips at the beginning of YouTube trailers announcing a trailer is coming up.
“Trailer. Starts. Now!”
Was surprised to see Amber Heard in the description. I had thought there was reshoots to cut her out. Must have misheard months ago lol.
The rumors I heard were that her appearances in the film had been minimized. WB was unwilling to delete scenes that she had already shot.
