XboxEra Community Hangout |OT5| Season of the Infinite.. Arguments

It’s fascinating how we have three different examples of nostalgia film-making running all through possible outcomes:

  • Spidy: No Way Home: Nostalgia fuel film that stands on it own that takes out like a rocket and can’t be stopped.

  • Ghostbusters: Afterlife - Nostalgia fuel film that stands on the shoulders of the previous films. Does decently, pleases fans, general audiences seems okay.

  • Matrix 4: Nostalgia fuel film that’s at best considered “divisive” and “terrible” at the worst. Reboot/Remake/Sequel that requires understanding of previous films also considered subpar. Tanks completely.

All three came out during a global pandemic, all three running all three possible outcomes.

They should study these three films in school.

Im tired of grounded batman

We finally got comic booky ass batman fighting comic booky ass villains and now were heading back to more realistic nolan esque shit, a trilogy was more than enough for that

As for Matrix, releasing it beside NWH was a terrible idea, not to mention its available to stream and itsnt getting the best reviews, of course its not doing well

delete it meme

No im tired of the grounded obsession

Im not sure why you keep posting these stupid gifs but ok

Think about the Christmas spirit everyone. It was only a few days ago…

You either get Grounded Dark and Gritty Batman, or 1960’s making Ice Puns Batman.

There is no middle ground.

Snyder Batman was gritty and fought with the fucking Justice League and he wasn’t grounded or puns, unless you count the GODAWFUL Whedon version

Also plenty of animated movies showing it can be done too

Me when my car breaks down

that literally was the point of the movie

Just to gauge what you want, do you prefer Burton’s Batman or (shudders) Schumacher’s Batman?

apparently matrix may be the quickest a film lost its IMAX screens. NWH had them for a week, then Matrix got them (mostvlikely contract with HBO) and apparently in some areas, IMAX are already going back to NWH

I don’t think it’s that hard to see how it all played out.

Matrix and Ghostbusters don’t even come close to how popular and accessible Marvel movies are.

NWH could of been terrible and it still would of made more than both those movies combined in its first week.
