They only have to add a whole successful run of a movie to do it.

Which could happen.

Odds are pretty good I think, give it needs to make that globally at least.

Maybe Once Upon a Deadpool was a test run.

Why?

Movie Deadpool isn't really like comics Deadpool. People online seem to have it in their head that Moviepool is the only way the character can work but that's just... wrong.

Not that the two films are that committed to the same brand of humour anyway. Like, I wouldn't show Deadpool 1 to my mother because from memory it's full of stuff she hates and so she'd hate it. She really likes Deadpool 2 though.

That being said, Deadpool is lame without Slapstick living in his head. Melt them together Kevin!

So fucking good. It's coming to Netflix at the end of June. I might just put it on loop.

Ameriganastan wrote:Inspired by the latest Screen Junkies video, I decided to rank all 22 of these effing things from what I think is worst to best. For the record, I only consider like the bottom 5 out and out bad. Just an FYI.

22. Thor: The Dark World: I mean, what else would it be in last? A sequel to the mediocre Thor solo movie that was somehow even more of a bland, forgettable snoozefest.

21. Thor: Only marginally better than the sequel, but still a dull, forgettable movie.

20. Iron Man 3: AKA, the Pepper Potts movie. Now I actually dig the Mandarin twist unlike a lot of people, but it didn't save it from all that Pepper and that weak ass bad guy.

19. Doctor Strange: Tony Stark's origin story, only the guy is magic. Also, I hate how they fucked with Dormamu's design.

18. Ant Man And The Wasp: Just...meh. Like you could skip all but the last 5 minutes and not be lost on anything in the next movie. Also, Ghost was a lame ass villain. And Walton Goggins was...there.

17. Captain Marvel: I mean I enjoyed it. But my feelings on it soured a little after how ancillary she was in Endgame.

16. Captain America: The First Avenger: One of the better origin stories, but still an origin story. Also, the hamfisted way they offed Bucky. We all knew he was coming back.

15. The Incredible Hulk: This movie gets a bad rap. Yeah, Ruffalo is the way better Hulk. But I still find it an enjoyable movie to revisit.

14. Ant Man: Way better than the sequel was. A fun standalone movie.

13. Iron Man 2: I mean, I will never get all the hate for this movie. Mickey Rourke was awesome, and Sam Rockwell was a crackup. Also, introduction of War Machine.

12. Iron Man: The granddaddy of them all. Still holds up as an awesome standalone movie, even if it did win up launching a whole cinematic universe.

11. Avengers: Infinity War: Great movie, shitty ending.

10. Avengers: Age Of Ultron: Another case of "I don't get the hate". I mean James Spader killed it as Ultron. Quicksilver was kind of pointless, but the rest was good. And the Hulk fight with Iron Man. Awesome.

9. Black Panther: Aside from the dodgy CG of the ending fight, awesome movie.

8. Guardians 1: Fun movie, aside from boring ass Ronan as the villain.

7. Guardians 2: Yes, I liked 2 better than 1. Chalk it up to a love of Kurt Russel, the chemistry being better and the lovely addition of Mantis.

6. Spider-Man: Homecoming: Is Michael Keaton not the best? I mean that car ride to the dance was a killer scene in a fun movie.

5. The Avengers: The movie no one ever thought would happen, but it did and it was awesomely fun.

4. Captain America: Civil War: The airport fight scene alone is enough to warrant it as top 5 for me. That movie was awesome.

3. Thor Ragnarok: Took the crappy Thor movies, and turned them into Asgradians Of The Galaxy. Smartest move they ever pulled.

2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier: This thing is just a straight up action flick, and I loved it for that.

1. Avengers: Endgame: Of course. I mean it's a kickass wrap-up to over a decade of movies with the biggest, most baller action scene ever.

My list.

Quiz list.
1.Avengers: Endgame
2.Captain America: Civil War
3.Thor: Ragnarok

Maybe it lied to you... no?

Honestly, I've done this before (after Black Panther and before Infinity War?? maybe after AMatW) and I'm not entirely convinced of its methodological soundness. I think the idea is that the pairwise comparisons should lead to a consistent result (transitive preferences). Firstly, that's an interesting assumption (transitivity is required for rational preferences). And secondly I was forcing myself to pretend that I don't want to rewatch CM and Endgame more than others since I've only seem them once each. This was meant to distort results to avoid those two "falsely" ending up at the top but did it distort them appropriately (also, preferences are probably contextual).

That being said, holistic ranking (e.g. what I did when we were doing rankings last time) is also methodologically suspect. Is it really true that people know themselves best (consumer sovereignty... another classic assumption in neoclassical economics)? That is, they can look at a ranking and think "this looks wrong" and therefore it is wrong?

I'm also sceptical of rating ranking (e.g. IMDB or Metacritic's best/worst lists) because of similar issues to the above. If preferences are contextual, then the value of the ratings from different periods of time is dubious and what's the most fair way of doing this? Rating all films in one's normal context? Rating each film from their best context? And if consumers are sovereign (it's a defensible idea) then shouldn't holistic ranking be better than this? And what about the role of expectations?

Regardless of an individual level, the average ranking seems relatively decent to me, I might disagree personally with a few of the rankings but overall it's not too bad a ranking.

Endgame only needs 75 million more to become the highest grossing movie. That's like three quarters of what the entire DCEU made.

Cloak & Dagger is the best MCU show you're not watching. I loved season 2 which included both Mayhem and D'Spayre. A little goofy in its absolute sincerity in incorporating Voudon mythology (not really part of the original), but works in the whole. It does that nodding wink where it kind of makes fun of its origins (at one point they play an 80s video game in Cloak's dimension that's a Double Dragon version of their comic book origin where they joke about 'radioactive heroin') but it's handled well. Cloak even gets his cloak, but not all the time. Dagger got the 'dagger' theme at the end of season 2. They tie in to the Netflix shows which they kind of match for tone. There are name drops to Luke Cage and the other Defenders. I really dig it. Streams on Hulu now.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

To be fair, I think it makes more sense to compare averages as opposed to wholes considering the DCEU has produced far less movies then the MCU.

I don't see it happening. The summer movie season is coming and Endgame eventually has to go to make room.

The main hope I think remains in the foreign markets, but Mojo has a weird update schedule for those.

The MCU is at a 970 million average and DCEU is at 754 million. Meanwhile Captain America has a 746 million average, Iron Man is at 807, Spider-Man at 760 (that's for all Spider-Man movies) and only the Avenger movies have an average of 1.9 billion.

Well, Captain Marvel and Aquaman are still running somewhere apparantly.

Or they only receive those numbers randomly, I don't think the Ugandan cinema ticket sales are regularly updated. :p
