I smell desperation. There’s ten of thousands of actors out there and they decide to re-hire RDJ? It feels like they’re counting on his star power to save their precious Marvel shows and/or movies. It won’t help, of course, because bad casting isn’t why people stopped watching. People are superhero’ed out and yet they’re pumping out Marvel shit like there’s no tomorrow. And I do mean shit, the quality of Marvel movies fell off sharply after Endgame. The talent just isn’t there, man. Stop.
People are superhero’ed out
Deadpool 3 just had the 6th largest opening weekend of all time (and it’s R-rated). People will go see good movies period, the MCU just hasn’t been very good lately.
I know it technically is a movie about superheroes, but I feel like Deadpool doesn’t qualify as a standard “superhero movie”
I think that’s key to the success of future superhero movies. Deadpool is a R-Rated comedy, which gives Deadpool some novelty and keeps his character feeling fresh. Winter Soldier was a spy thriller, there was that X-men horror movie a few years ago (IDK if it’s good, never saw it), the new joker movie is apparently a musical.
These are all different genres just with a superhero filter over them. The problem with the MCU as a whole is that they all feel the same and all the characters feel the same.
That’s what I’ve been saying for years. “Superheroes” is a flavour, not a genre. Just like “cops” or “soldiers”. You can do any sort of movie genre with those flavours. The problem is that too often movie studios go with the safe option of “action comedy”.
with extra cheap and unoriginal comedy.
Subverting the standard expectation is the way nearly all good superhero films get there, to the point that it is the expectation.
Good point, I did not expect the Guardians of the Galaxy series to be a funny sitcom at its core but here we are.
Okay yeah, true enough. Maybe it would be more accurate to say that people are now much less likely to go see a mediocre to bad superhero movies. To give an example, the first two Thors and Iron Man 3 weren’t great, but they were still box office hits. I have to wonder if it would pan out the same way if they were released today.
People are superhero’ed out
Nah. People are bad-film’ed out.
People have been saying that “people are superhero’d out” since like before the MCU even existed.
Hello good Sir and potential investor. Here at Disney we commodify the art quickly, pushing to saturation, hooking a generation. From Mickey Mouse to Star Wars and Snow White to Marvel - Rest assured we’ll always be “the next Disney”.
Our potential plans for the future include becoming a bank and going mask off to buy the state of Florida.
Questions?
Yes, hello. I recently found out that wikipedia has a whole article about you and the, uh, challenges you have faced over the years. In light of this, have you considered renaming your mascot to Dicky Louse?

Lazy casting honestly. Lars Mikkelsen would have been a perfect Doom
Porque no los dos?
The right answer in this case
Is RDJ really a good casting for Doom? I like RDJ, but, this doesn’t seem like a good role for imhis usual schtick. But I am willing to admit I am wrong.
or both, in this case
Inclusive or
I bet it will be shit.
A christmas glove?
