Okay? So are you going to answer my question? What has the MCU raised the bar for?
Let me see making a bunch of Comic book franchises, legitimately good, make money hand over fist, created memorable moments in comic book cinema and making an unknown character known in Iron man. Shit, multiple of them.

Though it's funny as hell seeing folks stan for venom, when its ultimately a shit movie.

Venom is based on a comic book character who still gets new material. The Greatest Show is based on the circus which went out of business and shut down a few years ago.

What now BronsonLee???

Not to start another slapflight, but if we're gonna talk about superhero movies in general...I honestly found blackpanther to be a dull movie. And no one say "need more explosions? Hur dur", I fricken loved hateful 8

Quality?

What MCU movie is better than The Dark Knight?

Well, you didn't just say The Dark Knight. You also mentioned Spider-Man 2, which was the main example I took issue with. TDK is amazing and still holds up alongside the best today.

Though I'd say that an argument can be made that Black Panther is better than The Dark Knight. But at that point, we're just arguing semantics.

So you just like general crap action movies (if your talking about the new Hateful 8). Instead of character pieces that consistent of actual story telling and a plot line thicker than two lines of diagloue.

So it might as well be Hur dur.

Okay, so you concede the MCU didn't raise the bar for anything since TDK remains the pinnacle.

Glad we sorted that out.

Nothing keeps me feeling youthful like a dip in a good ole-fashioned weekend box office thread.

Old white women (mostly) have great taste in musicals, even if they have terrible taste in other areas!

I think you guys keep typoing.

The Hateful Eight is the Tarantino movie.

You guys are talking about The Ridiculous Six.

I wonder if Bloodshot could have a higher opening than Venom. Valiant is pretty unknown but Vin Diesel for some reason fills theaters.

If so, does Sony focus on that universe?

Audiences seem to respond pretty well to it, it's doing huge numbers. Hardy and Williams made the right bet after all even when era was insisting this would be a fantastic four level bomb. So I was...right?

I think most people were referring to quality when bringing up Fantastic Four. Though I'm sure some thought it would be a massive bomb too.

No, you weren't right.

You tried that in the reverse without Solo. You said they wouldn't select a bad script.

The truth is, it is critically panned and the consensus among the critics is that is sucks because it is a bad movie with a bad script.

Who says the script was bad? Movie was clearly chopped to hell and back.

Audiences really liked it it appears, everyone wins. My track record remains in tact. :)

Did I say that we were hosting a thread derailing contest this week, and just forgot about it?

Huge box office says otherwise, but I don't really care I have little to no interest in Venom It's all good. It's really really weird you remembered or held on to that fairly old post though lol.

Conveniently missing parts of my posts again.

Stay free, Cheebo.

It's been months since Solo. Why ryu and cheebo still beefing?

Dude was so positive it would outdo R1 and when it didn't, the spin cycle began...just like with the Venom script.
