They had to because of the actors strike and couldn’t finish production on schedule. Not because Feige and co. goofed lol.
well it could have in some way but that was a writers guild strike doesn't necessarily paralyze everything. one thing I could say that Marvel didn't want to gamble/risk on it cause promotions alone are really expensive and can go as much as the whole movie production. not sure if it has to do with the poor reception of Ms. Marvel that made the producers 2nd guess the film or didn't believe it would have the same success as the first Captain Marvel or poor writing trend.
Been avoiding you gumps until my 16-yo son* and I could knock it out.
*Today, he's a child under 12. With a slight mustache. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
im guessing if the projects moves forward, IronHeart, America Chavez and Skaar would be added?
Wiccan and Speed maybe?
with regards to D&D films, I watched both. the 1st one was a flop although with a small budget and seemingly short and unfinished film that lacked some crucial plot, it is bound to fail.of course it makes sense
so many video game movies has generational chokehold on the audience that has done terribly, its actually a trend until Sonic and Mario broke that mold
but even then there are still misses, D&D has a whole lot of fans, decades worth and actually got a resurgence lately (especially during the pandemic) and the movie flopped badly and the reviews says its actually a good movie and that was also accurate to the games
and again, BO is getting back or else 5N@F wouldnt have made $80m (terrible reviewed and supposedly had no scares)
already pointed out Barbie, Oppenheimer, Mario, etc… GotG made $845m, Spidervere $700m, etc…
Avatar made $2.3b last year (a lot of that came from 2024 too), TopGun $1.45b, JW3 $1b, MoM $955m, Minions $940m, BP2 $860m (despite no chadwick), etc…
so you may be able to say smaller budget films may not make money because people dont want to see them, a lot of the blockbusters - if good and/or marketed well - make money
despite the strike lasting several months, 2023 box office is already at $7.7b total in november while 2022 ended at $7.3b and theres still a Hunger Games movie, Aquabro (which had a good chance of flopping), Wonka, Trolls2, Wish (pixar), Rebel Moon (Snyderstans gon actually show up?), etc…
They had the slate of tv shows and movies generally laid out before the strikes took place though.
can you elaborate this? what you meant by toxic male fanbase?
People also love to say “well this movie wasn’t made for you anyways” yet “the people” they say this movie was made for ain’t show up either.

They took a step back with the shows to see what was needed and what they can trim off. As for the movies, the two that were scheduled to come out next year in DP3 and Cap Brave New World, weren’t even finished or hallways through principal photograph when the actors joined the strike. Let alone post production, or if they were to need to do reshoots. So again, this isn’t because they goofed.
