yeah, see the problem with your arguments against the netflix mcu tv shows, is that you're literally just saying "well I didn't like them".

Nobody has viewing numbers on netflix stuff outside of netflix. You have zero clue what kind of numbers they were pulling in.

But if you seriously want to make a case that Sabrina The Edgelord Witch has more name recognition and built in fanbase than The Punisher does, and that these properties were killed off by sad dad netflix, not house cleaning reappropriations committee marvel.... I don't know what to tell you.

Listen, I understand you liked the shows but they were bad and they were ended BECAUSE they were bad. If they were doing numbers then Netflix and Marvel would have been more than happy to continue their relationship.

Also, Sabrina the Teenage Witch ABSOLUTELY has more name recognition and a larger fanbase than The Punisher, a D-tier hero who's mostly known not for his comic books but for a few bad movies and having his logo appropriated by fashy cops.

Netflix are a licencee.
It doesn't matter how fucking ecstatic they are with something if they're not making it, and don't own any rights except to broadcast.

If Marvel hadn't internally restructured to put all for broadcast properties under the helm of the film division, as part of its move towards making its own streaming service, netflix would have happily continued paying those broadcast fees in perpetuity. They are known properties and they attracted subscribers.

I don't really see how anyone can look at what happened and come to the conclusion "oh, netflix canned them cos they suck!"   

Sabrina as in the fucking Archie comic has broader recognition. If only through the age of the IP.
Dark edgy reboot about stealing penises and making literal deals with the devil ain't something that going to attract a subscriber going "Oh, hey, I know sabrina, I read those as a kid... oh my!"

I always get Buffy the Teenage Witch and Sabrina the Vampire Slayer mixed up for some reason

Regarding the Hawkeye news, how stupid is ERA to take allegations in divorce proceedings at face value? The naivete of that forum never ceases to amaze.

Divorce lawyers are scums of the earth and cosign all this stuff in bitter custody fights.

Admittedly I don't know much about Shang-Chi, but are his powers essentially that he's really good at kung fu?

Really breaking boundaries there for Marvel's first Asian superhero.

I can't wait to see the reactions on REEE when Marvel phase 4  bombs. Have you seen those upcoming movies? No one outside of the freaks and geeks is going to see that shit.

I hate to be this guy, but Guardians of the Galaxy made 770m. I have no doubt an Eternals movie will move numbers as long as they get the right people on the marketing team.

On the flip side, Marvels Netflix and Hulu shows all bombed

Well, lots of reasons for that, mostly poor writing and Netflix not wanting to carry anything but pure winners. If Daredevil was on NBC it would probably have gotten as many seasons as Agents of Shield, another mediocre show about superheroes who don't interact with Marvel Heroes.

Shield was a commercial bomba.

It only stayed alive because Disney owns ABC and Marvel

UPDATED 4:40 p.m. ET: Legal documents filed by Jeremy Renner dispute allegations from his ex-wife, Sonni Pacheco, and level new claims back at her. Renner says he doesn’t have substance abuse issues but Pacheco does, and that her time with their daughter Ava should be limited. TMZ reports the Marvel actor “even states he submitted to random drug testing for 3 months to defeat Sonni's claims" and "hired a mental health specialist to monitor his visits with Ava to prove he was both sober and a capable parent.”

[Lonewulfeus]

Jeremy Renner might have the craziest year of any celebrity. Started out being in the biggest movie of all time, became a summer punchline because of his insane app & music career, and now he's probably going to be cancelled.

Welp, I guess people who find Scorce's statements unfair and a tad gatekeep-y are Nazis now, pack it in boys, the Anti-MCU crowd has reached their biggest low yet.

Sad to see that movie discourse on Era has reached this sort of level, but I guess some people just gotta feel good about their superior Cinema/Kino no matter the cost.

I wonder what pretentious crap should i be watching so that i can avoid being compared to MAGA dudes, just for liking some marvel movies.

Film snobs are the fucking worst.

I don't think you would be banned for saying Nintendo games are formulaic... but you would probably be banned for comparing Nintendo fans to white supremacists.

It's honestly pretty disturbing how many on the last page saw nothing wrong with that comparison. I'm not even that big of an MCU fan these days but it's really not a hill to die on.

Exactly. Not to mention even trying to imply the levels of self righteousness and hatred that the MAGA camp subscribes to in their self-victimization.

User Banned (5 Days): Defending an inflammatory point of comparison over multiple posts

Then you're seriously missing something. If a comparison invokes something so politically charged, you're more or less bringing all that with it. No one is gonna read an image like this and go "Ha ha, it's funny because they're both over-sensitive", they're going to think that the two groups share values in the eyes of whomever created it.

Well it appears we have a different sense of humour I guess. It's a silly meme making fun of sensitivity within groups. One of the punchlines is the oversensitivity of MAGA people so I am not sure why I am being accused of racism lol.

Is this now a Sensitive Thread™?
 

That's the best display of the law of Era.  Get butthurt, claim you aren't, "why don't you just call me a ______, you clearly want to, get them banned.

I think those differences in life experiences can be shared and acknowledged without using them to gatekeep womanhood or restrooms. But they're more often used as a divide rather than as a bridge. Hilary had an opportunity to learn something here but it seems like she just dug her heels in.

Gatekeeping is a cool word and not overused at all. Whenever someone doesn't like the same action figure commercials that you do, just accuse them of gatekeeping. If someone has a different opinion on any topic, that's gatekeeping.

gatekeeping is not as cool a word as normalizing

any time there's anything you dislike or don't agree with for any reason, just claim that it normalizes that thing which only emboldens those who support it, allowing them to take it a step further next time

this is absolutely not the same thing as a slippery slope argument

don't like how the whole blizzard protest thing is going?  say it normalizes sinophobia and makes people comfortable with the idea of criticizing the chinese which will lead to worse offenses down the line

want to take joker down a peg for glorious House of MCU?  obviously it normalizes negative portrayals of mental illness

I don't understand how this is still a thing.  Gay men and straight men are both men but they clearly have different experiences.  It's basically saying "I don't see gender.  Everyone is the same."  That's what liberals would say all during the 80's and 90's.  At some point saying black and white people are the same got under the skin of black people and they had to say, "hold up.  Yes we are both equal as humans but your cracker ass doesn't know the shit I have to go through."

Trans women had to go through more shit but acknowledging that truth is wrong somehow.

[Uncle]

Trans women had to go through more shit but acknowledging that truth is wrong somehow.

it's not a contest of who goes through more

trans women didn't have a traumatic morning when they woke up covered in blood and their mothers had to give them The Talk

nor did they get any The Talks about how to avoid dangerous situations with men, how you have to be careful traveling anywhere alone, or growing up with anxiety that maybe people only really want you for your body and what will happen when someday your looks fade

the pressure to bear children, the monthly hormone imbalances, all of that shit

I'm not saying it's more or less, I'm saying it's different and all adds up to wildly different

[ShutUp]

The Marvel shows on Netflix aren't necessarily bad because of the characters and/or actors.  It's because -- like most Netflix shows -- they are too fucking long.  Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, etc. managed to get their origin stories told in two hours, there's no reason minor characters like Jessica Jones and Iron Fist need 13 fucking hours to do the same.

Spot on.

I mean Thor and those mentioned were structured like a movie. Of course it had to be told within a two hour time frame. Would have been structured like the Netflix shows had they went the TV route with the characters mentioned.

And the shows still got at the least decent reviews all the way up to excellent reviews, with viewers liking the shows too. Whining about TV shows being structured like all TV shows is some quality  tier complaining.

You want to bring up how certain credentials makes others invalid of critiquing how other may be misinformed, as if an MBA from MIT specializes in international social media norms.

So we had like 3 to 4 pages of non-native Chinese speakers/non-sinologists insisting on misinterpreting a god damn idiom despite ethnic Chinese explaining the very meaning behind 粉身碎骨....wow

Let me at least ask this: do you speak any other languages relatively fluently? I think this is important to understanding how languages can work and how translations can often lose the nuance present in the original language. This should be an easily understood concept for anyone who is bilingual or multilingual.
I've already mentioned this in an earlier post in this thread, so this is partially me re-explaining something I've already laid out, so forgive me if I come across as annoyed for having to post about this again. Having the same conversation multiple times is a massive, massive pain in the butt, so I hope you understand. It's not personal.

I don't speak any other languages, no, but I have an incredibly passing understanding of Japanese more or less relegated to sentence structure and grammar particles right now. I also hang around translators, both professional ones and fan ones, and read a lot about what they talk about. On top of this, I'm a professional in the Anime industry who has proofed subtitles before and I can sniff out a lot of times where lines 'feel' translated because a lot of the time it's the result of idioms or sentence structure impacting the way a line becomes written. I fully appreciate the deep and vital importance of nuance when it comes to translation between languages.

In this case, I simply think a threat of violence is a threat of violence. Xi is a known entity. The subtext is no longer subtext. That's what I mean when I say this facade has shattered and I don't think anybody should spend time rebuilding it. The quiet part is loud. The footnotes no longer matter. It's like trying to put the genie back into the bottle.

Serial sex abuser? Dude is a rank amateur compared to the rock gods of the 70s and 80s. He jerked off a few times over the internet with some under age chicks. Who fucking cares? No wonder today's music is so fucking lame. Call me when he gets busted with a nose full of coke, a gun in his hand and a teenager's lips around his cock while crashing his sports car into a tree.
