TopicWhy are Star Wars and Marvel shows so "small"?

Star wars and marvel are two of the biggest franchises in media. Maybe the 2 biggest

That said they only ever give us 6 or so episodes ranging between 30 and 45 minutes. Theres moments they look great, theres moments they look cheap.

Look at house of the dragon, the boys, stranger things, last of us. Those are made for similar amounts but look similar or better, have more episodes with longer run time. Also have better endings to their seasons

This is coming from someone who has enjoyed marvel and star wars shows. I liked wandavision, falcon, hawkeye, moonknight, andor, some of mando and ahsoka....hell even she hulk was enjoyable

Star wars and marvel also make money from other things which a lot of their competition doesnt. Game of thrones has no box office revenue, neither does stanger things.

Disney is a bigger company than netflix, hbo (not amazon)

All of these shows cost 100-200mil but disney gets less out of that budget than its competitors.

So a co worker warned me this movie scarred her

I watched it and I texted her what scarred her because I didnt flinch.

It was an interesting movie. Emma stone, dafoe and ruffalo definitely killed it.

Unique but not everything landed. Im glad it went out of its way and showed its sexuality. Was that all emma stone?

Based on the trailer and cast list theres no white men playing a major role in this show, and considering this is a prequel and where the timeline ends up I think thats pretty funny.

Never mind white men

Tbf, most of those characters have had confirmed follow-ups for a minute. Bucky, Zemo, US Agent, Red Guardian and Taskmaster will all be in Thunderbolts. Falcon in Cap 4. Agatha's spinoff show should be coming this year. And Spider-Man 4 is almost definitely happening.

The only real question marks have been anything related to the Eternals (including Black Knight and Blade, who we have no idea if his movie will ever release) and Hawkeye. I believe Shang-Chi's sequel just got unofficially announced not too long ago.

Thry have confirmed follow ups but it will take 4 years. Captain america, iron man and thor benefitted from appearing every year or 2 years

Ant man doesnt sound bad. He got 3 movies and 2 team up movie roles. 5 appearances total is more than you could ask for with ant man. Wasp also got 4. That and quantumania ended closed enough (which was a problem).

Captain marvel had 2 movies and 1 team up movie role. Plus 2 minor appearances. She also ended on earth and in peace

Eternals got one movie. The movie is left on a cliffhanger, with the team split everywhere and the earth being shaken apart. While this happens an earth sized alien says he will come to judge the earth. This is a rough spot for these characters and the comtinuity of the universe. If not an eternals 2, something here needs to fill in the gap

Both of those will still get future team up roles

From what I understand the captain america shoots were for action. The celestial part wasnt the issue

Sucks. I liked eternals. I do think it would be best if they were part of some sort of space avengers team before a solo project to get broad audiences into them

The good ant man movies made money

Captain marvel was never given a proper director

The answer is to make better movies

There is no reason Sony can't just cast another Spiderman to handle all the villains from the spinoff movies and leave the MCU Spiderman (Tom Holland) in the MCU. Another option is to finally make Amazing Spiderman 3, as Andrew Garfield has already shown interest in coming back.

There must be some behind the scenes deal that states tom can be the only active peter parker. Thats the only explanation for the spiderman-less spiderverse

Blasphemy.

I liked the core message, the struggle of the daughter. The scene where they were rocks was cute.

That said the humor was too whacky for me. From the buttplug fight to hot dog hands. I appreciate the swing and will always respect a movie that tries something unique but I had to force myself through it

6/10

Darth vader is still being rebuilt. Yoda is equal to or stronger than palpatine. They can both manhandle clone legions. Even if vader was ready, obi wan has shown in episode 3 and the show that he can beat vader comfortably. There should be no inquisitors around to deal with

Bonus just needed to get a hold of ahsoka, baylan should be around, the guy who did the voice of jar jar

I watched thr first a few months ago. Liked the lore, the visuals, the acting. Didn't care for the characters. I landed at a 6/10. My date straight up didn't like it outside of visuals and thought part 1 was a 5/10

She was absolutely floored by this movie, said it was one of the best experiences in theatre and gave it a 10/10. Austin butler being her standout

I enjoyed it more as it is a better movie. Seems to have more and better humor. Some of the world building stuff is done and it can move ahead. Paul has more development and his internal dilemmas are shown well. Action is good. Love the way the sci fi is done from having to take water out of corpses or the way they walk in the sand. I have next to no flaws with the movie. If someone described what this movie is and does Id think I'd love it...but I settle on like it. Usually Im good at explaining what I didnt enjoy but here I can't. I still had a good time but its more "its a good time" than "best theatre experience ever". I land at an 8/10 but 8 closer to 7 than 9. I thought batista and pugh were underutilized a bit. I still dont see the timothee/zendaya chemistry. Austin butler was the highlight. Oscar isaac is still missed

Assuming canon events aren't just cope, I assume it's just an adaptation on a multiversal scale where Miles in 42 would have initially had to deal with that shit, but now that Miles in 1610 got bit things have been adjusted to compensate, much like how 1610 Miles probably would have been the next Prowler if he didn't get bit.

I interpreted it as miles became prowler because spiderman didnt exist in that universe to keep the captain alive.

I still hate multiverse but this is the best multiverse movie
