"Flop" has long since also applied to movies that barely broke even, not just lost money. Whether a movie is a flop or not is dependent on expectations. The DC movies were expected to do much better than they did, thus, several of them were considered "flops."
And none of them barely broken even either. Suicide Squad made $750 on a $150 budget. When you actually look at all of them, the only thing that can be considered anywhere close to breaking even is Justice League.

All of those characters either had multiple solo movies, or multiple team-up movies, prior to Endgame.
Why are we arbitrarily treating Endgame different again?
Avengers, Age of Ultron and Civil War were all crossover team-up movies as well. Besides Iron Man, none of the lead characters in those movies had more than 1 solo movie prior to showing up in a crossover.

It's weird how many people have wrapped their entire identity in making sure everyone knows exactly how much people might dislike a movie....
Tbh I've also seen how happy they're the lead actress pisses people off. Both sides are really shitty when it comes to Brie

You couldn't have misunderstood my post more if you tried.

I never said BEFORE the MCU. My point was that the Avengers/later MCU movies did so well BECAUSE they got people invested in Cap and IM THROUGH the movies.

I feel like you were in such a rush to post that you just didn't take the time to comprehend what I was getting at... At all.

Captain Marvel, for example, got one movie of actual character development, and then was immediately pushed into the Avengers movies. And they were movies literally at the end of a storyline, already. She hasn't been nearly as established as others were, and yet now she's mainly appearing in team-up movies.

EDIT: Yes, Ant-Man did relatively "poorly," but Ant-Man movies never made HUGE bank. Meanwhile, Guardians did well. Dr. Strange did well. My point was, currently, they're pushing characters at people too fast. Captain Marvel shouldn't be in purely team-up movies, at this point. Not yet.

Black widow never had a solo film at a until the characteds in universe death.

Hawkeye never had a movie or a solo project and still hasn't.

Vision never had a solo project, not scarlet witch..... i dont really see your point

That's definitely more than breaking even. Suicide squad did quite well.

Armchair box office analysts really don't know how the numbers are counted.

750 m is well within the profit range for a 150m movie.

Its out, I saw it. It's pretty good but there's some very goofy stuff in it. Its a little bit too short for its own good.

Its a popcorn film

(Film, idiomatic) A motion picture without serious dramatic content, a weighty message, or intellectual depth, which serves simply as enjoyable entertainment.

RT is misleading though. 55% just means it's a bit divisive or it has a few flaws they some people can overlook and others can't.

This sounds suspiciously like a "same thing both sides" statement....

Are you sure that "both sides" are really providing an equal amount of discourse concerning Brie Larson? Ponder it for a little bit...
