At the end of the day, I still think everyone and their grandmother knew Spider-Man was in the movie.
None of that is true of Wonder Woman in BvS. Does nobody realize how small the internet portion of a films audience is? Things we know online ARE NOT THE NORM. Most of a films gross comes from people who see the OCCASIONAL TV spot, and maybe 1 trailer. So therefore since Wonder Woman and Spider-Man were in the trailers and television spots for their respective films, the vast majority of people knew they were in them. I agree. _________________

But hey, keep pitting Marvel vs DC. I'm sure that's good for your health. You brought it up when you got annoyed at the predictions. Then Brian brought it up with his silly Captain America/Thor 2 comment. And I still love that you think I'm mad. I'm not a comic book geek. These movies mean nothing to me other than hopefully being good. My interest is in people tying themselves into knots over fanboyism - being loyal to a company's brand.

Re: JUSTICE LEAGUE less than $325m club* zwackerm wrote: People knew fucking Wonder Woman was in it. End of fucking story. And people knew Spider-Man was in Civil War. I never said people DIDN'T know she was in it. But she was not a huge marketing point, and her being in her own film, and being heavily marketed for JL will help this increase over BVS. _________________trixster wrote: shut the fuck up zwackerm, you're out of your fucking element trixster wrote: chippy is correct

Re: JUSTICE LEAGUE less than $325m club* And AGAIN. I'm not loyal to any brand.
I've literally seen (almost) every comic book film. And I love MOST of them.
I'm one of the few people who LOVE the first Thor. (and the first Hulk).

Re: JUSTICE LEAGUE less than $325m club* Yeah I don't believe Chippy is only loyal to DC even though I kinda see him liking it more than Marvel I wouldn't compare him with the likes of Brian.

You'll happily move the goal posts (i.e. Wonder Woman in BVS marketing) in order to support said defense. You like every DC film that's been released in the last 12 years, including ones pretty soundly hated by audiences and critics. Yeah, you are, sir. You don't have to hate Marvel to be a DC fanboy. I was an utter Nintendo fanboy and still owned a PlayStation and liked games on it.

It just so happens that it doesn't often happen with Marvel films. And I like every Marvel film that's been released in the last 18 years. Am I a Marvel loyalist? I like 95% of the films I see. I'm sorry that you don't. _________________trixster wrote: shut the fuck up zwackerm, you're out of your fucking element trixster wrote: chippy is correct

Re: JUSTICE LEAGUE less than $325m club* Do you get mad when people don't like Marvel films?
I only rail on this behavior because it's exactly the same stuff I did when I was younger. If you could have seen some of the Star Wars fanboy shit I posted circa 2001/2002... yikes. Or Halloween. There was a time in my life when I thought the worst Halloween film was better than the best Friday the 13th film.
Now I need a drink.

Re: JUSTICE LEAGUE less than $325m club* "when I was younger" lolol
I don't get mad when people don't like DC films. I don't get mad when people don't like Marvel films.
But yes, there is a part of me that is more defensive towards DC than Marvel. Mainly because Marvel gets enough praise, does it really need me defending it?

Re: JUSTICE LEAGUE less than $325m club* IDK what to make of these aside from that the trailer isn't close to the BVS Comic con trailer.

Re: JUSTICE LEAGUE less than $325m club* I do know better. Which is why I'm not constantly trolling everyone all the time.
Only a select few.

Re: JUSTICE LEAGUE less than $325m club* How come every comicbook thread becomes a DC vs. Marvel clash?
I watch nearly every DC and Marvel movie even the ones I know in advance of that they're stinkers...
Judging by the trailer I guess JL will be a stinker too and I'll watch it anyway... But because JL looks like a stinker I just can't see that MORE people want to see it after many people already thought that MOS, SS and BvS were stinkers... (not everyone is as easy to lure into a theater as me)

Re: JUSTICE LEAGUE less than $325m club* I think the trailer was good enough and gave enough of the new characters that it has a good base to continue marketing from.
But this club can for sure happen if WW is really bad and does under $200 mil.

Which one is which? The Dark Shape is pretty much always right when it comes to DC vs Marvel, and Chippy is pretty much always wrong.
