re: Disney in panic mode as Marvel shows tank.

First of all, RT scoring system is about as bad as Amazon's. Totally rigged.

RT is not a grade, it's an aggregate that looks at "rotten/fresh"- in other words, pass-fail.

You pass if the movie considered tolerable. There are lots of MCU movies and shows today that are tolerable; the effects and action are professionally done. There's generally a built-in audience that will at least give it a watch, the plots are mundane but usually coherent. You go in, are generally able to follow what's going on, nobody loves or hates it (the term, I think, is "it's a decent way to pass a few hours when you don't have things to do). They generally LOOK ok. Nothing's campy-bad to the point of being a direct-to-video B movie.
That's probably a 5 or 6 out of ten... and thus, Fresh.

The MCU gets consistent fresh ratings because nothing's SO bad you just turn over to a rerun of NCIS or something like that, in the middle of it.

Black Widow at 91%... I saw that. I don't give it a 9 out of 10, I doubt I will rewatch it. Ever, honestly. But it was ok, didn't suck. 91% of people agree, it was ok and didn't suck (in their opinion). So, it gets a 91.

Didn’t have to look to know you started this thread.

At first I thought I had to watch all the shows to stay in the loop for the next big team up movies, but after Moon Knight felt like a chore I said frick it. I’m not watching all this watered down shite, it’s too much.

Too much content and it’s majority dog shite

I’ll never watch a single scene of Ms marvel, she hulk, etc.

I seriously doubt they are in panic mode. What their profits went from $4.2 billion down to $3.9 billion? It’s a drop in the bucket for Disney

The parks are making money, but they aren't investing in the parks.

The streaming stuff isn't making money, but they are investing in streaming by making woke crap.

The stock price tells you how investors think this strategy is going to work out.

Without telling us you're counting the days until The Marvels ...

So There is no discussion of it in the video you posted in the OP?

None at all?

Or are you full of shite?

You're giving us the generic fairy tale version of what RT is SUPPOSED to be. But like we saw with Amazon, RT has throttled its scores to give favorable reviews to the big studios.

---

The big studios are putting out 'acceptable' movies. These are big-budget superhero comic book movies, nothing Oscar worthy. Disney has ILM doing the effects, the films LOOK polished.
They are putting actual respected actors in these films, not like a lot of 80's action films. There's very little in the line of actual "jeez, that guy can't even read a script coherently". Like I said, they aren't B movies.

Very few are compelling, but that isn't the bar.

And, yes, the mindset of the viewer has changed. I'm a huge Saints fan, a few years back I was debating whether to watch the 1st round of the NFL draft (a ritual for me and many others), or Infinity War opening weekend. Now I'm generally leaning on watching a movie when it hits Disney+, instead of on the big screen. (The Saints are down now too, but that's a different topic).

Yay more shitty YouTube videos as sources

Spider-Man FFH 95%

Loki 90%
Black Widow 91%

Eternal 77% audience
Hawkeye 90%
Spider-Man NWH 98%
Dr Strange Universe of Madness 85%
Ms Marvel 77%
Thor 77%
She Hulk 36% first real flop

Say what you want about wokeness or whatever but Ms Marvel was way better than Hawkeye and Falcon/WS - those two sucked and didn't do anything

The tv shows have become like comics that would release before movies to provide some back story, hardcore people will watch because they’re fans but they’ve been largely unnecessary viewing for the MCU as a whole.
