Topic: Everything Marvel (Movies, Games, Comics, ect...)

I will say it once again, it will be hard watching super hero go up against super hero but I can already tell this movie is going to be special because of that. Good vs good has never been better!

It's not that special when you've got another good vs good superhero movie coming out the month before

I know everyone expected Guardians of the Galaxy or Ant-Man to be Marvel's biggest flop but I am more worried that Civil War or Doctor Strange will be their biggest flop. We will see what happens.

I can't see Civil War flopping, too many of the major characters are in it.

Civil War flopping would probably be more from a critic side and not sales wise. I wonder if Sherlock will be enough to sell Doctor Strange to people?

Also the budget for Civil War has got to be pretty high, which may hurt it too.

Wow, I didn't know about that, crazy. Who was the argument with, Disney?

Wow, just read a article about it and it seems crazy. Normally studios want smaller budgets but it seems like Feige, who fought for a larger budget, was given more control and the other guy, who fought for smaller budgets, got the short end of the stick. Very interesting. I remember hearing Feige getting upset at Marvel Television division also, which makes me wonder why Feige is kept when he seems to get in arguments with everyone.

^Well Feige created and keeps the Marvel films successful, when they start flopping you can blame and get rid of him.

Civil War is not flopping! It will make no less then double it costs. If anything like was said in the past this feels more like a full on Avengers movie then a Cap one alone.

I do however agree that people maybe getting a bit tired of some of the same old formula as in Superhero movies but there's still plenty to keep fresh. If anything will flip I'm starting to get bored with Thor. The next one could flip by current standards.

@Spoony_Tech: Well Avengers Age of Ultron didn't do as well as they expected, Civil War could do even worst.

@DefHalan: Just what exactly is not as well as expected? It grossed over 1.4 billion worldwide! Almost 500 million domestically. If that's bad then they just sound like Square Enix or some of those other game companies that complain that 5 million copies sold isn't enough.

@Spoony_Tech: I remember reading somewhere that Age of Ultron was disappointing sales wise. Especially compared to Ant-Man which had a much smaller budget and still made a ton.

If I'm not mistaken Age of Ultron sits in the top ten all time highest grossing movies. What did they want number 1?! Ant-man made just over 500 million worldwide which is good but nearly a third. I'm sure the budget was maybe a 5th of Age but still. If I recall GotG made about 650 million. Both highly successful but still nowhere near Age totals.

@Spoony_Tech: I don't know. I tried to google it but I just get thousands of sites where people are complaining about the movie. I can't find the article. Maybe Disney deleted the article to try to erase the negativity. I found a few articles that pointed out AoU's section week was lower than expected because of a fight, or something that people watched. I just remembering hearing how AoU was a disappointment and how Ant-Man did surprising well because of the budget to profit ratio.

There's a diffference between flopping and preforming below expectations, if AOU had good word of mouth besides "it's ok but not as good as the first" it probably would of done better even then it's only because they set the bar high which they should be doing. In anycase these films are making alot of money not pocket change so they wont stop making them for awhile.

Not crazy about Spidey's costume, but I LOVE the voice and the delivery. Finally a Spider-man that sounds like a down to earth teenager.

@iKhan: Totally agreed, both regarding the costume and the voice. So awesome to see Webhead finally where he belongs in the MCU.

I think Spider-Man's costume will change between Civil War and his first stand-alone movie.

What do people think about the upcoming Civil War 2 comic event?

I'll read it once it's out in trade but it doesn't excite me, seems like a cheap cross over event rather than an epic story.
