Add "The Penguin" to that list.
It is only natural:
a project that fans have asked for for years doesn't have a single creative direction, but already planted ideas in so many different heads of fans. Expectations are various, everyone wants to see his/her version realized, while the studio struggles to understand what those versions are.
A project no one has asked for does not have any expectations yet. It has a single creative vision by the creator and can't really disappoint.
I’m with you except for those last 3 words. It can’t disappoint preexisting expectations that don’t exist, but it can certainly still disappoint!
I'm so burnt out on both universes that it is only the raving reviews of a few entries that will bring me back now. Prior to ~2019 I would literally see every entry in both.
The need for new ideas is paramount.
I really liked when a marvel projects were just uncommon enough that each movie was an event, in the avengers 1 days. I’d like to see a return to that and something similar with Star Wars. These big companies and CEO’s have no concept of over—saturation and franchise-fatigue
"Nobody asked for this" is such a stupid argument. As if people are only allowed to do something if they were asked for it
THEREFORE, I'M HERE BY ASKING ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING
There, the next time somebody asks "Who asked for this?" send them here and tell them I did
Apparently it's an unpopular opinion, but I liked Thor 4. Could they have done more with the source material and premise? Definitely. But "what might have been" doesn't take away from the movie that actually got made, IMO. And that movie was better than pretty much any of the contemporary MCU movies post End Game (maybe even going back to Black Panther, or at least Ragnorak)
Huh. When I say nobody asked for this, it's Thor 4 or the latest in a long line of sequels. And I would argue that "Agatha All Along" and its ilk are not "creatives coming up with new ideas" but executives trying to cash in on a popular character because they recognize the flagship characters are declining in popularity.
I think that's what people mean when they say that. Nobody asked for another sequel to whatever, we want new and interesting stories.
It seems like the OP in the screenshot is sort of strawmanning?
