The human gallbladder is indeed a puzzle!
Do they even have megabudget moopies anymore? All I see from the Phase 4 list are bunch of clunkers and whole lotta TV shows. Now that the OG crew of almost every super high paid actor has left with the exception of Chrish Hempsworth, Benditor Curbandatch and, uh, Scarbo is on her way out after Black Widow: No One Cares What Happens In This One (?).

They also don't need to wrangle up everyone for the Avengers movies anymore which I imagine lessens the need to shell out like 360 Million buckaroos (holy hell) like they did for the Purple Scrotum Man final.

Budgets are always going to be high when you have to pay 10000 digital artists.

I bet Shang-Chi will cost $150 million despite having a more unknown cast.

That's exactly the budget! I googled both its budget and the Black Widow budget (200mil) last week because the cheapness of Shang Chi annoyed me. Half of the trailer looked like it was lit with nature light only.

Also Chang Chi is not really a Chinese word, I could go on but whatever.

I've watched the first season of Schitt's Creek and it's... fine?

It won a bunch of awards in later seasons so I'm wondering if it's worth sticking it out for another 57 episodes until it becomes great.

they'll do something slightly unexpected in the tail end of the early movies in the phase that gets people talking and builds anticipation for the next big event
that's what happens every time
the hype cycle is as much a part of the marvel formula as the villain being a bad version of the hero

my guess, they're going string a small plot thread through the mid-credit scenes of the four movies that are released this year so people will show up to the next one to get answers/find out more

or maybe it won't be mid-creits maybe it'll be just before the credits this time 😲

galactus maybe? secret wars? house of m, secret invasion, marvel zombies?
oh wowwww they didn't even say anything about that! that means that blahblahblahblahblah they're gonna blahblahblah and 90% of that will turn out to not matter but people will forget about that because the movies will be enjoyable in their own right (the "return of the jedi" effect)

Marvel successfully stuck the landing on the project to incorporate all the moopies into a cinematic universe with a clear end goals of Defeat Thanos, Make Billions, Establish Brand. the next part imo is actually interesting to me - what the gently caress do you do next? do you spin it all up again for another decade with new bad guy, returning cast, replacements etc.

If Disney stopped making their megabudget super-hero movies, they would just spend that money on middle-of-the-road family comedies like Flubber and The Mighty Ducks. Whether or not that is an improvement is an exercise left to the reader, but it's not going to suddenly turn into a flourishing of artful cinema or anything.

the strong ecosystem is what makes for the occasionally good moopie, even downstream effects like instead of other studios imitating disney-marvel by inventing the dumbest poo poo like the snyderverse or the dark cinematic universe they now imitate disney by running their own diverse line of mid-budget films makes for a healthier community that might squeeze out something good once in a while

an era of non-stop good films is unrealistic, it's never happened, but you can definitely improve what we have currently because, by all standards, things have been pretty dire since like 2007 imho, and i think it's because these megaprojects vacuum up too many resources

I don't think they're putting all their eggs in the next Fantastic Four movie feat. Buff Jim Stretchman because it's destined to be mediocre, but I imagine they want to set up Dr. Doom as the next bad guy. I figure Marvel goes this route because these movies require robots to punch and if Dr. Doom has one thing its endless armies of robots.

For a while there it looked like Skrulls were gonna be the main thing that gets punched next, but I don't think people liked it. They'll still try Skrull punching for a while but eventually go back to robots.

The Marvel movies have always been more star-makers rather than paying out for massive names. It's funny to see the old casting announcements for the Thor and Captain America movies with writers being confused why they were casting unknowns and not like Josh Harnett or Shia LaBeouf lol

Both Secret Invasion and Marvel Zombies have already been announced for Disney+, and WandaVision heavily cribbed from House of M. It is weird that they haven't announced an Avengers-level team up movie, though I could see the Eternals movie setting up a new cosmic big bad (it probably has to be Galactus)
