To be fair Charles, the 3 articles on THR are 2 repeating the same material & 1 referencing them.
And BDTrooper, you can certainly be well-versed in this area while rarely/never visiting that particular site. So I DO believe you.

Guess I’m not as well versed in entertainment news as I thought. Either that, or sexist troll bullsh*t just stays off my radar. Thankfully so, as it adds nothing to the moviegoing experience. It happened with Wonder Woman, the Ghostbusters remake, both which I liked a lot, so who the hell cares what misogynistic cellar dwellars think?

I don’t believe you, BDTrooper.

“I watch a lot and read a lot, and consider myself fairly well-versed with regards to upcoming movies”

Then you’re surely aware of The Hollywood Reporter, right?

Right now, there are 3 articles on THR about the hate that CM is getting. You can’t be well versed *and* not know about this. Again, I don’t believe you. I don’t know why you’re being disingenuous, but I know that you are.

It’s the loud vocal minority.

Agreed. I watch a lot and read a lot, and consider myself fairly well-versed with regards to upcoming movies. But this is the first I’ve heard of any dissent towards Captain Marvel. Maybe it’s the usual ‘fanboy’ basement dwellers who don’t know how to deal with strong female characters in movies. If that’s all it is, who cares? Captain Marvel will be a smash hit and lead right into the colossal hit, Avengers. All is good in Marvel land.

Yeah it’s weird. People really think internet noise effects box office. A vocal minority has no power except on Rotten Tomatoes Audience scores which general audience NEVER view anyway because it doesn’t come up on a Google search. Captain Marvel was always gonna do well, the anticipation is too high for it to fail.

lol what hate? Internet noise don’t even affect any movie one bit, it’s small bubble and 99% of movie going audience don’t even know that there is some kind of controversy

Agreed about Dumbo. I’m always up for a Tim Burton film, even when they aren’t worth the time, but the marketing on Dumbo has left me disinterested. It’s like they are just coasting. That might be okay: the movie probably does not have to be a huge grosser to be a money maker, but it does seem that this story should have the potential to connect on a large level. A full scene or montage of significant scenes before CM could do the trick.

Looks like Captain Marvel will overcome the hate and win

Man, Disney really needs to work hard and make sure Dumbo wins on a small but victorious note. If I were Disney, I’d show a 4-5 minute sneak peek of Dumbo before 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D viewings of Captain Marvel in order to make sure Disney isn’t forgetting about that movie.

I have hope Dumbo will be a success, especially since I read from a Twitter user who read the novel for the live-action Dumbo that it could be Disney’s best live-action remake since Jungle Book and could outgross Aladdin domestically.
