      I’m talking about reviews, not revenue. Suicide squad earned $750 million worldwide. The sequel underperformed because nobody wanted to watch a sequel for it. Revenue doesn’t matter, Captain Marvel is regarded as one of the worst marvel movies and it would need convincing to get people to watch more of it.

        79% Rotten Tomatoes

        6.8 IMDb.

        73% of google users liked this movie.

        Seems more positive than negative to me, but go off then.

          Every marvel score is suspiciously inflated and every marvel fan agrees captain marvel wasn’t good. But sure, I will go off.

            Translation: you want it to be bad and not do well, but everyone else does not share that opinion.

              Translation: Marvel has inflated ratings because outlets love getting attention for liking the popular thing

              Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness: 73% RT

              Ant Man and the Wasp: 87% RT

              Iron Man 3: 79% RT

              Tell me these are great movies everybody loves. I can’t believe I had to argue, with a straight face, that captain marvel is a bad movie

            I’m a Marvel fan and I loved it, but glad you got it off so it wouldn’t keep building up and bother you any more than it already was!

              Great, I’m glad you got to fanboy in the comments section while ignoring every point made. You were really holding it in. Also loved how you conveniently left out that Captain Marvel has the worst audience RT score of any marvel movie (45%, where Thor The Dark World has 75%)

                Great, I’m glad you got to fanboy in the comments section while ignoring every point made.

                …I…was directly responding to every point you made with basic facts on the reviews and the earnings…

                You were really holding it in.

                Sorry, I’m confused. Are you upset with me that I liked the film, or only upset with me because I liked the film and you said nobody liked it so it makes you wrong or something? Like I’m genuinely confused why me enjoying it matters to you.

                Also loved how you conveniently left out that Captain Marvel has the worst audience RT score of any marvel movie (45%, where Thor The Dark World has 75%)

                Does it? I just took the first google links my dude, I didn’t know which RT score they show on the google results page.

                It makes sense though, that movie was review bombed hard by conservatives and misogynists. It comes up pretty much anytime a strong female character pokes at their fragile little masculinity.

        The second Suicide Squad released as one of the first big cinema releases in the pandemic, of course it underperformed.

          It also underperformed digitally and sold almost a fifth as much DVD/BluRays.
