Captain America? Phuck no!

"We have the latest rough cut of Captain America: The Search For A New Subtitle for review...!"

[AndyDursin]

I can't even imagine what the budget will end up being -- this wasn't 1 or 2 days of reshoots, this was WEEKS and it's the 2nd or 3rd time they've had to do it. Hiring new actors, dumping story lines...Doomcock was right, AGAIN!

If it's anything less than $400 million, I would be surprised (not even counting marketing costs), meaning it would have to make like $1.5 billion to eke out a miniscule profit, and that's clearly not going to happen. This might be THE breaking point for the MCU. The fact that they haven't been able to crack something as relatively simple as a Blade movie (they cast Mahershala Ali in the title role FIVE YEARS ago, meaning pre-Pandemic! ) indicates just how badly-run this formerly tight ship has become since Endgame. Hilariously, someone on Twitter accused me of "exaggerating" how many reshoots there have been, and that there's no proof. Jesus God, this movie has been pushed back like three times! The Happy Meal promo is going on right now! How much smoke does there have to be before you realize the MCU house is on fire?!

The fact that a movie that's supposed to open in eight months (ha!) hasn't had a single trailer cut for it yet proves just how little of what's been shot (and reshot. And RE-REshot...) is even coherent at this point.

Doomcock right AGAIN!!

Disney investors be like --

[Monterey Jack]

How many reshoots before they push the release date back again?

Anyone who pays to see this is part of the problem. Don't support this garbage Di$ney crap.

You're a vile racist if you don't see this, Andy.

[AndyDursin]

Don't forget a sexist!

It's going to be highly amusing when all the uninformed masses who go see DEADPOOL think "Marvel is back!" without realizing this has been on the shelf and reshot nearly a handful of times.

[Monterey Jack]

Now it appears they're recutting and reshooting AGAIN to excise an assassination attempt.

I would think you'd have to be because it defies common sense. Then again, there is a tease in that trailer with Ross telling Sam "You are not Steve Rodgers. Perhaps in typical Marvel fashion, more is going on here. At least this trailer looked more interesting than the previous one.

But I ask the question: Did it really have to take 4 major reshoots and probably almost half a billion dollars to get to this point? Is this the "tentpole" filmmaking process now for Disney?

I think I appreciated it more when it was fake mechanical sharks with audio/visual sensibilities and craftsmanship of the filmmakers to make it work.

That's the whole problem...it didn't. Had they hammered out a coherent screenplay from the start and simply allowed the cast and filmmakers to shoot it without micromanaging everything to the nth degree, they could have easily made this for $200 million (which is still too high, but a damn sight better than $500 mil ). This is gonna be next year's Dial Of Destiny, a stitched-together Frankenstein pastiche of a movie where the only enjoyment will be trying to pick out the seams.

Then again, the recent D+ series Agatha All Along was made for a reasonable $40 million, as opposed to the $225 mil(!) that She-Hulk or Secret Invasion cost, so maybe Disney is beginning to be more frugal, and it's long past time.

[Monterey Jack]

What the hell.

Horrendous lol. So too is this:
