Gimme Star Fox movie

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Thank ****ing god the MCU is dying.

FTFY.

There's the Spider-Verse films and Amazon's Invincible after all.

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

I think the problem never had been superheroes but the MCU in general. We have the Spider-Verse films and Amazon's Invincible. Those thrive to be their own thing rather then blatantly copy the MCU's formula which many franchises have attempted (Especially the MonsterVerse since KotM).

Well, I mean, yeah, especially Marvel's cinematic universe. They preferred quantity over quality in terms of films released, and I think that was killing the superhero thing in the movies.

 

[TheMightyP]

You guys do realize that superhero movies still make bank, right? They ain't goin nowhere

 

[KingofPhantoms]

A Wind Waker movie would be the most gorgeous thing of all time, and it pains me that it's heyday has passed and we ain't getring it.

Considering how much the toon-styled characters have been used outside of the mainline games by Nintendo over the years, especially for marketing,
I actually wouldn't write off the possibility of a Wind Waker movie or series just yet.

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

I just would like to see the fad replaced, so just because they still make bank, doesn't mean another fad could replace them, even if they are still making movies.

On that note, how do you all think video game movies would affect the minds of those video game haters? Not much positive stuff, I bet, but what do you think?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Uhhh no they're not. The MCU films notably haven't been making as much as they used to. Ant-Man 3 didn't even break $500 million.

Black Panther 2 didn't hit a billion like the first, Thor 4 only made $769. It's declining but slowly.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Agreed. I love the Animal Buddies. I wouldn't mind seeing new ones though, mainly new flying ones.

More animal buddies and more playable kongs on their own and not as power ups for DK. And don’t give them their 64 weapons by default. Maybe make them a power up or something but by default they should just use their own Kong abilities.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I just heard a clip of LTG calling someone a ****let and I shouldnt be laughing this hard. Been laughing everytime i think of it

Oh yeah, I happen to agree! I wanted to see new Kongs in the games since I was a kid.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Oh yeah, I happen to agree! I wanted to see new Kongs in the games since I was a kid.

I was just talking about bringing back the old kongs but yeah, new ones too. Bring back Kiddy, Chunky, Lanky, and Tiny. In addition to all the characters from Tropical Freeze. And finally let us play as Candy Kong! Maybe let us play as grown up DK Jr?

mob yeah, those ideas I like, especially playing as Chunky, Lanky and a grown up DK Jr.

Black Panther 2 didn't hit a billion like the first, Thor 4 only made $769. It's declining but slowly.

Ant Man 3 didn't break $500m cause it sucked. Multiverse of Madness is the 3rd highest grossing movie last year and was just shy of 1 billion, BP2 was 6th that same year, Thor 4 was 8th, and there's considerable hype behind Guardians 3. They're not going anywhere.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

mob yeah, those ideas I like, especially playing as Chunky, Lanky and a grown up DK Jr.

Plus, since I've been replaying the original Country trilogy, i'm reminded of how much I've been missing the original enemies, and not just the Kremlings. Gnawties, Neckies, Zingers, Chomps, Croctopus, etc. Bring them all back please!

 

[TheMightyP]

If we're talking DKC, I prefer the Retro duology ovee the Rare games. Though if I have one issue with those games, it's that they don't allow you to play as Diddy, Dixie, or Cranky unless you have a player 2.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Man, Peter Parker can't catch a break nowadays, can he?

the only Peter Parkers allowed to catch breaks and unleash their inner chadery are…literally everyone but the original

 

[Hadokeyblade]

FTFY.

There's the Spider-Verse films and Amazon's Invincible after all.

Just because the fad is dying doesnt mean the genre is.
Same thing happened with Spy flicks or westerns after all.

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

Yeah, I would love to see those enemies again too.

Now that you mentioned Donkey Kong Jr., I am obligated to post this.

that’s awesome

That and folks wanted to go see the majesty that was Cocaine Bear instead.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

also both the MCU and GOOD video game based movies can coexist at the same time y’all

the movie that made $87.1 million worldwide had nothing to do with Quantumania’s box office

Maybe in money but the quality is where it was.

True but aren't they also like the most expensive to make movies these days? They need to make bank bank bank to break even/be profitable.

"Superhero fatigue is finally kicking in"

Has been said every year since The Avengers came out.

So has "It is kicking in for real this time"


I swear this conversation happens every week at this point.

 

[Schnee117]

Most big movies are making less than they used to, it's almost like there was something that caused everyone to avoid going out for a year and a half and studios to rush their movies out to home release.

The only increases outside of event movies (even then, Way of the White Saviour made $600 million less than the first one) are Dr Strange and stuff that was never a box office hit like Scream and John Wick.

True but aren't they also like the most expensive to make movies these days? They need to make bank bank bank to break even/be profitable.

Yeah but most of them are generally breaking even and profiting. Even Ant-Man 3 is just about making a small profit.
The only out and out flops over the past year are Morbius, Black Adam and Shazam 2 (which did worse than Morbius).

In 6 years, we will be having this same convo except it's about video game movies (the Xenoblade movie just came out and this thread had enough)

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

I take back what I said when I responded to Michael earlier. We should wait until superhero movies really start to decline in profit before saying they are dying. If they are still making bank, which I am sure they are, then it is too early to call.

 

[KillerCage]

I was 12 when I first joined Smashboards, like a few months before I turned 13. Today is my 22nd birthday.

I hate being an adult.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!









Wait.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Y'all will be sitting in fatigue and I'll be having fun at Illumination's DKC movie and Sony Pictures Animations Crash Bandicoot and Banjo-Kazooie Movies

Banjo Movie theater experience

Why would it stink?

Why would it stink?

I'm familiar with the audience

 

[Pink Yoshi]

I'm really not feeling well, so I took some rest

Anyway I've never really been into superhero movies outside of Spiderverse anyway, but I say let people watch what they want to watch, and let them see what makes them happy ¯\(ツ)/¯

Now that's just rude! I don't smell that bad, do I?

Good, the world could use less people like that guy.

I love how we're blaming Marvel for everything now but let's not forget that DC and Sony are just as responsible for this superhero fatigue as Marvel is with DC's inconsistent output and Sony's near universally awful output (Spider-Verse notwithstanding)

Marvel may have started this trend but the other companies don't get to go scot-free

Well, I did not mention it, but I was leaning towards blaming DC. I didn't know about Sony until now, but other companies ARE just as guilty.
