It's possible, but honestly I think it's equally likely that the international market, which is not typically known for being as picky about CGI quality, is also a factor. There could also be other issues in terms of direction of individual films and overarching metanarrative not really... effects-heavy sequences may not have the right alignment of creator skillset. I think the action sequences are very often not creative in these films and likewise these aren't really character-driven stories, as much as they try to make them. Blockbusters in the past 10-20 years have really fallen into the Golden Mean fallacy in terms of what they offer, and it's more pronounced with the MCU because it increasingly feels like they have an algorithm to these films, from initial marketing to Disney+ premiere.

There's a piece about it occurring at Amazon (which I have confirmed with an insider source of my own), but I really think that major studios with proprietary streaming platforms have become so data-driven that it's hampering creative and makes almost everything they produce feel like the output of an algorithmic determination.

Eh. Trailer didn’t do anything for me. Looks like a long tv show, especially since they have a tv show incorporated. Still does’t look good.

The Questyen

That looked incredible. If the trailer is a good sign to come of the actual film this might end up being my favorite MCU movie.

Nesbit

Watched the trailer 4 or 5 times now. Really looking forward to it.

RocShemp

Yes, it looks low budget and made for TV. But another thing it looks like is a whole lot of fun. I'm in.

Draven

Looks fantastic. Larson’s Captain Marvel is one of my favorite MCU characters and “Ms. Marvel” was a goddamn delight. I’m totally in!

As for the look, I’ll take color over “rainy grimdark” any day!

TGM

I love it! because it looks like shit and further paves the way for RDJrs return to be the savior of the MCU!

cultshock

It looks like a lot of fun, we can't wait to watch it (my daughter is very excited about the return of Goose).

I really liked the first Captain Marvel movie but this looks like it’s going to be annoying AF. I’ll check it out on D+ but my days of seeing Marvel movies in theater appear to be done. Black Panther 2 was terrible (and looked cheap) and I haven’t even gotten to Ant-Man 3 yet.

We must have watched something completely different because the trailer was great.

nickdawgy

Marvel Movies (and DC) are the only movies I see in theaters nowadays. Especially IMAX. Although I did see John Wick 4 in the theater.

OldBoy

not just me thought as much.

The Antipodean

Yes, nearly 60-year-old RDJ is going to come back and save the day. Yep.

Draven

Same here for John Wick. I did go to Dungeons and Dragons on a solo outing to kill some time but mostly I just stick to Marvel movies. The only ones worth the cost to me.

mndtrp

This was my impression of a lot of the scenes. Especially earlier on when the skrulls or whatever are charging at Monica on what looked like a moon. That looked incredibly cheap. On the other hand, after Ms. Marvel, I'm looking forward to seeing what Iman does in any capacity.

TGM

you're not watching Picard Season 3, are you?

The Cow

or Top Gun: Maverick

Giantrobo

Too many women in the lead. This will bomb.

devilshalo

Sounds like Madame Web.

jjcool

First film did well. This has the potential to do very well. As we know, though, it is so dependent on the story. We get a shitty story, ala WW84, and this will be another female led superhero movie that bombed.

GoldenJCJ

Iger is right, Disney+ has diluted the brand. This looks like a very good movie…to watch on Disney+.

Artman

Are we sure this movie isn't some elaborate joke by Marvel? Just looking at this trailer (and posters, lol) who does this appeal to? A section of the MCU fans I suppose. Probably headed to 450m worldwide...

Nesbit

I on the other hand can't imaging anyone watching the trailer and not thinking it looks like a fun time.
