I used to love all the Marvel movies. and then I started watching one film and couldn’t tell if I’d seen it already and didn’t want to watch it if I hadn’t… and then realised they’re basically just identical stories player by different characters.

no reason to hit up the opening weekend if you’re just going to watch a rerun.

This.

I kinda just fell out of it because when people would discuss one of the movies, it always seemed vaguely familiar but I could never quite remember if that was one of the ones I had seen.

What went wrong is I wouldn’t watch this if you paid me

Didn’t even know this existed until a couple days ago. Like there was no cultural interest or impact within my sphere…

there was no marketing campaign because of the SAG strike

Marvel fatigue + poor advertising mostly, I would think. As someone who likes all the characters in this movie and the marvel universe in general… even I am waiting to watch it on Disney+. No Marvel movie is a must-watch for me anymore, hardly any movies are. Theatres are just too damned expensive.

I’ve actually been wanting to watch this one and didn’t even realize it had released. I thought it was scheduled for early next year. Poor marketing for sure.

The poor marketing is partly because actors couldn’t promote it, so that is another way the strike was effective. It is just a little delayed.

They really aren’t. Go to a Cinemark on a Tuesday, or at a Matinee showing, and it’s like $6 in a HCOL area.

Well youre right, there are ways to see stuff on the cheap. In Canada we have some cheaper theatres, and cheap tuesday. But matinees arent a thing here anymore.

Also because of my job and family I can rarely go til the weekend. And its always me and my kids… its always fun but it ends up being very very expensive.

Better to just wait and watch it at home. Im sure its the same for a lot of people.

That’s fair! And I definitely understand watching it at home, I’ve been doing that more and more since the pandemic.
