I'm just "loving" how we saw Magento EMP the whole planet and yet people are still siding with him.
At least mutants can screech about Genoshia to humanity, unlike 616 where Cassandra did all that shit (and she still lives in the comics, last I checked).

Y'all need to look at this: https://www.the-numbers.com/market/

Screen-Shot-2024-05-08-at-11-21-05-PM.png


The number of annual ticket sales in the United States all used to be above the baseline of one billion before 2020, peaking at over a billion and a half in 2002 and 2003...

In 2020 it dropped by over a billion less tickets for the first time to just 200 million...

And it took two years for it to be just over half a billion and we have still yet to go back to reaching the 1 billion tickets threshold.

Let that sink in.
Makes sense. Movies have been largely shit since 2020, the current trend of releasing movies on streaming at the same time as release since Covid, and to a lesser extent a lot of Americans are sick of most celebrities these days

Since 2020, I’ve been to the theaters a grand total of 3 times: Just now to watch Gundam Seed Freedom and for Top Gun: Maverick, and Equalizer 3

Before that, I was a regular movie goer

I don't like Nintendo profits getting higher because it just gives them an excuse to keep up the fuckery that they've been up to in general/rest on their laurels :char
I'd rather nintendo be doing what they are doing now and have been than them suddenly turning into Microsoft or Sony.

90% of complaints about nintendo are how they handle copywrites and how they handle smash bros competitive community
their consoles aint the strongest or the fanciest but hot damn do they at least put out games

So I have a question for y'all:

Are there any local theaters around your area in America (assuming any of the other people in this thread I'm addressing are my fellow Yanks)...

Currently in danger of closing due to the following factors:

1. COVID (and its enduring ripples)
2. Inflation (increasing the most depending on your area)
3. Proliferation and surging of video streaming platforms and services?

Or a combination of the above?
Nah we good right now

Nah Nintendo is notorious for bullying small businesses due to copyright laws
But they are definitely better than Sony considering how Sony like to control too much shit about game they release using censorship as an excuse.

Well even here local theater's barely cameback after covid.

so yea it's expected, also those who are paying for online services like netflix, amazon prime etc just kept their subscription rather than going to local theaters.

could venom actual take over someone that strong?

:eksip isn't there an upper limit for venom to take over someone and they can just strip it away from them at some point like pete did?
In one What If, Venom manages to take over the Hulk and has troubles controlling Thor. I guess he can take control of Mark.

Speaking of, I think this movie just confirmed that Shin is indeed the more skilled pilot than Kira when he’s keeping his head cool. Or least now after having to really focus on skill for the time spent using the Immortal Justice which wasn’t meant for him.

Kira was getting no grounds and fighting purely on the defensive when facing the bad guy and one Black Knight and only got out of it from Athrun bailing him out (yet again) and Lacus showing up for his Strike Freedom to go God Mode. Strike Freedom was getting torn apart until that happened.

Shinn in his now outdated Destiny Gundam still DESTROYED 3 Black Knights like nothing and set up a 4th one to be killed by Hilda. No powerup, major upgrades, or anything needed, Stella just came in to stop the Black Knights from attempting their BS mind control tactics on him.

Movie was supposed to be about Kira and Lacus but Shinn and Athrun in his goofy ass Z’Gok disguised Justice Gundam ended up being the real MVPs here
