FJB Economies Latest Victim!

I thought Top Gun Maverick sucked.

Your opinion. Not shared with several million theater goers. Not just nominated for six Oscars and winning one - it has a very long list of awards and nominations.

I think it’s superior to the original in every way. Probably the highest rated film Cruise has been in.

Hooters is having problems because their wings are awful compared to what the used to be. Further, there is a proliferation of breastaurants these days which have a more profitable business model.

And it’s not like girls with a pretty smile and a nice pair of tits can’t find work.

Flush the effluvia, let marginal firms die. The strong will thrive.

I can't imagine why Hooters is in trouble.

Be sure and count your wings.

The next round concluded in the blockbuster "Endgame" - which saw the deaths of Black Widow, Iron Man, Vision, permanent change to Hulk - and possibly retirement for Hawkeye. And others. Spiderman is basically - done. Scarlet Witch is dead. Endgame permanently changed the Marvel Universe, but it also meant - all future movies wouldn't have the Marvel characters people love the most.

Yeah the Heads at Disney want to Gender / Race swap all the characters



Iron Man = Woman [ Stark's daughter ]
Capt America = Blackman - Not a bad actor, just NOT Capt America NOT genetically modified ...
Spider man = Woman and Black IIRC I'm not sure where Miles Moralis fits in
Thor = Woman Natalie Portman ...... seriously ? Portman is someone's vision for Thor ? she did not want to do the 2nd Thor Movie and did not return for the 3rd.

Yeah the original actors are ready for retirement ... retire the series or come up with new characters

Hooters was forced to hire dudes and flat chested waitresses

Disney didn’t do that. Marvel did a lot of that, and some - much before they even made movies.

They have a tough job. As many characters that Marvel comics has, I don’t think more than a dozen, maybe two, resonate at all with even Marvel *fans*. And I wouldn’t even rank Iron Man that high. They’ve run out of most of the popular ones. Hemsworth could do Thor for a long time, but not all the Thor stories would do well on screen. They’ve exhausted the X Men interest. Spiderman was always the favorite - and HE is done, especially after rebooting TWICE.

Ever since Endgame they’ve been reaching deeper into the barrel and truth is - what’s left doesn’t put butts in seats.

In the comics - yep - Cap dies, eventually and Falcon takes up the shield. In the spider verse yep, there’s lots of Spideys. More than have appeared on screen, a lot more. And yeah, Jane does take on Mjolnir in the comics.

I do think the MCU has run its course.

Yes, this is how advanced economies work. Consumer preferences migrate, personal finance ebbs and flows, and efficiencies constantly improve business models. Some firms are willing to invest so they can compete in an increasingly competitive market.

Some industries disappear altogether. Just the way things go

Hooters has been having problems since the early 2000s.

FJB has the prices thru the roof of everything and people are not going out to eat anymore thats what the problem is and you cannot tell anyone otherwise

 

[Kinnakeet]

That's just the tip of the iceberg. You notice those right off. Lots of smaller chains that can't compete with McDonalds or Wendy's are finding it hard to make their fast food stuff cheap enough to compete.

I was just at the Chinese buffet place in Leonardtown - they have all of their prices scratched out and overwritten. It's everywhere and been that way for a while.

Youa actually eat at a Chinese buffet do you know what is in that food that they serve over and over let me start..Toe cheese and broken toe nails because they use there feet to mix up everything on the 5th day of serving that BS..also **** roaches and any other bugs that happen to be in or on the food..the buffet is really just left overs off of someone else plate the night or week before

The thing is, most of the first Marvel movies had an end in sight - the first few, to conclude in "The Avengers".

The next round concluded in the blockbuster "Endgame" - which saw the deaths of Black Widow, Iron Man, Vision, permanent change to Hulk - and possibly retirement for Hawkeye. And others. Spiderman is basically - done. Scarlet Witch is dead. Endgame permanently changed the Marvel Universe, but it also meant - all future movies wouldn't have the Marvel characters people love the most.

What's left? Fantastic Four? ANOTHER reboot? They've really just - run out of material people want to see.

Super hero movies are just dumb
how many times are they going to make a godzilla or king kong movie they were only good when we were children back in the 60's and 70's

It was alright but some of the scenes when he was in the F-14 the F-14 cannot do as it would have falling apart

Not to mention busting the performance envelope would have gotten his pee-pee not just whacked, but cut off.

 

[GURPS]

In the comics - yep

Yes, the comics are fading fast, normal readers do not want the woke nonsense .... and comics have been work for yrs now Robin is Gay, Wonder Woman is a lesbian and so on ....


Anime is the GoTo for normies now, as Japan is NOT Work

Everybody has their opinion, I still thought it sucked.

I bet you do like dark meat, right up your poop chute.
