Microphone (2- USB Audio CO (00:00):
And then there were two.
(00:01):
We are down to the final twomovies in our MCU rewatch.
That's right.
Overall the whole year.
We've been watching the MCU.
Over at savvy geeks and I'm soexcited to beginning to the end.
I love all these films.
And different ways at differentlevels, different reasons, but
I've loved all of them.
I'm just happy to beginningtowards Danny.
(00:21):
Cause it's a lot, it's a lot ofmovies to watch.
And the truth is.
The impressive thing is, I mean,Most of them have been.
Very successful.
There's only been one.
And that's the one we're here totalk about today that is truly
bombed.
And I mean, like, It is theworst.
By far.
Box office run of any MCU movie.
(00:42):
That movie.
Is the marvels.
Which is what we're here to talkabout today.
I'm mark savvy savvy.
So excited to talk to about themodels.
I that's right.
I am excited to talk to youabout the marvels.
I can't believe it did sopoorly.
The budget of it was$374million, but I believe they got
a tax credit in the UK forfilming there.
(01:03):
Let please let me know in thecomments, if that's the case.
And how much it was the boxoffice, though with absolutely
horrid.
$206 million at the box office.
That's wild.
I can't believe how bad it did.
I have this little exit fromWikipedia puck news reported
that the film needed to earnaround$700 million to become
(01:26):
profitable.
Wow.
That's a big number.
They had to catch.
Deadline Hollywood calculatedthe net losses of the film to be
237 million.
Dollars.
That's really bad.
The crazy thing for mepersonally.
I liked it way better thancaptain Marvel.
Way better.
(01:47):
And captain Marvel absolutelycrushed it at the box.
Box office.
They did over a billion dollars.
Over a billion dollars.
Granted the budget for that filmwas way less at 175 million.
I can't for the life of me,figure out why this movie did so
much worse.
Maybe it had something to dowith people are starting to lose
faith in, um, The MCU, maybeit's linked to do with the fact
(02:10):
that a lot of people didn'treally feel like seeing miss
Marvel.
I don't know, but as a female.
superhero team-up film.
I thought it was incredible.
The three core characters were.
Monica Rambo who most of youknow, from Wanda vision.
You have, um, Amman.
Ms.
Marvel, by the way, Mr.
Valon is from Markham.
So shout out to her.
(02:31):
She's she's awesome.
So you had her.
Uh, you'd have to wash some Ms.
Marvel, as I said, and then youhad captain Marvel, which.
Uh, you know, her from theprevious movie.
All the, all those characters.
Absolutely.
I crushed it in this film.
And I really thought that we gotto see a lot more.
Personality out of captainMarvel, so she was great.
(02:54):
Full-time was a really goodemotional photon.
She wasn't called Fulton yet.
Um, Monica Rambo was one of myfavorite.
Characters introduced in thisDisney plus TV show era.
She was, uh, the emotionalheartbeat of the film.
I didn't need you to be captainMarvel.
I need you to be my aunt Cairo.
Like that was incredible.
(03:14):
So good.
And then you have Imana Valaniwho, and I'm not sugarcoating
it.
When I say this.
Ilan Valani in the MCU.
Is more passionate than anyother person introduced in this
new phase of shows slash movies.
Um, they're all passionate.
They all love it, but this girl.
Did a comic for Ms.
(03:36):
Marvel, can you name any otherpeople that have done that in DC
or Marvel?
No, she loved the character.
She's so hyped.
To be in this universe.
She's also arguing with KevinFYGI about what earth.
Earth.
Uh, the MCU takes place in likeshe's passionate about the role
and.
Like, she's not even acting likeher character in the movie was
(03:57):
all hyped and excited to be inthat.
Uh, university and interactingwith her idols.
In Mount Valani is the samething.
You could totally sensorenthusiasm for the character.
And it shows.
I didn't really feel anythingfor the velvet.
Like, I dunno who cares?
I didn't let my wife watched thefilm with me when.
Uh, just now when I rewatchedit, Uh, for the first time she
(04:19):
really liked the singing planet.
I didn't really care for it, butshe loves musicals.
I don't, I haven't seen wickedpeople.
I'm sorry.
I haven't seen wicked.
I'll see a one day just to makeher happy.
One day.
I'll see it when she gets mad atme for something I'll be like,
okay, I'm sorry.
Let's go see wicked.
And then she'll stop being that.
I'm sure it'll happeneventually.
But yeah, like, I don't know,like the villain wasn't too
(04:42):
great that.
I like the charactersthemselves.
And I thought the acting waspretty good.
But the villain is such animportant.
Linchpin in these movies and.
Although I love the acting ofthe villain.
I forget her name.
I know she's married to.
Tom Huddleston by I forget hername.
I apologize.
She did a really good job actingthe role.
But I just didn't feel thecharacter.
(05:04):
And I felt at the end, she kindof just died.
Out of nowhere, like, it's justlike, oh, I'm just going to
disappear.
Didn't really care for it.
I thought it was so cool.
How, um, Monica Rambo ended upin the Fox universe that was
sick.
I just don't know where I trynot to think about too much
about how this leads into otherthings, because I don't, I don't
really think the MCU is toocohesive right now.
(05:25):
So I'm just going to not focuson what that could mean in the
future.
I want to focus on this film.
I thought.
Nick fury was a little funnierthan we S.
We are used to seeing him.
And I don't know if I like it.
But I got some laughs out of it.
Again, Carol Danvers, BrieLarson was at her best.
This was her best ever.
Appearance as captain Marvel.
(05:46):
She absolutely nailed the role.
And w because maybe people likethe serious stoic superhero.
I like my superheroes to befunny.
To build, make jokes, you know?
I liked them to personality andshe definitely.
Had that in spades, this film.
The action scenes were epic.
The visuals that their powersare so cinematic and beautiful,
(06:08):
the light powers that they have.
And how they interchange betweeneach other when they were
switching.
That was a really cool actionsequences.
The marvels as a whole had somany.
Positive, so many good thingsabout it.
But, but none of them wereabsolutely exceptional, like in
a way that I felt they couldvault them ahead of some of the
other.
Um, movies that I liked, forexample, internals might not
(06:31):
have got the best reviews, butwhat they did well, they did
beautifully.
So like it, what I mean is thenegatives of the film.
We're kind of pushed aside abit.
By the positives, like thethings that did well were that
much better than the things thatdid poorly.
And then you have the top.
Uh, movies in the MCU, likegardens the galaxy gone through
(06:51):
recovered last week, where theyhad really no weak points.
So that's I that's just metrying to put in your head.
Why.
The marvels as low as I have it.
Definitely better than captainMarvel.
Definitely better than love andthunder, but those are the only
films I can say.
I like definitive that I likethe morals definitively more
than which is why have it at 32.
(07:13):
I have it at 31 in our MCU powerrankings.
That's right.
It's low, but I did really likeit so much better than captain
Marvel.
So much better.
I know people are going to thinkthe opposite.
Like, look how shit the.
Uh, box offices.
I still can't believe it didthat bat.
I'm blown away by how there'sgotta be some shit behind that.
(07:35):
I don't know what the hell isgoing on.
I got to do some research of whyit did so poorly.
But like, yeah.
It needed 700 million.
To make its money back.
I don't know if Hollywood reportis accurate there, but if that's
the case, like they were doomedfrom the start because I could.
I see this as like a solid$500million movie, you know, like
it's a good time.
(07:55):
It's not going to crush it.
But it's going to do goodenough.
The budget was too high for thisfilm.
Unfortunately, I don't know howthey got to bring these budgets
down.
Uh, quantum mania is budget andthe Marvel's budget.
Absolutely ridiculous.
They have to figure that out.
Hey.
But guess what?
Let's switch gears for a second.
We are down to the last movie inour MCU rewatch.
(08:16):
I know I should trademark that.
One movie left after this.
And the movie.
Deadpool new mover.
Something I've been waiting.
It feels like my whole life for,I was so excited for that film.
And I'm so excited to watch itagain.
That episode is going to comeout on new year's day, January
1st.
And it's going to kick off.
(08:36):
It's going to be the finale, Iguess you should say to season
four of savvy geeks.
It's been such a great year andI'm going to so much.
Amazing positive things to sayabout everybody that is
supporting, but we'll say thatfor the finale episode.
Tune in tomorrow, two days, Iguess, for that episode.
So excited to talk Deadpool overit, and so excited to share my
(08:57):
love and appreciation to you allin our next episode of savvy
geeks.
