Man of Steel would be compared to something like Iron Man. A lot people didn't even know Man of Steel was going to be a Superman movie, because his name isn't in the title. All this really tells us is that the MCU makes a lot of money at the BO for having a large universe and lots of moviegoers who follow the MCU. I wouldn't necessarily use it for them, or against any other properties... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kav Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) Can anyone tell me if Skrulls are the Chitauri that were in Avengers? They seem different but Skrulls are Chitauri, right? also how did the tesseract get from Howard Stark to Mar-Vell?

Evolved from the same ancestor, but not really the same thing anymore, and hasn't been for hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of years. I don't know if there's an official answer. But I don't think they're the same thing. kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not because Mar-Vell is a female, but because it wasn't addressed in the movie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot people didn't even know Man of Steel was going to be a Superman movie, because his name isn't in the title. Due respect, but the bolded statement is hogwash. That's like saying folks don't know James Bond films are Bond films -- or that folks didn't know there were two other Nolan-directed Batman films because "Batman" wasn't in the title. And it ignored that Warner Bros. spent at least $75 million marketing the film. And that the film went on to make well over $600 million worldwide, and more domestically (even after adjusting for inflation) than any Superman film since Superman II.

I got to admit I ended up liking the 2003 Ang Lee Hulk better. It grew on me after seeing repeated bits of it here and there on cable tv. The Norton one didn't. I like it,but in the end I will take 2003 Ang Lee Hulk. At times it was just scary. plus I like everything that Sam Elliott is in.

Fury said in the 1st avengers movie that H Stark fished the cube out of the ocean while looking for Cap, so at that point it was back in governments hands. Short jump over to someone needing to do research. Might have been explained in further episodes of Agent Carter we will never see. kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered them but technically not terrorists since they dont target civilians. Ok the Skrulls didnt either in the movie but were initially depicted as doing so to innocent Kree planets also they took a pot shot at Nick Fury who they had no beef with.

paperheart Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 No. 2 is Disney’s Captain Marvel with $8.5M-$9M today, and a $31.7M third weekend, -53% with a running total by Sunday of $318.1M. Today gets her to just over $294M; she’ll cross the three century mark on Saturday, her 16th day of release. $400MM seems a stretch if these Deadline estimates hold.
