Dan reading Reddit-comments on this surprised me. People are 95 % on her side. I guess everyone really hates the studios always screwing people out of their money.

    Disney’s tone deaf ‘won’t someone think of the billionaire stufios?!’ didn’t really help. The Stresiand effect in full force.

    ‘To bolster their argument, the suit includes a 2019 email between the actress’s legal team and Marvel Chief Counsel Dave Galluzzi, in which the studio attorney promised a traditional theatrical bow “like our other pictures,” while adding “We understand that should the plan change, we would need to discuss this with you and come to an understanding as the deal is based on a series of (very large) box office bonuses.”’

    Homegrove She’s been shafted, but good luck taking Disney to court.

    Disney will find a way out of it, as it all hinges around the words “theatrical release”

    Emma Stone is also suing them over the same thing with Cruella.

    A contract lawyer goes through ScarJo’s complaint. Worth a click n read if you’re interested in it.

    Pffft, I’m not going to watch a CARTOON. Only entertainment that’s meant for adults, like this:

    Didn’t teaser trailers used to be very short and barely show anything from the actual film?

      Yeah, this is pretty spoilerific. I still have very little idea what the plot in the Ten Rings-movie is. Or Eternals, so those trailers were better done. But this is Sony, those are Marvel, so might be because of that.

        Homegrove Sony trailers are always spoiler tastic but the multiverse thing for this has been the worst kept secret for ages. Even casual browsing of the net when loki and wandavision were on meant finding out about it.

        Having said that if you’ve not been aware, don’t watch the next trailer. There’s at least three more big things they can / will spoil for it that weren’t in this one. (Although one is kinda in this trailer but deliberately obscured)

        BTW we’re up to Thor Ragnarok on the MCU rewatch, and fuck me it’s a fun movie. Can’t wait for Love and Thunder, Taika Waititi has promised it’s even crazier.

        • Dan replied to this.

          Homegrove I’d say that and End Game are the best. Great soundtrack on Ragnarok.

          Winter Soldier, End Game, Infinity War, Raknarok are my favorites in that order, after that it’s easier to say the worst movies in the MCU. Incredible Hulk and Thor The Dark World. The latter was REALLY bad, I would have skipped it, but I’d never seen it before.

            Homegrove My Step Son is 11….he’s a real Marvel Nut/Fucking know all……I’m now enduring the Toby Maguire Spiderman films.

            First two are pretty good, haven’t seen either in ages mind. Might be time to revisit. The less said about the third the better. Never seen either Andrew Garfield Spidey.
