No, shitty movie fatigue is real. I bet we'd all watch 100 superhero movies if they were fucking good (which would necessitate them not all being the same too).

It's like watching someone falling down a long flight of stairs in slow motion.
You are powerless to stop it, in many senses all that you will witness has already happened and cannot be prevented.
Watching as arms, legs, ribs, and the head go end over end bouncing off every step.
The poor bastard's face contorted in some bizarre mix of the joy they had at the top before the fall, the confusion as to what in the hell is happening, and the horror born of instinct older than our words to describe them at knowing their is no happy ending at the bottom.
**ka-thump** an eternity later **ka-thump** again and again down what seems like a flight with end.
At least that what it feels like watching Disney and their decision making to me.

Hell yeah. This just motivates me more not to watch in theaters, while I enjoy watching Dune.

Latest rumor I heard was they bring in the Tobey Mcguire Spidey and he's in and dead within the first 5 minutes of the movie.
Sure that will go over great with all those people who loved seeing him, Garfield, and Holland all together in a movie being one of the highlights of recent comic book flicks.

I feel like they're going to do something shocking like that. Had a dream where Thanos returned (from a different timeline) and the movie opened with him attacking Earth. He kills off a bunch of the new characters that people didn't like (Ironheart, She Hulk, etc) to escalating crowd pops. Just absolutely murders them all and shocks the fuck out of the audience, culminating with Captain Marvel. (I'm not intentionally trying to target female characters here, there just AREN'T ANY male characters in the new badly-received lineup). Then Dr. Doom comes in as a shadowy figure and stops Thanos, defeating him easily and then disappearing with no further elaboration. Movie continues on with the remaining good guys (all the characters people liked) trying to pick up the pieces and figure out who the hell that was that saved the day. Sets Doom as a bigger threat than Thanos right out of the gate, shocks the audience in a good way, says "we're BACK" immediately.
Or they could just do that except bring back Tobey Macguire to have him be the one that gets murdered at the start. Hilarious that they have to bring back a white male character to have someone to kill since there aren't any they can kill in the New Gen lineup and everyone else has protected status

I think it’s pretty obvious that they’re using this to shore up what they view as loose ends like the Raimi Spiderman, anything Fox X-men, etc to put an end to this poorly received multiverse shit and get their preferred versions on one planet. I think it’s short sighted because of actors aging but they’ve shown themselves incompetent at best with planning since Infinity war and I bet they owe that working out to the Russos and dumb luck.

Disney’s Infinity Vision certification requires a screen width of at least 50ft, laser projection, and Dolby 7.1. There are currently 5,500 screens globally that qualify, 3x Imax’s worldwide footprint, per Bloomberg
Disney seeking to create a new certification so they can charge higher ticket prices for relabeled premium theaters that aren't IMAX.
Walt Disney Co. is partnering with movie theater chains on a new large-format screen certification that will roll out in time for the release of Avengers: Doomsday in December.
To qualify for the new Infinity Vision label, auditoriums will need a screen width of at least 50-feet, laser projection, and the 7.1 surround-sound system from Dolby Laboratories Inc., according to people familiar with the matter.
Close to 5,500 screens globally — about three times the number of Imax Corp. venues — would meet the standards for the new label, said the people, who asked not to be named as the information is private.
The founding of Infinity Vision is in part the result of the fact that superhero film Avengers: Doomsday — from Disney’s Marvel Studios — doesn’t have exclusive access to Imax’s screens when it opens the weekend of Dec. 18. Imax has an agreement in place to screen Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Three from Warner Bros. Discovery Inc.’s film studio, which opens the same weekend. Disney contributes more to Imax’s revenue than any other Hollywood distributor, and is partnered with Imax on several upcoming releases including The Mandalorian and Grogu in May.
Representatives for Disney and Imax declined to comment.
Imax has become an increasingly crucial component in the making and marketing of Hollywood blockbusters. The company, founded in 1967, works directly with marquee filmmakers to develop proprietary cameras that capture exceptional detail, licenses its large-screen technology to cinema chains, and offers round-the-clock quality monitoring and support. Studios regularly set release dates based on how many Imax screens are available to present their films.
Last year, Imax recorded its highest-ever year for box office sales as moviegoers seek out more immersive experiences. Tickets to some screenings of the first movie filmed entirely with Imax cameras — Christopher Nolan’s upcoming The Odyssey, from Comcast Corp.’s Universal Pictures — sold out last July, a full year before the picture opens this summer. This Thanksgiving, Netflix Inc., which has historically resisted releasing films in a large number of theaters, is distributing Greta Gerwig’s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew in Imax, although not every cinema operator has agreed to show it.
A number of theater chains began holding conversations last year about establishing an industry-wide certification for their premium screens, which are marketed separately under brands such as AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc.’s XL, Regal Cineworld Group’s RPX and Cinemark Holdings Inc.’s XD. Theater operators would still be able to offer their own big-screen brands alongside the Infinity Vision certification. Disney hasn’t disclosed how many chains it’s signed up so far.
The chains discussed the need for Hollywood studios to help market any new certification to ensure it would be successful, Bloomberg reported at the time.
