“Marvels” is a disaster that could bury the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Miracles It will be the film that buries the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A very weak film that resulted in a disastrous opening weekend. The situation is not improving, and the film’s box office performance can only be described as disastrous.

The drop in revenue between the first and second weekend (in the US) resulted in a huge and unprecedented drop for Marvel Studios in 87%. On Friday, November 17, they barely managed to raise $2.8 million. A few months ago we talked about the absolute failure that Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania when box office receipts fell 69.9% between its first and second weekend in theaters.

Extremely poor results Miracles in cinema marks a trend in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in which both the series and films released after Avengers: Endgame Their quality is getting worse, with some notable exceptions. Spider-Man: No Way Home And Guardians of the Galaxy Part 3they are stored in the cinema. Ms. Marvel, Hawkeye And WandaVision This is the most decent thing in the case of television.

But films like Eternals, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania or Thor: Love and Thunder and a series like Secret Invasion revealed that these are not specific cases, but rather a very disturbing trend in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We shouldn’t be surprised by Disney’s decision to stop everything and completely overhaul the way these shows and movies are made.

More reasons for the terrible failure Miracles

Not even the presence of Brie Larson, that this is a series continuing the events Miss Marvel, or the fact that the film shows the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe saved it. Unfortunately, the production just isn’t very good, and to make matters worse, the real fun comes in the post-credits scene.

Moreover, the franchise is faced with the almost undeniable fact that the Multiverse Saga is boring, confusing, lacking a clear common thread, and to top it all off, Jonathan Majors, the actor who plays Kang – the main villain who replaced Thanos – has been accused of physical abuse and oppression.

To add to this, Marvel has explained the multiverse in five or six different ways, in different productions. There seems to be no agreement among the writers on how to introduce parallel realities into the franchise, and it’s honestly an absolute disaster. . We saw this for the first time in Spider-Man: No Way Home from the spell, then the approach changed a little in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. But in Loki it seemed like multiverse branches were created due to time delays. Finally, in Miracles multiple universes are discovered as a result of the destruction of space due to a very large concentration of force.

In addition to the unnecessary but self-imposed complexity of the multiverse, there is an absence of some of the characters that made the Marvel Cinematic Universe famous for being iconic and well-crafted. They simply couldn’t replace Tony Stark, Steve Rogers or Natasha Romanoff.

Perhaps the X-Men and Fantastic Four will help Marvel rebuild, find its way again, and create new stories that will reconnect with audiences. Let’s hope they’re not just using nostalgia, although the footage seems to be heading towards that.
