  And you really think that Deadpool’s performance has reversed the fortunes of the MCU….?

  Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think audiences I forgotten that the Deadpool franchise that was made successful outside of MCU, much less X-Men.

  Point is, call me skeptical that that the enthusiasm for that one off event, will be carried over into the next MCU turd they plop into theaters.

    The Marvels grossed 206.1 million. Guardians 3 grossed 845.6 million. Quantumania grossed 476.1 million.

    I’m not trying to convince you to like them boss, I’m just answering your question of “Does anyone actually watch MCU movies anymore…?” which is a resounding: Yes, they do.

        I wasn’t trying to prove their profitability, I was trying to prove that yes, people watch them in response to you asking if people watch them still.

        The argument is for “yes people watch them.” 200 million is a lot of people watching them, regardless of what the movie cost to make.
