Was GoG v3 not woke or only a little woke? Or did that one do well based on name alone? I haven't watched a DIsney movie in years, maybe even a decade.
it actually wasn't bad. looks like disney is being boycotted.
Did some brief research into this:
Pedo director aside, apparently, the movie is actually a solid, good-quality movie that is competently written, is produced well, and have a sound marketing plan that, as far as I know, haven't gone out of its way to antagonise the fan base with woke BS. This translates into good word-of-mouth feedback that translates into great box-office returns. Definitely the last hurrah for the MCU.
Was it good as the first two movies? Definitely not, but it is definitely the best MCU offering in recent times, so it have that going for them.
Nowadays, the MCU and Disney brand is so damaged that it needs rehabilitation if any of their actual good movies want to have a chance at being successful at the box office.
“Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1” sold more than 1.75 million copies
Awesome Mix Vol. 2 was the United States' eighth best-selling album of 2017 with 600,000 copies
I cannot find the number of sales of Awesome Mix Vol 3; largely because it was largely tolerable, at best. There is a reason why people by the soundtrack to a movie. The numbers speak for themselves
Directed by James Gunn, a disgusting pervert... https://apnews.com/article/media-social-media-james-gunn-f480137d6cf6a3e1b89ae437a1e89ae3
Guardians 1@2 were truly remarkably fun movies. Great action, amazing music from the Golden Age of Rock'n Roll, funny humor, and really good character development. These were good stories, told in an intelligent manner, that made sense. People were entertained, they could relate to the characters, and enjoyed a movie (which is something truly rare in modern movies).
Guardians 3 was garbage. it was boring, and even the music was awful, with a span of 30 years of Rock and Roll, the Director could not pick 3 songs that could sell a movie sound track (hint: GotG Sound Tracks 1 and 2 sold VERY WELL). GotG 3 wasn't cute, it wasn't funny, it didn't make a lot of sense, it felt artifical, forced and just another shake of the money tree - and it failed.
People went to it, for the simple reason that they held out hope that what was such fantastic fun, with GotG 1 and 2, would happen a 3rd time. It was bitter disappontment.
Disagree - it was one of the few movies that the second sequel held up, IMO. There were definitely some woke talking points, but as far as entertainment has been going it was understated.
And that's fine, we are all entitled to our opinions. However, I do have to snicker a bit every time I hear Glen Cambell's "Southern Nights". Having read a few of the GotG comics when I was much younger, I didn't expect much from the movies. I was pleasantly surprised by the first 2.
The third was a disappointment.
