@budsbunny4220:

Creeper doesn't need to eat to heal (at least he didn't 8+ years ago when I posted that. He has also healed from being torn apart (same as lost limbs decapitation)

One of the scans I loaded that doesn't work (due to CV making me delete all my scans to regain access to my acc) was of Creeper torn into many parts with his head in one spot and his limbs and torso elsewhere and he reformed in 8 panels. Logan's HF isn't an advantage

It should still matter through, Gear hasn't made any sort of lasting contribution nor has any particularly remarkable stuff over the last year and something, that's obviously gonna be a issue regardless of how much you think regency plays into things

When forever made it in in round 8. He hadn't been active on the forums for quite a few years. He was someone who was respected by all of the first four or five rounds of Hall of fame inductees and was constantly voted for by them each year (with each saying he should have been in before them)but never got any other votes in round 8 I campaigned for forever posting links to many of his old debates multiple times. When current forum members of the time had read them he was a shoe in.

The purpose of the hall of fame it to promote positive and desired interactions on the forum. If a nominee is the right fit they should not be penalised for being less active currently. They have still made their contribution to the forum and it has an equal right to be recognised as such

Please remember that someone needs THREE votes to make it onto the list of official nominees. Voting is open til Sunday.

This does not include people who got new votes, but are already in the list of nominees in the OP, because they do not need to be renominated!

@nixtollo I'm sorry, we can't count your vote, you need a post count of at least 500 to vote.

Just to kick things along consider all these nominees endorsed by me. That means 15 of them need one more vote and 2 are nominees

@agmine570:

Critics tend to give low scores to films based on predictability. They also score low on plots which in many cases these movies follow plots from the comics that I've already thoroughly enjoyed. These are things I expect going into every superhero or action movie. Especially when they follow source material I already enjoy and know well. Its not something that brings a movie down for me (quite the opposite. it's what I want in such a movie).

Audience scores on the other hand are usually (or a large percentage of are) from fans of the source material who have a similar perspective to me and are therefore more aligned with how I would see it.

In my own review of Aquaman 2 RT (which I gave 4 1/2 stars) I was clear they tried too many jokes and several missed the mark but the action and effects were brilliant. The story flowed well for me and followed the path I expected (which is what I want in a Superhero movie). It had a few surprises to keep me intrigued but not enough to diverge from the overall line of the story I expected. Personally I enjoyed it more than the first one. That's me, everyone's different but I suspect fans of the source material aren't and that is probably where about 70% of the audience score comes from

It released here on the 26th, we (my 4 kids and I) arrived half an hour b4 our showing. The cinema screening of it before us was 75% full (there's a screen that shows available seats left of the showing film) ours was around 60% (20 seats still available out of 60 when the theatre opened). Australian box office figures still aren't showing in the figures on the Numbers $126m for opening weekend (potentially they might add another $3-$4m maybe 5). Neither are figures for Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Czech rep, Japan, Netherlands, NZ, Paraguay, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Russia, Slovakia or South Africa. Those regions not reported with box office figures yet added over $80m to the $1.9b international box office of endgame (Aust $24m, Russia $15.6m, Japan $13m Argentina $6.8m, Poland $4.7m just to name a few). Some of the others didn't report figures for endgame either (and usually don't) like NZ and Philippines.

@ghostodoofus2:

That was meant to be audience score not sure what happened but have corrected

The movie has already grossed $126m in its first weekend on a $205m budget. That is with 17 regions out of 40 internationally not having reported box office data yet (some because it didn't release till the 26th, not sure of others) so there's potentially another $30m or so not included in counted yet. The Flash's opening weekend only made $55m and ended up with $270m (almost 5 times the amount). black Adam opening weekend $67m and ended with $393m (5.8 times the opening). So with an opening of $128m it's likely going to finish it's cinema run with around $600m to $700m.

The original only had a $67m domestic opening and a $88m international. Its opening weekend was only $30m more. It dropped 23% second weekend 43% third and an average of 30% per weekend for the 15 weeks of it's cinema run. On that basis this one will have $359m by about 9 weeks. Xmas releases don't tend to run as long as mid year as more movies are.coling out so it might only run for 12 or so (maybe 15 like the first) not say the 19 weeks of Quantamanium. It should comfortably get to around $500m with the start it's got

@ghostodoofus2:

The whole DCEU had a combined production budget of $2.6b and a box office of $6.8b that's a 160% average return on investment (without marketing budget but also without streaming income, DVD sales, merchandising).

The DCEU had 15 movies with an average profit of $300m. That actually is a good run. Movies have had MULTIPLE sequels on a lot less average return. Now it wasn't a great run like MCU, but it was good.

MCU had 33 movies with an average return on investment (in box office only and without marketing budget also) of $696m

For example

the police academy movies (there were 7 in the franchise) made an average return on investment of $33m

The Rambo franchise had 5 movies with an average return on investment of $121m

Rocky had 9 films in the franchise with an average return on investment of $177m

The John wick franchise has had 4 movies with an average return on investment of $193m

Fast and the furious is another great franchise like MCU 11 films with an average return on investment of $506m

All these returns are total box office of franchise minus production costs then decided by the films made. Aquaman 2 hasn't finished at the box office yet. In its first weekend internationally it's returned half it's production costs so it's still got at least another month and a half. This might raise the average another 20-30m. Even if it didn't right now it has been a "good" run a 160% return on investment isn't bad by any means

@ghostodoofus2:

So you just blatantly ignored the fact it has an 80% audience score??

The critics scores are rarely accurate. Frankly whenever I see a good critic score I'm confident it's a movie I won't like. It's usually the average to low critics scores that are worth watching
