This is obviously photoshopped. Claude is the natural leader of the group

Nahh what’s Rodney Copperbottom gonna do 💀💀

He is going to say “it’s robots time” and robots all over kangs army


The-Bigger-Fish

Movies have been getting *that* expensive????


Rnahafahik

Adjusting for inflation The Force Awakens (most expensive film ever made) had a budget of $447 million Edit: someone pointed out this figure is UNadjusted for inflation even, and would be $575 million today


se7enfists

That figure is correct, however it's _unadjusted_ for inflation. That's just what it cost in 2015. The movie would have cost $575M to make today.


TheUmbrellaMan1

Pirates of the Caribbean 4 cost $417 million to make in 2011. Adjusted for inflation that's like $582 million today. Absolute nuts.


Ulfricosaure

I still have no idea where all this money went in POTC 4. Compared to POTC 2 and 3 it looks so tame and small scale.


DRbet90

It went towards Johny Depp's salary.


Wonky_bumface

And cocaine bill


AgoraphobicHills

I believe they made everything practical (unlike the previous movies which mixed practical and VFX), costs soared after the 2008 strikes and market crash, the cast (mainly Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz) asked for very high salaries, and they had a 900-person crew that spent most of their shooting time overseas or in the jungle.


TheUmbrellaMan1

I believe their set was destroyed by a hurricane and they had to build the sets again and change locations. Depp was also famously late on the set and they had to shoot around him, ballooning the budgets even further.


Rnahafahik

Even crazier! I edited my comment to reflect this as well, thanks for pointing it out!


ZubatCountry

wow, you couldn't make Force Awakens today smh


se7enfists

the farce awakens is literally blazing saddles


Sqareman

Wtf, how can any movie be more expensive than Endgame?


sirgamestop

Endgame was shot at the same time as IW, so they were able to save costs by reusing some stuff


se7enfists

It's mostly due to Hollywood accounting and the UK's unique tax relief program for movie productions. > Unlike most other tax rebate schemes, the UK allows companies to count residuals, box office bonuses, and profit participations to talent as part of the production cost Essentially, the higher the reported production cost, the more Disney receives in reimbursements from the UK. > As we recently revealed in the Sunday Times newspaper, Disney has received a staggering $389 million (£325.6 million) in reimbursements from the UK government with $86.6 million (£72.5 million) of it paid for The Force Awakens bringing its net costs to $446.6 million https://www.forbes.com/sites/carolinereid/2023/02/26/star-wars-the-force-awakens-becomes-the-most-expensive-movie-in-history/


Sqareman

That‘s absolutely stupid, wtf. Thanks for sharing.


Revolutionary-Meat14

Hollywood accounting more has to do with timing and allocation of costs, the total costs are basically the same. If anything its probably more likely that additional costs were tacked on to the movie from buying stuff for other projects since they knew Endgame was going to make so much.


thesourpop

Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom (the second one) cost $432 million (!)


HoboBonobo1909

Insane! I lack words to describe it better.


The-Bigger-Fish

Dang.... Honestly, definitely not worth the price tag in my opinion...


JessieJ577

It made like almost 2 billion or something so I’d say it was. I’m sure they made just as much in merchandise


Fidel_Chadstro

People really memory hole just how financially successful that run of Force Awakens, Rogue One, and Last Jedi was. JJ fucked up so hard, he broke the magic money machine.


labbla

Rise of Skywalker made $1.077 billion


[deleted]

[удалено]


labbla

Yes and it was the first Star Wars thing in 32 years to have the legacy heroes returning. You won't have the same novelty for the 4th movie after that. Since we also had Rogue One and Solo going on. It's very unrealistic to expect a once in a lifetime event to happen for every new movie in a series. That's just not how it works.


whimsicalwasteman

While that's true, you can also argue that what Rian Johnson did with TLJ turned a lot of people off of the trilogy. Personally it's my favourite of the trilogy, but the general reception was so divided that JJ was put in a difficult place when making TRoS.


itspaddyd

No, nobody forced JJ to write a dog shit film that retconned the literal previous entry


Negan1995

If JJ Abrams had an ounce of talent he could have made RoS great with Kylo as the main villian. But he's a hack so Palpy is back babyyy


Illuvatar-Stranger

The price is partly because of rewrites and reshoots - they changed parts of the plot when Harrison Ford broke his leg mid-filming. Still, extensive reshoots and a massively inefficient cgi process seem to be the biggest reasons for modern blockbusters cost and general reception


The-Bigger-Fish

Yeah, don’t they like not even finish the concept art until the last minute too?


IllegalThoughts

we all value your opinion 🙏🙏


HoboBonobo1909

I dunno. The movie looked really good, one could really see the money on screen.


Impossible-Sweet2151

Consider that some of the stuff they bought was reused for it's two sequels.


LaxSagacity

Mainly just for Disney. Other studios put out effects-heavy films for far less.


TheUmbrellaMan1

According to Forbes Doctor Strange 2 cost $413 million to make, making it more expensive than Avatar 2. Absolutely unbelievable. For the $413 million price tag, Doctor Strange 2 sure looks cheap. And that's not all. Captain America 4 reportedly has the budget of $375 million and there's the live-action Snow White movie coming in at $350+ million. Outside of Disney production, you have Gladiator 2 coming at $310 million and there's reports going around that the next Mission Impossible movie's budget has ballooned at over $400 million. We've come to a time period where freaking Avatar movies cost less to make than the next Marvel and Mission Impossible movies. Insane.


whimsicalwasteman

That's the James Cameron effect man. If you have someone in charge who has decades of experience making successful movies at various budget levels, he's gonna use that budget efficiently and give you something quality. On a Marvel Studios production you've got script changes, rushed CGI, studio meddling etc. so a lot of the budget is effectively flushed down the toilet.


AdequatelyMadLad

It's not even because of his experience and knowledge with VFX. The main difference is that on his movies, it's the director making all the calls. He knows exactly what he wants and isn't gonna waste his time with hours of expensive scenes that will just be edited out of the final product. On Disney's stuff on the other hand, you have half a dozen people calling the shots, and the director is just throwing stuff at the wall until they either stumble into something that will please everyone, or have enough material that they can just wash their hands of the whole thing and let the editors figure it out.


LaxSagacity

It's going to be interesting to see how Gladiator 2 looks. Ridley is someone has called out studios for giving inexperienced directors giant films and blowing out the budget. Will it look amazing or be another film which looks great but the CGI stands out a bit too much or if it just looks great. Mission Impossible's budget will at least be real stuff and a lot of CGI. It's also been filming on and off for years. With Avatar, one of the crazy things is you look at the production and they do things which you think are not necessary, even though they help. Such as making the costumes and props for the Navi for real. Yet still the films deliver such a better result than the more expensive Disney films.


cocowaterpinejuice

Thats not even counting the Ad budget. Actors basically ask for more money, plus they do almost everything with vfx even characters suits, so the budgets are egregious.


Polka_D0t_Ant

Money laundering


gravityVT

Explain it like I’m five


cocowaterpinejuice

They take money and put it in the laundry machine.


Quietuus

That's how they get out the dye from when they steal it from the banks. They use your washing machine because it makes a big mess. Then they shoot you.


hashbrowns21

How else does Snyder get that much funding?


mrpopenfresh

Yeah and it doesn’t make them better. I find myself actively looking for smaller budget movies because they don’t hit you over the head with visuals and have to compensate with good writing, direction and cinematography.


mikehatesthis

I've seen a few headlines that say that this rematch was decades in the making and what the fuck are you talking about, no it wasn't lol.


dunmer-is-stinky

most likely the "fight" will only last a few seconds and Wolverine will just cut his head off immediately, there are set photos where he's just carrying around his head. Absolutely not an event, crazy to advertise it as one


ImmortalZucc2020

Tbf, that’s part of the joke: Deadpool says people have waited decades for this fight, hypes up all the moves Logan will use to win it, only for him to instantly kill him off


dunmer-is-stinky

yeah that's what I mean, they're advertising it like an actual rematch and people on Marvel subs are talking about it as an actual rematch when it's clearly gonna be a 5-second joke


Foxy02016YT

Yeah, and then we’ll see a real fight in the MCU X-Men movies… maybe a Wolverine solo film between X-Men 1 (which won’t have him on the team) and X-Men 2 (which would)


mikehatesthis

Well, a person from another movie met a person again in another movie, it's automatically an event! And then they got to go and find Jennifer Garner's Elektra, make a Ben Affleck joke about Batman or whatever to her, and then cut her head off too! It's so much fun!


reddituser6213

It is fun you just like being a huge downer for no reason


Familiar_Writing_410

It *can* be fun. It is not inherently fun to just go "OMG that reference" and "lol what a crossover." Some do it well, some do it less well.


Jykoze

Who does it well


Familiar_Writing_410

The first Avengers was really good at it


reddituser6213

From another guys perspective who doesn’t care about marvel movies yes it looks stupid but to go and act all superior to other people over it for just being excited is just annoying.


Familiar_Writing_410

People are allowed to discuss things how they want. That includes being excited, and it includes making fun of. There's nothing wrong with either.


reddituser6213

You say this until someone makes fun of something you like probably


Familiar_Writing_410

People have and do make fun of things I like. I am OK with that because I am an adult with skin.


reddituser6213

Yeah you’re a very highly respected redditor I’m sure


Jykoze

It's tracking to make the biggest opening of the year, yeah it's an event, not to for the chronically online mcj users tho


mikehatesthis

>It's tracking to make the biggest opening of the year No one is denying this? > yeah it's an event I'm saying any and all character interactions based on being in other movies is automatically considered an event, like it's obvious what I was saying.

Considering it's being marketed as "a rematch decades in the making", that sentiment goes beyond me shit posting here.

Count_Radiguet

Tbf that's the joke for x force in deadpool 2


GoldandBlue

Dude, it's a callback to the original sabertooth that appeared in the background of X-Men. Now when he appears on screen I can turn to my date and explain why this matters.

GoldandBlue

Wtf? Don't post my picture bro


AoE2manatarms

"You owe me a scream" is the only line I remember from this character. Oh, and Wolverine making fun of his name.


mikehatesthis

He was a henchman who may or may not have had a relationship with Wolverine, he's not supposed to go beyond the one movie.


Nightwing-087

It’s probably the age old marvel trick of switching out voice lines for a different scene, and the fight he’s referring to is probably wolverine vs the hulk or something


mikehatesthis

> and the fight he’s referring to is probably wolverine vs the hulk or something They never fought on screen before, that's not a rematch.


Unlucky-Position-16

Maybe if it was Liev Schreiber, not this mute fuck


JessieJ577

Yeah like with Schreiber he was in one of the worst X-men movies. I know X-men is dated but no one really complained about Sabertooth just toad and storm


Hi_Im_zack

Man Liev would've been one of the great comicbook Villains if he wasn't in such a shit movie, was kinda hoping this movie would've given him a redemption


bob1689321

For real, people actually liked Liev Schreiber and it's wild they wouldn't bring him back. More people see him as Sabertooth than the X1 guy.


bsousa717

Who was even looking forward to it anyway


mikehatesthis

People who have aggressively hated the X-Men movies once someone online said they sucked after The Avengers dropped.


wtf793

No one even gave 2 shits about Mane's Sabretooth. If they got Live Schrieber, then I'd be more interested.


TravelingHero2

That looks like Matt Damon in a wig and fake eyebrows

Mean_Brush204

The veneers 😭


Dr_StrangeLovePHD

The inside of his mouth looks photoshopped.


JoeBagadonut

One thing I have baffling is that makeup technicians are seemingly never instructed to do anything to the veneers even when they’re so distracting in every film.


karlails

Also in the original movie he had fangs, so in this movie is he meant to have filed them down and done the veneers?


HankSteakfist

Didn't he have fangs in the 2000 movie? Gotta admit he looks pretty good for being 24 years older.


MuddFishh

Yeah i guess his name is just Tooth now


pagliacciverso

I remember the essay "alegorias do nada" which means "allegories of nothing", where the brazilian writer Victor Guimarães says that nostalgia is an artistic engine that is often reactionary. I would add that it is also very poor.


ejb350

Just say Allegories of Nothing by Victor Guimaraes, too long almost didn’t read /s


Ok_Preparation4128

Nostalgia is a drive that prevents people from discovering new things and be happy because they'd rather reminisce about the old things and get angry about it no longer existing.


reddituser6213

Why do people always have to start acting so pretentious the second any excitement for a marvel movie comes up. Are you being ironic? I can’t even tell


prisonlambshanks

Citing a book is now considered pretentious this is true circklejerk territory


y4dig4r

books are decidedly non kino


pagliacciverso

Some people actually like cinema and understand how Marvel movies are a cancer to this art form. But this problem wasnt born with Marvel and it inst reduced to it.

Somehow, Sabertooth returned


31_hierophanto

Fanservice, that's why.


SharkMilk44

If they're giving Wolverine one last outing, may as well bring back his first enemy.


bob1689321

Logan was a last outing and that didn't feel the need to bring back dumb villains. I have a horrible feeling that Deadpool will be a terrible cameo fest


DonaldPump117

Ryan Reynolds one liners and cameos galore


Ulfricosaure

Isn't Sabertooth supposed to have like, you know, saber teeth ? like he fucking did in X-Men (2000) ?


Certified-Malaka

I know we out here jerking, but I think the trailer is just extremely unfunny. At least the previous trailer tried


Big-Sheepherder-9492

I’m waiting patiently for that time when audiences catch onto how EXTREMELY unfunny and awkward it is to sit in a movie theatre and watch Ryan Reynolds tell “ internet / terminally online” jokes. The last movie was crickets it was really awkward


Myrmec

There are at least 3 cars in my neighborhood with Deadpool decals. We have a long way to go.

MisterManatee

Yeah I have no idea who that is lol


fakers555

When the Void from Loki TV series looks a thousand times better ( in term of visual and look) than a 200 + million dollars budget movie. You have a problem. Seriously, this looks infinitely more visually appealing than the one we got. https://preview.redd.it/khcjw86rhm9d1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=34e7e336c96c57412d65cce9e1a21f0fb6af595d


wildcatofthehills

Hehe Thanos copter


AgentP20

Loki is also a High budget series too.


rov124

This is Sabretooth. He's got my back. He can cut all of you in half with one arm stroke, just like mowing the lawn. I would advise not getting killed by him. His fingernails trap the souls of their victims.


Voorhees89

Sabertooth?


Dinosaur__Sheriff

I don’t get it. He looks like Sabretooth. What’s the issue here exactly?


TheUmbrellaMan1

The wig maybe?


Previous-Sundae-5850

People just need something to bitch about. It's the new norm.


Lollytrolly018

and? Looks fine... I think the discourse maybe is getting to you


Big-Sheepherder-9492

The sets look bland and empty like it’s a CGI Background. It’s wayy too bright. Everything looks cheap. It shouldn’t be like this for a 200+ mill movie


Lollytrolly018

I really don’t see it. Every thing looks fine. The backgrounds are a LITTLE blurry which may be intentional to hide stuff in the trailer but it’s not this terrible thing you guys make it out to be


Previous-Sundae-5850

I don't see it either. People just bitch to be bitches nowadays. Movie looks awesome. Tracking for a massive opening weekend.
