Haha, well done.
By what standard did AOU bomb?
These threads are weird. Stuff like this is usually considered too juvenile for console wars on the gaming side, but box office threads are a different beast.
Also, people don't have to eat crow over not liking a trailer. People can not like a good movie. People can not like a successful movie. They don't have anything to eat crow over.

The quality standard.
Okay, that's true.

People still think a Marvel movie is going to bomb, L.O.L.
This no longer the 70's-90's Marvel, this revamped Marvel is more powerful than ever and the brand will continue to make money until the world collectively says enough is enough.

It barely beat out Green Lantern and The Incredible Hulk's opening weekend's, clearly haters are all stuffing their faces with sweet, sweet crow atm.
Bombing is strictly a financial/box-office term. Before any further discourse gets mucked up by this misunderstanding, let's straighten this out.

It bombed in people's hearts.
Just like how everyone pretends the SW prequels don't exist. (Bad news: they do - deal with it)
it didn't lol, but that seemed like a point of contention on gaf for a while.

I deal with it by pretending they don't exist

Are people meant to feel bad when they get predictions wrong? I mean I did think it would be bad and would bomb, but I'm in no way disappointed it didn't. i liked it a hell of a lot ,ore than I bought I would and I'm happy with that. This "eat crow" culture is incredibly strange to me.

He asked which standard, I said the quality standard. "Bombing" is essentially doing bad at something. You can bomb at making cakes if you wanted to, it's not just for movies.

I blame Edgar Wright. If he had never touched the project, it would have broken 60M easy.
If that happens I will upload a video of myself licking my elbow. You have been warned!

Its a Marvel movie, its guaranteed a certain level of box office success and quality.at worst it was going to be mediocre.

Maybe, I'm not too familiar with this shit. I didn't get a hostile vibe from the OP but again that could be my lack of education on the matter.
But it would've been too expensive to direct female characters.
For the record, Michael Douglas wins the award for Best Supporting Actor.
I have now reserved my place in MarvelGAF Valhalla.
you have been internet shamed time to commit seppuku and regain your honour

It's not a culture so much as it is handful of people edging for a year after doing an insane amount of work getting flustered over the opinions of others, finally gaining a release once some subjective validation comes there way.
In short, you worked for months to have the best oragsm of your life over the equivalent of stick figure porn.

Maybe culture is the wrong word, but it's especially evident over in Gaming that whenever someone posts a dissenting opinion he can be jumped on by people saying "get ready to eat crow". It's just odd to me it doesn't generate healthy discussion of the topic at hand, it's just well, exactly what you said.

Seems pretty hostile to me, you've saved posts from 10-20+ posters for the only purpose of making them look foolish. Not so much others being sensitive but rather you looking petty.I'm not hostile at all. Some folks be all sensitive.

My favorite part of crow threads is the people that take getting on the wall a little too seriously.
"No one is going to see a movie with a talking raccoon!"
*GOTG explodes*
"Well I didn't see it because I'm not a Marvel sheep and that's all that matters!"

Can you really say anyone else is sensitive when you created this thread about other people's opinions from a year ago?

Don't worry Dalek I'm sure you're a good dude.
It's everyone else you need to worry about.

I agree, why is it necessary to be like YOU WERE WRONG! So so petty.
It was smaller budget than say, Gaurdians. I think this was right around their expectations. Of course they'd have loved for it to be higher.
