[QUOTE="M_Natas, post: 8990154, member: 7025918"] But people don't go to the Cinema to see a world (except maybe Avatar ... but I think James Cameron made a deal with devil - his Box office record os outright scary - with 11 movies he is the highestgrossing director ever and made more money then steven spielberg with his 30 movies ...). In order to be successful you need characters. Pirates of the Caribbean was a succes because of Johnny Depps Jack Sparrow. The MCU was a success because they made us care about Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Thor and even the freaking Hulk and a Raccoon! But that is also the reason the MCU is struggling right now, because they have problems making us care about the next generation of avengers. I mean, who cares about the eternals or Shang-Chi? Star Trek works best, when they succeed in making us care about the characters. That's why it's usually needs like three seasons of a new Trek show to become good. They need to build up the Characters and need to make us a care about them. Ironically they actually did that with the prequel novels. That should have been the first movies/series in the D&D cinematic universe. To make us getting to know the characters and make us care about them. That's why John Wick is working. The first movie made us care. That's why we watch part 2, 3 and 4, because of the emotional connection forged in the first movie. We have to see about that. My guess is, outside the D&D bubble not a lot of people took an interest in the movie. That's why it's bombing. [/QUOTE]
