The Marvel superhero series of movies entered a state of inadequacy after the complete end of "The Avengers", and the ending of "Avengers" left countless fans with difficulties - the death of Iron Man, the death of Black Widow, the fat Thor...
Although Iron Man has passed away, at least three personal movies have been made, and finally he has desperately saved the world and died generously as a hero; although Thor is fat into a ball, it is also a matter of minutes to lose weight, and then he and the Guardians of the Galaxy will also appear in the movie together.
But Black Widow is different, she has always been a tool man, and as a popular hero, she does not even have a personal movie. In the end, he died for the Avengers, and he didn't even catch a funeral.
Fortunately, Marvel has always promised that there will be a Black Widow solo movie, and at the beginning of this month, "Black Widow" was officially launched, but a good movie provoked a chicken feather.
Today there are media reports that Scarlett Johansson is suing Disney because the film was synchronized by Disney on Disney+ when it was still screened in theaters, causing Scarlett to lose about $50 million in revenue.
The widow's lawsuit said Disney wants to divert traffic for Disney+, in which case it can reserve revenue for itself while increasing its streaming user base.
If the movie is put on streaming media, it will cause piracy, foreign media said that "Black Widow" is obviously affected, the first week of box office 80 million is already the highest since the new crown, the result of the second weekend box office plunged 68%.
Because the contract was signed in 2019, the terms of the contract at that time regarding the release time of the theater were in accordance with the standard of 19 years, that is, the release time of 90 days to 120 days. After "Black Widow" was finalized, the widow sister team also communicated with Disney, but it was "ignored".
At present, the release plan of "Black Widow" is to be released in theaters for 33 days, and the release can be spent on Disney+. Dvd and Blu-ray discs go on sale on September 14, and all Disney+ users can watch for free on October 6.
With such an arrangement, the box office of the movie "Black Widow" really has little room for growth.
Disney's reply was also interesting, saying that it had complied with the contract signed with the widow sister, and that the lawsuit was really sad! Some people are completely disregarding the global impact of COVID-19! And the widow has already received her $20 million in compensation! And going online Withiney+ can greatly enhance her ability to obtain other compensation.
It sounds like Disney's response is seamless, but it's actually a matter of avoiding the heavy. At present, combining the statements of the two parties, I understand the following situation:
The contract signed by widow sister and Disney did not mention, at least did not clearly state that Disney+ would be launched at the same time as the theater release. After the launch of streaming media, it caused irreversible piracy problems, and the overall box office and even streaming revenue will be affected. Although the widow has already received $20 million and more income in the future, this amount of money can be more.
Not to mention that Disney put popular movies on Disney+ to make a long-term profit, but this long-term income does not belong to the widow.
Disney has been doing this since the epidemic, after all, the box office will not be too good during the epidemic, so Disney has adopted the strategy of releasing the theater and Disney+ together. This is not only true of Black Widow, but also Kuira and the upcoming Jungle Cruise.
This model of simultaneous theatrical streaming was criticized as soon as it was launched, but no matter how loud the opposition was, it did not stop Disney from draining Disney+.
So then again, it has reached the point of litigation, is "Black Widow" good? I'm here to say, it's very ugly. I've always found the role of Black Widow boring, so I'm looking forward to her solo film letting me learn more about the character, and as a result, hey. The following has spoilers, watch with caution.
Widow sister attaches great importance to this film, spent 10 years and 6 months in the world to find the right director, and finally picked the Australian director Cate Shortland, the highest achievement is the 2012 launch of the work "Girl Loho", won four awards at the Stockholm Film Festival in Sweden.
The widow sister also chose this director because of "Girl Loho", and she liked the way the director handled female characters. The heroine's parents lost contact with their children because they were too late to tell their children their whereabouts, and the heroine took on the task of taking care of her younger siblings. Of course, the core of the story of "Girl Loho" is much deeper.
Then the director used this element of family and affection on Black Widow. So the film became a vivid "Awakening of the Virgin".
In the film, Black Widow and another little sister and a fake agent form a temporary family of four, and as a result, the two girls are sent to the Red House by fake parents for agent training. After black widow and reunion fell out, she accidentally contacted her sister at the time and decided to blow up the house.
In order to break into the interior of the Red House, the widow sisters found the former "parents", and the four of them fought side by side to form a family unit again. In the end, the widow sister had to say emotionally: "If the four of us can get back together, then I and the reunion can also do it!" ”
So the widow happily owned two homes. One home is this fake home that has not given any warmth for more than twenty years, and the other is a reunion home that has not even given a funeral.
Let's start with this family of four. Mom and dad work for the red house, dad went to prison and broke his wrist with people every day, mom is committed to studying brainwashing techniques, the pigs in the family are more obedient than robots, and they never want to find two daughters.
The younger sister is still working in the Red House, and as a result, when she was on a mission, she let people take a small spray, suddenly woke up, and many years of brainwashing were so cured, so the sister sent the brainwashing small spray plus the childhood photo to the black widow.
As a result, as soon as she met her sister, Black Widow suddenly found that the founder of the Red House, Drakeff, was not dead at all? Well, a family of four living their own lives suddenly began to stage a touching affection because the Black Widow wanted to kill Drakef again.
Mom, who had worked for the Red House for more than twenty years, was so vulnerable that her family had mutinied, and her father, who had been sent to prison by Drakeff, would suddenly coax the child. The family formation was so fast that I thought they hadn't been sprayed with some brainwashing spray.
Finally the Red House was blown up, and the Black Widow cried and said to the little widow, I'm sorry I should come back to you. Why does the Black Widow have never had a moment when she wiped her fingers and wiped her fingers to shed tears before.
Black Widow does want a home, but that doesn't mean Black Widow has to accept garbage, does it? Black Widow, have you forgotten who killed you as an assassin? It's the pair of moms and dads in front of you!! Angry at me.
Let's talk about another home, reunion. The character of Black Widow has been with the members of the Avengers since its inception. Black Widow often appears in other heroes' solo films when she doesn't have a solo movie. This time, however, there was no cameo in Black Widow's film.
The entanglement between the little spider and the reunion is small, then his third personal movie can still have the main character cameo of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the good villain.
Indeed, the timeline of Black Widow is after the Avengers Civil War, and everyone was busy at the time. Black Widow temporarily mutinies and leaves Team America and The Winter Soldier to anger Iron Man, and team America and winter soldiers go to Wakanda with their imprisoned helpers, Hawkeye and Ant are under house arrest, Thor is in Asgard, and Hulk is in Saka Star.
Absolutely? The first and final solo film of "Black Widow" can perfectly find a time when no one can join.
But no one joins the history of directly and honestly playing the history of black widow? No, it must also be associated with the reunion, and the new widow must be pushed out.
After the complete end of "Reunion", the Marvel movie seems to have entered a downturn, from the little spider to the black widow and even the two episodes on the disney + are flat, the villain is even less capable, the opponent of the little spider is a group of drones, and the opponent of the black widow is the red house that can be handled by a single spray. What is this!
Anyway, I support the widow's lawsuit against Disney, and someone must stand up and end the capitalist's unlimited trick to make money. But the movie "Black Widow" is really not worth wasting movie ticket money or Disney + subscription fee + movie extra charge for the audience.
