Darth Richard II Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Dude, the first prequel was a huge hit. Transformers isn't as was never planned out as a trilogy. Thor, as I stated above, is part of the MCU and shouldn't really count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been greeted with enthusiasm by one particular demographic on twitter and hated by everyone else from what I've seen. Maybe they're trying to pander to the group that's been hating on the SW movies for being too SJW? I have to believe that's pure PR spin and not her own opinion, but I don't understand why she'd be on board with it in the first place. But she's seemed like she has a decent grasp of things so far, and her decisions to can the original Directors of Solo and Trevorrow from EpIX after The Book of Henry all seemed sound. So I'm just confused. That or D&D wrote that quote for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Heck, if you want to go by the "it's not a hit cause I didn't like it" metric, Transformers are all abysmal failures, Potc only had one "hit film", the dark knight trilogy ended with shit, and don't get me started on the first two Thor films. LotR was fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LotR was fun though. From what I remember the first movies of each trilogy were all well accepted movies at the time. The star wars prequel wasn t. I hear people complain about those movies since they were on cinema! Another interesting thing is that in nearly all the trilogies I said the third movie scored less than the second and the second scored more than the first. ps you can add star trek to the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike The Last Jedi they performed financially as expected and they sold tons of toys. It also lead into a Clone Wars TV series that was a hit and is still very popular with fans. New toys and The Last Jedi material is not selling well. And idea that they still made a lot of money is not an answer. If product is not preforming as good as it was expected you have a problem. While majority of fans did like TLJ, baklash from some of the hard core fans (those that collect toys and buy all that things) is hurting Disney.
