Now you are squirm by this Topic to desperately "prove" that you are NOT wrong with your early comment at all.

That is realy pitifully and pathetic!

Also you drop soft insults on me because i disagree with your opinion! That is even more pitifully and pathetic!

I am not even fully against your opinion to the Green Lantern Movie at all, i simply say that it give people outthere that actually liked the GL Movie a LOT! And thats true! By ignoring this and constantly repeat your wrong Statements you look more and more like fool to me.

KalvinEllis wrote: The comic book fans who are perceived to be the vocal minority had nothing to do with the movie's failure. They don't comprise a fraction of the general movie going audience and that general audience couldn't care less what fanboys say about a movie like that. By your logic The Force Awakens should've flopped because of the fan protests towards John Boyega. Or BvS would fail due to the protesting towards Ben Affleck's casting as Batman. Just stop. Fanboys can't make or break the box office revenue of a 200 million dollar movie. Firstly your examples with the Batman Casting and Star Wars are not very good. The Cast example is similar to the Casting of Heath Ledger as the Joker but after the Trailers everyone was excited for The Dark Knight! And Star Wars is a BIG franchise already, so the critics cant ruin the Box Office.

But Green Lantern is to the most of the People a Nobody and not a established "Brand" for being an awesome Space Movie like Star Wars. So in THIS SPECIAL CASE, the Fanboys RUINED the Box Office for the Green Lantern Movie (not completly alone, there was also a boycot for 3D Movies at the time but they have a segnificant part to the Box Office failure)

I DONT say this can happen ALL THE TIME but in the Green Lantern Case it was happening!

please do a favor to all off us and take your own advice!!!!

We are off topic long enough

Given all the stupid crap you've been spewing throughout this thread, I'd say it takes a lot of nerve for you to call me the fool here. lol Let me repeat this again in a somewhat simpler way, it's irrelevant if the brand is big or lesser known, comic fanboys can't make or break a movie like that. These movies and their promotion caters to people who don't read comics or don't take the time to argue with each other on wikipedia pages. This type of audience does not care one bit if someone like me said on social media that the movie was crap. The bad word of mouth came from all of the review sites that these people check out(including RT), not just from comic fans who said the movie would suck after they didn't like the debut trailer. The people who were not convinced to go see the movie, saw the reception it got from "professional" critics, and chose not to spend their money on it, while a lot of those that did, came back saying almost nothing good about it. There were many, many people who did that, combine the fact that the movie didn't open in many foreign makets for months and you get the result. Guardians on the other hand was embraced by both the "professional" portion of the critics, as well as the opening weekend movie masses. Even if fanboys had shunned the movie, it wouldn't have made any difference because it was already embraced by the people that "matter", while in the grand scheme of things, fanboys' opinions simply "don't matter". That's why in the most basic way of saying it, Green Lantern did fail "because it was a bad movie". Now, don't try to talk about what favors I should or should not do to "us", considering you're nobody's mouthpiece here, and go back to doing whatever it is you do with your time. Adios.
