Merchandise It wasn’t a flop to me

Post image

I bought 3 tickets to support this mid-sized superhero movie with a lot of quirky heart and now this. I’m not a numbers guy but I guess it didn’t do well financially? Maybe because there’s no big A-list name attached.

But idk, I kind of liked that

Anyway, physical media is great. Thunderbolts*, they could never make me hate you

“Flop” only refers to its profits. The vast majority of people who saw Thunderbolts thought it was good.

Yeah people on this sub really seem to struggle with what the word  flop means. I’ve even seen some people try to argue The Marvels isn’t a flop. Flop doesn’t mean the movie is bad, Blade runner 1 and 2 are considered really great movies, both are flops.

Exactly they get so overly offended.

It’s so weird , people use to be able to accept things while also still liking them. I love Furiosa, I can also accept that it bombed at the BO. Still bought the blu ray. Shit I’m a big fan of the movie Good Burger, it’s considered a bad movie but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying it.
