A New Concept to Think About!!!

OK, so after re-watching Brandon Tenold's 2-part review of Godzilla: Final Wars (*which is tied with GKOTM as my #1 favorite Godzilla movies*), I decided to try and see how much more successful it was than other box office bombs (*!!!A MOVIE THAT AWESOME IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT A FLOP!!!*). But as I tried looking, I came across something rather interesting. And it makes sense, in my mind.


"At least seventeen films since 1964 have held the record for highest-grossing superhero film. Spider-Man has held the record twice, Batman and the Avengers have held it three times each, and Godzilla held it at least six times. Films based on DC Comics have held the record four times, films based on Marvel Comics have held it five times, and Toho films held it at least six times."

- from Timeline of gross records, Highest-grossing superhero films section


"The following is a list of the highest-grossing superhero film by year since 1966. Some years have no superhero films. Batman has topped six years, while Godzilla has topped twelve years, the most of any superhero. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has topped ten years (every year of the 2010s), while the Godzilla films have topped twelve years (mostly during the 1960s–1970s), the most for a franchise. Films based on Marvel Comics have topped eighteen years, the most for a source."

Big G's super profitable no matter what people think! Plus, there was that time that Marvel actually had the rights to Godzilla AND Transformers, for a bit! 🤫💡 So...maybe Disney should consider acquiring the rights to Godzilla, which may lead them to owning Warner Brothers (which owns Legendary Pictures), which would lead them to owning DC Comics, Pacific Rim, and (I think) Mortal Kombat! As well as acquiring the rights to Transformers, which is owned by Hasbro and whose movie rights are owned by Paramount and DreamWorks! NOW THERE'S A CONCEPT!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

The numbers on that Wikipedia article don't mesh with the Japanese attendance at all (perhaps it's worldwide gross?), and the Godzilla movies in question come from a period before Hollywood had much interest in superhero movies.

Disney has more than enough pop culture properties in its grip.

And you'd think they'd've figured it out by now. But nope! They've got ESPN, NatGeo, Hulu, 20th Century Fox, Star Wars, Marvel, and the list goes on. They've got more companies than you can shake a stick at.

They'll probably just keep buying companies till people rage quit (*cuz changes to fan-favorite franchises would be made [Ex.: Mortal Kombat without the excessive violence]*) and the multi-company empire crumbles outta sheer bankruptcy.
