lmao right? it looks so tragic and maisie's hair is sending meee

[missedith17]

why are they even bothering at this point?

[arabian]

Because every test audience that has actually seen the film -- the first cut and this reshot version -- has had very positive response to it. The first cut was actually on par with the reactions to Deadpool.

I just keep remembering that the original focus group reports of this had it getting extremely positive reviews. The *only* reason the original reshoots were planned is because It was such a massive hit and they decided they wanted to add more horror elements to it since horror was now in, but the actors couldn't get their schedules to mesh. And now we're here.

The fact that Disney is actually taking steps to mesh it with their future plans might mean that it remains as good as the original reports. :shrugs:

This is what I’m hoping

I went to the source and read the article and apparently -- shocking! Not -- the test screenings after the new shoots are positive. That's the thing that a lot of comments here don't seem to get, EVERY SINGLE test screening of this film have been positive. Like the first test screenings were on par with Deadpool positive. This is NOT a case of Dark Phoenix where it was obviously shit from the get-go. TNM has gotten overwhelmingly positive reviews from test reviews every go-round. All reshoots/delays have been because of extenuating circumstances, nothing to do with issues with the film itself.

yeah, i've been hearing all this news about the reshoots and got curious why and read the Wiki the other day, and was like '....really? that's the reason for all this trouble?'

studios being dumb
