Paul Mescal Says It Would Be “Amazing” If ‘Gladiator II’ and ‘Wicked’ Replicated Barbenheimer

[stewie_e]

While it seems like #Barbenheimer was one of those phenomenons that will never be replicated, #GladiatorII and #WickedPartOne have a chance to bring the same friendly competition to the big screen later this year. Paul Mescal is here for it: https://t.co/QNNSLJWV6v pic.twitter.com/Fj1x3WRdli

Make him stop talking so I can still think he is cute.

he's not cute

lol what’s wrong with what he said though? He got asked a dumb question and responded.

It's gotta be natural babe. You have to let the audience decide whether they want to be entertained or not.

Exactly. Plus each movie had their individual target audience along with an audience who wanted both. The perfect Venn diagram.

Biggest mistake of the franchise was killing Randy off!! Fucking Sidney got PLOT ARMOR for days but the one guy who understand it all doesn't!!

[daredevilwolf]

yeah except both those things have to be good like

christopher nolans The Dark knight and Mamma Mia,Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing

these things were fun because they were very good

we'll see if wicked and gladiator will be critical and commercial success

Wicketor.

Which sounds like a 1980s toy that they build a cartoon around to get kids to buy, but the show only last like 6 episodes & is one of those things people wonder years later if they imagined the whole thing and do YouTube videos about.
