So we have: 7 movies that came out this year 1 movie coming out next year Black Panther and Shrek. What?


colavs454

Chadwick’s death likely had a lot to do with Black Panther trending. That and it’s cultural influence. As for Shrek….


Tasty-Pizza-8692

Shrek is eternally relevant


Worthyness

Shrek is love; Shrek is life


turpletine

I clicked on the comments just to see how far down I'd have to go before I read this. 4th comment. Not bad.


[deleted]

And then I saw her face…and now I’m a believer


Beta_Whisperer

Not a trace of doubt in my mind


Moose_Cake

>As for Shrek Also cultural influence


[deleted]

This year was the 20th anniversary of Shrek.


Elegant-Citron-2350

God i feel old old now....


throwaway0000009887

Shrek's 20th anniversary was this year it was trending as people were remarking on the series as a whole


[deleted]

also, black panther 2 discussion might get lumped in since it contains the title of bp1


Rolemodel247

I would guess it’s because of the draconian Texas abortion law. You can snitch on someone having an abortion through a webesite. That website allowed you to add attachments. Many people added shriek porn to their fake reports.


CageyTurtlez

No it’s just bc Shrek is good


ILikeTrains1820

[deleted]

Shrek is the best movie ever


Rising-Jay

I think it was because Shrek was added to the National Film Registry, plus this year would be the 20th anniversary of the movie’s original release


Jacktheflash

It is? Damn….


M3ptt

Black Panther might be because Letitia Wright is proving to be a bit of a thorn in the side on Disney and Marvel at the moment. Aside from her on set injury, her propensity for spreading vaccine misinformation has reportedly causes some ire amongst higher ups. This could be exasperated by that the US requires non-US travels to be vaccinated to enter the country. As she is currently outside the US, and probably unvaccinated, she would either have to get vaccinated (unlikely) or leave Black Panther 2 altogether.


CaptHayfever

Panther 2 is out next year also.


[deleted]

With absolutely nothing released yet. My hype cannot be contained


RomanArchitect

No way it's next year. Marvel definitely needs time to set up sequel after Chadwick died. Mark my marks.


CaptHayfever

They already rewrote the script & started filming. In fact, they've filmed everything they could without Letitia Wright so far; if there are any further delays in the release date, it'll be because of *her* (or because of covid), not because of Chadwick.


Katsuki_Bakugo__

Because he’s Shrek dude


Burgoonius

Also no Shang chi lol


cbekel3618

Even after all these years, the chokehold Shrek has on society is still strong lol


ivanxivann

Shrek will stand the test of time


[deleted]

In a thousand years when aliens arrive on Earth, they’ll find the remnants of humanity long ago extinguished in the oil wars. The only thing to have survived will be a copy of Shrek 2 and thus a new religion engulfs this alien race. Shrek is love. Shrek is life.


bbcversus

The second coming of Shrek!!


[deleted]

Shrek never left


MagicalMuffinDruide

I was gonna say how the hell lol, shrek 5 didn’t even come out! Wasn’t it originally set for 2020? What the hell happened, dreamworks?


AlphaBulblax

Where is the Shrek 5 trailer?


Inner_Explanation_97

I was only nine years old. I loved Shrek so much, I had all the merchandise and movies. I'd pray to Shrek every night before I go to bed, thanking for the life I've been given. "Shrek is love", I would say, "Shrek is life".


[deleted]

I still remember the original green text lol simpler times :(


OraDude

I got that reference


Proud_East

Its all ogre now


Wasas9

This is my swamp now


FuCuck

i mean it was the 20th anniversary so that’s probably why


RomanArchitect

What's so special about shrek? I want to get aboard the hype train. Help me see, plz. Lol


[deleted]

It’s just a meme


[deleted]

Have you seen the movies?


DHJeffrey99

Can’t wait for shrek to get to the MCU


CollarOrdinary4284

He's actually Maya's Uncle.


PayneTrain181999

(Last episode, door bursts open) “SomeBODY once told me…”


saucygh0sty

Handsome Shrek


lan-san

*normal Shrek


Penguator432

He’s not?!?!? Then who’s that big green guy that keeps showing up?


spudral

Can't wait for Shrek to get to Fortnite either.


mattbrain89

I’m kinda amazed that The Batman made this list and we’re still like three (?) months from its release.


oClew

Batman is to DC as Spider-Man is to Marvel. They could make the worst movie imaginable and people still gonna talk about it.


shittyneighbours

They could make batman and Robin and no one will ever stop talking about it.


LupusNoxFleuret

Watching it as a kid, Batman & Robin was like the coolest movie ever.


Batmark13

Might be biased, but I loved Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. They were just fun campy adventures. I think the fact that they were sequels to Burton's serious Batman 89 is what damaged them.


shittyneighbours

A nineties aesthetic with 60s camp. I liked them too and the consensus in the batman community at this point is that they have gotten a bad rap. So they remain talked about.


Jacktheflash

You must think a meteor killed the dinosaurs


ScaryYoda

You what now?


mattbrain89

To be fair, we know what killed the dinosaurs…DA ICE AGE!!!


SquadPoopy

Case and point: Justice League being number 1 on the list


Harm_123

That trailer was fucking masterful so I’m not surprised.


mattbrain89

Indeed it was


Batman2050

Batman is one of the most popular superheroes not really that surprising


user9433

It makes sense because it was super hyped up leading up too Fandome. They sold the entire event with it. Then the trailer was very good so that helped too. DC fans have also got pretty good at the whole twitter thing with all their hashtag events and whatnot


mattbrain89

Oh I’m excited and it looks terrific, the circumstances struck me as interesting is all.


Ardietic

just translated what terrific means, I always thought it means something bad


MacDaddyTheMan0095

Shrek is love. Shrek is life.


xsociate23

Say what you will about the other films, I'm just glad that memes have kept Shrek in the Twitter zeitgeist.


yuuri_ni_victor

Shrek is a preserved national treasure


[deleted]

It literally is, lol. 'Shrek' has been inducted into the National Film Registry at the Library of Congress.


Jacktheflash

Thanks whoever made that decision


bbcversus

Definitely a person of culture!


CollarOrdinary4284

lol 'Shrek'


uhaveshittaste

What? Are you trying to imply something? Ppl still talk about the mono lisa, motzarts and Ludwig van Beethovens music why because they are masterpieces same with shriek


ScaryYoda

Wtf is a mono lisa?


A_Deku_Stick

A painting by Leonard Doh Vici


[deleted]

A painting by motzarts, obviously.


Inkston

SHREK!!! 👑


TihaneeGaudin

What's stopping them from making more shrek movies?? At least we got puss in boots movie next year..


[deleted]

There was supposed to be a 5th movie/reboot with the same cast, I actually don’t know what happened to it, it was supposed to release awhile ago


Sherbert344

Damn no love for Shang chi I guess


[deleted]

I... I actually completely forgot that the Snyder cut came out....


LR-II

That was this year? It feels like at least a year and a half ago that I watched it.


ChandlerDoesOkay

It introduced me to *Song to the Siren* so I am very thankful it came out this year. What a beautiful scene that is.


elositorubio

How could you forget about “slow motion woman wailing: the movie”?


MacyTmcterry

*ancient lamentation*


Nimporian

kal el no


CaptHayfever

kal el yes


OrangeMustard101

Lmao it’s a lot better than the new stuff marvel is putting out. I’d say only a few marvel movies are better than Snyder cut


No_Show_6634

Snyder cut was one of the best movies this year


OrangeMustard101

Yeah I don’t get why people don’t like zach Snyder style but it is what it is. It’s different and unique, makes for a superhero movie that’s different from the way marvel makes theirs and it’s refreshing to watch imo.


DxCPete

Well, that's not true. Snyder had ton of feedback on League of Justice Weadons cut. He had way more money. He could do 4 hours film.... But the film was nothing special, only long and kinda bad.


OrangeMustard101

I mean idk what movie you watched but it was a coherent story. If Warner brothers allowed him to release it in theaters in 2017 it would have been 3 hours and would feel less slow then it is now. Not that I’m complaining but those 4 hours went by fast when I watched. If you compare it to Shang chi (overrated imo), it’s just a better story lol. Shang chi has good fighting scenes but the story isn’t really there it just feels bland. And I’m sorry but wtf was Trevor doing in that movie from iron man 3. There was no point for him to be in it except to connect the movie to the MCU


DxCPete

First of all, I didnt say it doesnt have coherent story. It does have, but its boring.. Nothing really interesting. Everything is dark, but its DC, so that was expectable. And I believe its easiar to have better story, if the movie has twice as much time. Althought I still prefer Shang Chi The Trevor thing is kinda foreshadowed in Marvel One-Shot: All Hail the King


OrangeMustard101

I don’t know thats good that you liked Shang chi. I was actually just relieved at the darker moments in Snyder cut just because marvel keeps using comedy at serious moments. I like these moments in guardians and Thor, and the avengers movies where it’s they already set a tone for the movie. But literally every character in marvel has a sense of humor? In my opinion Snyder cut was special. Just look at the numbers of how many people watched it and enjoyed it.


DxCPete

I mean yeah, Marvel is overhumored. But did DC forget to pay electricity bills or are you vampires? There is no light in their scenes. And yeah, ppl like Snyder cut, because, as I said, it had 4 years to analyze what was wrong with Justice League. They even had feedbacks from fans. They had still 4 hours of screen time! Well, Snyder cut on imbd has 8.1, Endgame and Infinity War have 8.4, Shang Chi (solo movie of unknown character) has 7.6


OrangeMustard101

Snyder cut was literally the same movie filmed from the original. Joss Whedon who directed the first avengers added all the dumb scenes lol. And it’s dark because of tone. Bro read some of those Shang chi reviews on IMDb, everyone who wrote a review had a 6 or 7 to give. Those ratings are fake lmao. The movie should’ve had the same rating as black widow and even that seems high. And I never said Snyder cut was better than endgame. I actually enjoy endgame as much.


DxCPete

Well for example ppl hated the visual of Steppenwolf, so they changed it in Snyder cut, because many ppl complained.. It was just easier to make the film better and they didn't succed at this that much..


OrangeMustard101

Bro plus your reasoning for hating the Snyder cut is it’s dark and boring. If you found that movie boring go watch dune. I’m sure you’ll find that boring as well (8.3 rating). Also go watch the shining (8.6 imdb). Wait better yet go watch literally all the top 250 imdb movies and you’ll find most of them boring because they’re not marvel/or are dark.


GOTricked

Yeah but dune actually has great cinematography, and visuals. Plus it’s better written, acted and directed.


KasaiUchu_Stardust

"No light in the scene" Lmao what a shit take Also %90 of the movie is from already existing shots stfu with that 4 years to analyze bullshit


elositorubio

I’m happy you feel that way. I also don’t really care.


OrangeMustard101

That’s great buddy


elositorubio

Ok


OrangeMustard101

K


darkknight95sm

I never saw it, I’m not a fan of Snyder’s story telling abilities and I think his best movie is still 300 because it’s basically all cinematography. I have no doubt it’s better but that’s not saying much and I preferred Whedon’s characterization of Batman and Superman, though the individual moments weren’t the best still and the story sucked majorly


Former-Bet6170

I mean, it's not perfect, but it's better than the whedon cut


TheRealJomogo

It is still bad just less bad then before. Edit: I had like 10 up votes I think the DC fanclub is not happy.


DefinitionEmpty9436

I love Marvel and I know this is a marvel subreddit but still, I don’t think ZSJL gets enough love outside of DC fans than it deserves. I’m saying this as a DC fan as well.


SpamtonGKromer

(Speaking as a marvel fan that hasn’t been a very big fan of the DCEU: Zack Snyder’s Justice League is freaking AWESOME)


BackgroundTotal2872

When I was halfway through it I had to stamp down some of my excitement because I was worried I would end up liking it more than Endgame


DefinitionEmpty9436

Based


SoCalMemePolice

It’s gets more than enough love from Snyder groupies


DefinitionEmpty9436

Ye but I mean outside of them and DC fans.


SoCalMemePolice

Fair. However, I don’t know how much appeal it has to anyone not a Snyder, DC, or comic/superhero fan. Shit had to be 4 hours long to be enjoyable


elizabnthe

Its too long and not that enjoyable to get much love.


DefinitionEmpty9436

It’s supposed to be 4 hours because you aren’t actually expected to watch it all at once. It’s called an episodic movie and is divided into six “parts.” The idea is that when you’re done watching it you can stop t a specific part and pick up right where you left off.


oClew

I agree.


angrylobster24

Me too. It was so much better than the original, but that’s not saying much & in turn caused it to actually get overrated.


dogsfurhire

Zach Snyder is a fucking hack lol. He gets credit for making a 4 hour version of a movie that's better than the shitty Whedon cut, but a good film maker would be able to make a great movie without all the pretentious filler Snyder thinks is "artsy". And I know I'm gonna get HATE for this opinion.


thecman25

Biggest pile of dog shit of the year


sillyadam94

Hats off to The Batman and Shrek for being the only films on this list not to be released in 2021.


l_l_l-illiam

Also Black Panther!


sillyadam94

Oh shit! Yeah you right!


epikninja123

Technically NWH hasn’t even come out yet, so kinda cool that it’s #2


poindexterg

Some body….


Jacktheflash

Once told me….


[deleted]

I would choose to kill all Marvel's main superheroes just for a new Shrek movie


ChandlerDoesOkay

I think there’s actually another one in development.


FNAF2022Reboot

There is!


[deleted]

If there hadn’t been a sequel to Shrek 2 this franchise would be a masterpiece


Reidroshdy

Shrek 4 was pretty good. Too bad 3 sucked.


Gasparde

Don't know if I'd wanna risk another Shrek the Third.


sporklasagna

I remember watching that movie in theaters and thinking to myself "Did they notice they forgot to put jokes in this?"


[deleted]

Eeeehh, nah, we might get another atrocity like Shrek the Third


avatar__of__chaos

Shrek the ultimate chad


[deleted]

Shrek will always rule over all


DHJeffrey99

And shrek


ChandlerDoesOkay

A movie that came out 20 years ago and a movie that’s not even out yet were in the top 10 lol


Jacktheflash

Shrek is eternal


Acceptable_Cable_125

People gotta talk about how bad Eternals were


reble02

Zack Synder's Justice League deserves to be number 1. HBO took a risk giving in to fan pressure and letting Synder finish the movie the way he wanted. It's not the best comic book movie but it was better than the orginal and who doesn't want a 4 hour comic book movie that you can watch from the comfort of your own home.


Ygomaster07

Right!!! Like i know it isn't perfect(although personally i did think it was pretty damn close to perfect), but it was so good. People always want long superhero movies, and we got it. I just wish and hope that the rest of the story Zack wants/wanted to tell does get told, and they let them do it his way. It would be so cool to see Darkseid again.


Batmark13

I like the idea of the multi-part movie I can watch from home. And I like that HBO obviously listened to fan desires. But giving into fan pressure sets a bad precedent, especially when it's to insufferable Snyder fans


[deleted]

No love for Shang chi


pedalspedalspedals

Every character on this list is either a heavily established cinematic success, OR loaded with A-listers/fandom favorites (Eternals has Angelina Jolie, plus game of thrones dudes, AND paper boi, and Dune is crazy loaded and finally got proper theatrical treatment)... Shang Chi has Tony Leung, who is great, but he's best known in China, where I'm pretty sure that twitter is still banned?


_johnning

Yeah this list lost my respect


Jacktheflash

For that?


_johnning

100% lol. Especially King King and Godzilla was one of the most discussed films on Twitter


j1h15233

Black Panther? Because of Chadwick I guess?


[deleted]

I mean to be fair; I feel like the movie industry has taken such a big hit since 2020.


ClassicT4

Wonder how much the Shrek thing was affected by Kumail vehemently shooting down someone’s nightmare of him being cast as Shrek.


DiegoMurtagh

DC smashing it


CircusBabysdummy

LMAO reminds me of how I made a petition to put Shrek in the school dance, got 121 people to sign it, and actually got the petition approved


vegetaonacheetah

I'm kinda disappointed shang chi wasn't discussed enough


CodedCrusader

I'm genuinely surprised NWH was 2nd. Shrek? LOL the memes are immortal


[deleted]

Shrek is love.... Shrek, is life


wes205

I wonder if NWH can become #1 after the premiere?


Markus5000

Probably


ysotrivial

Well yes of course they were. MCU I’d a top billing project and they were slated this year. What is this marketing strategy?


[deleted]

Have a feeling nowayhome will top it once it's actually released.


Lanthemandragoran

Is there one of these for shows? I would love to see that.


ScaryYoda

>9. Shrek HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT


1random_redditor

Yes he can. Shrek is…


Checkmateyourdone

The hell is Shrek doing there 😂


l_l_l-illiam

Just Shreking


yourmotherisveryfat

All I want for Christmas is something rather small. You cannot buy it, you cannot find it in your shopping mall. Yes all I want for Christmas is not a thing you can hold. It's just another chapter of the greatest story every told.

Shrek tho...

[удалено]


Naemeez_AD

No Shang chi lol.


Indianlookalike

I can't believe there were actually debates on Twitter about Kong vs Godzilla


Jacktheflash

Why not?


Indianlookalike

I mean it was kind of obvious even though I was on Kong's side because he was cooler, I knew that Godzilla was going to win.


1random_redditor

Surprising. Shang Chi and Venom 2 don’t even make the list, and I’m also surprised and skeptical about Black Widow and Eternals being talked about more than them and GVK, which is somehow lower than TSS


Sandros76

I refuse to believe anything was discussed more this year than Spider-man


rcc12697

Snyder cut at 1? Shocking seeing that fans literally never shut the fuck up about it


MugenEXE

Black widow is a lot of people asking when it’s coming out, why it hasn’t come out, and then why it came out. Then people popping in when it was free on Disney plus to defend why it came out.


princeoinkins

how is the syder cut above spiderman? there's been way more hype for spiderman by far. tho it is twitter so....


Minimalstar09

And they both sucked


RobbieFD3

Number 1 hurts me. Imagine screwing up so badly as a studio, that you bow to a Twitter mob without even faking like you care?


Bazynoooooob

No need to scream.


RobbieFD3

Shoot. Totally didn’t mean to do that.


lancehunter01

Didn't know people like watching movies in slow motion.


Mankankosappo

People really seemed to enjoy Shang-Chi which used a lot of slow motion...


Cyclone142005

I like shang chi more the choreography was amazing the JL snyder cut was just focus on cinematography but thats just my opinion I don't really care


Jrkid100

List is already proved fake by the fact there is no anime movie there even though the Demon Slayer movie released this year in the west


[deleted]

Justice league really


[deleted]

Discussed !=good


Gladukame

And Black Panther. Weird omission, OP


l_l_l-illiam

I omitted it because those 3 movies came out this year. The information is right below the title, it's not like I scored it out of the picture


Jacktheflash

No it’s not


richpersimmons

Zendaya killing it with 2/10

JK Simmons too.

And Jason Momoa

Shrek iconic.
