This is a weird new habit. It’s like they’ve taken the Video Game of the Year edition concept. Do those even exist anymore?

    Oh, better believe they'll release GTA whatever as a GOTY edition two weeks after they sell out of the collectors edition. No disk though, you'll probably just get a special flair to dangle from your crotch.

    So first things first, bullshit.

    Second, when Endgame first released it was back in theaters a few months later with some extra scenes including an unfinished Hulk scene. Spider-Man No Way Home also had a theatrical release called "The More Fun Stuff" version that came out a few months later.

    So this isn't exactly new, but still stupid. I know going way back the second Sam Raimi Spider-Man had a special DVD release know as "Spider-Man 2.1", but theater versus DVD is a huge difference.

    Is this the next step? Instead of rebooting a franchise once a decade, they just rerelease the ones people like with 3 more min of footage?

    Or are we not doing directors cuts anymore?

    They added a lot more than a 6 minutes of footage.

    Right, like if it was an actual "director's cut/special edition" there'd be deleted scenes put back in, maybe an alternate take or two somewhere, and just generally more of the movie.

    Not this bullshit "we're tacking on a post-credits scene that's gonna be way out of place and look like it was shot this past weekend."

    Just worked for Avengers Endgame. I think it just saw another $80 million this past weekend and all that changed was the end credits scene I think. Although we know people are going because they love the movie and Doomsday is about to drop. After seeing how big this was I absolutely believe what you said is definitely the next step.

    On the other hand, what reason is there for time-limited theatrical releases at all these days? Once a movie is on on-demand streaming, why not let cinemas play whatever they want whenever they want?

    I think they should transition into Black Cat as a love interest for a movie. Let peter get caught up in some Grey area fun

    LMAO… as long as people are willing to pay top dollar to watch the same shit over and over, there’s little to no need for Hollywood to continue putting any effort into new IP.

    I've been seeing comments online about people botching and moaning because they didn't know the extra scenes were tied to ticket tiers. Like if you got a normal/imax ticket, you only got to see a couple of the new scenes; whereas if you bought the specific "Infinity Vision" ticket, you get to see all of them (all 4-ish minutes that's right at the very end of the movie making the rest of the rerelease literally pointless).

    I'm glad I decided early on not to waste my time or money with this one. Like it's cool I guess if you're wanting to see it in theaters again, but it by no means is worth the extra ticket upcharge just to see a couple extra mid-credits scenes that honestly are out of place in Endgame. I'm almost positive that one of the extra scenes was supposed to be the credits scene for Brand New Day, but it was shoved into Endgame because Marvel is still scrambling because of the John Majors backlash and don't know how to properly build hype for their movies anymore.

    It's fascinating to me that we, as a society (species?) are so creatively bankrupt that we have moved beyond reboots as new material and descended straight into releasing the same garbage on loop...

    Dumbfucks who can't just say "no" to the big corporations who run their childhoods into the ground are to blame for this imo.
