Immediately following Guardians 3 and Across the Spider-Verse was probably a bad idea. Both highly lauded franchises that don't carry the baggage of the DCEU. If you could only afford to see 2 in a 2 month period, which would you choose?

I've heard good things about elemental, so I'm not sure why people aren't going to see it. But with the flash, there is the obvious issues with ezra miller himself and the whole superhero fatigue thing, I think people are just a bit done with the whole idea.

It's because, and no offense to anyone who likes the movie, it looks bland. Especially when you directly compare it to all the competition that came out or will arrive within the past year. Puss in Boots, Spiderverse 2, Mario, Ninja Turtles, even the upcoming Migration all not only look more interesting visually than Elemental, but also proven to be more interesting stories than Elemental so far too.

Elemental just seems to be another Zootopia or Inside Out. Why watch that when you have the originals?
