On its quest to success,The Super Mario Bros. Moviehas left behindAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniaand become the highest-grossing movie at the domestic box office this year. Needless to say, fans are trolling Marvel Studios left and right stating that if they made a movie that was worth watching, fans wouldn’t mind showing up at the theatres. Yikes! It looks like fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have had it up to here with one mediocre project after the other!

There is no way one could deny the fact that the MCU is no longer the same MCU we have been watching and loving since 2008. While fans would once upon a time religiously follow the extensive storylines of the superhero universe, they are now least bothered to do the same. Why? Well, when you are getting disappointed time after time, one is bound to lose interest.
And now, sinceThe Super Mario Bros. MoviedethronedAnt-Man 3to become the highest-grossing film of 2023 at the domestic box office, the MCU is getting heavily trolled on the Internet. For context,Paul Rudd’sAnt-Man 3saw a domestic opening of $104 million whereasChris Pratt’sThe Super Mario Bros. Moviemade a jaw-dropping $204.6 million over the long weekend. The global debut of the film sits at $377 million. Here’s what Twitter has to say about it all:
Turns out when you make a film that fans enjoy, they show up.

Mario knows what it is as a movie and it accomplished that. Quantumania was sadly just another “Marvel movie of the month” and they know it. When you put out mediocrity, you get mediocrity in return. Marvel I hope you learned you aren’t untouchable with your formula going forth.

According to Box Office Mojo, the animated film has already grossed over $420 million at the worldwide box office, which is just a little short ofAnt-Man 3’stotal earnings of $474 million. It’s worth noting thatThe Super Mario Bros. Moviehasn’t even been released in Japan yet. It looks like the MCU has to really step up their game now or they might just end up losing the loyal fan base they spent years building!
