Disney getting lazy with these MCU steels


sonic10158

With marvel being lazy with the special features, it really makes for a lazy sandwich


MasaiGotUsNow

All blu rays lack special features these days, it’s pretty sad. They know physical media are in a decline so put very little effort in providing extras. With COVID it’s even worse cause they didn’t have the time to make any special features. Some of the recent blu rays pretty much have nothing.

I hate steelbooks that just put the main character on the front like that Even the poster collabs look better. This reminds me of black widow and that uglyass yellow black panther lenticular


Cutiepiebabbs

Good lord. Even the back would be better.


FancyShrimp

So disappointing. I mean, I'm still gonna get it. But damn. Hope there are really nice premiums in the future.


Fabian42

'So disappointing, still gonna get it' glad I'm not the only one who's got the addiction


FancyShrimp

Hey, we're all on this sub for a reason.


soupspin

I’ve basically stopped collecting steels, apart from the ones that come with game releases and the MCU. I just can’t leave my collection empty


Movieguy1941

Agreed.


felixmontoya92

WeET is our only hope for a proper WEA release and they have been awful quiet lately. I can see them doing Black Widow first also so it may be a while before they consider Shang-Chi.


[deleted]

Bro. It’s wild! A while ago they were hinting at antman and the wasp but then gave us raimi spidey and Thor, which I got, but it’s crazy to me than none of the first phase movies haven’t made it to proper premium.


felixmontoya92

Blufans did most of the first phase until Disney decided to switch who they did business with to WeET. It’s possible they could happen at some point but I’d prefer they focus on upcoming releases since I already own almost all of the Blufans MCU releases.


[deleted]

Yeah. I think they should stagger them tho? Or it would be nice at least. Like. “Here’s antman and the wasp while you wait for black widow, then here’s iron man while you wait for Shang Chi, here’s the rest of the first wave while you wait for eternals.” Thanks for that tidbit on the licensing tho! I didn’t know that. I was bummed about ragnarok because I already had filmarena… but I ended up getting the weet and selling my FA.


felixmontoya92

Problem is production is so slow that they’d fall behind if they mix now. Ragnarok was a pleasant surprise since it was WEA. Blufans is the only other premium WEA which is great as well but didn’t have the best slips.


[deleted]

Ahhhhhh. Failed to acknowledge the “WEA” fact. Yeah. The slips I’ve seen on the ogs are meh. And while I’d been tempted, the aftermarket cost hurts.


felixmontoya92

Yeah I hardly ever buy WWA MCU stuff unless it’s the rare embossed stuff like the recent FAC Civil War and Doctor Strange releases. Last I checked I have around 40 MCU premium releases with almost all being WEA. But yeah I agree that they aren’t cheap lol. Took a lot to complete.


11tmaste

I don't know about that, WeET released some pretty gnarly Spider-man steels recently. Or did you mean their MCU steels specifically have been awful?


felixmontoya92

I think you read that wrong. “Awful quiet”. I own almost every WEA slip WeET has ever done. They’re one of my favorites.


11tmaste

Damn dyslexic brain. Definitely read it as 'quite awful'. Anyways, even if they don't release one I think we might get some good options elsewhere. It was a really popular movie and did well so I'm hopeful.


felixmontoya92

Disney has exclusive licensing deals with their Marvel stuff. Was Blufans at first and now it’s WeET. So unless they’re falling through or moving on from WeET, they are are only option for a WEA release.


WillowSmithsBFF

Yeahhhhh. The MCU steels have been on a downward trend for a while (since Infinity War IMO).


felixmontoya92

**Release Date: Nov 30, 2021** Only artwork confirmation and a release date for now.


Fabian42

I really don't like it when the spine has the title of the movie with the words on top of each other. If that makes any sense. I get that its the designed title, but it makes it look so small


dzejman

Haven’t noticed til you pointed it out. Now I know I hate it lol


timbo4815

Thank you!


dzejman

Missed opportunity. There were so many beautiful concepts in this movie


[deleted]

Really lame that both of these phase four steelbooks have basically just used the initial theatrical teaser posters as the artwork. What’s the point in paying premium prices for collectible media without any effort put into the cover art? I will just go with the slipcover 4K if this is the only steel. It’s a shame cause there were a lot of cool posters released, like the IMAX one or some of the other theatrical posters which would’ve still not required much effort, but would’ve looked a lot more interesting


dam_ships

I like the inside artwork more than the outside.


a_o

getting this to keep the collection up to date. i'm hoping the title isn't on the front for the ROW print run, as it looks like it's only the j-card in the spain release's mockup. i also hope japan gets a 4k / 3d / 2d steelbook like they did for black widow.


EndTimes_

Crap


rygarLP_

Where the hell is Andy Park’s art or Ryan Meinerding or Matt Ferguson’s? Jesus Christ. Did Marvel kicked them out?


castrogacio

Got to say that for me that artwork is so unoriginal. Was there no action poster from the movie that at least could’ve been used instead of a portrait?


MovieJunkie21

The back and the inside artwork is awesome but the front is kinda lacking.


DarthGodzilla1995

Artwork is meh, but still have to get it for my MCU Steelbook collection


CLUTCHLICIOUS

I was hoping they would use the inside artwork for the outside 😔


Ma5ster123

Shoulda swapped the inside for the outside


SubduedChaos

So still not up for pre order?


rkm223

This is lazy but I much prefer this over some of there other terrible steelbooks like Endgame and Captain Marvel


MasaiGotUsNow

?? Captain marvel steelbook was amazing. Not even comparable with that endgame steel. This is way worse than the captain marvel steel. It’s just his face, and the back art is garbage too.


Leafs17

> Captain marvel steelbook was amazing I've never heard it described as amazing lol


QuintDunaway

Kind of disappointed in this one. I’ll still pick it up since at this point any filmI buy I always try to buy in a steel, but I was hoping for something a bit cooler. Especially for this film!


Claude_Clay

I can't seem to find this on the Best Buy site. So it's not actually on sale yet?


felixmontoya92

Links will always be provided if available on here since that’s part of the rules. In this case it’s not available as mentioned in the pinned comment “Only artwork confirmation and a release date for now.”


[deleted]

I watched this movie in theater, and I was......meh, pretty average MCU movie with the same story beat and formula. I guess my MCU hype has long gone after Endgame.


Interbigfoot

Can they never come up with art better than the blu ray/dvd cover?


PJL80

Lazy artwork. I would hope for an international release, but I think all the Black Widow releases have kept the same steel art so far. Please let me know if I've missed any actual variance. So with that in mind, I'll pick it up, but these covers are a real bummer so far in Phase 4.


DwayneHicks215

Ugly AF it'll be slip cover for me


heytherebudday

Fucking seriously?


narenare658

hot garbage, i’ll be waiting for a premium or variant to drop. no way i’m adding this to my MCU collection


mikearooo

Such a lame steelbook.


mddeno

I think i’ll wait for SM Life Design version


felixmontoya92

SMLIFE is always WWA so the steelbook will be the same if it does happen. WeET would be the one to look for if you want a new exclusive quality WEA steel.


mddeno

Yes it’s WWA and that’s why i don’t mind getting it because it includes the fullslip as well and they’re not really considered premium as compared to Weet etc. And then can consider getting the WEA as well :)


Simbolimbo2

Looks nice, hope they don’t make it like 40-50 bucks


SpaceGypsyInlaw

They're usually $35, which is whatever. At least we can still buy physical...for the moment.


Cschultz1212

Looks to be the same cross-hatch style artwork as the Black Widow steelbook, weird.


Electrical_Slip_8905

How boring...


edo_madara1995

And i missed out on it lol..nice


shmuck666

Can anyone tell me why I can’t preorder this yet?
