According to THR’s Heat Vision report, Agatha All Along is Marvel’s least expensive live-action series to date, significantly so. Marvel Television has recalibrated its shows, and that may now be paying off.

2023 $141M Loki S2
2022 $147.9M Moon Knight
2021 $150M Hawkeye
2021 $150M Loki S1
2022 $150M Ms. Marvel
2021 $150M The Falcon & the Winter Soldier
2023 $212M Secret Invasion
2022 $225M She-Hulk
2021 $225M WandaVision

The Agatha All Along premiere episode received 9.3 million views in its first seven days on Disney+.

And yet it’s still entertaining. I’m certainly enjoying it more than I did Wandavision (which tops the list).

Wandavision had a strong start and just got worse with each episode.

Great contribution to the discussion.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Whoa whoa whoa, now. What? Seriously? I've been meaning to check it out, and that is high praise indeed. (Please, don't be lying, please 🤞🏼🥲)

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

I mean, it's subjective. I enjoyed the first few episodes of Agatha that are out, but it's definitely a soecific style that one has to like.

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Wandavision was overrated. The first two episodes are great, then it just gets worse & worse.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

i thought the halloween episode was amazing

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

The Malcolm in the middle/Modern family style episode was the best

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You playing lemmy golf or something?

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

No. I watched it. Started high, ended low.

[–] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 13 points 1 month ago

First two episodes were fun, the third episode was like a kindergartners puzzle box, it was embarrassing, hope it returns to form

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The budget for most MCU films is ~$200 million, so most of these are a little bit less (ok $50 million less), but importantly this aligns with all the talk about the TV shows being treated like films.

I'm also curious how a film budget vs a TV budget breakdown.

I can only guess a shit ton of money was wasted unnecessarily. Like, if you have a $200 million dollar budget, you spend $200 million.

Where did they spend $150 M in Hawkeye?

I guess I remember one big outdoor chase scene, but generally I feel like someone embezzled $10 or $20 mill. Loki? Sure. Falcon and the Winter Soldier? Yeah, that had a bunch of locations and high-value actors. But seriously, how would one spend $150 million on Hawkeye? No disrespect, but I didn't see that on screen.

I wish I did. I unironically love Hawkeye.

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can only assume they produced (and ran for several years) the entirety of Rogers the Musical and just played the one part in the show.

But seriously I have no idea.

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That is really funny!

You know, that stage show actually did run at Disneyland for about two months. What if that's actually it? What if they just used the budget from Hawkeye to underwrite the stage performance and call it "Marketing and Promotion" without having to dip into the theme park budget?? That actually doesn't sound too crazy to me.

Incidentally: my husband went to Disneyland to see Rogers! The Musical and said it was quite good.

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Oh my God! I had no idea they developed a 30 min musical. It looks like there are recordings on YouTube so I'll have to give it a watch.

What about Ms marvel that had no big names very little big scenes and the effects were pretty basic. I have no idea how much it costs to film stuff but I feel like I could have made that for 50 mil.

Oooohhhhhhh.
I was wondering where this comes from:
Agatha All Along by Bear Ghost (YT)

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

How did SheHulk cost $225mil? Every moment of that series felt cheap, and the only big actor was Mark Ruffalo for 1 episode. Someone in production saw a chance to line the crap out of their pockets.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

I mean, they had to animate Jen in lots of shots? Paying VFX artists costs money
