Bog Iger says she needs a babysitter

Sure, Igor implies that the Covid restrictions of the film were at fault, but he has no proof of that. The Flash movie didn't exactly blow up at the box office its opening weekend, but nobody's blaming the director for that, or the fact that it also started filming just after Covid restrictions were lifted in early 2021.

I thought it was Brie Larson that wanted her to direct the movie.

This is DaCosta's third film, meaning she's hardly "inexperienced"---she also co-wrote and directed it. You wouldn't claim that a male director was "inexperienced" on his third film. I saw The Marvels, and it was actually a pretty decent film---action-packed, funny, and really fun to watch at times. I'm thinking that the only reason it wasn't much bigger is that people are getting a little tired of so many Marvel movies, period. And it was hardly a "box office bomb"---it's expected to make at least $300 million worldwide---which will be well over its 220 million budget, meaning it's still making money. I remember when a box office bomb was when a film made virtually no money at all on its opening weekend. Now movies making even near a $100,000 at the box office are considered bombs because that might be only half of its budget, simply because film budgets have gotten so much higher in the past several decades.

That being said, I'm not even a big Marvel superhero fan, and I actually liked this film, plus it was refreshing to see a superhero film with women as the main superheroes, and the main villain for a change. The part with the cats was pretty insane---I won't spoil it. I did like how the heroines kept getting blasted to different areas and forced to switch places every time something happened in the time space thing---those were the craziest and kind of funniest parts of the film.
