Why did people suddenly start pretending Tom Cruise was this box office magnet?
because he was 25 years ago and people got tricked into thinking he still is since he's done nothing but action sequels for the past decade
>>223479595He isn't?
>>223479595the bar was so extremely low during covid that his boomerslop legacy sequel was vastly overrated for simply being not awful or deliberately insulting its audience. nice piece of military propaganda too for ginning up more wars on israel's behalf. job well done goy action star.
>>223479595Because he's been the biggest movie star in the world for 40 years straight. Damn, you're fucking retarded.
He's one of the top ten actors in the world for box office revenue, and the only one of the ten not carried by Marvel bux.
>>223479595Only losers attempt to bruise...
>>223479668That's cute. Remove Mission Impossible and his career would have been over a long time ago
>>223479676MCU actors are pathetic slaves and the movies could've starred anyone else in the world. They're not movie stars in any real shape or form.
>>223479595Damn so I am guessing his new movie makes fun of Trump and now chuddies are having a meltie, pretending they always hated Tom Cruise?
>>223479595Because he is. One of the top old Hollywood stars.
>>223479595>suddenly start pretendingYou're too retarded to live.
>>223479701>2022 Top Gun made $1.5B
>>223479701>if you don't count his extremely successful franchise he hasn't done anything successful except for his other successful moviesyou're brown forever, just accept it
>>223479747>Makes 5 movies since 2018>3 are Mission Impossible
>>223479717There are a couple of stars there. Zoe found her niche as the ethnic girl in a million other franchises like Star Trek and Avatar. Vin Diesel will be riding the Fast and Furious franchise to his grave. Samuel L Jackson is in literally everything.But Downey, Hemsworth, Evans, Pratt, Johansson and especially Holland would barely be considered stars. High B-listers and washed out never-was's.
>>223479757If he's still a "box office magnet," he wouldn't need to rely on 1 franchise to carry his career
>>223479792>Cruise didn't make enough kino in his lifetime, how dare he ride a successful franchise he headlined for decades in his 60's!Fuck off. You will never bruise the Cruise. You can't erase Rain Man, Jerry Magquire, Eyes Wide Shut, Minority Report, Top Gun, Legend, Risky Business, A Few Good Men, Vanilla Sky, The Last Samurai, Collateral, or any of the other endless stream of concentrated kino from his resume.
>>223479653MI 5 was 2015 though.
>>223479792>>223479829did his new movie make you cry, yeah? was it 'TDS wokeslop', lil chud?
>>223479595the only movie star boomers remember who still has a semblance of a career
>>223479835Rush Limbaugh once recommended Vanilla Sky on his show.
>>223479835I can do the same with Arnold Schwazernegger, he's not a "box office magnet" is 2026. If it wasn't for Mission Impossible, Tom Cruise wouldn't be able to still make big budget movies in 2026. His career would have taken a nose dive after Edge of Tomorrow. He would go back to doing dramas and movies for Netflix
That's a lot of bombs/almost bombs. I imagine the DVD market that's now dead has saved his ass frequently in the past.
>>223479668This. Idiots in here are just low IQ reactionist. Every movie star had bad moves that bombed. Cruise is one rare stars maintained his status for 40 years. Will Smith was the biggest stars of the 90s. How’s his career doing? How’s John Travolta? Arnold? Stallone?
>>223479595He is reliable, never upsets the studio execs and always delivers a return. Sure he abuses the wagies a little but he brings the big bucks and you work for minimum.
>>223479595Once upon a time he was young.
>>223479595I'm definitely gonna see digger
>>223479924Show me a movie star didn’t have bombs. How’s Downey Jr career outside MCU?
>>223480107>OH NO NO NOI guess it really was "The Final Reckoning"
uh top gun mavericks
a new era of incel revisionism begins...
>>223480240Enjoy your Xenu bucks.
>>223480228>Top Gun: Maverick - Released 2022>Mission Impossible 8 - Released 2025
>acktually, Tom Cruise didn't WANT this movie to make any moneyoh, really?
>>223480273Just admit it, buddy. Ya lost. You're a loser. A sore butthurt loser lol
>>223479653>boomerslop
>>223479595Decades before you were born. God, I hate this place.
MI Fallout and Top Gun 2 were big hits, and general career longevity with plenty of hits here and there but not every time
>>223479888>If it wasn't for this thing that makes billions of dollars solely because of his name he wouldn't be a star. You are a giant fucking retard.
>>223479925Will Smith is an internet punching bag but he's had at least 2 hit movies in the 90s-00s-10s-20s
>>223479595Test
>>223479835>A Few Good Men, The Last Samurai, CollateralSuch a strong filmography. What a fucking kino machine.Collateral will never get enough praise. He simply killed it as a villain. Fucking legend Cruise is.
>>223480690His performance in Magnolia is incredible too. Absolute garbage film, but he is amazing.
>>223480746>Absolute garbage filmI thought it was okay when I was young, but have since not liked PTA outside Boogie Nights, although Scorsese and others do that kind of film a lot better. I'd probably hate the film now. I do remember Cruise's performance being great though. Absolute legend.
Why doesn't he come out of the closet already? It would only help his career at this point.
>>223479924every one of those is kino of the highest order
>>223479653>the world didn't start until 2020You could have just said you're too young to post here.
>>223479924>a lot of bombsMaybe Rock of Ages; that's about it. Faggot detected.
>>223479717Robert Downey Jr is irreplaceable, otherwise I agree. Without him, the MCU would not have been anywhere near the financial and cultural phenomenon it was.
>>223482989He was very well cast, I agree. But I think the success of Iron Man was like 85% Favreau and 15% Downey.
>>223479719>>223479863>>223480240>>223480373The ai comic jeet is seething in every thread about this flick for some reason despite no mentions of drumpf other than his posts. What's the deal? Tom Cruise is a chud neutral figure.
Now we know what it takes for you fuckers to finally turn on tom cruiseOf course it had to be the dumbest reasonYou're in a cult just like him btw
>>223484363>Now we know what it takes for you fuckers to finally turnAnd that is?
>>223484383You know exactly what it is, chuddie
>>223484363Nobody is turning on him though, he's been in flops before and it's not remarkable. Why are you so desperate for /tv/ to hate him?
>>223484383That's the ai troon, not sure why he's having a melty about this one desu, cruise is well liked here
>>223484414Nope, I haven't seen the movie and there are no posts about whatever you're hinting at ITT. Tell me.
>>223479924Only 7 movies out of 42 that didn't make back their budget plus promotion costs is probably the best track record of any actor in Hollywood in the past 50 years.
>>223484537Not the homosex you were responding to, but his general implication is that Digger seems like it might be a satire against Trump somehow, and therefore anyone who doesn't think the movie is good must hate it because they're a pro-Trump chud. If the movie even satirizes Trump is not clear at this point since fagsex there didn't notice that it hasn't actually released yet. So, just TDS interjecting itself as it always does.
>>223483885Nobody knows who Favreau is and the thirdies that keep MCU relevant don't know what the story is
>>223479595He had a safe audience of middle-aged women that go to see any movie starring Tom Cruise but not only he got too old to play a heartthrob but also he didn't wear make up for Digger and show his true face instead
