The latest trailer for Avengers: Doomsday is now showing in cinemas before screenings of Avatar: Fire and Ash. The trailer features characters from Wakanda – Namor, Namora, Shuri, and King M’Baku – with Shuri delivering a voiceover saying, “I’ve lost everyone that matters to me. A King has his duties to prepare our people for the afterlife. I have mine.” A notable moment shows King M’Baku meeting Ben Grimm, introducing himself as “King M’Baku, of Wakanda,” to which Grimm simply replies, “Ben. Yancy Street, between Broome and Grand.”

It seemed like a sure hit: a new disaster movie with stunning effects and a heartfelt story about a mother’s desperate attempt to save her son. However, something unexpected happened. As reviews came out, it became clear that The Great Flood wasn’t resonating with audiences. Its Rotten Tomatoes score quickly dropped to 52%, and viewers rated it even lower with a mere 35% approval. The film didn’t live up to expectations, and many viewers felt disappointed, almost as if they’d been misled.

Breakfast is a bright spot. Lisa jokes about always being the first one in the door, a habit Rinna quickly labels as ‘iconic’ – she finds a way to call everything Lisa does iconic. Candiace arrives dressed as a flight attendant, and Porsha, while enjoying a hearty breakfast of three eggs, seemed to have already forgotten the drama she caused the previous night, dismissing it as no big deal. Rob R. is channeling his Love Island days with a daring sweater-vest look. But the real highlight is Dorinda, who receives a standing ovation and tears up after making it through her first night. While everyone was relieved, it’s clear the producers only allowed that to happen because they want to see what kind of trouble Dorinda might cause.
