2 A maior parte das diferenças está no

possível observar hoje influências do

moot point

 A moot point is a fact that does not apply to the current situation. The fact may not apply for any number of reasons. For instance, the information could be doubtful, no longer current, or of no practical value. Moot point might also refer to a question that doesn’t matter very much because it’s unlikely that anyone will ever be able to answer it.

in spite apesar de

normalcy

 Marvel is still the biggest blockbuster brand in Hollywood with over $25 billion in box office returns worldwide, according to Comscore (SCOR). The studio has the highly anticipated "Black Panther" sequel ("Black Panther: Wakanda Forever") set for November and will eventually lay down a one-two punch with the introductions of two of the comic book world's most notable superhero groups: the Fantastic Four and the X-Men.

Either way, theaters and Hollywood are more than happy to see a big weekend like this as the industry attempts to return to pre-pandemic normalcy at the box office.
