I still have my OO AL run.

Isn't this because of the complete rewrite?

Given enough time, he'll be the star of DisneyAdult+++.

Doesn't the buck stop with this guy? Look at how absurd this image is. Is he audacious or insane?

I call for the MCU to be placed on indefinite hiatus. In the meantime, tell a more stylish, classic story of Marvel Comics: the Timely Heroes, the 60s Silver Age, Children of the Atom, Kirby crackle & crazy tech everywhere. Leave out the bad stuff like Paste Pot Pete or a flying HULK. In many ways, this is what Miller did with his deco, cyberpunk Dark Knight or Tim & Dini did with their deco 1930's Batman or what Time Sale gave us: capture these characters in stylish, exotic worlds; not the 2012 Avengers Battle for the Manhattan of 2012 world. That battle will always be time stamped the real 2012 rather than the timeless, Marvel Comics version of 1962. Give us a fully realized version of Marvel's history. Run it out for the next 15 years until you go from a young guy playing LOKI to an old guy playing LOKI, then reboot. Disney can always return to the MCU. Or reboot every generation.

This is one hell of a post. Very helpful. Thank you oh wise Boardie!

I'll accept this attribution publicly but deny it privately.

Dump the MCU for this new FF universe. Recast all Avengers, etc. 100% redo time.

Synthetic performers.

Rooting for this film's success.

I guess a good What If? would be, what if Disney recast the entire MCU post-Endgame & started the universe all over again, this time with FF & XM. We'd get things like the original Human Torch & Sgt Fury. Atlantis. A proper version of Vision. Stuff like that.

Good news. She was great in the Disney+ show.

I don't think it is the girl power or the social focus or any of that cultural stuff, nor do I think it is whether CM is a good or bad movie, I think it is BL. Something about BL stirs folks-up. It is pretty weird.

This is true. It wasn't bad like BW, just sorta generic & they screwed-up Mar-Vell. I liked it just fine but I'm a zombie and think BL is a hot little number.

I can't imagine what the alternative to SAG would be. The UK union? AI? Newbs? Perhaps they hope to break the union: stand firm until Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt crosses the line, opening the floodgates for all others? It all seems unlikely. I can't imagine what their nuclear option would be.

Never quit your day job, unless... If AMPTP has reached a hardball, firm & final offer, then they must have some alternative to SAG ready to go.

The dumbest move was calling it Endgame.

& they bring in all the other audiences when good. The pre-Endgame MCU brought in women of all ages; Barbie men of all ages. Snow White was targeted at young gals, not the AFI, Library of Congress, Smithsonian, & whatnot. Good films like The Wizard of Oz transcend a studio's demographic targets. Why would a gal go to a current MCU film like MARVELS when her demographic is being 'blamed' for the current MCU mess? That seems like a bad way to spend an evening.

How surprising. This looks like a Netflix product. Kingpin looks outstanding. I renewed D+ for WBN in color. I'll give this and LOKI 2 a go, pretty soon.

From what I can tell, this is the target demographic for all MCU product post-Endgame. The given middle age male fanbase was mocked and ridiculed, the existing male heroes were satirized, sidelined, and gender-swapped, all in an effort to win the target demographic, and of course, to defeat oppression, which is the authentic, real-world enemy, as Namor lectured to us in WAKANDA for-naught. The mandate behind the target demographic was social justice. Pre-Endgame, the MCU was able to diversify its given middle age male fanbase with this demographic. Young women were all-in. Everyone was all-in. There was social unity, happiness, and heroism. Massive profits, too. It was a great achievement. The audience, the world, the MCU wasn't split into warring camps by Disney in some self-destructive attempt to purify the social order. Post-Endgame, the given middle age male fanbase has learned they're the problem, somehow, someway, and no cares about the MCU, most especially young women.

It's pretty crazy.

Feige lost control or allowed this to happen to post Endgame MCU. Now we all know how destructive things can get when the Harvard faculty lounge makes movies.
