  1. & 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Renewed my subscription and watched this tonight. WBN is really good in either format.

  7. I suppose folks are following the NYC news. If not, keep up with it. Reports are that NYPD is prepping for the possibility of social unrest tomorrow.
  8. Looking forward to seeing all the usuals at this show. First time back in NYC since 2019.
  9. A professional and a pleasure. Thanks!
  10. Marvel's Blade is undergoing a major transformation by Disney?
  11. Not sure where to post this so here ya go ~ https://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloffs/2023/09/28/two-books-break-book-sales-records-at-christies-auction---here-are-the-most-expensive-books-ever-sold/amp/

  13. Purchased from a comic shop on St Mark's NYC summer '90. It has yellowed, more so in the armpits. I'll wear it every couple years when drinking with my friends from that era, who recognize the shirt. I haven't washed it in a decade or more.
  14. The creatives aren't negotiating with a good or bad faith Disney, they're negotiating with a low-low intellect Disney.
  15. I'm ready & willing to blame studio execs, producers, directors, writers, actors, VFX folks, and craft services for the MCU sucking. Gaffers too, probably.
  16. My goodness, think about the harm Disney could cause to its parks with ten years and $60B.
  17. Hopefully Disney+ won't do a Daredevil show, for if it did, it would cause more harm to the IP than otherwise. Disney should end all MCU production to protect its valuable asset from itself.
