“I’m sure when this one flops like the other one’s”

Don’t know which “flops” you’re talking about. Everything that came out of Marvel Studios so far has been golden...money in the bank.

Captain Marvel was the beginning of the end. Disney announced that from then on the Marvel franchise would be getting rid of its male toxicity and featuring heroines that are woke (gay or non-toxic).

The flops have come from Kathleen Kennedy’s skewering of Star Wars and Disney has indicated that is the future of Marvel.

Lion King was shockingly straightforward but the other planned live versions of Disney classics promise a Woke twist.

Past performance is no guarantee of future success.

I was an avid collector starting in 1962 - right after Atlas became Marvel. I know the “literature” far better than most.

I half-hated Endgame. I was disgusted by the God of Blunder, the God of Blubber. It was pure Political Correctness (Cultural Marxism): They would never do that to the Black Panther or Captain Marvel.

They had to redistribute nobility and authority away from the loathed white male. A 1500-year-old Norse God became a 30-year-old Couch Potato.

Disney/Marvel will no longer have the building momentum of Phases 1-3 to buffer weak offerings. My guess is they will start having some flops.

Star Wars was once invincible. Then they went Solo.

Do as you like. I certainly will. I am done with it.
