They’re making Valkyrie a lesbian, too.

I’ve seen a definite decline in quality with Marvel films, which gives me no pleasure to say. Infinity War was decent, Endgame was a mess, Captain Marvel was a bore, and the newest Spider Man was a mixed bag, at best.

I really enjoyed the earlier Marvel movies, leading up to the Infinity War. If they’re going SJW, I’ll have to find my entertainment somewhere else.

I used to be a huge Star Wars fan, too, but now when I look at a shelf of Star Wars movies they are all tainted by the new ones. I have no interest in the universe, even though I used to love it.

My problem, I guess, is that I don’t take kindly to movies preaching to me.

Avengers End Game was the farewell of the Marvel universe. It was good for tying up the loose ends of the characters.

Winter Soldier was one of the best at showing the actual Operation Paperclip and the infiltration of Nazis into the US Government. Most of the original actors were perfect for their parts, regardless of what mindless drivel they said when they weren't reading lines.

Now, they're just messing with us. Natalie Portman as Thor?

They're going to have the same problem with the rest of the Marvel movies that they're having with Star Wars. Not only will the plot lines stink, but they're casting people who have no charisma at all.

I found Infinity War lacking, but really liked Endgame. I’m in no hurry to see Captain Marvel and I’ve no interest in seeing “The Eternals,” the next Thor movie, “Ms. Marvel” or “Wandavision.” I agree with you about Spider-Man. Toby McGuire was Peter Parker most true to the character. BTW, in case you missed it, Spider-Man is no longer part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Disney and Sony (who owns movie rights to the character) were not able to negotiate a continuation.

I’m keeping an open mind about Shang-Chi (I really liked the Doug Moench/Paul Galacy run on the series), She-Hulk (a good character) and actually looking forward to Moon Knight.

I truly hope Marvel’s SJW movies lose money. Captain Marvel didn’t but I believe it did not meet their expectations.

You speak for me - and you saved me time: agree on each of those four late entries, and on Star Wars.

Disney/Marvel can go Solo to the box office without me.
