Well said.

Avengers Endgame was the end of my participation.

Avengers Endgame ws a "Chick Flick" with lots of Special Effects.

“She-Hulk”? That’s not very ladylike.

At some point, Marvel decided to come up with female versions of many characters to prevent a competitor from making one without the threat of of a copyright lawsuit. This likely applies to "Spider-Gwen", too.

Well, this page has more details. The page say that it’s an urban legend that Stan Lee created the Jennifer Walters character so that he would not lose copyright to Hill due to the skit, but who knows.

Black Widow is dead. Wolverine is dead. Iron Man is dead. Captain America is old and retired. That chameleon chick on X-Men is dead. Spiderman wants to be a homosexual.
To hell with Marvel.

Disney going full woke has destroyed the following money making machines,

1. ESPN and indirectly the NFL
2. Marvel Comics (Rumored to be shut down)
3. Star Wars (movies, video games, toys, and theme parks)
4. The MCU (adopting woke stories that destroyed the comics)

“Destroying a 100 billion dollar golden goose is no problem for these people.“

It’s not THIER money they are burning, they get paid regardless at the end of production, so virtue signaling with someone else’s money doesn’t cost them a dime.

And the board members paying for it are too intimidated, and tonafraid of wrecking their own careers to speak out against it.

The characters and stories were created by mostly white males in a mostly white culture.

If they had been created by mostly non-white males in a mostly non-white culture, there would be ZERO demand for “diversity”; in fact, any demand for diversity would be called “cultural appropriation.”

Yep.

Disney/Marvel can go Solo - without me - to the box office in Phase 4.

That's because John Byrne got a hold of the character and made her the sexy lady lawyer Hulk she turned into.

The stupid incarnation they have now, some crazy beast woman of a hulk (small caps intentional) is so downright stupid it's laughable.

I don't trust Disney/Marvel to bring out any more quality films. The handwriting was on the wall with Thor Ragnarok, continued with Captain Marvel, and is now full steam ahead with Phase 4.

Avengers Endgame was it for me.

It’s all ok. They decide what movie to make and I get to decide what movie - if any - to fish out of the discount movie bin at Walmart.

Kill it Disney! Kill it like you killed Star Wars. Once you've sacrificed Marvel on the garbage heap of woke-fulness I won't have to listen to people blabbing on about fictional characters in pajamas with magical super powers.

There 's nothing wrong with Westerns.

Ditto. I will not waste my time on this PC garbage.

The first time I saw this placing of a black actor for a white character was in the BBC series of Robin Hood a few years back. It was a black Friar Tuck.
