As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Honestly I'd rather see a woman in that costume. Especially if she's as topless (nearly naked?) as the original.
It's not me, it's someone else.

It's not the worst point you've ever made.

Damning text messages released between Majors and his woman.

I want to say he has issues and needs help. However, these texts read like an abuser manipulating their victim. Although, the other side of that is he is a very troubled man being setup by a gold digger. (Seriously, she was recording everything.)

The truth is probably a little or a lot of both.

No wonder Marvel is rumored to be moving away from Kang.

Denzel Washington's kid is being cast as Kang to replace Jonathan Majors.

As the saying goes, "It pays to know people."

Don't derail threads.

Also, money loses constantly.

Why has Marvel sucked since End Game? You know, besides all the woke bullshit...

Because they're hiring people who don't know the source material and telling them NOT to read it.

Are they trying to lose money?

How do make phases 1-4 catering to the base and pulling in ALL the casuals only to do the exact opposite in the next phases. Make it make sense.

I still need Pedro to apologize for being a hypocrite and a coward while Disney cancelled Gina Carano.

RDJ officially returns to the MCU...as Doctor Doom.

An article I saw over the weekend calls the fan reaction divided. Meanwhile, I haven't seen a single person praising it. It's been all "This makes no sense. As an actor, of course he can do it, but why use a guy we recognize as Iron Man, who made the MCU, in a role another actor could have played."

The only way this makes sense is if this is a multiverse Tony Stark.

I'm hearing this third hand from another YouTuber...

Chris Gore was on Drinker's podcast or something. Chris knows his shit when it comes to movies. He has big links to the industry.

Anyway, he said Marvel has quietly booted all their activists over the past few months. During this same info it was revealed they, and others, has a "white and pale is stale" saying. It's not racist though, right?

We'll see if what he said is true with the new phase of Marvel.

Oh, he also said the same changes were not happening at Lucasfilm, so it will continue to suck.

According to the rumor mill, Sony might be throwing in the towel on Spiderman. They are actively considering selling the rights back to Marvel.

It's their own fault.

They embraced the DEI/ESG garbage that resulted in hiring a bunch of unqualified people behind the camera, gender/race swapped a bunch of characters pissing off fans of the source material, and then called anyone who dared criticize their work every cliché insult they could.

Meanwhile, they were also greedy. They started using DEI/ESG as a way to bring in cheap "talent" and it shows. The CGI has been shit, the acting shit, the acting shit, etc. After Infinity War, they should have backed up trucks full of cash to the home of the Russo brothers, Gunn, RDJ, Evans, etc. You're making BILLIONS. Keep that train going by spending millions.

Star Wars/Star Trek did the same shit. Woke murdered these franchises.

It wasn't "superhero fatigue" unless that also explains why everything at the box office is failing, even the non-superhero movies? It was having a clear political agenda force fed to us, being insulted for not liking it, and atrocious fucking stories.

Seriously, anyone who liked "The Last Jedi" is a dullard. Yes, it was beautifully shot, but if you think that story was well written and fit the characters, you have no fucking idea what you're talking about. Don't even get me started on The Acolyte, which the creator called "the gayest Star Wars ever".

This could have gone under the Moron thread, but it's more appropriate here. I get what he was going for, but he definitely sounds stupid.

Welp.

Yeah.

I was already planning on skipping the next one, unless it had great word of mouth. This doesn't change my mind.

This movie is projected to bomb.

Marvel needed to take a few years off, especially after all the damage they did to the brand with DEI. Not to mention the garbage Sony was putting out under the Spider-Man banner.

Later this year is the Thunderbolts, which only diehards are probably excited about, and the poorly cast Fantastic Four.

The Thunderbolts trailer is the best looking thing I've seen from the MCU since Endgame. Heavy Guardians of the Galaxy vibes, except fresh.

Daredevil: Born Again is on top of that mountain, and it's not even close.
