MCU Blade Getting the Feminist Treatment, The Marvels Is a Disaster and More... | MARVEL RANT

[@Kahnovitch]

The only reason Captain Marvel made any money is because it was marketed as essential viewing before Endgame. It was not.

[@kingstew2000]

Disney also made sure that it was pretty much the only new movie being shown at the theatres. The theatres actually removed Alita, which was doing well at the time, and then showed all these old movies for their 20 or more years anniversary. These 2 factors, saying u needed to see it to understand endgame and making it the only new movie available, was only going to lead it to make the money it did.

[@RialVestro]

Agreed. I actually think Captain Marvel conflicts with Endgame because her solo movie shows she's strong enough to take out an entire fleet of invading aliens by herself but then in Endgame she has an entire team backing her up and barely does anything. So in the first 2 movies she's seen in she already has an inconsistent power level by the largest margin I have ever seen. I also hated her in her own movie because they changed her origin so it doesn't even make sense anymore. Originally Mar-Vell was the first Captain Marvel, she got her powers from a blood transfusion from him. The movie changed Mar-Vell into a woman who never had that name, didn't have any powers, dies almost immediatly, and instead she gets her powers from Mar-Vell's ship exploding near her? Shouldn't that just kill her instead of giving her powers? Anyway Carol was also the original Ms. Marvel before taking the mantle Captain Marvel but now Carol was always Captain Marvel, they just got that name out of thin air, and Camilla also gets her name out of thin air instead of being inspired by the original Ms. Marvel. In Endgame Captain Marvel was built up so much but really doesn't do a damn thing in that movie. Her being nerfed so much wouldn't be as bad if her solo movie didn't make her so OP. And remember that the solo movie takes place in the past so she should be stonger not weaker by Endgame. I wouldn't mind Captain Marvel being so OP because she actually is that powerful in the comics but she had to work up to that power level over time, she didn't just instantly right out of the gate have that kind of power. If you start there, there's no room for the character to grow, she's just instantly the most powerful character in the MCU and it's a big part of why the movie was so boring and uninteresting.

They're still blaming C-VID and not the LGBTQ they shoveled into Eternals, Lightyear, Strange World etc.🤔

[@RialVestro]

Lightyear is not bad because it has a lesbian couple in it. They really have a tiny role in the movie, their scenes could have been cut out entirely and it'd still be a terrible movie. You could even replace them with a straight couple and it wouldn't change the fact that the movie was just bad. They changed Buzz Lightyear so he's nothing like the character Tim Allen portrayed. They changed Zurg so again he's basically an entirely different character. The story is just boring and doesn't really make sense. And the idea that they present it as Andy's favorite movie, that is the reason he wanted a Buzz Lightyear toy in the first place, no it isn't. In a world where this is the Buzz Lightyear movie kids would want the Socks toy cat not Buzz Lightyear. And there's a good chance his mother wouldn't let him watch the movie in the first place because of the lesbian scene. As bad as things are now they were worse back in the 90's when the movie would have been made in universe. In order for a Buzz Lightyear toy to actually be popular the movie would need to actually show off the features of the toy and he barely even wears that suit.

[@rayharvey1330]

@@RialVestro Pretty sure that 1 second Lightyear scene was a swift punch in the gut for parents who took their kids to see that movie....Strange World was the uppercut that knocked parents out.

[@shipso6116]

You are right, but it's not because of Marvel overwatch, it's because that article was written as a decoy to shift focus from Kathleen Kennedy personally, she was the one overwatching it and she's the main "Girl Power" preacher in Disney, so ofc she would omit all that shit.

Personally, I think Marvel’s biggest mistake was trying to keep Avengers going. After the blip/snap/whatever they call it, they could have used it as an excuse for an explosion of mutants and done a few X-Men movies, plus half the world’s population being killed by an alien might have caused a fantastic group of four people to go into space to set up something to keep another Thanos from showing up. Endgame was the perfect time to let new people jump onboard without having to watch 25 movies to get caught up. Basically, just start again with self contained films that hint at connections and build to some big issue.

8:33 no joke that actually sounds like that could have been way better than what we actually got. Instead of trying to do a sitcom/superhero show/critic of superhero media/law procedural, just do a law procedural focusing on how the law has changed in wake of the MCU. Call it “Jennifer Walters: attorney at law” and have every episode follow a different court case about the events of the MCU. You could even addapt one of her major stories and have one of the first episodes be her defending old captain america. It could also be a great way to introduce Matt Murdock into the world, have him be a recurring character who often fights against Jen in the courtroom, but have him as matt not daredevil. I think it makes the show more concise, gives it a unique identity and it’s no longer trying to be like 5 different shows in one.

5:23 I can say many things about marvel, but to say it's complicated or "too difficult to follow", "too interwoven" is not one of them. If anything it'd be COOL if we seriously had guest stars jumping between movies and shows instead of teases of other franchise parts in couple of scenes at the endcredits of movies/shows. Other problem is that shows and movies don't actually connect with each other. Wandavision and Dr Strange 3 are god-awful in how they dealt with wanda/scarlet witch. Hawkeye show was so unimportant that i don't even know why it was ever made. Marven/disney rushed the living sh out of anything past phase 2 and thats the problem. Then we have the ethernals, or jang chi (the rings guy) and their connection to the rest of the universe was simply ignored. Not hushed, but ignored. Sorry, you either want the interwoven world, or you just make stuff up as you go and ignore rules when they require work.

[@user-vg8ox3he1i]

The real problem is that when they went to TV, that opened the doors to all those people mostly female creators who hate men to suddenly have a chance to ruin the franchise. You will never convince me that the creators of She-Hulk care deeply about that character as anything more than an outlet for their issues with men. They couldn't even be bothered to make her a good lawyer, instead she's focused on screwing around and being catty. You could have made this work but you need one hell of a plan and total control. The second you hire people that you can't micromanage as needed because you're scared of getting "called out" on Twitter, it's over. They brought in a lot of people and let them do whatever they wanted and some of those people just wanted to wreck the place and get paid. Here's what I mean, they have been making procedural cop television non-stop for the last FORTY years. The public still doesn't get tired of it. Some shows are better than others, but cop shows work because there are way more hits than misses and even the mediocre shows are pretty good. Also it's pretty clear that the budgets were likely blown on endless changes, and key staff filling their pockets.

He was definitely the first villain to have a special edition dedicated to him. It was a magazine sized book that gave his origin story. From his childhood to his becoming ruler of latveria. And explained how his problem with the FF was a personal beef with Reed Richards. So no you don't need the FF to introduce Doom. He is a stand alone villain.

My prediction? The multiverse will 'collapse in on itself' leaving but one universe as happened in the CW series The Flash during a stupid crossover. The idea of the multiverse is nothing but a NOVELTY, a gimmick, to see different versions of the same character. The downside is that if a character dies, who cares? There's an infinite amount more of them, so a heroic sacrifice like Tony Stark's or Black Widow's in Endgame now officially MEANS NOTHING. It's inevitable that the multiverse will collapse or characters will become pointless and have no inherent value. One or the other, choose Marvel.

Someone in the marvel department got the bright idea that comic book fans will blindly eat up whatever garbage you throw at them, reboot after reboot, without ever taking the time to look at comic book sales and realize that while a small number of diehard fans will buy anything and everything, the (American) comic book market has been hemorrhaging money because people are getting fed up with the frequent reboots, the bad artwork, and the crappy writing.

I'm guessing the story coherence and in world logic is going out the window because they're too concerned with promoting an ideology or two. It appears that some prominent sub-set of creatives have thought they can do social engineering by just lecturing people through superhero metaphors. When such a metaphor is congruently socially desirable this is a net positive for the stories that are generated. When it is not, it's an overwhelming negative for the reception of such stories. This is the tail attempting to wag the dog. If the dog is a long way away from desiring to wag from a given stimulus, what you get is a disjointed and painful conclusion. In other words a lot of people end up getting butt hurt both because the ideology they see as unquestionably good isn't accepted (on one side) and because people's sense of social self is being questioned as bad, on the other. Underlying all this is the very prominent reworking of existing stories moral codes and internal rule sets. The one sacrosanct framework a story has to follow is that the rules as to what is morally right and mechanically correct for a given universe have to stay consistent. If it starts in one place and in a subsequent iteration becomes another, they are not actually the same universe. If the good guys are no longer good or the rules about an effect or property, unique to a universe, changes then the stories that feature those claims are no longer consequences of the original story. They are radical reworking of the universe itself. In reality any story can be added to in any form whatsoever, because there are no rules about how the imagination works. That doesn't mean the subsequent stories are reasonable continuations of the original story or make any logical sense. The writers have to engineer that for it to be a trait of the new stories. If they are not doing that, then why should anyone desire to see them? They've muddled the continuity, and moral evaluation, across the board, in multiple franchises now. So they are teaching us not to trust the content can be consistent or desirable. That is a much bigger problem than any particular villain or hero. I don't trust them to make good stories because they've shown me their version of good isn't the same as my version of good. Not only that but that anything in the future that could generate a plausibly good instance of a story can be completely undone in the next instance. Why would I want to live in a house where the next time I visit it, it has completely changed and what I liked about the original house has disappeared? Let alone one that has replaced its contents with aesthetically superficial non-sense and annoying housemates who are profoundly unattractive and lecture me the moment I walk in through the door. The people who are writing the current crop of stories have forgotten why we want to experience stories in the first place. Perhaps they never knew.

‘The actor insists he is a he victim’ What else is new with anyone at Disney?

[@myluspennington7243]

it's in Jonathan majors contract that they can't replace him and the blade movie they're not doing that female lead . because that script had blade gay. . so the actor threatened quit now the script has changed and it's delaying so in the movie blade does come out it's going to be entirely different movie than the female lead crap

The real sad part is that Blade was the first real attempt at a good movie for MCU and he should have been seen much more in it....sad that the first nail out of the coffin will be the first nail back in

@@dcmastermindfirst9418 It is not part of the main MCU...movie is good. but it's not MCU. MCU explain this as being only a variant.

It's time to face facts. The mcu died with Endgame.
