I was 18 when Iron Man came out and ever since that movie I was a huge MCU fan. But everything post-Endgame has just been mediocre at best and flaming garbage at worst. I don’t see Marvel going out of business or stop producing films anytime soon given how large they are, but their glory days are certainly behind them.

[@ShaolinShadowStroke]

You speak absolute truth. But the MCU had a good ten-year run. It still ran rings around the live-action DCU. But the problem is that Hollywood has painted itself in a corner. It can't go forward, b/c sci-fi and drama is so polluted with wokeness that it's barely watchable. It can't go backwards (e.g. to westerns and other period pieces) because studios refuse to portray the realism of the Old West, the Civil War, World Wars I and II, and the like. That's b/c such realism would trigger too many snowflakes (ooh! that was so racist/sexist! ooh! that battle scene was too gory!) and lead to boycotts and sit-ins. So then they'll try to water the history down so much to placate the "woke" masses that it will be completely unpalatable to everyday people. Case in point? "Red Tails" and "Pearl Harbor." I'm a black guy saying this, by the way. "Tombstone," on the other hand, was excellent. It showcased Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Powers Booth, Sam Elliott, Michael Biehn, and the late great Bill Paxton at their absolute best. But today, a lot of folks would be so busy screeching about why there were no black people in it that the story itself would fly right over their heads.

Anyhow, this brother had a catchphrase: "Hammer Time". M.C Hammer-Hammer Time. Get it? So when Miles Morales said '"Hammer Time" it was like when M.C. Hammer said "Hammer Time". This is called a "Pop-Culture reference". Some folks made fun of MC. Hammer. They said it was crass and dumb to yell out ones own name. There is a South Park character called Timmy who yells out "Timmy". This character is meant as a lampoon of MC. Hammer and his habit of yelling out "Hammer Time". However, the joke is on them, as MC.

Falcon becoming Cap is dumb just on the basis that he’s not a super soldier. He’s literally just a regular human with wings. Tony Stark at least wears a suit covering his WHOLE body. Falcon is like Natasha with wings. He could easily die from just a gunshot and that “symbol” for America would die quickly.

[@Randomperson11121]

@@mrshmuga9 no it’s actually just dumb on the basis that he already has his own identity as falcon, instead of building upon that and the character writers just prefer he goes to take a white man’s identity, even if he was a super soldier he was already falcon and that’s literally saying falcon isn’t good enough for him because they only see legitimacy in white characters lol

[@MysteriousTomJenkins]

So the one thing I am confused about with this...how does Miles getting the powers of Thor suddenly make Asgard black? Because I assume this What If is about the Miles Moralis we know, so I'd assume it'd be a moment in his life where instead of being bitten by a spider, he finds Mjolnir or a wooden cane he then strikes to become Mjolnir but I guess instead this is a character with a COMPLETELY different history who just happens to be called Miles Moralis. I don't really see what the appeal of this is because from what I see, you aren't getting Miles Moralis because Miles isn't Asgardian so this is just some wacky alternate universe with a completely separate Miles Moralis. At least with stories like say Superman becoming Batman, Superman at least had a similar enough origin before it diverged to the point where he became Batman. His life went a different direction but it at least started out similar to Superman's, here though, it clearly didn't start out the same as canon Miles so its not really a story of Miles Moralis at all so besides the racist stereotypes, you aren't even getting a story about the character you wanted because this isn't Miles Moralis. What a completely stupid story, though it was based on a stupid premise anyway because why would we want Miles to be Thor if the people who fell in love with Miles love him for being Spider-Man? That'd be like asking Batman to be Superman, surely you like the character of Batman because he's BATMAN, what are you getting out of him being Superman?

They're trying to push newer diversity characters for woke points, i.e.the agenda, and because if the character is different enough they don't have to pay royalties to the original creators. That's why they want Peter Darker, gay Superman, black lesbian green lantern, black Batman, girl captain marvel, etc...

The more you try to force it on people, the less they like it. Treat your character like a normal person, and if people come, then they come. If not, then it's back to the drawing board.

[@bretbuckley704]

This is also what happens when the concept of "diversity" has been watered down and limited to anyone short of a white, straight male that has the social and political worldview of a stereotypical mainstream leftist. But what gets me is when they try to claim said "diversity" and convince themselves that even when they all say the same shit, look the same way and act the same way, they're somehow being unique, bold, daring, and profound. I'd argue all of these diversity efforts are the products you end up with when you're out of ideas and you don't have a single ounce of creative originality. Authentic diversity should encompass a broad spectrum of things, but now it doesn't even matter if the idea is good or not, it just means "black, female, and gay" at this point and that's quality enough for them.

How are you sticking to walls wearing shoes?! Also miles is basically dark Peter.
