@@gregowen2022 I have a theory. NERDS are exclusive and classist and the reason why the West is divided in 2020 era. The 90s - early 2000's era was more diverse and widespread than any other time period but it did passover the Revenge of the NERDS 80's era. And although they are a recluse, nerds hate being ignored or ganged up on. They want to feel like they are winning and don't feel women friendships are fair. That's why Black Widow, Maria Hill, and Scarlet Witch don't interact with each other but make their lives about the MEN they surround: Nick Fury, Vision and Hawk-Eye. The Marvels are ABOUT women and that scares nerds. A poll asked who is more powerful: Storm, Wolverine and some other psychic characters and people were really nervous about Storm actually leading the polls and found reasons to talk her down. Why? Storm has taken down psychics without her powers in comics, she's tame around Prof. X.

Maybe you'll cover this in Part 2, but 'The Marvels' director Nia DeCosta basically has one credit for a 'Candyman' movie, and she also has a writing credit on 'The Marvels', yet they brought in new writers in January. For some (checklist) reason, Disney is hiring directors with little big screen and genre experience. Julius Onah is to direct 'Captain America: New World Order' and he has just a few big-screen movie credits, and Yann Demange who is to direct 'Blade' has a few movie credits but more in television. I don't see any superhero/action flicks in any of their IMdbs. The director hired for the pending Star Wars project, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, is a 'Canadian journalist, filmmaker and activist known for her work in films that highlight the inequality for women.' Has she even seen a Star Wars movie?

That's a good chunk of it. They are going to make this movie so bluntly political. As I look into it, it's shocking how many of these people have activist backgrounds. Dacostas first movie was Little Woods and it has all the liberal talking points. Candyman supposedly deals with gentrification police brutality towards blacks. I'm not saying there isn't a place in the film world for that. But I am saying there's a reason they don't get Spike Lee or Tyler Perry to do superhero movies

"Girl Power" can be done perfectly right and a scene in Season 2 of The Mandalorian comes to mind. When an all-female team of Cara Dune alongside Bo-Katan and Co. are infiltrating Moff Gideon's ship to help Mando extract Grogu, they (in lots of John Wick-esque oners) focus on doing their job: Blasting Imperials, and ensuring the mission gets complete. No hair flips, no "girl boss" stares to the camera, no pandering dialogue, etc. Just operators with a mission and execution of that mission being their number one priority.

Problem is writers these days have forgot about the "hero's journey". It isn't about always winning, it's about doing what is morally or ethically the right thing to do even if the stakes are high. It's one of the reasons Spiderman is loved. Life is full of highs and lows and you can easily relate to a hero that gets back up every time his world comes crashing down. You root for that hero, you want to see them succeed. I expect "The Marvels" to be a political dumpster fire. I already plan on skipping it.

With how many people went to see Dr. Strange 2 and asked questions like "Why is Wanda crazy now, and who are these kids she keeps going on and on about?" or "Why is Wanda suddenly stronger than Dr. Strange? Didn't she used to have some mind powers and telekinesis?" you would think Disney would realize that using the TV shows as a basis for the films is a bad idea. Making their least watched show the backbone of one of their most expensive movies is a recipe for disaster. That said from what we know about the characters and the 'using their powers makes them swap places' mechanic we probably already know the entire plot. Some disposable villain does something that may or may not cause the swapping mechanic, and we'll get some fish out of water comedy. Carol and Monica end up fighting because of a misunderstanding. Ms. Marvel makes them stop fighting by showing them that they have more alike than they realize. The three of them then go and defeat the disposable villain, having all learned a lesson from each other, possibly with a false sacrifice that gets walked back seconds after it fails to land anyway. After credit scene comes and reminds us that the story is never over by teasing a new character, played by OMG IS THAT (insert name here)?!?! The only part of that worth watching on KZitem two years from now is the Carol and Monica fight, depending on how the swapping mechanic is used. Imagine a fight where Carol blasts at Monica, so Monica uses her powers to make Carol take the shot instead. But that also sounds like something that Disney will mess up horribly, because following the established rules of their worlds isn't something they are great at doing (see Cassie using Pym tech to mess with police officers who were about let her her leave jail with a shrunken police car for a recent stupid example).

The Marvels is exactly the problematic outcome I was fearing when all those TV shows came out. Like you said, those shows felt like homework. Previously, while we all enjoyed the interconnectedness and little easter eggs across the different movies, you could still watch Avengers without having watched every single solo movie. Now, you need to watch all the solo projects to have any hope of understanding what's going on in the group projects and considering that you have to do it over two different platforms (cinema and streaming), it felt like a complete greedy money grap from Disney. Add to that that it was all done over just a few years, this phase was doomed from the start. It had nothing to do with creativity or building another solid franchise. How they thought they could get away with it is honestly beyond me.

The point you made about characters in the MCU reminds me of how I perceived Marvel and DC most of my life. I often described Marvel comics as being character driven. This being evident in past Marvel stories like Silver or Bronze Age Spiderman or the dynamic among the Fantastic Four with the family elements. Whereas DC seemed more plot driven. You have stories where events would take place. Some stories that come to mind are Crisis On Infinite Earths, where the multiverse is being destroyed and it's up to the heroes of DC's multiple titles to find a way stop the threat. The Long Halloween is a murder mystery themed around the holidays. In the hands a lesser team, it would've come off like a gimmick title coasting the success of The Silence of the Lambs. But in the hands of Jeph Loeb and the late Tim Sale, it not only worked but has the staying power to be one of the best Batman graphic novels of all time. And finally there's Alan Moore's "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?!" I could've used What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, and the American Way, the story that explores the morality of Superman when the world begins to condone the violent methods of The Elite or To the Man Who Has Everything, another Superman story written by Alan Moore showing Superman's desire to have experienced life on Krypton only reconcile that had he lived on Krypton, he would die the same way as his birth parents. Not having the power to save it. Recognizing the value in being Superman. But for all intents and purposes, I will use the example I chose. The intrigue of Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?! explores a world without Superman by depicting the events that led up to Superman's retirement. All while acting as a love letter to legacy of Superman. These were Marvel and DC's strengths, yet I feel that both have forgotten that. And I am left uncertain of what will happen to both in the coming years.

The problem with the MCU is that the characters they're featuring right now are not and never have been very popular. You can tell a Captain America or Dr Strange story because they've been popular for decades and there's very good idea of what makes them appealing. Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel has never been well-liked. America Chavez's solo book is literally one of the worst comics ever published. Many people actively dislike Ironheart because she was written to be so obnoxious. People like Sam Wilson as Falcon but he's just not Captain America. I have no idea what the hell DC has been doing with its movies. It was a major mistake to feature Superman and Barry Allen written so badly out off character right of the bat. Zack Snyder was a just a bad choice. And god do I wish Harley Quinn would just go away for a couple of decades in the movies and the comics.

As a woman, I absolutely detest this new female power centered movies. There used to be plenty of strong and likable female leads. They were awesome. They had character arcs and didn’t have to weaken the men to make the women look strong. They’re not relatable on any level. Most women don’t want to see men be pathetic in weak so the woman can save the day everytime. It’s not “new and fresh” or even well done. Plus, it’s heavy on the politics and the feminism. There’s a time for politics, but when you’re watching a movie and just trying to enjoy a plot, that’s not it. I don’t want to hear girl boss messages in my movies. I want to see good movies. IF there’s a message at all, make it subtle. The movie plot should be able to stand on its’ own. The woke movies keep failing but they keep doing it. Why? For example: in my opinion the movie A Quiet Place 1 and 2 had Emily Blunt be strong and relatable. She wasn’t perfect but she was brave and did her best. Her husband was strong as well and she really complimented that. It was very inspiring. If they’d have made the husband a weakling the movie wouldn’t have been half as good. I’d have just spent the whole first movie being frustrated with him instead of enjoying the story.

When Carol Danvers assumed the Captain Marvel name she was mandated as an important character by Marvel editorial. The MCU needed a women to lead a movie but the movie rights to their most prominent female characters (Susan Richards, She-Hulk and the various X-women) were with other studios. Prior to becoming Captain Marvel Carol Danvers was the original Ms Marvel. In the late 2000s they put her on the Avengers and give her a solo book and she became pretty popular. Then the change happened. As Ms Marvel Carol was compassionate, fun and more than a little sexy. Her and Spider-Man were dating for awhile. When she became Captain Marvel they gave her a more "politically correct" (i.e. less sexy) costume, cut off her hair, and made it a point to have the artists draw her with small breasts, narrow hips and strong chin. They also changed her personality to "gruff hardass"; the way she acts is based on legendary test pilot Chuck Yeager. Basically Marvel decided their most prominent woman needed to be more masculine and less feminine in appearance and personality. Quite frankly it struck me as a bizarre choice at the time and still baffles me.

You'd never know that the guy that was in charge of making the first 3 phases click was also the guy running the next two. The creation of the Avengers and the build towards a war with Thanos, along with its culmination, was pretty much universally praised. Were there hiccups? Sure. But they didn't derail anything. The Multiverse saga, thus far, is a jumbled mess where it means different things in different shows/movies and your villain is actually a million villains, or something? Damn, they even ended up taking shots in the various shows and movies, trivializing Thanos and the power of the Infinity Stones - thus devaluing that whole saga. There's no way they cleanly piece this all together for an 'Endgame' moment. As for The Marvels ,you're spot on when asking whether people will even know/remember/care who they are. I thought Ms. Marvel was good for what it was, but she's definitely not ready for a movie. Monica was a largely forgettable character. Captain Marvel was turned into a Mary Sue whose actress basically told the fans to f off. She's got the charm and personality of a rock, and it shows in her acting, too.

FWIW they didn't actually trivialize the power of the Infinity Stones. They just didn't explain that the stones only work in the universe they're from. That's actually a bit of canon left over from the awesome JLAvengers crossover DC and Marvel did. Six weapons and artifacts of great power were moved from their respective universes to the other by The Collector. Darkseid tracked down the Infinity Gauntlet in the DC Universe only to learn it didn't work there.

Or that theater workers were reporting that online tickets were bought in bulk, but nobody actually showed up to claim them?? I mean, I get it, nobody likes to be a conspiracy theorist, but honestly, WHO counts the collective attendance numbers and dollars? Who’s going to check that the numbers are correct? The pushback on Captain Marvel was so swift and so severe (before the movie came out, obviously), that they couldn’t let us win. Disney HAD to show us we were wrong, and they were right-or else, they wouldn’t bleed every dollar out of us for Endgame. All I’m saying is, it’s not a wild theory to suspect that Disney took the hit financially, but wildly inflated the numbers because they knew they’d more than make up for it with Endgame.

Clearly Marvel no longer has the employees working for them that made the Infinity War saga a success. It’s as if they’ve forgotten how to make a cinematic universe and are falling into the same traps that WB did when they excreted that awful DCEU albatross out of their studio’s rectum. 1. Characters come first. Make self-contained solo films. The Infinity War saga ended. It’s a bookend. Start with new solo films (perhaps use entirely new characters?) and get the audience to care about the main hero again. This would also work as a great test bed for determining the roles of these characters in the final films where they all crossover and meet up (films that didn’t perform as well can have their respective hero’s role reduced). 2. Make supplementary streaming material a bonus - NOT mandatory viewing to understand/appreciate the films. Audiences that didn’t subscribe to Disney+ were completely lost when they watched Doctor Strange: The Multiverse of Madness. 3. Comic book superheroes are a male-dominated market. Stop pigeonholing insufferable feminism into something completely incompatible with it (which usually means: stay on Lifetime Television). Toys, video games, comic books, etc. sales are through the floor because of this. Boys don’t want to sit there and be browbeaten by obnoxious female girl bosses. Hell, the very girl market Marvel is trying to placate doesn’t even read comic books or watch this stuff. It’s a clear case of ideology placed before good business sense. Marvel’s a dead brand. Star Wars is a dead brand. Doctor Who is a dead brand. The Terminator is a dead brand. What do they all have in common? Maybe we should get “The Patriarchy” back into our entertainment because this feminized stuff just isn’t working.

She's played by and actress who fails understand humility and instead pushes humiliation on others and when asked takes offence at nothing but offers offence to everyone openly and indefensibly. But then it's not for us, we're not someone she considered fit to view her material. I must have been one of the few that gave up on Marvel after Infinity War, because to me tine travel. Multiverse and now Metaverse are just weak contrivances to explain away unimaginative, bad writing and an inability to think their way out of a situation without breaking every aspect of continuity and Conan already invested in the plot... This demonstrates Disney's weakness. Disney is a fantasy genre studio incapable of sustained structured story telling. Then they bought franchises built on sustained structured story telling, so they just did what they alway do, that's ignore rules, continuity and canon and not even pretend to adhere to anything in their limited fantasy genre imagination... If they stuck to animated mice and musicals for kids that don't perceive a timeline, continuity and canon the same way, they might do better...
