MCU

[CRAMBAM]

So this week, the Marvels comes out. It will be the first Marvel movie that I will not see in theaters. I can't stand Ms. Marvel. I stopped watching her show when they had a scene of her on the toilet asking for a tampon.

This woke nonsense has to stop. It's amazing because the woke stuff has cost Disney around $1 billion last year alone. But they still do it. Brie Larson comes off as very unlikable. She MAY be nice in real life, but it doesn't come off that way.

The only relevant reason to see the movie was the post-credit scene, which I found online. MAYBE I will watch this movie on Disney Plus when it comes, but I'm actually letting that yearly subscription go.

If they have something I want to see, I will get it by the month.

I saw it. It's a mess of a movie. However, it's not as awful or woke as the first Captain Marvel was.

Still, Fury is wasted and out of character. There are too many characters which leaves the movie unfocused. Ms. Marvel is arguably the best thing in it, and I find her fangirl exuberance a little grating after awhile. Because though she's a teen girl, media keep trying to normalize this kind of behavior and it's stunting 20-something girls into stagnating in this behavior as if it's normal. A little of her goes a long way. But I can't be too mad at Iman Vellani since she at least makes the character passably watchable. I find Kamala Khan in the comics to be just very ugly, with an ugly costume and an ugly power set.

Apart from a passing "black girl magic" "joke", the wokest thing in it was a passing reference to fracking being bad.

Nothing about the plot makes any sense.

Still, I think some of the "worst MCU movie ever" stuff is a bit overblown, as many of the problems were just as evident in a number of their recent films (Doctor Strange 2, Quantumania, Wakanda Forever), but got a pass.

Secret Invasion was also awful.

Thankfully the company finally seems to realize what a mess they are in, but it may be too late to salvage a number of their current projects. They are substantially reshooting the new Captain America movie, which doesn't bode well, as well as completely retooling Daredevil and can't seem to get a workable script together for Blade.

I haven't watched Loki season 2 yet.

I have been debating dropping Disney+, but since I think the yearly renewal probably just hit, I'll likely let it go. But I just got hit with the price hike, so time will tell if I ultimately find it worthwhile. Now that they've finally started trickling out some of the series on bluray, it could be worth canceling.

Funny you mention that since I am dropping Disney Plus myself. They almost doubled the price in a year, and I don't watch it enough to justify that. If I want something, I will just get it for the month.

I haven't see the new Ms. Marvel movie; didn't know one was out. Looks like it's still Brie Larson. I read an article on how terrible MCU is doing lately. Kinda sad.

We had Disney in WA. I didn't know about the price hike. We'll be getting DirecTV again, which we love, and that which includes 3 Disney channels. My family likes Disney.

The reason MCU is not doing as well is that they went woke. Replaced all the white males with other heroes and/or swaps. It's not organic and it's quite racist. Disney is doing this to themselves.
