    Marvel fans, we've recently got some new plot leaks about the Fantastic Four that make me think the movie will end in a super dark way! I think Reed Richards might even be the real villain of this movie! This all has to do with how this movie connects to Secret Wars! FULL BREAKDOWN HERE!
    Marvel fans, we need to talk about some new crazy rumors about Spider-Man 4 with Tom Holland! I wanted to clear up some confusion about reports of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield in Spider-Man 4, BUT the new stuff about the Venom Symbiote and the way this will connect to Tom Holland is way more crazy than that! THIS WILL BE SO WILD IF KEVIN FEIGE DOES THIS!!!
    Marvel fans, the MCU is changing a lot right now, and that includes plans around the Avengers! In this video, I've gathered news rumors and comments from insiders that explain what the new plan for the Avengers moves are! This includes the cast, what they'll do with Kang, and MORE! This actually sounds pretty good and once you hear about it I think you'll be hyped for the Avengers in the next couple of years!!!
    Marvel fans, we've got new leaks and reports about Kang being replaced, Secret Wars becoming 2 movies, AND Kevin Feige changing his plan for the MCU X-Men! In this video, I talk about all the most recent updates about the crazy changes happening over at Marvel Studios!
    Marvel Studios has fired Jonathan Majors as Kang in the MCU! There are so many different reports, news articles, and comments from insiders talking about what is happening now. In this video, I'm sharing with you the best information that is out there and what I think Marvel will do now. Will they recast Kang or shift focus to Doctor Doom?
    Marvel fans, we need to talk about Doctor Doom being the villain of Avengers Secret Wars! Some think Kevin Feige is changing the plan to go away from Kang, BUT there's some evidence that Doctor Doom was ALWAYS the planned villain of Avengers Secret Wars! THERE'S ACTUALLY SOME PROOF OF THIS!!
    WE JUST GOT ANOTHER X-MEN IN THE MCU! The post-credit scene of The Marvels shows us Beast, BUT it actually shows us much more than most fans think! This scene actually shows us what Kevin Feige's plan for the X-Men in the MCU is! Let's get into this and break it down in FULL DETAIL!
    The ending of Loki Season Two was INSANE! But... What actually happened? In this video I'm going to explain what happened, AND I'm going to explain HOW it happened! There are clues in the show, and in other MCU projects, that give us clues to what is really happening for the Loki character. THIS WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!
    Marvel fans, we need to talk about new leaked information about the ending of Loki Season 2!! This is really crazy and ties into leaks about Deadpool 3 and Secret Wars in the MCU!! Kevin Feige has some really cool stuff planned for Loki!!!
    Marvel fans, this is NUTS! We've got some new leaks about how Loki Season Two and how it leads to the plot of Deadpool 3! This involves the TVA and also sets up "New Earth" and Avengers Secret Wars! This is really cool and I'm excited about the future of the MCU because of it!
    Marvel fans, we NEED to talk about new leaks for Secret Wars! Kevin Feige is cooking up some crazy things for Deadpool 3, The Kang Dynasty, and Avengers Secret Wars! In this video, we're breaking it all down and explaining why Tom Holland Spider-Man is the chosen one from Earth 616!

      I was going to pipe up in here to make a similar comment. Content mill creators gonna content, but it’s always been this way. Good writing and performances will attract audiences to lesser known characters like the Guardians regardless of their historical popularity. Bad storytelling will keep people away, even from more well known characters like…well most of what DC has done in the last 15 years.

    Almost all of the MCU's new characters over the past few years were never much of a success in terms of comic book sales to begin with. The X-Men on the other hand are arguably WAY more popular in comics than the Avengers themselves and are eclipsed in Marvel sales only by Spidey. Wolverine on his own has driven more comic sales than Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, etc. If Disney doesn't F this up the MCU's best days could be still ahead of them.

    • @Tyler_W
      @Tyler_W Месяц назад

      I honestly think the idea that they haven't been popular because they're lower tier characters is a red herring excuse. It implies a lot of revisionist history that MOST of the currently popular MCU characters weren't also relatively unknown to the general public. Literally the only characters who had broad recognition with non-comic readers were Hulk, Spider-Man, and Captain America, and Spider-Man is the only one most people actually kind of know anything about. The problem is that they haven't been hiring talent or making creative decisions like they used to when the MCU used to work. Quality, professionalism, and good ideas have taken a backseat to things like "representation." For example, the guy who was put in charge of Moon Knight was given that show because he was Egyptian, not because he liked the character, not because he had a good idea for the story, not because he had any relevant experience that would suggest that he would be a good fit.

We didn't want something new and groundbreaking, we wanted what has been called the second-best superhero cartoon of all-time (when you're second to Batman: TAS, that's nothing to be ashamed of).
    I'm north of 45 years old and I am completely in love with a cartoon show again. I am not the least bit ashamed by this. X-Men '97 is one of THE best shows on TV today, PERIOD! Modern audiences will still love this show because it's just a great show, all of the politics be damned!

    Marvel has been progressive always because Stan, Jack and many others were progressive. The fact that you get all upset and both sides it, is your deal. I am enjoying the new cartoons, and Marvel phase 4 spread itself too thin, but there were some truly great shows and movies in it and some truly triggered moderates and conservatives who never understood that comics as an art form, was a creation pioneered by Jewish children of immigrants, from Captain America and Superman (who were anti-fascist, and progressive populists) to X-Men to Spider-Man (who speak to civil rights for the marginalized and the ethics of working poor vs the rich and being responsible, JJJ?), has always been about the ethics of selflessness, equality and being a force for good beyond yourself and your family.
    The fact that these ideas are now considered extreme Left is sad as hell, and the fact that comics are only entertainment to some, folks who aren't inspired by the nuanced heroism of truly ethical yet complex characters is beyond me, but there are plenty of Star Trek fans that hate socialism, the very premise of the show.
    One generation's freedom fighter is just another generation's entertainment I guess.
    I enjoy your show, but get real, this isn't a both sides are good people deal.

My dad grew up in the south during the civil rights era that was a proper fight for freedom people that looked like us couldnt even use facilities that whites could . This shit going on now is a bunch of children acting like victims that already have rights wanting things rigged in their favor and some went out committing crimes out of entitlement which is a huge setback to relations between whatever they are example that one girl lit up a school she deserves a spot in hell for what she did and im not even largely religious .

      Disagree. You have to take a very generic and nonspecific interpretation of what "progressive" means. Marvel was always liberal, not progressive, and there is absolutely a difference. In many ways, "orogressivism" cloaks itself in liberal garb in order to advocate for fundamentally anti-liberal values.

    The trick is to touch on these subjects without pushing it too hard. The X-Men are doing it right so far. If it fits the character and the story and it's done right it can be very moving and still hit on all of the points you wanted to make. But it has to happen organically. Instead of having a character say that she's a badass woman and constantly reference the world of men all the time, you could just have a character like Sarah Connor who just WAS a female badass. She didn't have to talk about it. She stepped up as the ultimate female protagonist and we all knew.

    The problem we run into all too often is the geekdom is very bipolar... you have one segment that is complaining that Marvel is too formulaic Wallace another segment is complaining that it's to diverse.
    Both of them don't seem to understand that this is a for-profit company that is trying to maximize profits... 🤦‍♂️
    And both of them have already decided they won't like the new project because "it's bad" even before the project comes out.

      That depends on how you define what is the predominant consumer base. Often, one's ideological bias will have one scene social structures in such a way that reinforces what they already want to believe...
      Ex. If a comedy, action, etc, movie has a predominantly Black cast, then it's often deemed as a black movie. But if a movie has a predominantly white cast, then it's just considered a movie... It's one's own unconscious biases that doesn't recognize how we tend to delineate these movies within our social structures.

    To be fair. Marvel probably felt like they did this with Gradians of the Galaxy but ALSO Ironman, Thor, and Captain America too.

    Pffft... X-Men '97? Yeah, it did.
    But Marvel Animations are truly the ones who SAVED Marvel's ass! Before the mcu, we had Marvel Animations, who kept Marvel alive and made it feel absolutely special because of the animated projects it delivered.
    They based themselves around the comics, for those were their only inspirations.
    That was the Golden Age...
    until it was taken away from us when disney bought Marvel! When that dilemma happened, Marvel Animation's were taken into a basement, and it hybernated in that exact spot for DECADES until these sucka's decided to wake it up.
    The MCU and its content has so far gotten absolutely stale throughout these years because they're literally watered down Marvel stuff that can't really compare itself with the COMICS... in these days, they can barely capture the magic of what made Marvel SPECIAL when it came to the books.
    Marvel started to suffer.
    So then these guys decided to get Marvel Animations out of its chambers! Judging by the first two episodes of X-Men 97, it seems like Marvel Animations are grinning like demons becuase they KNOW that they're about to show every single one of yall on how THEY stand on *FREAKING* business... to show you all that they know how to run Marvel like a freaking dime, for they're not based around the MCU.
    These guys are honestly the only people to really save Marvel and make it feel special.
    That's their power.

    Good or not, no single project will "save the MCU." ONLY consistent return to quality over time, as well as respect for the built in audience and for the established property (as opposed to antagonizing the audience and trying to make it something other than what people already liked about the property) will accomplish that, but this is a good start. I agree that all of these points are a good thing, though.

I agree when you mentioned trying to expand their fanbase shouldn’t be done at the cost of their already existing fan base. Since people will ask each other if they should get into certain shows/movies/music whatever it’s good to have the already existing fanbase putting in a good word for the what they’re into. I live in a pretty progressive city (Vancouver BC) and let me tell you the audience they’re trying to reach just doesn’t even care to give it a chance no maters how much pandering Disney tries to do. Because the word of mouth amongst the already existing fan base doesn’t make the franchise approachable right now.
