      Disney/marvel is not gonna fix anything. There are two wrapped up in the message and also the fact that the leadership right now needs to be fired for anything to get better. As for me I don’t care about the MCU or Disney or Hollywood in general anymore I have my anime and stuff from Japan. I’m good.

      Major's case is like watching Narcissistic A-Hole vs Crazy Clout Chaser. Neither are 💯 right. Classic train wreck of people we would despise in real life. Maybe they'll both learn from this and avoid toxic behavior afterwards but I really don't think they're that self aware lol

      There are others. My hero Academia comes to mind and for something more comedic, One punch man (who have a protagonist as powerful as Captain Marvel but has a personality).
      There is surprisingly much you can do with super heroes if you just have a little imagination and some talent.
      I am however expecting Disney to double down instead. They just hired a black female director with no experience at all for fiction to make the next Star wars movie and expect something similar to Marvel.

    Hey Greg, quick legal point: Appellate courts very rarely overturn criminal convictions because they disagree with a jury's decision on the facts. The idea is that, absent fraud or malfeasance, if a jury could have reasonably reached the conclusion that they did based on the evidence presented at trial, it's not the role of an appellate court to second-guess them. Appellate courts typically review decisions of law made by the trial judge. So if the judge impermissibly allowed the prosecution to present some evidence to the jury that they shouldn't have seen or advance some prejudicial argument against Majors, that might constitute reversible error.
    Anyway, love your take, as always!

    I think your idea of starting a new “universe” is genius. If Marvel had started with the idea of creating characters and stories in one universe and then pivoting to a second universe once that saga wraps up they would’ve had decades worth of content (not to mention the blank canvas creators would have each time a new saga is created). Also inevitably when the multiverse idea is introduced it would be way more impactful since we would have deep connections to all of the characters that span multiple sagas/universes

    Is it possible that Majors was still in character or that his character was affecting him. Homie thought he was the new Thanos. Maybe he was talking about his potential when saying that he was a "great man." He obviously isn't and now won't be... but maybe he saw his path leading him to be a great man and was talking about his full potential future self. I feel kinda bad for him.

    I don't have a horse in the race, but it seems to me that the evidence was too inconclusive for the the jury to have convicted. About Majors being a doucher, I understand a studio making their choices but him being a pompous donkeyhole is unfairly prejudicial considering the evidence and the instructions given to the jury. It's unconscionable to me that considering the evidence that the D.A. could bring charges against one of the couple without bringing them against both of them.

    Your proposition included logic in it and a potential to generate revenue for MCU hence there is no way marvel to follow that route. I do not have a major in this but Marvel seems to afraid of any sort of change so they will still try to do things like back then under the guise of "reshoots" and "recasts". CEOs and top guys are the same so a new path is unlikely.

    On the X-Men. You clearly haven't heard the Disney leak about the female led X-Men. (lol) It's funny that Disney killed Marvel because Marvel already did this to itself in the 80s and 90s: It's like a time loop.

And In terms of kang, The storyline wasnt working either way, you cant have your main villan lose the ant man n a fist fight. And No, They will not abandon the mcu, coz films like Deadpool 3, Spiderman 4 and the Avengers movies are going to be all billion dollars, it will be a wasted oppurtunity

    What the MCU SHOULD have done was end Endgame with a post-credit scene in the 1960's showing a mutant being born. Then the next phase could have been introducing mutants - Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, Vision and the Scarlett Witch, Weapon X, Namor: The Sub-Mariner, etc. - with the requisite post-credit scenes of Professor X and Magneto poaching mutants for their respective teams, leading up to phase-ending X-Men movie. You could also throw Fantastic Four in there as the franchise for the gonzo, wacky, and cosmic stuff, starting with the Mole Man and later introducing Annihilus and the Negative Zone, Doctor Doom and the anti-Wakanda of Latveria, Sauron and the Savage Land, and Kang as a lower-key FF villain. Over subsequent phases you could play out stories based on the Mutant Massacre, Mutant Registration Act and the Sentinels, X-Tinction Agenda, New Mutants/X-Force, Mutant Genesis/Fatal Attractions, etc. as your organically topical superhero movies while the FF and Spider-Man are being gonzo fun movies. However, the entire decade-2 MCU ends with Earth's heroes fighting Galactus. That's even when you can pull the Avengers characters out of mothballs to join in, since we basically haven't heard anything from Falcon, Winter Soldier, The Hulk, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, etc. during any of this. But you HAVE TO include the scene with Tom Holland's Spider-Man and Charlie Cox's Daredevil just sitting out and watching the X-Men, Brotherhood, Avengers, Fantastic Four, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc. fighting Galactus because they know they can't do sh*t about it.
    But all of that is happening in some other parallel universe where I worked for Disney. In this universe, it's too late to do anything.

His genius level surpasses both Reed Richards and Tony Stark, while his control over magic rivals Dr. Strange, yet he's the leader of his own fictional country who doesn't get his hands dirty for no reason. Have him play similarly to Thanos, slowly dropping hints of his existance and have the "Fine, I'll do it myself" moment.

    Instead of individual movies I think they need to take a page out of the 90s playbook and build two separate teams: Blue and Gold. That would allow them to have a wide cast they can pull from and a team-up movie that has the two teams chasing different goals and then joining forces at the start of the third act. It would also let them focus on different aspects of the team and the X-Men as a concept between the two, such as the Blue team fighting for Xavier's dream while the Gold focuses on diplomacy.
    A full shutdown and reboot is a great idea, because it would be Marvel admitting without admitting that they've lost the audience and they are willing to try something new to get them back. Continuing down the Multiverse Saga path is just going to make more of the same.

      I like the idea of keeping the best and getting rid of the worst, but I’m afraid the normies (and I include myself there) would be confused by what is real and what is canceled. Easier to make a clean break, BUT that break needs to come with a new mentality towards storytelling and identity politics that is rotting current Marvel

      ​​​@@gregowen2022 Oh no, I wouldn't be keeping anything, continuity wise it's a completely different thing but maybe keeping some actors like Benedict Cumberbach and Tom Holland. But it would still be clear they're not the same characters, just like nobody thought that J. Jonah Jameson from the MCU and from the Raimi movies were the same. But of course none of it would matter if, like you say, it's the same people with the same ideas still running the show

    Let the Russos make a final Thor movie. In it, wrap up the whole Asgardian storyline with Thor encountering Loki holding the timeline together, tying back to Loki S2. They work together to snuff out all the Kangs, locking them all into a timeline that they prune. Loki and Thor accept Loki's fate and if you want one more multiverse shananigan you have Loki deliver Thor Jane Foster pre-death. They go off and have kids and yada yada. Post credit scenes are very vague - one is a scientist discovering the mutant gene in a lab from an 'unknown' person (fade to black as a snippet of the X-Men theme plays), the other is a scene in space that teases the origin story of the Fantastic Four. That's it. Then you reboot.

      The Russos were the guys who brought us Fat Thor, and came off as positively anti-Loki (in the sense of not seeing value in the character) in interviews. I'd bring back Kenneth Branagh myself, if I were trying to make the film you describe (which sounds great) happen. I will remark in passing that Loki S2 kind of peaked in panderverse quota with the World's Fair episode, and after that turned into an incoherent but moderately entertaining show that backburnered the heck out of the self-righteous and uncharismatic Sylvie and refocused on Loki and Mobius with OB and Victor Timely kind of tagging along.

    The REAL problem with the "MCU" and its possible successor is that it needs to abandon the DIE crap that has them choosing untalented hacks based on gender and skin color, rather than talent-first, then choose by race if you have two roughly equal contenders.
    *The longer they grip the DIE, the more of the value will slip through their fingers...* 😉
    What do I think Marvel will do? Keep ephing it up, until at least Iger gets fired, as well as any idiot who continues to push DIE and ESG. This is a given. DIE is appropriately named... And ESG is a hill to die on.

    Most people are moved by history and circumstance. The winds of change are strong, and we go through life being buffeted by them. Every once in a while however, there will be people who rise to the cream of the crop. But as naturally gifted as these people are, there are others that come along that not only rise to the top, but stand on top of the cream. These are people who seem capable of bending history itself to better suit their needs.
    We all know the names: Jesus of Nazareth, Cyrus the Great, Augustus, Alexander of Macedonia, MLK, Jonathan majors… it's jarring to see that even a demigod can be brought low by accusations and Twitter campaigns. 🙄

    You hit the mark directly on point why the MCU sucks now. Lack of direction towards any proper assemble, Lack of character development or liking towards any of those newer Avengers and Some leaks are saying they tryna shift towards X-Men with Avengers having a very small role in the next saga. I think it's really time we lose faith in the MCU because they do not care and are not passionate enough to make the best out of their potential and deliver 'good' movies having great connectivity. Instead are trying to bring in just popular characters from comics and Cast on the big screens to grab in audience in the theatres to hit the blockbuster mark. There are just so much things wrong at the moment. When they can't do good with the with that they had was the best. What good can we expect from them in the future?

    I agree with with most of this video but marvel did not have a plan for phases 1-3. They kinda threw some ideas together and it worked mostly due to haveing likable actors in their roles. There was not long term plan. Thanos was just tacked onto the mid credit scene of avengers but you can tell they were trying to figure the story out as they went. It’s true that marvel needs a cohesive plan moving forward but if you watch the movies you can tell they didn’t have one before. At least they were trying something different with Kang.
