  • Disney Marvel have been an absolute disaster over the last two years, but Disney recently announced some news that may mean they're are starting to improve. Disney Marvel announced that they have cancelled sequels for Ant-Man, The Eternals, Captain Marvel and The Marvels. This seemingly means Disney have also cancelled their diversity quotas which were resulting in them thinking diversity is what makes a movie good not the story as well. Of course nothing wrong with Diversity and having diversity target goals but you can't forget to also give those diverse characters a good story, which Disney and Marvel have done.

    Disney needs to understand we don't hate female characters we love them like Ripley Xenomorph Queen Sarah Conner etc we hate no flaws characters and they can easilly get away from their consequences people want to see characters with flaws and overcome their flaws and face consequences that is what makes them likeable

      In fact LoK was so good it ruined ATLA. I watched LOK because other men at my work were talking about how good it was. Grown ass adult men in the military were gushing about LOK. I watched it with my foreign spouse and we devoured LOK. Then I said “let’s try ATLA, it’s the original show and should be better”. My wife routinely fell asleep while the show was on and I barely could finish each episode. ATLA didn’t get good until the end. Meanwhile LOK had a full story arc in each season with a build up, a climax and a resolution. LOK is simply what happens after the creators of ATLa perfected their craft.

      ​@@Kevin_Doval Nah you just have rose tinted glasses on. LoK is easily better than ATLA. You watched ATLA as a kid and don't realize how bad it was. You are talking about being "objective" but your entire argument is a giant "nu-huh". Dude, don't even pretend that Fire lord Ozai was a better bad guy than Amon. I think i know the problem. See, you didn't see the real world philosophies being played out. Amon was low key spitting facts. Hell, each season's bad guy was low key spitting facts except maybe season 2. Fire lord ozai was just generic bad guy because the story needed a bad guy. I have no idea how you can say Korra was a bad character but act like Aang was any better. Aan was an annoying doofus that spent the early parts of the show trying to goof off while the world burned. Do you genuinely not understand how the sequel hits the same character beats? It doesn't repeat but it does rhyme. Aang learns to grow up and take things seriously and he struggled with bending earth. Kora is over confident and needs to stop being so brash and she struggles with bending air. You can't talk about being objective while saying one is better than the other. You are tipping your hand that you are confusing your subjective whims with objectivity. I am being objective when I talk about the shows and I am happy to go into intricate detail on each season's arc and the philosophy each antagonist espoused and how each one was a deeper character than Ozai.I am guessing you have no college under your belt and you have no interest in either history, philosophy, geopolitics or psychology because if you did, you would have been thoroughly engrossed in LoK as I was. I say that because there is NONE of that in ATLA. You sound like JJ Abrams when he did his remake of star trek and was like "yea i dunno, start trek always came off as philosophical...so I stayed away from that" which is to say, he completely misunderstood star trek and then made something that wasn't star trek because yes, star trek IS philosophical at its core. You just "aren't playing at the varsity level" mentally and thus the story elements that make LoK so amazing just flew over your head.

    The problem with the current activists masquerading as "writers" is that they are highly insecure. They either delete the men or make them jerks and expect men (who form majority of superhero genre audience) to take their girlboss seriously. That's not how it works. You don't see such level of insecurity from male writers or sensible non woke female writers. In a male superhero character centric movies, there will also be a strong female character who will be surely fan favorite. For e.g. I am yet to see Black Widow hater in avengers or someone who hates Sarah Conner or Ripley or Scarlett witch aka Wanda. The reason ? None of them are Mary Sue with no backstory or dark side.

For a smaller scale movie, it didnt out Shang Chi as someone better than the older superheroes that came before him type movie like Captain Marvel or Black Panther 2/ Eternals, it sure may have showed a diversity but not in the way of ruining the movies experience since we know its a kung fu and martial arts movie which we also havent gotten in a long time. It just brought us to a new side of the MCU and opened up more of the universe. Besides bringing in more asian fans there were still quite the number of caucasian fans 55% that came to see it than asian fans 10% at around making up the fans. And even with the larger fan base being heavily white, the movie was still a success to fans because it had a pretty good story. Id say Shang Chi was one of the ONLY successful Diversity based marvel movies and for a few reasons, it didnt outright make the cast hate on its white male fans, it didnt make asians be better and mainly, because it focused on just its small story between how a father wrecked his relationship with his family which we can all relate to.

      The actors are sick of the reshoots and lack of creativity. They're sick of the fans being sick of the movies and, by extension, sick of the actors the fans see. But actors are the problems too, being cast illegally and immorally based on political affiliation and belief systems. The actors are problems because many of them have taken their political views to the public. They're not just actors - they'd be okay as actors - now they're activists instead. I'll never invest to see Bree Larson, Tatiana She-Hulk girl, Rachel Zegler, or pretty much anyone associated with Disney ever again. The 'tree' is diseased from its roots (Bob Iger, Kathlene Kennedy) to the trunk (writers, producers) to the branches (actors) to the fruit (shows and movies). The tree will surely die if it is not pruned and new branches grafted in.

The release was ruined due to Covid, but that was probably a blessing, as it would've tanked like many of the other female lead films. Marvel demographics are identical to Star Wars. 65% male and 75% white. And Disney is absolutely doing everything possible to alienate that core audience...because they know better than we do what we should like to watch.

    Tbh, I didn't dislike Hawkeye or Kate Bishop. I mean, remember the context, they had basically just launched Disney plus, needed some content, and as far as a first series goes, it wasn't terrible...well, as long as it was the starting point and learning opportunity for the next series. Except they removed anything and everything decent about it and tripled down on what was wrong.
    Simplest example: Kate's fangirling over Hawkeye stems from being rescued by him when she was a child, so, to that end it can be at least inferred that she trained herself (wealthy family means she could afford it), to have similar skills (save maybe the different sword style, but, heck, it's still swordplay). Also she botches things. A lot. But eventually she learns AND none of this comes at the expense of emasculating Hawkeye in the process. P.S there was something of an arc for him, dealing with the aftermath of his actions as Ronin and facing Yelena and dealing with his hearing problems. Great arc? No, not really, but at least there was something. Now take Khamala's fangirling over Captain Marvel, her shallow reasoning as to why she wants to be like her, then getting her powers via mail... As the Critical Drinker would say: F off show. As for the story/character arc....was there anything there...?at all?!

I liked the normal kid aspect of her character. She made mistakes. She had to practice. She had to rely on others. She wasn't written as great, she was written as, "she's OK, has promise, needs to get better." Also, I adored the family and friends aspects of the show. Was it a great show? No. Did it entertain me?

      Actually after Captain Mar-vell died the name was given to Monica Rambeau. At the same time Carol Danvers became Ms. Marvel. Then sometime after that Carol Danvers got the name Captain Marvel, and Monica Rambeau became Photon. In my opinion they should've started the whole Captain Marvel journey with the male version and transitioned over time in this order to give audience a chance to grow along with the characters.

    They introduced Captain Marvel as "She has all the power in the universe, can one-shot the biggest threats in the MCU, and her flaw is that men have kept her down but can't keep her down!"
    Yeah, you can do godlike power and still have a good character. Superman's struggles with both finding the moral outcome of unwinnable situations and his goal to make humanity better give him some very interesting struggles. Just read "Whatever happened to the man of tomorrow." Black Bolt has the power to destroy anything, but can't do less than that, so he is burdened by the weight and guilt of his own power.
    Give Captain Marvel something like that, and don't make her way to overcome it being "She's just gotta realize how awesome she is" and you'd have an infinitely more interesting character without having to change hardly anything.

    Actually if you pay attention Captain Marvel sent her up for her 'character growth' in The Marvels by making her a 'Villain' to the people she was trying to save. It shows her confliction with working with others and self digression, by the end of The Marvels things have changed. I think with Wanda turning straight evil, she was someone who was already corrupted by war, hydra, Ultron, and the UN trying to control her and the avengers. She killed the lover of her life to try and save half the universe, fails, watches his Soul ripped from him and then immediately half of all life was just gone. She is one of the most powerful Characters in the MCU up to date, and that we all know power can easily seed evil, paired with tragedy, what other route would you expect them to go with her?
