Marvel top executive who said 'Xmen is a problematic name' fired amid recent MCU disasters

VIDEO Breakdown of how massive this firing is and what could be coming at Lucasfilm as well
Cliffs:
- Largely thought of and one of the "untouchables" at Marvel Studios.
- She was one of the architects of the M-She-U and perhaps the most vocal opponents of Florida's parental rights bill from 2022 that essentially sunk former Disney CEO Bob Chapek.
- Former president of visual effects and executive producer on the original Iron Man as well, who was key in driving Iron Man out as the focal point of the MCU.
- Also maybe the most powering DIE pushers in the company.
- Top Lucasfilm execs could be next
- Everyone at Disney should be shitting bricks right now
- Iger, who all the employees thought would keep the status quo, is having to answer to Nelson Peltz and other major shareholders who want heads to roll.

Victoria Alonso, a veteran executive producer at Marvel Studios, has stepped down, several sources have told The Hollywood Reporter.
She has been with the Marvel Cinematic Universe before the first “Iron Man” movie even dropped, in which she served as a co-producer and helped kick things off for the studio, THR added. Her run lasted for 17 years, having started in 2006 as the chief of visual effects and postproduction.
She also co-produced many other early films like “Iron Man 2,” “Thor” and “Captain America: The First Avenger” before the release of the mega-successful “The Avengers” in 2012, which elevated the concept of a successful shared universe for superhero films. According to Box Office Mojo, the film made over $1.5 billion at the box office worldwide.
Since then she has served as an executive producer on many Marvel blockbusters and TV shows on Disney+.
The exit was made official on Friday. Though the reasoning is still unclear.

Her departure comes in the shadow of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania‘s poor showing at the box office and among critics and fans.
In addition to her behind-the-scenes work, Alonso has been an important ambassador for the studio’s representation efforts and was outspoken during Disney’s dispute with Florida over its “Don’t Say Gay” bill. “As long as I am at Marvel Studios, I will fight for representation,” Alonso, who is gay, said at the time.

She must be devastated that she won’t be making her Ex-Men movie.

A lot of Hollywood execs need to be canned. Monies and TV shows are not even worth watching anymore.

Feige supported the m-she-u

I think there are thousands like her out there that will eventually get into Disney. It's like ISIS. The problem isn't individuals as much as the culture and type of people that have influence at entertainment companies.

This is confusing, because I thought I read here everything was fine and those of us pointing out how far Marvel/Disney had fallen were letting our politics get in the way of reality.
What a stunning turn of events...

Yeah, she’s obviously a good person taking on noble causes in an absolute shithole of a state, but sucking at your job is sucking at your job, and Marvel should get someone better in there.

Marvel has released a gross tonnage of suck since endgame.

I thought it was common knowledge. Chapek made the statement that Disney would get away from political commentary and in the wake of the battle with Florida that lead to internal fights leading to his ouster.
The people who believe that Iger, who started the political posturing, was being brought back to undo that is what doesn't make sense.

The minute I hear someone use the word "problematic" in this way, I'm done. I'll still be cordial, even friendly. But I've lost a lot of respect for them. They now have moved to the perimeter relationship ring in my matrix.
buh
bye.

Because they didn’t. She wasn’t fired, she left on her own.
