re: ‘Daredevil’ Hits Reset Button as Marvel Overhauls Its TV Business

I didn’t think that level of violence would work either, but Disney needs to put it back in.

Of course, but that would be appealing to an audience they don't seem to want any more. And here's the rub.

Disney went out and purchased Marvel to counterbalance what they already had in the arsenal, which was mostly female properties. It's also why they purchased Lucasfilm. They had princesses wrapped up...they needed to add boys/men to the audience.

So...what did they do after buying them?



And this:

"But, as the plan goes forward I think frankly we'll be ... you know, eventually I think we're going to reach a time where it's not just ... listen, it would be amazing to see all of our female characters the way we have seen ... most, never all male, but primarily male. I think we're getting to the point soon where we have so many great female characters that those are just our heroes as opposed to when are they all female, all male. It's just the Marvel heroes, more than half of which will be women." Kevin Feige - 2018

So, they went out and spent billions of dollars to counterbalance what they already had, then threw it all away to appease feminist activists. And at the same time, their revenue and viewership has declined as the male audience they openly said they didn't care about shrugged and walked away.

It's been crazy to watch.

But hey...who's not jazzed about this?!?
