And now I'm glad they are older, because as much as I was looking forward to the next phase, I'm just not going to support this stuff any more. I'm sure my paltry dollars will make no difference, but much like LSU Football, I now feel like I can walk away on a high note and realize that they no longer want me as a customer so I should take the hint and stop paying them to entertain me.

This.

Marvel has always been liberal leaning, but they had a good balance (namely Captain America). They are consistently throwing that out of the window at this point. Enough is enough.

I still haven't watched Wandavision or FATWS for feeling this way, and this kind of stuff confirms it for me.

that's a shame because Wanda was awesome and had zero "wokeness" in the actual show

They literally have Ta Nehisi Coates writing for Captain America at this point...that ship has completely sailed.

But I'm pretty ambivalent to this at this point. As I said...I'm glad I got what I did when I got it. Those movies and that ability to share it with my boys was really magical, and we have rewatched them a ton of times. That can never be taken away. But it does not require me to continue to support something which is openly telling me my very existence is a problem. I can take a hint...I'll just say "thanks for the memories" and go spend my time and money elsewhere. Others are free to do as they please...unlike many I have no desire to force others to do thing.
