You new to this board? Idiots on this board have been predicting and calling for the death of comic book movies for years. Of course they don't represent the larger populace, they're just backwoods idiots who get off on spamming this board with their horrible, idiotic predictions.

And now the board is getting spammed with "SJW" complaints from people who don't know what that term means and think it's part of some crazy agenda to portray black men as anything other than criminals, or women as anything other than fat housewives.

If they worked in some of that it might give this lame slate in Phase 4 a boost.

Of course it would probably be dudes sucking off each other.

Its possible, but it will take several bad movies to lose the good faith they have with the audience at this point.

Losing Spidey (for now) hurts, but I’m still excited for the Strange and Thor movies and I think Sheng-Chi has potential.

The new phase looks incredibly weak and the more infused they become with the SJW movement the less their movies will be enjoyable.

Mark my words, guys, Marvel will eventually go down sometime in the future.

Also guys, Ed Orgeron will not coach at LSU forever. Mark my words.

This sounds less prophetic and more like you're really hoping it tanks because you're angry less heroes look like you.

You and RamRod are GOAT mind readers.

I've been saying that I was personally sick of them, but I never predicted they'd go away soon, and certainly not "before Avengers."

On the contrary, I've said that the built in box office would ensure we'd be bombarded with them for years.

Or has it branched out to other divisions?

She detailed how they inflated revenues in that division, but others have already been calling Disney out on 'buying' movie reviews, and reporting almost empty theaters as being sold out

Its just a matter of time until the movie division gets outed (or Disney might quietly scale back, out of fear). Look for noticeably smaller ticket numbers in the very near future

Conspiracy theorists on YouTube and message boards have never proven a thing on that. It has almost always been people angry at how much better Marvel has done compared to DC who have pushed that shite.

I have no doubt Disney "buys" good reviews by controlling access and dolling out perks through access.

But how can they report an empty theater as sold out? Is the implication that Disney is buying tickets?

When I worked at a cinema we had people not affiliated with us counting butts seats during the screenings. They weren't there for any particular distributor. I always thought they were part of the audit of making sure ticket sales and patrons lined up.

Having women and minorities as leads or important characters doesn't make it SJW infused. Sure if they go SJW just for the hell of it and the writing sucks then they will fall off. But nothing has shown that to be the case. If they convert characters to things that don't fit like changing race, gender, sexuality just to appease a liberal agenda sure they might fall off, but again they haven't shown that.

Is the upcoming slate appear weak...yes. But other than Spider-man the entire MCU character lineup were weak nobody characters before the MCU turned them into juggernauts. Other than a handful of virgin nerds even knew who 3/4 of the past marvel characters even were.

So yeah you sound like an idiot. And i hate SJW crap and i'm bored with Comic movies, but they aren't dropping off because a female super hero or minority have leads.

Conspiracy theorists

I'm just going by what our local people said about Capt Marvel & Black Panther. They claimed their showings being sold out, but in reality 20 to 30 seats at each showing were empty.

And we only have the one theater in medium sized city. No way 25 people were buying tix online, and then not bothering to show up, for almost every showing.

So, entertainment companies hype up their films in the media during their theater runs? Color me shocked! Shocked, I tell ya!
