They cried so much they had your other thread whacked then turn around and call you a snowflake. Thats a very specific type of gaslighting/hypocrisy/irony and it’s only done by the people you mentioned.

How did you miss the
emoji the first time? It was clearly a tongue-in-cheek comment from the start. But apparently somebody’s panties are a bit too tight.

There hasn’t been a demand since Avengers: Endgame

The idea that if something happened in the comic books, then it's canon...
This is correct and actually a tangent point is when it happened in the comics.
Iron Man was such a success because it basically took the classic 1960s origin story of the character and updated it to today. Same with Captain America: The First Avenger and Doctor Strange. While not the origin story, The Incredible Hulk captured the basic nature of the original character.
Storylines like The Winter Soldier, Civil War, the Infinity Gauntlet/Infinity War came much later in the comics-- Winter Soldier much later in 2004, for example. While these came out well after i stopped reading comics, I was at least aware of them and they were still somewhat interesting, decent storylines.
Now we have stuff that is VERY recent, like Ms. Marvel, Red Hulk, a female Thor, the Scarlet Witch's son Wiccan, and Sam becoming Captain America. Most folks other than younger fanboys aren't aware of these storylines, and they are often infused with more leftist, "modern" messages which many do not agree with.
And then we have the race/gender issue. I was fine with Samuel L. Jackson as a black Nick Fury. But I was put off by the way they completely changed canon with the original Mar-vell/Captain Marvel, and was completely disgusted with how they changed Namor the Sub-Mariner, by their own statements, for "inclusivity"...

I freely confess to being a 'normie' on much of the comic book lore. Aside from the basics, I get lost in the different runs and plots from decades of both Marvel & DC characters. (I imagine it to how most other folks view Tolkien, which I am far more familiar).
Hard to screw that up with Sam Jackson, and I feel they nailed it in the movies. (up until Captain Marvel). But what I'm hearing from the D+ shows is that basically everything that made Fury cool, all those great ops he went on, were actually done by his Skrull double, and not Nick himself. Thus reducing Nick Fury to little more than an desk jockey, takikng credit for things others had done.
That's simply awful writing on Disney Marvel's part.
More of the same. Terrible treatment of the source material and inferior writers trying to reinvent the wheel for a "modern audience". There are no creatives left at Disney, it seems.
*Literally zero reasons for the DVs here. Good grief, just stating my opinion, why are there such snowflakes on this board?

Milking the Marvel movies for all they can. It is a business after all.
That's the name of the game. The Infinity Saga was art, and most everything since Endgame has felt like it's been on a downward slide. Black Widow, Spiderman Far From Home, and No Way Home were all good, but felt (at least to me), like the franchise had already jumped the shark and was turning downhill.
IMHO, the most graceful thing would have been ending it at Endgame, but shareholders are not looking for grace or even art, they need $$$$.
I like Anthony Mackie, and I like his charater, but the magic is gone.
