As long as those movies remain fun and entertaining I will continue to watch them, diversity or not. If they are going to be served with a dose of anti-white bitterness though, I won't find them as entertaining and won't watch them.

You'd think Disney might learn a lesson from Star Wars. Apparently not.

Uh, the reason why Netflix cancelled it's superhero series is because Disney is going to be taking them to their streaming service. And there is no slow down with superheroes. Infinity Wars and Black Panther last year were the two top selling movies world wide and domestic, and we also had Aquaman, Deadpool 2, Venom and Ant-Man and Wasp rounding out the top 11 for box office world wide.

That's not what I am asking though. What do you think about how they are taking out all other movies so you only have Captain Marvel to watch. This is happening on a global scale.

Not a fan. In general I think the entertainment industry is suffering from the same monopolization problem that Big Tech is. We need to start enforcing anti-trust laws again, but we won't because our government is paid off. We need another Teddy Roosevelt, but there isn't one.

Give it a rest already. Everything is not a conspiracy.

This Republican would gladly vote for even a Democrat who is against this big media mergers and semi-monopoly issues.

What lesson would that be?


Lot's of man-children thinking that they own the fandom there, too. Thank you, next.

What I think? I think they are doing all they can except address the bigoted comments from the female lead, that is what I think. Netflix also changed up their system due to the negativity from Amy Schumer, and now YouTube is considering removing or modifying the dislike button due to similar reasons.

Brie is trying to turn it into "a bigoted attack on women" all forgetting no one has had issues with numerous female lead roles such as Wonder Woman, Ripley in "Alien" series, or Conner in "Terminator" series. But Brie expects to rattle off such bigoted statements, against the largest segment of the fan base, and have zero consequences for it, not only Brie, but her corporate handlers as well.

As for the Rotten Tomatoes, yea, it is "trolling" when the interest percent is not quite what you want. She said some bigoted statements, alienating a lot of the demographic, thus they have stated they do not have an interest in watching the movie, but hey, that is "trolling" to them.

As opposed to "woman-children?" How does this work?
