He played a decent Steve Rogers, and they just wasted all that potential. I understand he wanted out because maintaining that physique is difficult and miserable. Still.

Chris Evans as Galactus, no doubt. Or maybe Cyclops? Could be anyone at this point

Rewatched a bunch of MCU slop recently. The Captain America movies are some of my favorites, but Disney killed this shit so quick after Endgame I really don't even know if I'll ever check out Brave New World. And I like The Falcon but...a full movie? The troubled production does not inspire confidence either. Along with that, the two newest movies I saw (MoM and Quantumania) were bad and terrible.
I think Fantastic Four is the last big name hero movie they can try outside of Avengers stuff to play it safe. Unless they actually take some risks (like Iron Man was at the time) with a R-rated Punisher or something. But expecting Disney to take risks is a pipe dream.

Please don't give Disney any ideas about fucking up the Punisher.
Tangentially, I just found out Steve Lightfoot, the Punisher showrunner for Netflix, is going to be showrunning a Spider-Man Noir show starring Nicholas Cage and I had almost forgotten what it feels like to be excited for a capeshit adaptation.

Plenty of people who go into film and games and comics and animation are already (justifiably) jaded and demoralized because the only “real career” they have going forward is doing second unit work on franchise reboot/soft reboot/prequel/sidequel/reimagining/etc. slop for good. More and more, original ideas and properties can't get a space and chance to thrive. So, we get bastardized versions of previous works, IPs dragged out with newer, blander installments, designed by committee, with zero heart or soul to them.
Every entertainment industry is being aggressively shaped into an increasingly restrictive and risk-averse production pipeline and studio system. I could be posting this into almost any other thread in Multimedia, or Games.

It appears that Sony is finally killing their attempt at a Spider-Man spin-off universe and will focus more on helping with the MCU Spider-Man plans.
Only took them years of failures and probably a financial loss of close to a billion dollars.

Considering Deadpool, maybe Disney should kill off their attempt at the MCU and focus more on with the Foxverse plans

Not surprising considering that outside of the Venom films, they've all been colossal failures, and even the Venom films have had diminishing returns.

Foreseeable failures too since they don't have the one character that matters.

Oh yeah, that Kraven movie is to be released tomorrow. Its competition includes a Pixar sequel and a LOTR anime this week and then a Disney "live action" prequel and a video game adaptation sequel next week. Will the box office be less than Madame Web and Joker 2 combined?

Ironically Disney did take risks. Too bad they did it with She hulk, and Agatha all along, and gave it to mediocre to shit writers. Taking risks is fine so long as the people taking risk have some sort of talent.

Agatha was better than expected, but nowhere near as good as Wandavision. The only parts of She Hulk I enjoyed were the Wong and Daredevil episodes.

I hated all of it, but I really hated the bit with Daredevil. She caused how much fucking damage? She almost killed him multiple times, and instead of reacting like a human being and getting the fuck away from her, he screws her.
She's a lawyer, and gave a bit speech on how in control of her actions she is, and then does all of that. What a dizzy bitch.

Sony confirmed to be way more retarded than people initially thought

I swear to God, every one of Sony's divisions is seeing the other divisions being retarded, and is going "Hold my Beer" and one upping it. How that company survives baffles me.
Considering the state of most Superhero media post-Endgame, it probably wouldn't've made too much of a difference quality wise - if anything we might've gotten sick of Holland-man faster unless Sony played into the whole "Variant Spooderman" mess/used Miles Morales to cash in on people liking Spiderverse, but actually having Spidey would've probably helped make them a few bucks on some of these trashfires.

Like the dumbest shit with Sony is how out of touch they are.
The Venom movies made money because Venom is a popular comic book character in his own right and his name alone carries it. Helped by Tom Hardy being a well liked actor made it work too, even if the movies are not good.
The other Sony movies had characters who were unpopular be the leading star. Morbius and Madame Web could be fine characters in a Spider-Man movie, but neither of them could carry their own movie. It doesn't help that while comic/character popularity does not necessarily determine quality (as during the MCU's heyday, a lot of niche/unpopular characters had become successful), but it really comes down to making good movies.
None of Sony's Villain movies were good because they were nonsensical, had poor acting, felt like desperate cashgrabs from the 2000s, and most importantly had no real vision outside of maybe the Venom trilogy. That's not mentioning how none of the so called villains are actually villainous, but are just superheroes but slightly edgy.
Its even worse with how Superhero movies now are successful based on the actual quality than just the brand given the MCU lost the goodwill it had with audiences due to a few bad movies and being reliant on TV shows.
