She had a contract. Disney knew how her contract was incentivized; this all happened with Christopher Nolan with Tenet on HBOMax, and HBO did the right thing. So, you can have little sympathy for a rich person, I get that. There is no real argument that Disney has, and cutting ties with her completely is going to be a major backfire. Disney is going to lose. Either she will get a gigantic public apology, and a bunch of hush money, and this all goes away, or they have fucked themselves and we have seen the beginning of the end for the Feige MCU. I am not really hyping this. I believe it is already happening. I agree with the sentiment. Disney is doing unethical stuff lately, here's another example: Alan Dean Foster, a seasoned sci-fi/fantasy author, had issues with Disney too. Foster is the ghostwriter behind the first "Star Wars" novel from 1976, even though George Lucas was officially credited. When George Lucas sold the rights to his franchise to Disney, the company unilaterally decided to stop paying A.D. Foster his Royalties. This crazy thing had been going for a few years, until Foster decided to complain publically about the matter in 2020, he wrote a heartfelt letter to Disney starting with these words: "Dear Mickey," #DisneyMustPay Alan Dean Foster (SWAA, Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America) For the record, the issue has been settled in May 2021: Disney and Star Wars author Alan Dean Foster appear to settle royalty dispute (winteriscoming.net)

Sith Lord Mickey owns the Senate.

She makes 616 & 1610 Miles Morales seem like an interesting character by comparison which is no small feat, and shoehorning her into the BP sequel is facepalm worthy like the reason behind T'challa's and Storm's marriage.

Thank god he didn't sell his soul to a demon. Or his marriage. Amen. Only the revelation that his first true love had a secret affair, and conceived children with his arch nemesis could match or exceed such a storyline in awfulness.

I actually skipped the Sins Past arc because of that. Edit: also added squick factor in that she was probably a minor at the time and he was old enough to be her father.

A lot of this new stuff is gping to sink.
The Inhumans was a failure, not sure how they expect the Eternals to do better. They are also oversaturating.
To me, they need to slow down. Which means they'll double down. Idiots.

I wish i skipped out on that arc. Hell i wish i skipped out on most of Quesada's and Slott's butchering of Spider-Man's characters. The affair retcon is a prime example of character assassination, and was a terrible idea all around. On top of the age discrepancy there's the timeframe inconsistencies, and the ludicrous storyline involving the children they conceived. If i didn't know any better i would have thought that Quesada was an aggrieved MJ shipper, but OMD happened.

Which means they'll double down. Idiots. Agreed. There's NO WAY they can top phase 3. Foolish that they are gonna try. Between this stuff & the dogshit DC/Sony is putting out, the Superhero Genre will be on life support by next summer. Mark my words

JMS wrote Sins Past but Quesada as editor in chief greenlit that travesty while gifting us OMD. Future editors and writers will have to deal with the fallout of his continued mismanagement for decades to come.

Brad Allan who worked on Jackie Chan's stunt team choreographed the fights and it shows. Unfortunately Mr. Allan passed away recently.

Shhhhh.... this forum is averse to the REALITY that almost all art is informed by the politics of the day and artificially separating the two to make a safe space is ludicrous. And... I'll go back to observing other things Seems to me that when people praise something for not being 'too political', what they're actually praising is that it's not too preachy or manipulative in how it touches political matters. For example, Black Widow depicting immigration and trafficking makes perfect sense within the context of the story, so that just feels like a natural part of the narrative, whereas its messages about female vs male power are so braindead and divorced from reality or sense that they go in the 'dumb superhero/villain comic book logic' box that you just have to shrug and try not to think about because it clearly has nothing to do with anything but it sure sounds dramatic. The writers had more of a brainfart than an agenda. In comparison, things like Falcon and the Winter Soldier's various attempts to play on race and terrorism and the evil white soldier boy are so obviously intended to push certain views on the audience, and so pathetically little thought has been put into making them work as logical chains of events within the setting, that they just make you feel insulted that the writers thought that such a lame effort would be enough to properly entertain you, let alone impress you with their half-assed stance on things they clearly didn't know enough about to write a story around. It's one thing to show something that people vehemently disagree about in real life from a simple human perspective and then letting the audience make up their own minds about what to think of it, and quite another to build up a weird, bent and twisted version of humanity that doesn't behave how it would in real life but better fits with the pattern you're hoping to imprint on people's brains with your dumb movie, and then expect them to happily keep paying you for trying to brainwash them. Incompetently.

Knowing how Disney operates Ditko's estate probably isn't getting a fair share or any of the films' revenues.
