Part 12/14:
Despite the failures, Disney and Marvel continue releasing content, seemingly ignoring audience feedback. The box office is down, streaming numbers are lagging, and stock prices have tumbled. The Marvel brand, once a cultural phenomenon, is now plagued by predictable, cringeworthy, and virtue-signaling content that alienates core fans.
Similarly, attempts at “diversity” have often resulted in shallow or poorly written characters whose primary purpose is to check a box rather than contribute meaningful stories. Characters like Echo, Ms. Marvel, and She-Hulk exemplify this decline—more about representation than narrative quality.
