It really feels like Disney is driving their car in reverse and losing a race they should easily be winning. They could've just not made Indiana Jones 5 or not write Indy to be a grumpy old loser so they could trojan horse in some female protag no one cared about. Captain Marvel was a boring stoic character in a C-minus MCU movie and the other two you'd have to have watched two different Disney+ shows to know who they were.

Edit/Also movies having these $200-300 million dollar budgets is insane.

Completely agree on Indy. Kathleen Kennedy insists on these self inserts that no one asked for or wants. Terrible character and once again they take a legacy character and make them miserable to clear the way for their new garbage characters.

Luke
Han
Indiana Jones.

I love Harrison Ford, but he’s too old to play Indy… they should have switched actors every few movies like James Bond.

Marvel fell off hard after Endgame… they haven’t had any real direction or cohesive plan since. Almost all the best characters are either retired, dead, or partially owned by other companies and they’re taking too long with the characters people really want (F4, Dr Doom, X-men, Blade).

Unrelated, but Disney messed up Star Wars in all kinds of ways.
Bringing Palpatine back defeats the point of Anakin redeeming himself and becoming the chosen one.
Rian Johnson turned Luke into a coward who tried to off his own nephew over a bad dream, which was completely out of character for him.
There was no plan for these movies.
All the OG heroes had their hard fought victories undone between trilogies…
Just so all of that could be given away to Kathleen Kennedy’s self-insert who didn’t earn it.

Edit: Luke, Han, and Leia never got to share ONE scene together in the sequel trilogy. Let that sink in.

the marvels failing only seems to be shocking marvel higher ups. captain marvels legacy isnt popular sans ms marvel. and even that star faded. like ive been saying the first movie did well due to the endgame stimulus, and without it the characters had nothing to stand on
