:snoop: This mindset and narrative that Black women don't read comics or support comic book movies/shows/media has to die. We have too many real-life examples of Black women cosplayers, comic book ventures and nerd communities. And this is the real kicker, despite all of this, people refuse to market to this group. So. much. untapped. money. It's like Rihanna and makeup all over again. People just ignore Black women, and then one person will come along one day and market to them, and they'll be an instant billionaire because they're literally at comic con conventions and in online communities spending their money on whatever merchandise is available. I swear to god if I ever win some money, I'm investing in products catering to this community because they are starving for products. I'm talking T-shirts, cups, and action figures.

They don’t sell, Black Panther 2 merch crashed and that was a black women lead movie and the action figures didn’t move and neither did the other merch. Boys and men consume that type of stuff at a higher rate than women. The same thing happened with Star Wars with Rey.

Funny you mention this because in that BP2 action figure run they sprinkled in BP1 T'Challa figures:russ:

Deep down they knew the truth:mjlol:

After Endgame they should've said they were going to take a break to make sure they have the story right. Fans would've understood
That's exactly what they did tho:russ:

After Endgame (2019) they said they were taking at least a year off. There wasn't another MCU project till 2021

Disney is creatively bankrupt. They wanted to push Disney+ at all costs and figured Feige would be able to put out twice as much content and make sense of it all.

This was a big talking point with toy manufacturers/merch providers during the lead up to bp2. T’Challa apparently moved major units and was even #1 in Halloween costumes in back to back years, so there was apprehension in sidelining him.

But Disney execs wanted to treat him like he was interchangeable (“it’s just a mantle”) while marketing the entire movie around the undertones of his “death” to maximize profits.

Will be interesting what the success of Shuri, Riri, Okoye etc will look like moving forward now that they’re left to their own devices.
