It's more general than the MCU, it's how every franchise is being treated by Disney and other companies.
Star Wars? Just... no.
Ghostblusters? FemReboot was... a thing. It's now being ignored by an actual sequel.
Westworld and various other movie adaptations, LOTR/GoT/WoT and any other book adaptations, cartoon remakes like He-Man/TMNT/Scoobie-Doo, The Boys/MCU/other comic stuff, the list goes on as far as there are franchises to milk.
And even things like Cobra Kai/The Karate Kid are infested with woke shit, some just sneak by because of other things.
Re: Cobra Kai - see the scene where the cup is "forgotten" about so the girl kicks the boy in the crotch multiple times for comedy. Because trauma induced sterility is such a laughing matter.

Tell me you haven't actually watched Cobra Kai without telling me you haven't watched Cobra Kai.
Cobra Kai literally integrates "Woke" culture as a contrast to the 80s and the current atmosphere. It's acknowledged to be part of high school culture as it is in real life, and most of the kids make fun of it or end up being the brunt of a Johnny tongue lashing about it. It's well done.
Endgame crowned a black woman as queen of Asgard. How's that for culturally-appropriating Norse mythology?
I just loled and stopped watching.
After that, the ''Thor Odinson ( litterally ''Thor, son of Odin'' ) is just a title, here is Nathalie Portman as Thor'' was just them smearing the corpse with clown make-up.
Or will they just go the Last Jedi route of lazily retconning everything out in the first five minutes to push the cinematic equivalent of a two hour Twitter tirade (probably.)
Hey don’t you remember that last Jedi was brilliant subversion. And that scene at the casino. I mean it’s not like we have ever heard about haves and have nots
There's too much retardedness in TLJ to ever make a concise post about it but the casino stuff was just braindead on so many levels.
Finn and Rose get arrested for a parking violation. Literally a plot taken from Spaceballs.
They don't actually find the person they were looking for. A lot of fans briefly hoped it was going to be Lando, nope, don't even see who it was meant to be they just get BDT instead who is such an expert hacker he can... hotwire doors with shiny coins.
Free the horse aliens! Don't free the children...
The horse aliens were likely very quickly caught after because of spaceship going after them.
Rose's Twitter tier rant about slaves and war profiteering. Both of which were quickly shot down by the aforementioned point 3 where slaves were shown to not really matter because they did fuck all for the slave children except given them a shiny ring with the symbol of the Rebellion that would most likely get said child beaten just for having contraband in the first place let alone something with the symbol of Galen on it, and then BDT pointing out the war profiteers were selling to both sides anyway!
Part of me wishes I walked out that movie, then again maybe lasting 'til the end was needed so I would never bother to go see TROS and other shit Disney takes in the MCU that followed.
It's one of those films I really have to avoid talking/posting about because it will always end up with me typing up a nerd rant about something that happened in the film and despite it being a massive fucking wall of text in the end it still won't be anywhere near a significant amount of the film content I've brought up. There's that much wrong with the entire film.
but the casino stuff was just braindead on so many levels.
IMO the casino stuff failed on a single level : it was utherless useless to the plot in all ways possible.
Remove the entire arc, and the plot to TLJ doesn't change at all. Heck, you can entirely remove Finn and the chinese girl from the movie, and the plot doesn't change at all.
Every other failure of the casino arc is rooted in this poor writing.
it's a black man who undeservedly took a white man's place and assumed his identity
It's even better than that as per the Netflix show "Falcon and the Winter Soldier". Sam/Falcon initially doesn't take the shield, he donates it to a museum and then the US Government take the shield and give it to John Walker/US Agent. After a lot of shit goes down Falcon takes up the mantle at the end but a lot of the problems that occur would have actually be avoided if Sam had just manned up and took the fucking job like Steve asked him to.
Someone could possibly make this into an allegory for a black man running out on his responsibilities only to come back later to a mountain of shit on fire but then I'm far too cynical to do it myself these days and would rather just cut straight to the point and state how badly the writers made Falcon because the meme fits that fucking much.
Now, isn't that the man that proved to be a good guy but 'muh ebil wyte peepol' said he was bad and had to be stopped? I could swear I heard it on a review that they said the supposed bad guy was just a nationalist interested in justice.
Disney's problem isn't only that they were getting more woke injecting gender politics, leftist politics etc but that they hired the Russo brothers for Endgame. They are very competent and great directors so when they got hired to make a finale for ALL the phases leading to this movie, they did it.
Which meant all marvel fans had a great stopping off point we could be happy about leaving the universe at and we could actually pull off what cap did in Endgame.
Steve Rogers is an honorable character, someone to look up to.
Chris Evans, however...
Best summary of MCU phase 4 I’ve ever read.

"Subverting expectations" like when I used to link my friends to Goatse.

Yea I remember almost laughing because they cared more about the horse aliens. Such a ham fisted moment

Stop watching capeshit
The actual right answer.
Considering it's a black man who undeservedly took a white man's place and assumed his identity, this feels about right.
It's even better than that as per the Netflix show "Falcon and the Winter Soldier". Sam/Falcon initially doesn't take the shield, he donates it to a museum and then the US Government take the shield and give it to John Walker/US Agent. After a lot of shit goes down Falcon takes up the mantle at the end but a lot of the problems that occur would have actually be avoided if Sam had just manned up and took the fucking job like Steve asked him to.

Movie comes out in 2024.
This is predictive programming.
Wouldn't be surprised if an AI wrote the script, too. This dystopia sucks.
Isn't he black now
