Disney and Marvel should’ve been slam dunks. They started off right with Marvel but they seem to have an open hostility against the pre Disney comic books and then you buy the properties to appeal to boys and turn them into girl properties. Star Wars should’ve been easy. Just don’t crap on the OT characters and you can still build up your new ones. Also, don’t piss off the EU fans who were loyal when there was nothing coming out with Star Wars
Marvel got off to a good start because they were a different production company.
All of the Phase One movies were green-lit and the projects were well underway.
Later Disney put their staff in to replace Marvel Studios staff as they finished projects.
We can see how that turned out.
When I rewatch the Phase One movies I always have to remember that because they do feel very different in tone and story then the later movies.
This happens quite a bit actually not even just with movies but in the games industry as well. Bioware being the biggest example off the top of my head.
That makes perfect sense then.

This is it. This is all there is. They don't like pre-Disney comic books because they appeal to boys.
I mean, look at the shit Disney and Pixar produce over the last few years. It's so girl-centric it isn't even funny anymore.
They fucking bought Marvel and Star Wars to broaden their appeal to boys and now they have less appeal to boys than ever before.
