Because normies are thick as shit and "multiple realities" would confuse them without a massive run up like the MCU has done. First they bring up the idea of a multiverse in Spider-Man Far From Home, then they drop ideas about it in other projects before finally, actually bringing it to life, and then other projects also start using it.
Star Wars is a 40+ year old franchise that would have thousands of years of stories in the EU to consider that would very likely confuse people with attention spans so short they don't realise when something is contradictory. Time travel was only just introduced to the franchise because Filoni bitched about his waifu again and causes enough problems that then bringing in a canon alternate reality of sorts would just be a massive headache for Disney who only ever care about money.
Cavill is redpilling a few since the showrunners are flinging all sorts of shit at the walls and hoping something, anything sticks. The DC/Superman issue is likely also far more incendiary than many realise given Cavill's manager is The Rock's ex wife and mother of his child. The cameo in Black Adam was not for Cavill's sake.
Wheel of Time was never going to work simply due to the fact only 3 years occur across the 14 books. That's far too much material for even the somewhat common standard of 7 seasons many shows go for unless it's a CW show that just doesn't die.
I always thought that it was a dumb move to totally get rid of the EU
Yes. More so that of the larger complaints regarding the EU the DT then went ahead and copied those those like Palpatine clones.
I've heard that if Disney had done that knowing what we know now about how crappy the sequels were it would've made them look very bad to have an adaptation for something like New Jedi Order showing a Luke that fans wanted or the Thrawn Trilogy showing Mara Jade and the rest of them. Maybe even Darth Bane or Revan.
It doesn't matter what Disney, or any modern entertainment company knows, they simply want money and will vivisect decades old franchises however they see fit. Bane had already been fucked up by Disney as the 'Force Dyad' bullshit from the sequels is now the founding reason for 'The Rule of Two' where the Sith were trying to create their own Dyad. Revan is going to get fucked over in the KotoR remake. Mara Jade wouldn't fly in modern woke entertainment being both a redhead and existing as a servant to Palpatine, [an old hwite male].
Keep in mind for both Fallen Order and the Kenobi series the lead was a stronk black wamman, mostly because Kenobi literally lifted the entire plot from FO down to the scene invoking breaking the underwater window to escape the Inquisitor HQ, because modern day Star Wars has no creative talent.
TFA is ANH remade. Poorly.
TLJ is Empire. Also poorly.
TROS is RotJ. Made so badly it's possibly killed the future of the franchise hence all future projects being set in the past.
Do you think that would've made Disney look bad?
That ship sailed years ago, actual fans are just now finally realising after seeing the full picture along with various other franchises crashing in the same way and berating fans in the process. Much like with The Witcher there aren't as many Star Wars shills now so fans are "finding their voice" so to speak because they aren't getting astroturfed to the same level when things first released.
"When I first started writing Dawn of Justice, Marvel was already starting Phase 2. Everyone said I was daft to start a cinematic universe with an ensemble movie, but I wrote one all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I wrote Suicide Squad. That sank into the swamp. So I wrote Justice League. That changed directors, got reshot, then sank into the swamp. But this fourth reboot..."
That's the plot to GOTG 2.
Yondu kidnapped Peter as a child, as well as a lot of other children, to bring him back to his alien dad. Problem is said alien dad was looking for an entity similar enough to him he could take over the galaxy and after finding none decided to sprog his own into existence by breeding with countless females of countless races. He tasks Yondu to bring the children to him however none of them work and he literally burns through them to learn this.
Yondu has a heel face turn and doesn't take Peter to his alien dad and raises the young human himself. Yondu's actions are later found out by his colleagues and they kick him out their club because pirates many of them may be but they do not traffic children.
Yondu ends up sacrificing himself so that Peter may live and gets a post mortem full flag funeral that he had previously been told he wouldn't get as he was getting kicked out the earlier mentioned club.
So his hand in all the previous child trafficking and resulting deaths gets ignored because he gives up his own life for the last child of the bunch that he'd already decided not to hand over.
Both of those have happened in various ways.
Val-Zod, yes that Zod, is a black Kryptonian and not only the Superman of Earth 3 or something but also PoTUS, despite the inherent flaw the presence of melanin causes a being that gains power from absorbing solar radiation.
More recently Clark's son got the ol' rainbow special and came out as bi which of course meant he hooked up with an effeminate man who John would snap in two during sex.
Ah yes a story with super powers that are automatically easier to simply draw in cartoon form than attempt to recreate in a live action medium.
Anime will always work better for supernatural abilities because they don't have to adhere to physics or reality and above all else don't require character actors to look at pre production cgi markers.
They also don't require stunt doubles so you don't end up killing someone like happened with Deadpool 2.
That's what happens when your setting is alternate universe Germany and your cast is entirely from Japan.
Both AoT and FMA have characters with either Caucasian or Asian traits for reasons of plot. Ed and Al's father is part of a golden eyed tribe that no longer exists because Hoenheim is that fucking old. Mikasa is half Asian and the only character with any Asian heritage in the entire story until like 2/3rds of the way through the whole thing and no live action adaptation would ever last that long. Meaning she's the only one that should have been vaguely Japanese in the first place.
In addition to this many of AoT's characters have Germanic names like Jaeger, Braun, and Reiss and similarly FMA has characters like King Bradley whose military title is Fuhrer. Do note that 'King` is his actual name and not any indication of social position.
The whole thing was dumb.
Holy fucking shit they're doing the psychic rape baby story!
Mar'Vell was the original Captain Marvel in Marvel comics, [although "Shazam" is still who I think of when using the moniker], until he died of cancer.
No, really.
Anyway, Carol Danvers is a half human, half Kree hybrid with various powers, blah, blah, blah, etc.
In one of the early Avengers comics there is an event that is sort of like what this movie is hinting at.
When she visited Scarlet Witch in New Jersey, Carol fell unexpectedly ill. She was rushed to a local hospital, where it was discovered, she was three months pregnant. She left the team following the bizarre unwanted pregnancy, which progressed rapidly over the subsequent days, right before she was about to give birth, she revealed her secret identity to the Avengers.
The pregnancy was caused by "Marcus", who claimed to be the son of Immortus. Marcus manipulated Carol into believing that she loved him and took her to his home in Limbo; however, Marcus' plot backfired when he discovered that he aged at an accelerated rate in Limbo. Carol learned how to use Immortus' time-traveling technology and returned to her time. Upon her return, she angrily confronted the Avengers, expressing her resentment towards them for falling for Marcus' lies and manipulation of her, allowing him to effectively kidnap her for future defilement at his hands
tl;dr an alien impregnated her so she would then give birth to him so that he could come to Earth and take her to his own dimension.
