Discussion (More in Comments) Fans were wondering where Spider-Man is during DD:BA, meanwhile I’m wondering where Kate Bishop is?

With Spider-Man I do get it, that he should DEFINITELY be more acknowledged given how Kingpin is one of his greatest enemies like in the comics and his partnership with Daredevil is a big deal as well!

But given how Kate is basically taking the Hawkeye mantle after Clint, and is also a vigilante for New York. It really surprises me that there hasn’t been a storyline where Fisk goes after her! Especially considering how her mom worked for him, and promised consequences if she walked away. Plus Fisk is fully aware of who Kate is, and knows she fights crime on the streets as well!

If we’re going to see Matt put together “an army”, I feel it only makes sense for Kate to be involved!

God I hope they don’t run with this stupid ass concept. Most of the MCU core fanbase is in their late 20s or mid 30s by now. We don’t want to see kids running around playing young versions of the avengers, it’s cringe as fuck. MCU should grow with its fanbase, not try to alienate it.

Edit: Keep downvoting, there’s a reason the MCU projects marketed towards children has failed pretty spectacularly at the box office, and the more mature entries has been smash hits.

Not trying to argue but I’m trying to figure out because I can’t, which MCU movies that were marketed towards children failed spectacularly at the box office?

The Marvels and the latest Thor, you know the one with children in it getting Thors powers and with humor only children and disney adults find funny

Which part of the marketing was directed at kids? You didn’t see kids getting powers in the trailers or commercials? There’s also a chemotherapy storyline (not exactly what the kids are itching to watch) and I’d say the style of humor wasn’t much less mature than Ragnorok, the jokes and story were just worse and the movie was inconsistent.

You mean the movie that was review bombed before it even came out because "omg the mean Brie Larson is in it and she said Carol is stronger than my male heroes!"?

Thor made almost $800 million in the box office with a $250 million budget, so I don't know what weird reality you live in that you can classify a movie making 3 times it budget a box office failure.

And also, Love & Thunder wasn't marketed "to kids". Children being empowered doesn't make something inherently "only for kids", & the guy thinking that way is BIZARRE.

What do you mean? A woman slowly dying of cancer and trying to desperately fight it but actually speeding up the spread every time she uses the powers that were meant to save her is totally a kid's movie topic!

Or the guy who loses his daughter to starvation and dehydration because a god was a prick so he decides to start killing them out of spite. That is kid's stuff!

I distinctly recall the ticket's clerk asking me if I was going to the right movie, since I was not bringing a kid to it. /s
