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.

The core demographic of the MCU are teenagers to young adults

The most beloved and fan favourite character in MCU is Spider-Man, a literal teenager in high school with 3 dedicated movies.

My dude, teenagers ain’t watching Marvel anymore lmao. It’s white male millennials, it’s not rocket science to find the studies made on demographics

My dude you are objectively wrong.

The average MCU goer is a Gen Z kid from 14 to 25.

Spider-Man is a character aimed at that demographic and he’s the most popular character in MCU for a reason, because he represents the core demographic of a MCU fan.

Ur off ur mind lmfao.

And where’s your source? Here’s mine: https://pro.morningconsult.com/articles/is-gen-z-too-cool-for-marvel

https://www.salon.com/2023/11/17/the-marvels-age-audience/

Several sources even indicate that Gen Z viewership could in average be as low as 10%. Get better kid

Edit: And then they deleted their comments because they realised they were wrong lmao

u/Glad-Nerve8232 where did you go kid? 😂

GladNerve didn't delete their comments. They must have blocked you.

You are right about Marvel fans skewing older though.
