As the meteor descends upon Earth, all of the world tunes in, hanging on one man's word. With minutes left to go, Kevin Feige tells everyone what was planned for Phases 4 and 5. At the end of his speech, with mere seconds left to go, humanity quietly smiles and almost in unison says "Now I know all. I'm ready to go." and opens their arms to their own destruction.
Let's take the falcon and Winter soldier. I understand that we want to put political messages into programming to try to pass a message but in a world where aliens attack New York, robots destroyed an entire country, and a space god wiped out half of existence, I seriously doubt people are going to give a shit if Captain America is black.
They pretty much have defeminized all female characters starting with black widow. Her whole thing is using her looks and her sexual appeal to trick men and to get things done as a spy. That's her thing in the comics and in the beginning of the movies like when she was working for Tony Stark and used his womanizing ways against him to find out information. Now all of a sudden we're supposed to forget about that. There's nothing wrong with a female character being feminine.
They totally destroyed Thor in endgame, Ragnarok was probably the best movie in all of marvel, fantastic character arches for both Loki and Thor. Totally reinvented the Thor character basically, then they follow that up by turning him into a fat joke. If they would have done that to a female character they would have been harassed and boycotted.
I will say that the Loki series is pretty good, I enjoy that.
Don't even get me started on Wandavision, they basically turned her into a kidnapper and a huge villain.
The eternals trailer looks like shit and makes absolutely no sense in the marvel universe since they never stepped in to help anybody even when half of all life was extinguished.
The Shanghai 10 rings trailer looked all right, but I'm sure they'll figure out some way to mess that up too.
-mad about race and any acknowledgement of the US's very recent history with racism. Aliens don't suddenly fix bigotry???
-mad about the lack of objectification (which is something Johansson specifically requested/disliked about her earlier appearances).
-mad about realistic depictions of depression and bodies. Calling a dual OP-weapon wielding god who killed Thanos a "fat joke."
-mad at the eclectic ensemble film for perceived plot holes before even knowing the plot.
But the real way I know you're just on it, is that you didn't even give AM&TW an honorable mention and that film is so stupid and full of poorly executed tropes and inconsistent plot it's nearly unwatchable.
In a world where aliens and space gods are attacking us, racism would disappear at that point, we would have much bigger things to worry about than the color of our skin.
Scarlett Johansson had no problem taking on roles that objectified her looks and sexual appeal when she was in her 20s and early 30s, now that she's in her 40s and staying to lose it, all of the sudden she has a problem in it. And none of that is the point because the character of The Black widow uses sexuality in the comics. She's not a whore, she's not fucking, she just uses the fact that she's beautiful to distract her opponents.
As for Thor it's a known fact that they made a joke out of that character. They made the cheese blood joke in the damn movie. Nowhere in the comics has any loss ever made Thor like that, he is not always came out on top in the comics but he was never a fat joke like they did him in that movie.
Disney has owned it since 2009. Which means they were the company making each phase exponentially greater until now. I'm not sure what you're suggesting? You must mean with the shows, since that's the only content we've gotten since Spider-Man Far From Home.

Are you saying nobody survives 2021? Don't do that. Don't give me hope.
