And apparently they think people want to see Batgirl as an ugly butch along the lines of Rachel Maddow. Ooh oooh...get the DVRs ready!

It was awful. I kept expecting them to break out in song and dance numbers throughout the movie.

Bet this might flop in some countries

Hollywood, and specifically Disney/Marvel, have altered their film's content based upon the target country. These characters will be mis-dubbed or have alternate scenes filmed.

Some of them were cute:

“It will bomb everywhere”

Yes, but it will win a bunch of meaningless Academy awards.

Endgame was it for me. Now that they are following the Star Wars machine plan, they are going to wreck this brand as well. All these films sound imbecilic.

That’s a different character. Batwoman is not the same as Batgirl.

I collected Marvel Comics as a youth. I enjoyed much of Phases 1-3. I was disappointed in Captain Marvel, and even more disappointed in Endgame. What they did to Thor disgusted me:

The Mighty Thor became The Mighty Boor.

The God of Thunder became The God of Blunder.

Journey into Mystery became Journey into Misery.

They absolutely would never have done that to Black Panther or Captain Marvel. That was done to humiliate a white male character - period. They turned a 1500-year-old Norse God into a 30-year-old Couch Potato.

And now they will use the entire franchise to force-feed homoerotic propaganda to a paying audience.

Some on this forum have argued that Disney only left Thor a fat slob in deference to Chris Hemsworth. That is pure sophistry. They did it because what Hemsworth wanted accorded with their predetermined (warped) vision.

Did Disney defer to Mark Hamill on the final outcome of his iconic character, Luke Skywalker? Emphatically, no! He fought them, and they refused him. Because what he wanted - to stay true to his original character - did not accord with their modern (warped) vision.

Disney can go Solo without me to the box office in MCU Phase 4.

Yes. Batwoman, Kathy Kane, originated in 1956. Batgirl, Betty Kane, her niece, was introduced in 1961. Barbara Gordon, the daughter of James Gordon, became the more famous Batgirl in 1967.

Significantly, the first Batwoman and Batgirl, the Kanes, were intended as romantic interests for Batman and Robin.

I collected long ago. I owned more Detective and Batman than any other title.

Now we have more and more of these vintage characters being perverted to promote a depraved lifestyle to audiences.

They can keep them. I am out.

That punk who plays Spider-Man wants Peter Parker to be bi or gay. I have heard a rumor that they’re going to make Peter bi in the comics. I hope that’s a joke, because they will destroy an icon. Not that they care.

>>“The Eternals will feature Marvel’s first openly gay character. He’s married and has a family and it’s part of who he is.”

If it’s part of “who he is”, why wasn’t the comic book written that way decades ago?

Endgame had a sort of valedictory feel to it. MCU is over for me.
