Guessing they either change the title or the rumor of Majors being out is bunk. The rumor of The Beyonder being the villain of Secret Wars but actually a Kang variant was already dumb as fuck so hopefully they scrap that

Loki running everything is better, they need to get Doom done correctly. I'm still waiting for a decent Mr sinister

They can't apparently get a lot of characters right. I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple failure's.

Apocalypse
Ultron
Taskmaster
Doom
Galactus

Ultron wasn't horrible as a movie villain. Spader helped. In the comics most of his plans are ass and they all revolve around his Oedipus complex with Jan.

Ultron was horrible the first time i seen it, but it helped flesh out the future MCU plans and it became "better" if viewed after the fact.

Nolte: Disney Report Warns Investors Social Goals Take Priority over Profits

The key takeaway from Disney's SEC report is that the company is warning investors that its social goals are more important than profits.
www.breitbart.com www.breitbart.com
“There is in such things a statement of the various ‘Risk factors’ the company may encounter,” explains That Park Place, “all in the obligatory legal way to avoid people later saying ‘You never warned us about this!!’”


In other words, in this annual report, Disney must warn stockholders and potential stockholders of the risks these investors are accepting if they hold or choose to purchase Disney’s ailing stock. Here’s a key takeaway hidden within a pile of Disney’s CorporateSpeak [emphasis mine]:


We face risks relating to misalignment with public and consumer tastes and preferences for entertainment, travel and consumer products, which impact demand for our entertainment offerings and products and the profitability of any of our businesses. Our businesses create entertainment, travel and consumer products whose success depends substantially on consumer tastes and preferences that change in often unpredictable ways. The success of our businesses depends on our ability to consistently create compelling content, which may be distributed, among other ways, through broadcast, cable, theaters, internet or mobile technology, and used in theme park attractions, hotels and other resort facilities and travel experiences and consumer products. Such distribution must meet the changing preferences of the broad consumer market and respond to competition from an expanding array of choices facilitated by technological developments in the delivery of content. The success of our theme parks, resorts, cruise ships and experiences, as well as our theatrical releases, depends on demand for public or out-of-home entertainment experiences. Demand for certain out-of-home entertainment experiences, such as theater-going to watch movies, has not returned to pre-pandemic levels. In addition, many of our businesses increasingly depend on acceptance of our offerings and products by consumers outside the U.S. The success of our businesses therefore depends on our ability to successfully predict and adapt to changing consumer tastes and preferences outside as well as inside the U.S. Moreover, we must often invest substantial amounts in content production and acquisition, acquisition of sports rights, launch of new sports-related studio programming, theme park attractions, cruise ships or hotels and other facilities or customer facing platforms before we know the extent to which these products will earn consumer acceptance, and these products may be introduced into a significantly different market or economic or social climate from the one we anticipated at the time of the investment decisions. Generally, our revenues and profitability are adversely impacted when our entertainment offerings and products, as well as our methods to make our offerings and products available to consumers, do not achieve sufficient consumer acceptance. Further, consumers’ perceptions of our position on matters of public interest, including our efforts to achieve certain of our environmental and social goals, often differ widely and present risks to our reputation and brands.

Read the above-bolded part again. Then read what’s below, where Disney admits there’s a massive price to pay for alienating more than half the country with its promotion (towards small children) of homosexuality, transsexuality, and various adult sexual fetishes:


Consumer tastes and preferences impact, among other items, revenue from advertising sales (which are based in part on ratings for the programs in which advertisements air), affiliate fees, subscription fees, theatrical film receipts, the license of rights to other distributors, theme park admissions, hotel room charges and merchandise, food and beverage sales, sales of licensed consumer products or sales of our other consumer products and services.
Click to expand...

That is the Disney Grooming Syndicate admitting: 1) We recognize that our far-left social and political agenda has damaged our company’s reputation and profits, and 2) we have no intention of changing. You’ve been warned, suckas.


A few more takeaways from the SEC filing found by That Park Place:


The decline in domestic advertising revenue was due to a decrease of 14% from fewer impressions, reflecting lower average viewership, partially offset by an increase of 7% from higher rates.

Kind of off topic but John Wick 1-4 had a total budget less than this movie and made over 1b

Only One 2023 Movie with a Budget Over $200 Million Has Made a Profit (So Far) This Year

As "Wish" and "Napoleon" join the $200 Million Club, we examine the increasingly slippery slope of making money on very big-budget movies.
www.indiewire.com www.indiewire.com
Of all 14 titles, seven are from Disney, nine are sequels or remakes, and five are MCU or DC Comics. The notion that a film has to be expensive to compete in the marketplace is hardly new, but 2023 (aided by inflation and COVID delays) has taken this to new extremes. Of this current listing, just one has turned a profit so far this year: “Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3.”
