looks ok

the 100th time they have tired this
better work this time.

Marvel also seems to have toned down the DEI. They finally figured out the profit losses are worth more than the ESG corporate virtue signaling tax breaks.

Surprise! A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Reboot With Sarah Michelle Gellar Might Actually Happen

Wont make their movies better. Even if you fill them with 40-50 years old white men with a woman making them sandwich in the kitchen it wont make the movies better unless you spend $$$ to hire talented sscreen writers and directors. As long as they target PG-13 and G their movies will **** and they'll continue to do that since they are a big publicly traded company. <---- this is the real problem

Tbf I still see a ton of DEI in there

Pascal - too old Chilean brother of a trans
Kirby - too old, ugly
Ebon - hyphenated last name, likely childhood trauma
Quinn - gay

Hauser - obese
Lyonne - drug addict
Garner - married to presumably bad musician
Niles - black
Malkovich - maniac

Ironically, genuine DEI would actually boost profits. Look at the money Netflix made with Squid Game for example, they just allowed someone from another culture to tell their story, not some stupid Bennetton shit that American liberals love.

The thing with DEI in entertainment is it's not really DEI. It's more capitalism than DEI. Those billionaires don't give a damn about DEI. They are big publicly traded companies. They want to make the least expensive movies that will appeal to the largest audience. So they cheapen out on screen writers, directors and special effects. They'll include a black guy there and a woman there. They will pretty much never go over PG-13. This is basically capitalism 101. As long as people pay for bad movies bad movies will keep being made. If it's better marketing to not have women anf black guys they'll stop including them in their movies but make no mistake those movies will still suck.

What made movies of the past better was not the white muscular men or the silent beautiful white and blond love interest. Those were inconsequential and the product of a time period. What made them better was simply better scripts, better directions and better more grounded to earth special effects. It always make me laugh to see kids complaining about wokeness in movies and then gloating over Terminator 2. It's one of the wokest movie ever made in the history of cinema. But it had a solid script and one of the best director of all time and grounded to earth special effects.
