Excellent breakdown of all the problems with Marvel cinema at the moment:

Fairly accurate.
however on # 4 - Replacing established characters.
Apparently he doesn't read current Marvel comics. All of the 'alternate' versions of established characters are straight out of the current marvel comic universe.
The difference is tho, that all of the original characters of say, Black Panther, Cap, Hawkeye, Iron man, Spiderman - for example - still exist in the comic universe, alongside the new versions. That's not the case in the cinematic universe.
Back in the day, if an actor ceased playing a character, the role was just taken up by a new actor.
James Bond being the classic example.
And over in Watcha... we have been discussing 40's series like Perry Mason, the lone wolf and the saint where the character was important not the specific actor.
I just realized, on the current tendency, if there is another James Bond movie, Bond will inevitably be a female.
We are almost there now.
Even tho the audience for these franchise movies is still enough for them to make a profit, the audience is dropping fast.
If you alienate the fan audience - from comic books and the original movie versions - you get off to a bad start.
But they seem to have not been able to learn from that.
It's hard to image anything with less in common with the original premise than the She-Hulk TV show.
But what is really embarrassing is all the male actors who have no shame apparently, and are prepared to take the money and not run, when they acquiesce in the downgrading of the characters they portray.
Mark Ruffalo in the SheHulk TV show being the worst example.
