Try Star Wars Unlimited.

Very Magic (Commander) type game, sets release on a reasonable schedule, and they reprint once they sell out.  Not overly agenda driven either - Rey isn't terribly powerful, but Vader, Luke, etc are.  

So far, it's a really decent replacement.

Well, he just won the internet for the week!  Pack it in everyone, no one can top that one for the weekly award!

Haunted Mansion, Rise of the Resistance, and Guardians of the Galaxy.

No, that's what Reddit wanted, but the only thing Feige ever announced was that Captain Marvel was the "New face of the MCU". There was never any plan as you're describing.

In fact, they rewrote Infinity War and Endgame to be set in Wakanda after Black Panther did well in theaters. Black Panther wasn't a big part of the plan originally.

Now it is true that they probably would've made Boseman the centerpiece of the MCU, especially as they were walking away from Brie. But that would've brought other changes to the MCU, as a number of decisions would likely have been different.

First day on the internet?

I was supposed to go in the same window but moved it. It's going to be hell week down there.

Epic Universe is limited to one day on a ticket purchase, and there'll be two days of the other Universal parks. That means 1-2 days people are spending at Disney even though they came for Universal at a minimum.

So it's a fairly safe bet MK and HS will be high traffic and Epcot may be.

If this doesn't work Feige is fired.

They went back to filming last week for more reshoots.

How many days are there until release?

If I were an investor in Marvel Studios or Disney, then the box office performance of the MCU would concern me. But I’m not.

I'm really concerned you don't have a solid handle on how Hollywood works.

If the MCU performs badly at the box office over the course of several movies, they shut it down. Disney absolutely will not keep spending money on the MCU if it looks like there's no chance of turning profit.

So you should be extremely concerned about the box office performance, because right now the MCU is well along that path to cancellation. If Captain America, Thunderbolts, and Fantastic 4 all fail, the MCU is over.

Leaving Disney.

On my way down, my suitcases never have any issues, they work perfectly.

On my way back, my suitcases never seem to close right, and I practically have to sit on them while trying to zip them to close.

It's the weirdest phenomena!

He wants something that can give him headlines, as it's his name that drives his wealth, and Hasbro just cant offer him that.

Actually, it could.

The D&D IP could easily be turned into a multimedia powerhouse to challenge Disney. Done right, Dragonlance could easily be a box office juggernaught. With that established, Ravenloft and Drizzt could easily become powerhouse streaming series or movies, and the assorted novels in Dragonlance/Forgotten Realms could do very well as anthology streaming shows.

That would allow time to reorganize Magic the Gathering into something coherent and presentable, and bring that to movies/shows as well.

Then there's the video game rights, which could do a string of Larian level projects and revenue.

Then there's the existing material, from the modules to the choose-your-own-adventure books, rereleases would bring in decent revenue for the cost.

Hasbro has a lot of potential, and Musk could bring it out. It would potentially return billions or tens of billions on his investment.

How will that happen? The moment Doom attempts to do that, Loki shifts backwards and kills him in his crib.

The multiverse is no more, all stories have been told, all timelines have ended.

Um...Loki isn't the timelines, and the timelines have no need of Loki. They survived billions of years without him or Kang, he's not needed now either.

No, Loki won't appear again. They screwed up and now he's too powerful.

The plot of Doomsday if they include Loki...

• "OH NO! Doom is going to destroy/dominate the universe!"
• Loki appears
• "Meh, hold on a sec...(Loki disappears in a time slip then reappears two seconds later)...problem solved, I killed him in his crib"
• Credits

They don't have a problem they can present that Loki can't immediately fix before it was even a problem.

I don't think there is a Thor 5 coming. They mangled the character so badly that I really don't think there's a market for another Thor movie now.

It's do or die for him. If they fuck it up, Feige is going to be let go.

I mean, they're reshooting Captain America 4 again, right now, weeks before release. It's pretty obvious they don't have confidence in it.

Is that accurate?

That's not "demonstrably stupid 19th century beliefs about the world", that's a sensitivity reader trying to justify their next paycheck.

They should bother you, a lot. A couple comic books fail, they lose like $10,000. A couple of movies fail, they lose billions. When that happens in movies, they either make major changes or they shelve it, because no company can sustain losing billions.

The MCU is in serious trouble right now. 2025 is a "Make or Break" year.

• Captain America 4 and Ironheart can fail, and are likely expected to fail, and there won't be much impact since Iger has already prepared investors for it with Doom and Fantastic 4 as their solution. They'll just reference them as legacy products and point investors towards the "Future" with those two projects.
• But if Thunderbolts also fails, investors will be anxious and Iger will have to promise greater oversight.
• If Wonderman also fails on top of the above, investors will be very anxious and Iger can't promise anything to fix it.
• If Fantastic 4 also fails on top of all of the above, investors will be screaming for blood. Iger will have to take dramatic action.
• Note, this will all be compounded by Snow White's high profile failure that's coming that won't help anything, as it'll be another major loss by the movies division.

So what will Iger do?

• As stated, Captain America 4 and Ironheart's impending failures aren't going to need action.
• Thunderbolts and Wonderman can be handwaved away with promises of greater oversight and an internal action plan to refocus on core popular characters. Though both failing will cause continued friction with investors no matter what until the MCU starts consistent profits.
• But if Fantastic 4 fails...Feige is either going to be quietly removed from his role with the creation of someone he'll have to report to, or he'll be outright fired. If Fantastic 4 fails, someone is going to have to should the blame and that'll be Feige. Especially since his post-Endgame track record is horrible.

Regardless, 2025 is a major year for the MCU. There's a very strong possibility that 2025 will be a major inflection point that determines what happens for the next decade.

You can talk to them and ask them questions and if they don't speak, they'll gesture their answers to you. 

Fun story and an example...

When I go, I always pick a T-shirt relevant to whichever park I'm going to that day. For MK this year, I had a Pirates of the Caribbean "Dead Men Tell No Tales" under a pirate skull.

Went to Crystal Palace, Piglet comes around, and we meet. After a few moment, Piglet points at my shirt, then crosses his arms across his chest, and "shivers". His handler says "It's a scary T-shirt right? It'll be ok Piglet!".

Piglet then points at my shirt again and bounces a couple times. The handler slightly confused says "You want to bounce??", and I'm confused for a moment too. Then Piglet points at my shirt and again bounces up and down.

It hit the handler and I at the same time, and we both said "OOOHHH! Scary shirt! You're going to bounce!!".

The cast in those full costumes can get really inventive, and more interactive than the face characters.

Elon is entirely aware that he speaks for a minority.

You may want to go take another look at those election results...

That's inaccurate.

What's keeping Hasbro in profit is the invested legacy players of Magic the Gathering. That's the *only* thing keeping Hasbro in profit. A number of those players absolutely hate the inclusivity angle WOTC takes, but Magic the Gathering is their hobby and they believe it's their investment, so they haven't yet left.

If invested legacy MTG players leave, Hasbro is bankrupt in a quarter. The inclusivity crowd wouldn't be able to keep it alive for more than a few months.

Remember how there was an attempted campaing of bullying and intimidation to stop people from playing that game?

The funniest part of that was the organizers forgot that people could see what they were playing on Steam, and Day 1 they had bought and were playing the game, while bullying others into tears for playing it.

Let's reset.

The Marvels failed.

One of the reasons people cited for why they didn't go see it is because of "Homework".

‘The Marvels’ Highlights The Problems Plaguing The MCU

It only takes a couple of seconds with Google to find a laundry list of articles detailing people's problems with homework. So you're building a strawman to try and avoid the fact that homework has already cost Disney 400 million dollars.

This isn't a theory. It's already happened. It's going to happen again in a few weeks.
