I disagree with Perlmutter's reasoning though, although he happens to be right in this case. If these ladies had Classic Marvel Way physiques i.e. extremely muscled, Olympian bodies with nice titties in painted spandex, that would attract the adult male otaku demographic, which is the primary demo for these kinds of movies. But because their costume designs and bodies are blandly boring, then he is right that kids wouldn't buy toys.
I mean high quality McFarlane-tier statues that can be charged at $50+ per unit.
They're already doing that quality statues before Disney bought Marvel.
But not for those aforementioned MCU characters in their MCU designs. It's for their earlier comic book designs which don't help the movies at all.
Got it, Marvel and Disney completely dropped the ball on capitalizing the MCU designs.
That’s what I’ve been hearing as well. At this point it’s obvious that Disneys destroyed all interest the normies had with these franchises. The only people they have still watching in mass are the reviewers and shills, the rest are either pirating it or just don’t even care. Hell i didn’t hate the first few episodes of that last Star Wars show but I just didn’t keep watching and according to ratings that’s what most other people did.
It's always hard to tell with streaming shows. It had a decent first two episodes, but who knows if it'll keep up the pace of quality.
me and the niggas from the block, that's who. although I'm waiting for at least one more episode and I'm just pirating it. what's kinda sad and pathetic is for a lot of people, myself included this is the one thing mcu we were open to, and are giving them their last chance on. However, I pirate everything so I'm an exception (outside of a movie theater or a 4k disc I haven't paid to watch a movie or TV show since I was like 12) but people with my view on it have been burnt by every Disney project for years now, and aren't paying even if they're watching it. It's too late. If it sticks the landing maybe people will subscribe for s2 I guess.
Me! I am!
He hasn't appeared yet.
Didn’t they show a clip of the new show with him in it?
It was only in the trailer. Which didn't show too much because that is what trailers do.
Glad I didn’t imagine it.
