SPOILER WARNING:
It appears to be good because the people charged with making it loved the original property.
What a novel concept, huh?

What they REALLY wanted to do was shoehorn Carol Danvers into the universe very late in the game and ret-con everything that had happened up to that point and make her the "savior" in End Game. At least the fan backlash put the brakes on that and gave her a very small role in End Game.
But now that they've blown their load and raced to tell most of the biggest stories to make a quick buck, they can't go back to small events and small characters with no huge payoff looming without some sort of gimmick.
So Marvel Phase 4 is going to kill off most of the white males (including Dr. Strange now, apparently), cram a lot of diversity hires in there and hope that it doesn't shit the bed.
SPOILER ALERT: It will shit the bed.
The MCU is done.
Yup. Another correct prediction.

Ahsoka, a Star Wars spin-off series, was probably one of the most highly anticipated releases of 2023, which makes its current ratings quite disappointing. While the series currently holds very high positions across various charts, the fact remains that it has weaker viewership compared to Disney's previous Star Wars projects. Now, its ratings are being destroyed by One-Piece, Netflix's live-action adaptation of a popular anime.

The West is officially in culture collapse
Not so long ago, you had huge bands huge movie brands the Scifis, the James Bond, the comicbooks, Terminators, Jurassic Park, LOTR, Ironman and Superman, the Star Treks and Star Wars. In a year of blockbusters, Avengers movies, Matrix, Harry Potter, Nobody would have predicted Hollywood destroying itself and giving it all to Asia, letting South Korea win by self-sabotage.
Then suddenly they had to put weird political stuff in, suddenly a black ffeminist muslim man-woman transexual odd thing with a politics message is everywhere
'THE MESSAGE'
How Hollywood destroyed itself and gave it all to other indie entertainment companies and foreigners like the South Koreans.
Team America Hollywood Culture Win! said an American political analyst on inter-Korean affairs
Another political science moron who got it completely wrong
BBC Dad
twitter handle 'Robert_E_Kelly'
claims 'Korea fatigue' would come to the USA and Anglo-American culture would be great and worship itself

sed-japan
and yet people pay to listen to such morons talk, he's not always wrong he did get some facts correct and he is successful appearing on multiple news channels around the world and published by the Australian think tank
but as you get old you can be out of touch, maybe he has kids maybe they have grown up and can explain to him what is hip and 'cool'.
To be fair to this man he is just busy and older on life, maybe he is busy with a family, he probably didn't have much time for culture and it was 2015 ...Obama was still a thing and Trump had not been elected yet, Europe in its own foolish stupidity thought it would open its borders to waves and waves of illegal immigration and give some jihadis islamist types 'refugee' status
Me I'm in a far away place far from Korea, I have been to South Korea some time ago but here's the thing me far removed from all that I see Korean products maybe a CD or DVD appear on a far off remote location on the planet, if I get a tv switch it on to a streaming show I will see a S Korean drama or S Korea horror or scifi pop up and we have not even reach saturation with Korea culture.
I went for a drive the other day and found an old second hand used book, DVD, novel comicbook shop, what stood out to me was the insane level of Japan Manga for sale, products from Japan translated their animated cartoons put into comicbook form. I see online Japan products are selling inside some of the bigger chains, they compete against mainstream books and Marvel DC comics on every bookshelf now all over the world. Hollywood can only blame itself for what it has done to destroy the US industry.
In South Korea they no longer just copy or get inspired by something from China or the USA or copycat a Japan idea, they have their own industry 'The Webtoon' or 'Manhwa'
