She's 71, so time will do it for her soon enough. I think it's a pretty easy sell that she is far too old to have her finger on the pulse of what the youth want these days. Seems bizarre to have such old people in charge of things like Star Wars and......whatever else Lucasarts does these days.

I don't follow any of that stuff on Youtube, it was just the impression that I got.The only reshoots were 22 days for the opening to replace Seth Rollins with Esposito:
‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Reshoots Underway With New Pages, New Mystery Character
Giancarlo Esposito joins the cast for part of a 22-day shoot as a villainous character.
Multiverse of Madness had more and longer reshoots than this. Stop believing bullshitters on YouTube.
About the last 10 minutes of the movie.... the movie is trash
Doom85 is right, as mentioned I saw the movie yesterday.
No you don’t understand, clips presented out of context and edited on YouTube are the truth not what’s really playing in theaters.
Right. It would happen in the secret wars.
Well obviously, but you said winning blow, which is not true.
Captains America!
I mean there were 3 Wolverines and like 1,000 Spider-Mans.
But that director has no action track record either. I liked Frank and Me and maybe he did good eps of Brand New Cherry Flavor and Skeleton Crew (did folks like Beef?) but otherwise it's hard to get excited about him.
Had a feeling it was junk right from the beginning. First of all, most people know Cap as a white guy. And in the past 10+ years it's Chris Evans. Not everyone cares or knows about whatever comicbook changes or handing off the torch scene where new Cap is a black guy with robo wings.This is the kind of press that's gonna kill this film...
Captain America: Brave New World has come close to securing an embarrassing Rotten Tomatoes record for a Marvel film after the new blockbuster opened to negative reviews from critics.
Brave New World marks Anthony Mackie’s first feature film outing as Captain America with his character inheriting the mantle from Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) at the end of Avengers: Endgame. The movie also stars Harrison Ford, Giancarlo Esposito and Danny Ramirez.
Although Marvel movies continue to dominate the box office, critics have been notably much harsher on their output since Endgame with five of their films since 2019 currently holding the lowest scores on Rotten Tomatoes.
Brave New World has opened with a score of 51 per cent, which is way off the 60 per cent needed to get a fresh rating on the website. The only two MCU films with a lower score are Eternals with 47 per cent and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania with 46 per cent.
In a two-star review, The Independent’s Adam White writes that Brave New World “isn’t the catastrophe that its endless delays and reshoots might have suggested” but that “the MCU cannot afford to rest on producing merely functional entertainment anymore”.
Overall, critics have been generous to MCU since 2008 with its 32 other films all receiving fresh scores on the website even though the general feeling is that the studio’s output has dropped in quality since 2019.
Brave New World had a difficult press tour after Mackie described the eponymous protagonist as a man with “honour, dignity and integrity,” and that such qualities did not currently represent America.
The viral clip was quick to anger Republicans, who called for the movie to be boycotted, with some going so far as to describe it as “woke garbage.” Conservative political commentator Dan Bongino shared a clip on X of Mackie’s remarks and wrote: “Another s*** movie I won’t be seeing.”
Mackie responded, writing on Instagram: “Let me be clear about this, I’m a proud American and taking on the shield of a hero like CAP is the honour of a lifetime.
“I have the utmost respect for those who serve and have served our country. CAP has universal characteristics that people all over the world can relate to,” he concluded.
Kinda sums up both the fatigue with the MCU and the kerfuffle over the press tour. The marketing was directionless since they couldn't seem to pick a direction for the film and had to actively suppress one of the co-leads. Then Mackie gave them juuuuuust enough to make skipping it an easy decision (perhaps, we'll see with the week 2 hold %).
The MCU needs a real kick in the pants, hopefully the post endgame string of flops drives that home when even the sure-fire films are not delivering. Thunderbolts doesn't look much better based on the scatter brained trailers I've seen but we'll see. I never even finished Black Widow so if its "more like that" I think I'll skip it. My kid shows little interest in it (not sure he's even seen a trailer TBH, as it hasn't been pushed in theaters nearly as much (or is skewing to an older audience) which makes it even easier to skip as I doubt my wife would care to see it either. If it gets great WOM I'll have to sneak away during the day
Too early to tell with F4. That director has a lot (all?) of TV which isn't inherently a bad thing, Whedon and the Russos came from TV as well, but it tends to give a different look to the movie, often less of a sweeping cinematic scope, and the MCU is DYING because so much of it feels "like a D+ show" in look, tone, scope, and feel. I wish the MCU could get more real movie directors with a strong vision. Hell, get Snyder in there, so long as he isn't writing the script and only has 20 seconds of slo-mo MAX he will give you a film that looks like no other (in a good way).
I dont follow CA and never read his comics. All I know is what he looks like based on what I saw as a kid and him in Avenger movies.
If thats the case, then he should put on a different costume because at first glance all anyone sees is America. It's like sports. People in the olympics wear a costume based on their country/flag. They represent.He represents what Americans should strive to be like. He is the ideal AMERICAN, but that doesn’t mean him existing means America as a whole gets patted on the back for him existing. I mean, that’s ridiculous if you think about it.
Hell, as I’ve said multiple times in this thread, there has been a massive group with a four letter acronym slogan talking about American needing to be “great” again, which by logical conclusion means this group thinks America isn’t always “great” in their eyes either. Which, hey, regardless if I agree with them or not, that’s their opinion and they can express it.
And it’s highly likely people like this Dan Bongino belong to such a group. And is so, yet again, double standards and just straight up dishonesty on some of these people’s part. They like to shit on an “America” that isn’t in line with how they view it, but the second someone outside of their group supposedly does so (even though, again, it’s not even what Mackie meant), that someone needs to fuck off in their eyes despite plenty of members said group constantly whining about their freedom of speech and such.
I don't want any more Star Wars from Disney, period
The only reshoots were to replace Seth Rollins with Giancarlo Esposito. Because Rollins obviously couldn’t carry that character. It was 22 days. The fewest amount of reshoots of any MCU movie.
When someone wears a uniform, they represent that country in sports. Thats why when they win a medal it goes towards the country total in competition with others. And so does Captain America.
