TL;DR

>Doubling their content to prop up Disney+ was a mistake.
>Doesn’t regret more experimental projects like Eternals even if they weren’t successful.
>Will release 2-3 movies, 1 live-action show and 1-2 animated shows a year going forward.
>TV shows will be cheaper and only tangentially connected to the movies so people don’t think of them as homework.
>Starting with Deadpool & Wolverine, they’ve also lowered their movie budgets due to most Hollywood movies underperforming lately.
>Won’t change their process of tinkering with the movie all the way to release, takes issue with James Gunn’s criticism given how much he tinkered with the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.
>Believes the homework stigma hurt Thunderbolts and regrets not emphasizing its standalone nature more in the marketing.
>Didn’t like that Ironheart and Wonder Man were shelved for so long when Disney ordered them to slow down their output, feels it hurt the story’s momentum. Points out Wonder Man was a parody of superhero filmmaking long before projects such as The Franchise and The Studio.
>Blade still in development with Mahershala Ali attached to star. Will no longer be a period piece. Delayed so often because the script wasn’t good enough. Regrets announcing it back in 2019 when Ali had only just signed on and there was no script.
>Kang won’t be coming back, and he approached RDJ to play Doctor Doom even before Jonathan Majors crashed out due to audiences not taking to Kang as they had to Thanos.
>All the characters they’ve introduced from the Eternals to She-Hulk to Clea to Hercules will pop up again eventually. They’re not memory-holing anyone (besides Kang).

>Avengers: Secret Wars will reset the MCU, unifying the Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four timelines and introducing the MCU X-Men which will skew younger as in the original comics. Doesn’t consider it a reboot as most pre-reset characters and storylines will continue.
>No plans for live-action Miles Morales.
>Might do more Deadpool/Wolverine movies.
>Will eventually recast cornerstone characters like Iron Man even if RDJ’s performance was iconic. Names David Corenswet as an example of a successful modern recast and Sean Connery’s James Bond as a character once perceived as “unrecastable”.
>Has no plans to leave Marvel Studios, but might branch out and produce some non-MCU projects in the future.
>The actors from Roger Corman’s Fantastic Four movie all have special cameos in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
>Loved Gunn’s Superman, hopes Ultraman returns as Bizarro in the sequel.

Moving into tv was a mistake to begin with
>Doesn’t regret more experimental projects like Eternals even if they weren’t successful.
What was experimental about it exactly? Did he mean to say dogshit instead?
>Will release 2-3 movies, 1 live-action show and 1-2 animated shows a year going forward.
Still too much and it's not about quantity, it's about quality. Phase 1 MCU slop is notably better.
>TV shows will be cheaper and only tangentially connected to the movies so people don’t think of them as homework.
What's the point then? Keeping the Disney+ cash flowing in?
>Starting with Deadpool & Wolverine, they’ve also lowered their movie budgets due to most Hollywood movies underperforming lately.
He should be asking where the money is going. These movies look worse over the past decade and they're 2-3x more expensive compared to phase 1 MCU
>Won’t change their process of tinkering with the movie all the way to release, takes issue with James Gunn’s criticism given how much he tinkered with the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.
Stupid.
>Believes the homework stigma hurt Thunderbolts and regrets not emphasizing its standalone nature more in the marketing.
People are fatigued from more than just the homework. They are fatigued from garbage movies.
>Didn’t like that Ironheart and Wonder Man were shelved for so long when Disney ordered them to slow down their output, feels it hurt the story’s momentum. Points out Wonder Man was a parody of superhero filmmaking long before projects such as The Franchise and The Studio.
They should have never been made to begin with

Scrap it. This is a doomed project. Don't even bring Snipes back again, the entire capeshit ecosystem has changed for the worse
>Kang won’t be coming back, and he approached RDJ to play Doctor Doom even before Jonathan Majors crashed out due to audiences not taking to Kang as they had to Thanos.
Good, nobody liked that goofy nigger. The second part sounds like face-saving cope though
>All the characters they’ve introduced from the Eternals to She-Hulk to Clea to Hercules will pop up again eventually. They’re not memory-holing anyone (besides Kang).
Why not bring out characters people care about like Ghost Rider and Punisher? Why not inject a little edge and masculinity into your focus-tested corporate product? Oh...

Maybe, since Jackman is staying on in the Deadpool corner of the universe.

Pedro, the bogged-out hag and the two fags were given ten-year contracts. If the FF bombs he's fucked eight ways from Sunday and he knows it

This moron thinks a reset will buy him time. Simply put, he had the perfect storm of build-up from 2008-2018 and he simply cannot replicate that mass appeal. It starts with the writing and the characters. Fix them.
>No plans for live-action Miles Morales.
I'll believe it when I don't see it.
>Might do more Deadpool/Wolverine movies.
I'm sure they'll be just as forgettable as the first one.
>Will eventually recast cornerstone characters like Iron Man even if RDJ’s performance was iconic. Names David Corenswet as an example of a successful modern recast and Sean Connery’s James Bond as a character once perceived as “unrecastable”.
That's fine. Don't have to stay boxed-in to a handful of actors forever. I maintain the issue with these movies is the writing and the lack of interesting characters since Infinity War.
>Has no plans to leave Marvel Studios, but might branch out and produce some non-MCU projects in the future.
And he'll repeat his mistakes
>The actors from Roger Corman’s Fantastic Four movie all have special cameos in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
45 year olds be baseding out and sheeeit
>Loved Gunn’s Superman, hopes Ultraman returns as Bizarro in the sequel.
He's definitely gonna be Bizarro. I thought that was obvious. Personally, I'm hoping they bring Brainiac in and properly portray him.

Why do you want weak characters?

Awesome, they'll keep flopping.

The marketing already confirms they have no confidence.

Fags and women don't make money or are compelling, getting mad won't change this.

I think it clear at this point that women have no interest in this crap, same shit with Star Wars or Indiana Jones, these are movies for boys, the "first female lead in a capeshit movie" can work once.
