"Marvel and DC Comics and Star Wars have pretty much taken over. It’s ruining our industry a little bit, because nobody does anything original anymore.” Roland Emmerich said this....Roland "Disaster Shlock" Emmerich said this...are you kidding me? 😂

Still not even close to those with the direct opposite or even "meh" viewpoints on the whole thing. So much so, I've gotten it pretty much all "woke" spouting naysayers eliminated on my PC version of YouTube (only get it once in a while now). Unfortunately, not on my Apple TV, which doesn't have the don't recommend feature. Also, most of the IRL comes from several of my family members who are Trump supporting, antivaxxers, as well as Biden haters. So I hear crap spew from them weekly.

Cruella has a trans seamstress who helped her carry out her schemes. Yes Endgame did have a gay character, played by Joe Russo himself. Harley states she's Montoya's ex in Birds of Prey. As for Deadpool 2 doesn't not being played in China go against the argument that all blockbusters have to cater to China? American Chavez is one of the main characters in Doctor Strange 2: Multiverse of Madness. Wiccan is Wanda's son, who's also slated to appear in that movie as well and the future Young/New Avengers movie. Both characters are openly gay in the comics, the latter partnered with another Young Avenger, a male Skrull called Hulkling. Nico Minoru (aka Sister Grimm) has appeared in the Runaways TV series, is rumored to soon helm her own show and as well as appear as a future member of the Young Avengers, which Marvel is currently building up.

The trans character in Cruella was overtly trans in that she always appeared wearing women's clothing. I don't know if the character was edited out in China. https://www.them.us/story/disney-cruella-gay-character-pissing-off-conservatives
I did say who knows what the future holds. Also they're clearly building up a Young Avengers team as it's members have been appearing in the MCU during this phase; Kate Bishop (Hawkeye), Cassie Lang (Stature to be appearing in Ant-man Quantumania), Elijah Bradley (Patriot appeared in Falcon and The Winter Soldier), Tommy & Billy (Wiccan & Speed appeared in Wandavison and soon to appear on the new Doctor Strange Movie), America Chavez (Ms. America also in Doctor Strange), Kid Loki (appeared in Loki), Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel), Riri Williams (Ironheart), and Nico Minaru (Sister Grimm who appeared in Runaways). The only ones yet slated to appear is Iron Lad and Hulkling.

Could it be possible that because these family members are Trump supporting antivaxxers that this might lead you to the assumption that every person who criticizes "woke" culture is a Trump supporting antivaxxer? And therefore not entertain anything they say.

The others I've known IRL are just misogynistic boomers. Don't get me wrong, they're my closet friends, but they're still very much misogynistic boomers. 🙄

What makes you think China is even going to allow Doctor Strange (or even any other future Marvel property)? They haven't even shown No Way Home yet (even though they've already announced a China release date for Uncharted). China clearly has an issue with Marvel/Disney at the moment.

We'll see at the end of the year I guess. Though I expect you won't take any examples this year either if China denies all of them as well.
