"Marvel's 'Phase Four' Appears Headed For Disaster"

My wife and I have been big fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first three "Phases." I’m somewhat skeptical that “Phase 4” will be as entertaining, however. Here’s why. 

COVID-19 has delayed the START of “Phase 4” movies, and it gave me time to take a breath and evaluate....

1.) Actor Robert Downey, Jr., the KEY to the first 3 "Phases" because of his "Iron Man" portrayal, is NOT coming back as Marvel enters "Phase 4."  This has to hurt. 

2.) The death of Stan Lee will hurt as he's not around to oversee the development of characters, most of which he co-created in the comics, as he was around to consult in Phases 1-3. (Also, no more great CAMEOS)!!

3.)  The shocking death of Chadwick Boseman, "The Black Panther," the MCU's most successful SOLO movie, will hurt very much as a sequel was planned for 2022.

"The Black WIDOW" movie kicks off "Phase 4" in November, a six month delay due to COVID.  

Now, THAT one may be view-worthy....but we've already decided we are NOT going to see the next-in-line "Eternals" (pictured above.) "Eternals" was DUE to debut in November but it's been moved back to 2/12/'21 (my birthday). It will be the first Marvel movie to feature an openly gay character, and, interestingly enough "The Eternals" will be fighting "The Deviants," as if Marvel is saying that Homosexuality is NOT "deviant" but the Bible teaches that it IS.  They were also pretty clever to make the openly gay character BLACK, as that will inhibit criticism from people afraid of being called Racist. 

If Stan Lee were alive, I know he wouldn't object to an openly gay character but I think he'd advise the movie people not to PUSH it like that.  It WILL backfire on Marvel, people aren't going to go see it.  And many who DO see it won't RECOMMEND it.  Just my opinion.

In short, it's not "D.C.," (Marvel's chief competition in the comics AND superhero movies) which will kill Marvel movies, it's "P.C.".........Political Correctness.....which will destroy them.  That, and the departure of ROBERT and the deaths of STAN and CHADWICK.  "Phase 3" of Marvel movies culminated with "Endgame" and maybe it was really just .........."End."

Because I love this pic of Stan and Chadwick together by my letter, I'm reposting it yet AGAIN.....
