They're really trying to pander to non-white fans now to make up for all of these years of ignoring us, huh?

[therearewords]

Turns out there is money to be made from them!

[drbat]

So is this a good thing or a bad thing?

[abbiemills]

I don't mind it, but I'd rather it feel more genuine in the same way I feel about them doing Black Widow after what happened to her in Endgame and only after WW/CM being successes.

The whole 'next phase' of Marvel feels like they're trying to be inclusive because it's the money-making thing, but I'd rather them do it for those reasons than not at all.

It’s never going to be genuine.. it’s a bunch of white dudes looking to up their profit metrics.

I’m just glad a younger generation gets to see more black and brown faces in their entertainment. Representation does not equal liberation but it is a small step in the right direction.

hashtag to be fair Phase 4 is gonna be when the post-"Ike Perlmutter has veto on anything we do" era of Marvel Studios starts to bear fruit so I don't think it's that surprising the optics of it are very diversity forward in a way they haven't been yet

[saemcrh]

Yeah, even films like Black Panther and Captain Marvel were apparently ideally released sooner but Perlmutter was against them because he didn't think they'd do well (due to a black lead and a female lead).

Apparently there was also supposed to be a Black Widow movie in phase 1 but Perlmutter also stopped that because "girls don't sell toys".
