they saw what mess madam web was, and pumped the breaks faaast

they should just stick to spider video games moving forward until the MCU needs a character, they'd probably make more (or at least lose a lot less) money

[waffletaco]

or expand on lesser known characters (but not totally obscure like this or madam web) and give them a show.

I would LOVE a series based on Deathlok. But not the weenie one they had on Agents of Shield. I need it to look like the comic

Marvel Studios own the rights to these characters so it's def possible! Deathlok's 50th anniversary is coming up (https://www.thepopverse.com/deathlok-50th-anniversary-marvel-comics-tom-brevoort-substack)

including a request to Angela Kang and her writing team to not make the show as centered on the title character

We’d like you to write a show with an Asian woman as the main character but we don’t want you to make her the focus of the show.

In a weird way, this the show getting axed at pre-production is probably the best outcome for everyone. Given how hyper-sexualized Asian women are and judging by what the producers are demanding, it sounds like a micromanaged hell for the writing team.

Honestly, thank God.

I was gong to say boo but they weren't going to center it on her (guessing bc the character is Asian.) So I guess that's for the best :/
