Once again, Kevin Feige has to take one of his projects, this time the race-swapped Captain America: Brave New World, back to the drawing board because after months of production, it received negative scores from test audiences. What is becoming abundantly clear is that Kevin Feige doesn’t have a clue what he is doing as this is not the only Marvel project that needed to undergo severe work. As the fallout for Phase 4 and 5 continue, with decreasing fan interesting, not to mention the debacle known as The Marvels, the worst MCU box office disaster and one of the biggest flops of the year, it is clear that Kevin Feige was just lucky to catch lightning in a bottle. *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Check out my TeePublic Merch Store: The DA's Merch Store - https://www.teepublic.com/user/the-d-a Visit my website: www.derekanderson-author.com #themarvels #marvel #boxoffice

Looking ahead for the next Star Wars content is like looking across a cemetery. In 2024, Lucasfilm will be giving up the Acolyte and Skeleton Crew, two shows that hardly inspired excitement and hype. Heading into next year, one thing is evident: OG Star Wars is still great, but Disney Star Wars is a dead brand. Nothing coming to get excited for, including the next upcoming film featuring Rey. *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Check out my TeePublic Merch Store: The DA's Merch Store - https://www.teepublic.com/user/the-d-a Visit my website: https://www.derekanderson-author.com #starwars #lucasfilm #disneystarwars

Hollywood’s inability to make good films and stop pushing political and social agendas is hurting the theater business, and in 2023, there is no bigger than the Walt Disney Company. 2023 has featured one bomb after another from the House of Mouse, and after Wish and The Marvels flamed out in the box office, analysts declared the month November took a 12% hit, year over year. With the high cost of tickets, not to mention that audiences simply are not showing up to watch woke garbage, it seems Hollywood itself is creating an existential crisis for their partners in the movie theater business. *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Visit my website: www.derekanderson-author.com #themarvels #wishmovie #boxoffice

Elon Musk, CEO of X/Twitter, did an interview with CNBC where he was asked about the companies who have paused advertising on his platform in response to comments he made.

In a recent Town Hall meeting, Disney CEO Bob Iger promised that The Walt Disney Company would make a departure from the glut of uninspired, uncreative content that has plagued Disney over the past years. He said Disney would shift its focus to "quality over quantity" for its content moving forward. Problem? It's the same exact mantra Bob Iger has spun over and over again for years. And what's more, the "quantity" that Iger condemns is the exact quantity he called for from the very beginning, before former CEO Bob Chapek took over and got thrown under the bus. *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Visit my website: www.derekanderson-author.com #disney #marvel #bobiger

Ms. Marvel and The Marvels star Iman Vellani has been on a streak lately, dropping truth bombs about the status of the MCU and what it needs to regain the hype it once had. And funnily enough, it has nothing to do with social or political agendas. It has everything to do with actually giving audiences what they want…compelling characters we care about! *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Visit my website: www.derekanderson-author.com #themarvels #marvel #imanvellani

Taika Waititi is yet again proving why he should not be let anywhere near major franchises like Star Wars and Marvel. His latest comments say that he only took the directing job for Thor: Ragnarok because of the money, as he never actually liked the character of Thor. After taking the job, he only read one Thor comic and still didn't understand the character. This goes a long way in explaining why Thor: Love & Thunder was a terrible film, but this is also major disrespect to the Marvel franchise, the character of Thor, and to the fanbase. *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Visit my website: www.derekanderson-author.com #starwars #thorloveandthunder #taikawaititi

Daisy Ridley is excited about her upcoming Star Wars film, saying its story is "not what she expected". Sounds a lot like the Sequel Trilogy from the fan's perspective. Not what fans expected and not what fans enjoyed. So will this be more of the same from Lucasfilm? *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Visit my website: https://www.derekanderson-author.com #starwars #disney #rey

Media shills are doing their best to run cover for the failure of Nia Dacosta as the director for The Marvels. The film will go down as one of the biggest box office disaster in cinematic history, spending over $270M on production alone, but not making anywhere near enough to break even in the box office. But instead of holding Nia to the same standards as other film directors who directed flops, the media is trying to find the silver lining, stating that Nia now holds the biggest opening weekend ever for a "Black woman director." This is called the "soft bigotry of low expectations", shills. Hold Nia to the same standards as everyone else. *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Visit my website: www.derekanderson-author.com #themarvels #marvel #boxoffice

After the unmitigated disaster known as Season 1 of Ahsoka, one would have rightly expected heads to have rolled. Instead, Dave Filoni, the showrunner/producer/writer/director responsible for that and many of the other creative debacles with the Star Wars franchise has been elevated to Chief Creative Officer of Lucasfilm, apparently gaining more creative control and power over the company. Not only does this signal bad things to come for the franchise, but it also appears that Kathleen Kennedy has a new meat shield to fend off any criticism of her leadership. *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H #disneystarwars #davefiloni #lucasfilm

Barbie, a billion-dollar blockbuster made for women and by women, took the nation by storm, becoming the biggest hit of 2023. On the heels of that success came the Marvels, another movie written, directed, and starring women, with a hefty budget and the backing of the mega-popular Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Kang The Conqueror actor and MCU Star Jonathan Majors remains in hot water, awaiting the outcome of his trial that could determine his career and possibly his freedom. But it appears Marvel isn't waiting for the outcome. Per reports, plans are already underway to move away from not only the troubled actor, but the character of Kang altogether. Jeff Loveness, the writer of Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania has reportedly been let go from Marvel as they are preparing to ditch the entire Kang storyline, possibly bringing in another big bad to replace Kang. *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Visit my website: www.derekanderson-author.com #jonathanmajors #mcu #marvel

We've known for a while that The Marvels was going to be a box office disaster before a single ticket was purchased, before any cringe cat videos or cat posters were used for promotional marketing, before one single review was written. In fact, one could argue the failure of not only The Marvels, but of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe during this Multiverse Saga was practically predetermined over 5 years ago because of one notable firing. James Gunn. *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Visit my website: www.derekanderson-author.com #themarvels #marvel #multiversesaga

Before the Acolyte's season one has dropped, there's already word that multiple seasons of this diversity checkbox show were in the works, due to the "company's business plans" which called for it. It seems apparent that Lucasfilm's goal was always to drive the Star Wars franchise and its fandom off of the DEI cliff for good. *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Visit my website: https://www.derekanderson-author.com #starwars #lucasfilm #disneystarwars

ITS MARVELS WEEK! The 34th film In the Marvel Cinematic Universe drops this Thursday and all signs point to disaster. Currently its trending below two previous box office bombs with DC, Black Adam and The Flash. Considering how much money was spent on production and reshoots, its looking like this film will be a financial disaster for Marvel and Disney. *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Visit my website: www.derekanderson-author.com #themarvels #marvel #boxoffice

Here’s the thing about franchises. Franchises have very large fanbases. That’s how they became BIG in the first place. And many in this audience has likely been waiting for this franchise to get turned into a movie for years. Fans want to support their favorite franchises. But for some reason, Hollywood lately wants to take something that fans love and turn it into something that fans hate, usually in the name of identity politics. Not so with Five Nights At Freddy. *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Visit my website: https://www.derekanderson-author.com #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #boxoffice

Things are getting worse for Brie Larson's Captain Marvel sequel, The Marvels, as we close in on the release date, Nov. 9. It's pretty obvious after the recent projections this film is going to be a huge box office disaster. Now it appears Marvel Studios has completely thrown in the towel with a sad promo poster featuring cats. How bad will this get for Kevin Feige and Marvel? We'll find out Nov. 12! *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Visit my website: www.derekanderson-author.com #themarvels #marvel #boxoffice

The usual shills in the entertainment media have yet to report their opinions about South Park's "Joining The Panderverse" special to Rotten Tomatoes. I wonder why? In the meantime, some shills are swearing that the special attacks both sides of the woke Hollywood argument evenly (it doesn't), while others are worried that South Park might have not understood the message since Gina Carano loved the special and the Kathleen Kennedy takedown. *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Visit my website: https://www.derekanderson-author.com #southpark #panderverse #ginacarano

Video game movies are really starting to hit their stride. First Sonic, Mario, and Uncharted, and now Five Nights At Freddy's is making huge waves in the box office. The critics might not like it, it might not overly scary, nor well paced, but FNAF is an unexpectedly satisfying gateway horror film for youngsters that has great character work, an actual plot, and does a good job building out an interesting lore surrounding the popular video game. The Universal/Blumhouse film is crushing the weekend box office with a $78 million expected opening weekend, and likely has already made its money back before it the weekend is done...and this is a film that dropped with a day-and-date release on Peacock streaming. Incredible. *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Visit my website: https://www.derekanderson-author.com #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #boxoffice

This was absolute GOLD. South Park: Joining the Panderverse relentlessly attacks and obliterates Woke Hollywood by comparing and contrasting the broken entertainment system against current society's tendency to take the cheap easy way out, instead of doing hard work. They simply call the handy man to fix everything for them. In the same fashion, Kathleen Kennedy uses the Panderstone to make cheap, substandard content, which has a hilarious affect on the citizens of South Park. *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Visit my website: https://www.derekanderson-author.com #southpark #panderverse #review

Delays for the race-swapped woke Snow White remake were inevitable due to the writers strike, so when Disney announced the film would now be delayed to 2025, it came as no surprise. However, what did catch people off guard was Disney releasing a image of Snow White surrounded by 7 Dwarfs. Not 7 magical bandits or creatures, but 7 Dwarfs who closely resemble the original animated classic's characters. Questions abound. Is this just concept art? Are these going to be CGI dwarfs? Was this always the plan? Why did Disney disclose this information now? Was it because of the overwhelming backlash due to their decision NOT to cast people with dwarfism? Or is it because the Daily Wire has thrown their hat into the ring with their own Snow White? *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Visit my website: www.derekanderson-author.com #snowwhite #rachelzegler #brettcooper

Kang The Conqueror actor and MCU Star Jonathan Majors today received the news that his legal team's attempts to dismiss the assault charges against him have failed and he will stand trial. More information has come out about the assault itself and it appears that things are getting worse.

Will he still hold on to the role of Kang? *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Visit my website: www.derekanderson-author.com #jonathanmajors #mcu #marvel

Brie Larson and the Marvels arrives in theaters in a little over 2 weeks, but already it appears Disney is waving the white flag. The review embargo, the day and time where film critics can publish their honest opinions on the film, won't lift until November 8, the day before the film is released in theaters November 9th. Even terrible MCU films like Thor: Love and Thunder got a 3-day window between the embargo lift and the release date. But with the Marvels, Disney is cutting it as close to the vest as humanly possible. It appears they don't have any confidence in this film whatsoever. How bad will this get for Kevin Feige and Marvel?

Matthew Vaughn, director of the Kingsman series, Kick-Ass, and X-Men: First Class, recently came out with the insane notion of rebooting the Star Wars franchise, stating the only way he would ever consider making a Star Wars film was if he could hit the reset button and tell stories about his favorite characters. In fact, he stated Star Wars needs to be rebooted in order to remain a viable franchise, that the focus always should be on the Skywalker family. This seems to disregard not only every other important character in the lore of Star Wars, but also the original vision of the creator, George Lucas. *** Check out my novels: The Gumm Chronicles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRI7WF2 The Fortunes of Felix Fontana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YZTP3H Visit my website: www.derekanderson-author.com #disneystarwars #lucasfilm #reboot
