Disney's New 'Captain America' Just Decided to Set His Box Office Prospects on Fire
2025-01-29
[RS] Does Disney enjoy losing money? Because it really seems like they enjoy losing money. From the complete botching of the "Star Wars" universe to the obsession with girl-bossing live-action remakes of its classic films, the once-storied production company simply refuses to learn any lessons.

Sure enough, despite Disney's Marvel franchise flopping over the last several years, some genius decided it'd be a great idea to race-swap "Captain America" with a guy who doesn't believe the role represents America. No, I'm not kidding. That's an actual thing Anthony Mackie said while promoting the upcoming fourth installment in the series.

#4  Swap out the white guy and have a highly pro-American black guy and you might have a chance to keep the character appealing. Swap out the American for globalist and you just torched to whole thing, because now you made it clear you were determined to make a DEI point. Morons...

#3  I understand this interview was in Italy, so I take it, like Clooney and Hanks and Hamil, he is now somebody's asset.

You got to do better, inheritor!

The history of Disney's earnings decline, is a great example of what happens to any company jumping on a Liberal, perverse Bandwagon.

Pull up the Yahoo Finance 5 year quote.

Note, how the stock started to climb with the 2020 election.
Then peaked at 3/8/2021 at $203.02, and just managed $112 yesterday 1-28-2025.
