You should watch she-hulk. That show is something, Disney is not just wasting money, they are burning bridges along with the rest of the real estate that they bought.

That’s quite subjective. I thought She-Hulk was pretty entertaining, and actually really clever and subversive in its writing. You may however not be the target demographic for it, which is fine, but it’s important to note it isn’t just firing into a void for no reason.

  Personally I am not the right demographic for marvel movies, period. My marvel viewing experience is driven by my kids. However, it is very hard for me to envision large group of people(let alone a whole demographic) that could truly enjoy latest marvel if those shows/films were not backed by established characters/franchise

    I’m not sure what your point is because all the marvel films are backed by established characters from an established franchise. The new shows also have had decent viewership numbers too even when introducing completely new characters or scenarios.

      Interesting, how would you define your demographic? I hated the show, my teens hated the show, but we couldn’t help finishing it.

        I’d say most people in my social circle liked it. I’m not sure what we have in common given we’re a fairly even mix of genders and ethnicities but I’d say we’re all fairly progressive (not saying you’re not, just postulating about ourselves) and enjoyed having fresh content. Many of us are tired of the usual marvel action affairs. What we all seemed to like about the show was that it was lighthearted and funny, without overly dour world ending scenarios. It was clearly written with women involved because a lot of the humour was both targeted and different, which as a guy, I enjoyed because there were a ton of really great subversions of traditional male tropes in writing. I liked that it was basically Ally McBeal.

        Ok. To each is own. Although I must add that “progressive” is not a demographic.

        Of course it is. Political and moral alignments are parts of demographics. She-Hulk definitely appeals (or tries to) to more politically/socially progressive individuals.

    You realize that none of the marvel characters besides Hulk were household names before the MCU? Marvel characters again aside from Hulk were never household names like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.

  Ditto, it ranks as one of the best Marvel series in my book - it's different, just like Wandavision was different - more light hearted, but still poignant. A lot of subtext that is spot on. The lead actor (Tatiana) was awesome. The ending was a bit too odd to match the rest of the show, but I enjoyed it. I loved their take on the crossover superhero they included!
