Chris Gore Claims Marvel Has “Cleaned House” by Removing Woke Producers Following Phase 4’s Failures – Star Wars Allegedly Lost Cause

As a gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I’ve seen the highs and lows of entertainment industries, and the MCU’s Phase 4 has undeniably been a rollercoaster ride. While I was initially excited about the diversity and new faces in the Marvel universe, the execution left much to be desired.


It’s common knowledge that Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) encountered some major challenges during Phase 4, earning the lowest ratings in the franchise and being criticized as merely average at best. However, it will always be remembered fondly for productions like She-Hulk and Eternals. On the other hand, Phase 5 seems to be on an upward trend, bolstered by hit movies such as Deadpool & Wolverine, Loki, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Yet, the underwhelming success of “The Marvels” triggered significant adjustments within the studio. In fact, Bob Iger admitted that Marvel will focus more on quality rather than quantity in their future projects, suggesting an acknowledgement of the movie’s flaws.

According to Chris Gore‘s latest updates, shared through Critical Drinker’s YouTube channel, there are whispers that due to the underperformance of Phase 4, Marvel’s top brass, including Feige, have quietly let go certain producers known for their activism.

As a longtime fan of Marvel movies, I’ve seen the evolution of their storytelling over the years, and I have to say that I’ve noticed a shift in their approach with Phase 4. Having had the opportunity to work alongside people who are directly involved in the production side at Marvel, I’ve heard whispers about the changes they made, such as letting go of certain activist producers and focusing more on established characters like Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor.

Critics often point fingers at “wokeness” as the cause of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s difficulties, but it’s actually something different. It seems that the intended audience for these productions isn’t consistently attending in great numbers to sustain them.

Even if a project continues to earn money despite negative feedback from critics, it’s still challenging when both financial losses and harsh criticism occur. In such cases, it’s evident that adjustments are needed.

The issue goes beyond just favoring specific demographics; it encompasses the standard of storytelling as well, an aspect Gore has brought attention to. For instance, consider “Eternals,” which presented an intriguing plotline but had an unusually large number of unresolved plot points within the MCU, and “Secret Invasion,” a series that barely resembled its comic book counterpart. Both productions struggled with poor writing and execution, and it appears that inadequate understanding of the original source material may have played a role.

Gore suggests that Feige and Marvel are dismissing creative personnel without a strong background in comic books, as evidenced by Nate Moore’s handling of “Eternals,” which sparked controversy and led to his reduced role on “Captain America: Brave New World.” This project underwent significant alterations and expensive reshoots. Gore also mentions that the director of “Secret Invasion” was instructed not to read the comics, and he brings up Marvel’s decision to hire writers from the show “Rick & Morty.”

Moreover, they let go of employees who aren’t familiar with the comics. … However, this shift will be significant and will take several years to fully materialize. Years indeed. That’s why they’re making this announcement early on. ‘We acknowledge our mistakes and shortcomings, but here’s what’s in store.’ Consequently, we may end up with two disappointing movies, two disappointing TV series, and potentially a great “Fantastic Four” film.

George additionally discussed the current state of Star Wars under Disney, expressing concern that it’s in a troubled situation because the management seems to be overly committed to what they perceive as “progressive ideals.”

Contrary to popular belief, Lucasfilm appears to be struggling. They seem misguided in their approach. They persistently double down on questionable decisions, leading many to believe that high-quality content may not emerge from Lucasfilm or Star Wars. This, in essence, is the current state of affairs.

In our latest update, it seems the upcoming film “Skeleton Crew” might encounter internal discontent over claims of insufficient diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) principles and political content. Yet, these assertions have not been substantiated, leaving their validity in question. Whether Gore’s comments regarding Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) projects hold truth can only be determined as time progresses.

It appears that “The Message” is no longer proving successful, especially concerning financial matters, as our ultimate goal has always been profit.
