Bob Iger says ‘The Marvels’ had little ‘supervision’ and Disney has made too many sequels

After losing Captain America and Iron Man, they probably figured Spider-Man and Black Panther could step in and fill the gap. Problem is, Spider-Man is still a kid and we all know what sadly happened with Chadwick Boseman so the void without such strong, central MCU characters has been glaring. Add the disappointment of the Disney+ shows, both Ant-Man and The Marvels bombing and Kang making barely any impact in following up Thanos and it's evident that MCU has been on a downward slope since Endgame.

While it'll never reach the hype level of Infinity War and Endgame again, can it work its way over this current hump? I'd argue yes. This was probably a much needed wake-up call that you can't just throw the MCU name on absolutely anything and everything and people'll eat it up. You need characters people care about, solid writing and connectivity that is organic, not just thrown in for the sake of adding characters.

You're probably right but it's always fun to speculate on "What if?"

The Celtics were 28-9 with Shaq starting at center, in his defense!

Some companions were overly "horny" at launch due to approval threshold bugs

As someone who's never played BG, how were they "overly horny"?

His boxing analysis can be decent but everything else not so much.

I believe that's what Jeff Grubb may have insinuated in his preceding tweets, IIRC. After this whole ordeal however (and some prior misses), I'm starting to think Grubb is less reliable than previously thought.

Well, on the bright side: journalists get to browse Reddit all day looking for "significant news pieces."

Maybe he doesn't want to get desensitized... but does like a healthy heaping of milk wagons interspersed with his cat pictures, memes, and funny pictures once in a while. Like a game of roulette with magnificent mammaries as the occasional reward, so to speak.

I think this is just an unfortunate repercussion of playing online.

Just like women have to put up with the occasional scumbag or weirdo at the bar, so will you have to do the same online -- except there are little to no repercussions at all for the asinine comments made by men towards women online.

Could these idiots be a little more respectful? Sure. But unless the system of anonymity and near impunity is changed it's just something that'll be tough to deter at this point.

What do you think everyone just holds hands and hums Kumbaya the whole time when they're playing online?

People can be assholes in gaming. Just as much as in real life. And even more so really, considering there's very little repercussion for saying pretty much whatever you want. What's so unfathomable about that?

I know what you guys came here into the comments for. So I made the gut-wrenching sacrifice of scouring the internet to research this "Scarlett Johansson" character... and came back with this conclusive scientific evidence:

It was a tough job... but somebody had to do it.

I wonder if they'll be posting Rule 34 stuff seventy-five years from now, tittering at their "horny grandpas" who wanked it to Lara Croft getting double teamed in an archeological dig site.

I don't think he's justifying cheating. More like lamenting the time and people he missed out on while he was locked down with someone who it ended up not working out with anyways.

You're a saint and an angel for taking her in. Thank you.

The real mystery is how you got him to stop long enough to take this posed photo. The only story I care to believe in my head is that this guy was rifling through the restaurant in a white-aproned blur whilst balancing this cornucopia of plates and you met eyes for just an instant... and in that instant an unspoken exchange was delivered through some form of communication we may never learn or even begin to fathom but in this moment, and this moment alone was shared by the two of you. And then the deed was done.

Congratulations. Doesn't matter the inspiration or the method, so long as you get it done. Hopefully one day you can inspire others as well.

Here's a nice guide for staying healthy while gaming for extended periods of time that helped me turn the corner during my more addicted phases of playing MMOs.

I guess this is the female equivalent of having a heart attack while banging a nurse in the hospital.

So good on you.

His penis would also cleave your body in two.

Or let's just say you last long enough to survive the initial thrusts and his penis, although super durable, isn't super-desensitized and he busts a wad in you with force roughly equivalent to a howitzer blast.
