Cinema Issues: DC’S Hatred Of White Men

Way back in May of 2026 Milly Alcock the face of Supergirl felt the need to attack men for controlling women’s bodies on the press tour, she later went after Christian fathers as well for some reason. Herein we see how within James Gunn’s progressive DCU there is a racial and gender based hierarchy. As a young liberal woman Alcock of course was allowed to go off against an entire gender of people with little to no pushback at all.

Now here we are in September 2026 and Lanterns has taken this a step further. Firstly, the Co Host of a DC sponsored podcast accused Hal Jordan, traditional hero of Green Lantern comics of old of being a racist. No push back came from the studio. Gunn and co allow one of the most beloved figures in DC comics to be character assassinated simply because he is white. You can guarantee if something negative was said about Jon Stewart they would have stepped in. It gets much worse sadly, one of the writers of the series said that the Green Lantern ring itself was sexist, which again attempts to attack a classic element of comics lore, and once again DC says nothing as they can’t possibly go against the ad hoc opinion of a young black woman. As such it appears as though DC is quite happy to let its legacy characters be called names and spat on as long as they are white. Who can forget the trailer for Supergirl has Superman being urinated on by a dog. You could argue a pattern is starting to emerge.

Couple all of this with the blatant racism and race hate of the third episode of Lanterns that displayed Hals parents as not only being abusive, but also suffering deeply from victim complexes. Rather than show his parents as bad people the team has instead tried to deify them, which becomes increasingly problematic as his parents also seemed to be black supremacists and hate white people.

As such in one year alone you’ve had an attack on men, Christians and white people, all coming out under the oversight of James Gunn.

Remember if you’re one of these groups they hate you. Do not buy DC merch, don’t watch the films unless you do it in a way where they do make any money, and of course make you feelings known on social media so WBD is well aware.

Cinema Issues: The Death Of Star Trek

So much like with Doctor Who and a leftist hack has driven another show into the ground in the name of representation and progressive values.

Before you go “StAr TrEk HaS aLwAyS bEeN wOkE” there is a massive difference between presenting a moral issue or hot button point and then presenting both the sides of the argument and allowing the audience to make their own mind up, or even having a kiss happen and not be focused on and what we got under Kurtzman. Under Kurtzman gone was the debate and in came the lectures this is the difference between a progressive bent done well and one that is hamfisted and forced down your throat. If Alex Kurtzman and co had gotten to redo the first interracial kiss it would have been told over multiple episodes whilst a character rants about modern racism in America and they complain about the hetero normative nature of it.

There is also a skill to adding progressive themes into a mass market show in a way that doesn’t reduce its mainstream appeal. Kurtzman Trek couldn’t manage that it decided to tell long time Trekkies to take a hike if they didn’t like all the new changes to canon, and decided that the LGBTQ+ community and fringe radical progressives where enough to keep the show on air, rather unsurprisingly they weren’t. As we have said at length the LGBTQ community is less than 15% of the world’s population, the amount that also watches Star Trek is even smaller than that. When you alienate a mass audience by making it about fringe issues and forcing almost every character to be LGBTQ+then you see just how unsustainable that business model is.

Star Trek much like Star Wars is also a fading brand in terms of cultural relevance and the kids just don’t care about it. The most likely way to turn it around is to go back to the movies, and do classic stories from the original series films as modern movies and remake them. TV series likely aren’t the way to go.

Cinema Issues: The MCU Has An Anti Semitism Problem

As many of you may know if you keep up with entertainment news Mark Ruffalo who plays the Hulk has outed himself as an anti Semite. Any one who follows him would have known how much he hates the state of Israel and increasingly any Jewish person that is not self hating. He attacked Paramount recently and accused them of working for the Israeli military, without cast iron proof.

Sadly however the issue goes far deeper. Remember Brave New World and the character of Ruth Bat-Seraph and how Marvel were terrified of saying the world Israel and how they basic removed most of the stuff her character was supposed to even do.

They are hiding from the pro Palestine mob and enabling Jew hate along the way.

If you need more proof of our point here is a list of the actors who have signed a pledge to refuse to work with any Israeli actors, creatives, crew due to the war in Gaza.

– Benedict Cumberbatch

– Olivia Colman

-Don Cheadle

-Cate Blanchette

-Tilda Swinton

-Tatiana Maslany

-Zawe Ashton

-May Calamawy

-Daniel Bruhl

-Emma Corin

-Angela Jolie

-Wilson Bethel

Some of these people have also signed petitions wanting the release of captured terrorists leadership.

This presents an optics problem for Marvel as they have major stars not only screaming about how much they hate Israel but also often targeting mass Jewish audiences with their comments. Taken with how they have handled Jewish characters in the MCU and it looks like it’s a problem.

Right now they seem to be resting on the fact that most of the names listed on the list of shame are not coming back. Maslany, Corin, Ashton, Calamawy, Jolie, Colman are all gone with only 6 names left.

However Ruffalo still remains a thorn in their side and with Secret Wars coming up it would be the best time to replace him. You don’t even have to kill the character off simply have him transform into the Hulk and be Hulk for the next phase no more Bruce Banner for a while.

Bring back Eric Bana as well.

Cinema Issues: Marvel Doesn’t Seem To Understand The X-Men

We have talked previously about the deviant morality in Hollywood and how a lot of modern screen writers cannot understand right from wrong. Well to this point consider Jean Grey in Brand New Day she is a murderer, she throws a man in front of a taxi, she drives a tank into a building full of people and blows it up amongst other things. However, the writers say she is just acting in rage so it’s fine and that she didn’t kill anyone directly, which is untrue.

Not only does this horribly butcher the character, please look at the comics wherein Jean’s sister is actually kidnapped notice how she handles it there, notice how she doesn’t endanger civilians and throw them in front of cars, it also shows they don’t understand the X-Men.

The idea that something bad has happened to you therefore you can fly into a rage and do whatever you like consequence free, is simply not true it is the philosophy of kids and progressives. Even when you’re upset you have to make moral choices and must hold yourself to that line. When Uncle Ben died did Spider-Man kill the killer, no. Did he go around throwing people in front of taxis for no reason, no. Yet jean did.

This reflects the fact that Hollywood no longer understands the concept of good vs bad, they only understand the concept of getting what they want and lashing out if they don’t get it. That philosophy of Hollywood and the left is why when they are offended they scream death threats at people, Jean Grey herein is a manifestation of that.

In the world of the X-Men the idea is that the world fears and hates them but they do good and risk their lives to save regular humans. If the X-Men are throwing random people in front of taxis then the world will be right to fear them and that fundamentally isn’t the X-Men at all. You could argue she hasn’t met Charles Xavier yet but the film presents her as being an adult she should still have a moral compass and shouldn’t need Charles to teach morality to her.

This all comes on the heels of the X-Men director for the MCU’s attempt at these characters saying that they will showing new stuff never before seen on screen. That is a colossal red flag, yes there are many great X-Men comics that haven’t been adapted however, it is almost certain they don’t mean that, they likely mean they’ll make up new adventures for these characters. With the way in which they introduced Jean Grey being so out of character and just so wrong this fills us with concern.

The butchering of Jean’s character isn’t the worst of it, it is the precedent it sets that is by far the more troubling thing.

Cinema Issues: Career Suicide The Story Of Yahya Abdul-Mateen ii and Mahershala Ali

Recently Marvel has come under attack from stars of projects that didn’t happen in the case of Ali and from stars of shows that did not get renewed in the case of Abdul-Manteen, the accusation is the same, as the black show or film was not made, or renewed therefore racism. This is the very peak of entitled, you are not owed a project or a second season, the fact that shows like Eyes of Wakanda are made, and that Black Panther and Sam Wilson are central to the Marvel universe show that there is no racism going on.

What is going on is that these stars of colour think they can throw around accusations in order to get what they want, but as the case of Blake Lively will tell you that is a dumb strategy to try. First to Abdul-Manteen’s argument of optics, black shows are not the only ones being cancelled or not renewed for season two, look at Hawkeye, look at the scrapped sequel for the Eternals, but this is an inconvenient fact.

The movie going public are well aware of actors like this trying to claim to be the victim whilst they live in their mansions, and they are starting to get sick of it. The fact is the black audience, in countries that matter to the box office, so the collective west and large Asian markets, is so small that they could boycott the next wave of Marvel projects and it would not effect the bottom line at all, Africa as a market does not matter to the box office at all. All of that is to say, that trying to claim you’re an abused black man because you didn’t get a film or second season is not a winning strategy.

Moreover, look what happened to other ‘stars’ who ran their mouth about Disney/Marvel and had an acrimonious divorce with the studio, Tatiana Maslany’s She Hulk might as well be non-canon with a lot of the events of her show having been ignored. Then there is the case of Oscar Issac who threw away the chance of Moon Knight ever getting a second season after he came after Disney for suspending Jimmy Kimmel. Blade can get a new film post Secret Wars with Snipes, Ali has put himself out of business, and if Disney ever did want to bring back Simon Williams there are plenty of other actors who could take over the part.

Behaving in the way these two men have, with the level of entitlement and using their race as a card to mean they cannot be fired and that they must be given things is disgusting. The idea of equality is that everyone is treated the same so if Issac and Maslany can get themselves fired and their characters written off so should these two men.

Cinema Issues: American’s Fear Of Sex Scenes

Wil Gluck’s new film One Night Only is about the one night a year where sex is allowed, it is literally about sex, yet despite this the man who directed Anyone But You and had Sydney Sweeney take her top off says he has removed a lot of the nudity and sex scenes from the movie.

Why? Well because audiences don’t want to watch that according to Gluck. Anyone But You, Wuthering Heights, and any number of other erotic thrillers begs to differ with Mr Gluck. However the deeper reason seems to be America’s growing prudishness around sex, a lot of the people defending Gluck say it takes away from the story, the story is about sex, they say that you can watch porn for that, a film’s sex scene establishes character relationships and is not real hardcore pornography. Frankly, if you think there is a comparison between a film sex scene and porn then you belong about 400 years ago in the puritan past.

There is this idea of oh audiences are uncomfortable watching them, Gluck puts this forward to. Why are you uncomfortable with something as normal as sex, if you can’t handle it the issue is with you, you should stick to watching kids films rather than trying to censor sex as a whole. Does it make you uncomfortable as it shows you what you aren’t having or it shows you people whose bodies don’t look like yours? That’s a you problem. Is it because you can only go to the cinema with other people be it friends or your significant other, once again the fact you can’t go on your own is your problem.

Once again we see the strange needless prudishness coming out of America that has always been there, one of our writers said that they have seen it their whole life, however from this writers European perspective it seems both ridiculous and karenlike. When One Night Only fails hopefully so will Gluck’s career.

Cinema Issues: The Death Of Marvel’s Disney + Dreams

News has broken that other than Daredevil Born Again no other series will be returning to Disney +, despite all those fake leaker accounts promising Hawkeye season 2. There’ll be some one offs and mini series, but by and large the focus will shift to animation as it is cheaper and easier to do.

As you can imagine people are upset, why won’t we get another season of Wonder Man despite the fact it flopped. However, this move is great for Marvel, you shouldn’t have to watch a 6 hours series in order to understand a film you want to watch as such stopping it is for the best.

Moreover, a hell of a lot of the things that happened in the Disney + shows either were never referenced again or were just written out, looking at you Hulk’s son and Kingpin losing an eye. The fact is a lot of these series just weren’t good at all, and so it makes sense to cast them off. When they did mix in with the proper MCU films it was generally in so much as providing a supporting character or explaining a motive, they just weren’t needed.

There are also a lot of reasons why Disney and marvel as a brand want to remove themselves from Marvel’s Disney + offerings and a lot of this comes down to politics. Both Tatiana Maslany and Oscar Issac have publicly attacked Disney in the press and online and as such She Hulk and Moon Knight died there and then, She Hulk has been heavily ignored and vast parts of it simply seem to be non-canon now.

In many ways Disney leaving this arena whilst they still have some of their credibility left is a win, let’s hope Wonder Man, Riri Williams, She Hulk and the rest stay buried forever and don’t pop up for a jump scare in the next Avengers film.

Cinema Issues Spider-Man Brand New Day And Superhero Fatigue

Just like the success of the Odyssey doesn’t prove that woke films are back in vogue, Spider-Man Brand New Day’s success doesn’t change the fact Superheroes are on the way out.

One only needs to look at recent Superhero box office failures such as Captain America Brave New World, Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four or Supergirl or consider the bad viewing numbers of many of the streaming shows.

Folks will always watch Spider-Man he’s a popular character just like folks will watch the Avengers films but just wait for the next B level character and see how few people turn out for it. The fatigue hasn’t gone away it just never applied to the big characters people care about.

Nolan could pull off woke as he’s is Christopher Nolan and sold the experience of seeing his film, another director couldn’t do that, likewise the Marvels 2 wouldn’t be able to be profitable simply because Brand New Day was as no one cares about those characters.

Some say it is bad movie fatigue we say it is bad character fatigue.

Cinema Issues: The Recovery Of The Box Office?

So we were originally going to write a post about the slaughter that has been the summer box office with some films doing really well and everything else flopping. However, we decided to retool that into a conversation on the fact that we are in July 2026 and have already had 3 billion dollar films, with more likely to come meaning that from a box office perspective we have had a much better year than we have had in post-pandemic history. However, within that there is a caveat.

As of right now Michael, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and Toy Story 4 are all sitting at 1 billion, with the Odyssey, and likely Spider-Man Brand New Day set to join it. Whilst on paper this is great news for the box office it is also painting a picture of instability, as whilst there are more high profile hits there are also a lot more high profile misses.

As the summer season has shown films like Minions 3 have struggled to connect and films like Supergirl and Moana have outright flopped, this is showing that cinema is becoming an all or nothing bloodsport. There are far fewer films that do middling, and the remaining strength of the box office is being channeled into a few specific types of film, directors, or franchises this makes the box office lob sided and reduces chances taken on projects.

This seems to be the new reality people either come out in force and a film makes lots of money or no one goes and it dies on the vine. People may say it has always been this way but that is not true there were often middling cases and a middle ground between hits and flops but increasingly that has withered away.

Cinema Issues: The Jean Grey Issue Spider-Man Brand New Day

At the time of writing we do not know if Jean Grey is in Spider-Man 4 and if it is Sadie Sink’s mysterious role however a lot of online speculation says that’s the case.

If it is then it is a terrible terrible decision for multiple reasons, let’s get into it.

1- It introduces her first as a villain: Jean Grey of the X-Men outside of her Phoenix possessions is a good guy, however, a lot of the rumours linking Grey to this film say that she is the villain pulling the strings behind the scenes. Why would she be doing this? It would be incredibly against the character and make very little sense.

2- It cheapens the idea of introducing the MCU’s own X-Men at a later date: we know the X-Men are coming however, the drips and drabs strategy we have been getting isn’t working. The idea was to have an X-Men film pretty immediately after Secret Wars when the universe will be reset why would it make sense to have just Jean Grey introduced early here rather than alongside her fellow X-Men there, it wouldn’t.

3- Spider-Man is still not able to hold his own film: under the MCU there seems to be an idea that you can’t just have a Spider-Man film, like Sony did for years. You need Iron Man, you need the multiverse, you need an X-Man. Repeatedly it seems like Peter cannot just have his own adventure and this film is already crowded with the likes of the Hulk and the Punisher showing up for some reason, now they have to put Jean Grey in as well, it’s just stupid. People want grounded, focused stories not cameo fests.

We long hoped that she is Firestar a different mutant character but one that would be a much more organic fit for the film, however, it would not explain the seeming mind control elements of the plot.

If it is Jean Grey it is a poorly thought through desperate move.
