Disney Getting Nervous About Brie Larson(The Marvels), May Push Movie Back

Pretty much my thoughts as well.
I can't even say I have "Marvel Fatigue" -- I have bad writing fatigue, and modern Disney is loaded with bad writing. Since Endgame, I've enjoyed the Spider-Man movies, Guardians 3, and that's been about it. I can't think of the last Marvel TV show I watched (Hawkeye, I think) because very few of them have appealed to me. I'm not interested in The Marvels, or anything else they have coming in the future phases. I can make the exact same claim about Star Wars. The last Star Wars TV show I watched was Andor. I don't give a damn about the newest season of Mandalorian, don't care about Ahsoka, or any other project they have in the pipeline, movie or TV.
Between bad writing, poor planning, and oversaturation, Disney has made me utterly indifferent to Star Wars and Marvel. I was a Star Wars fan for almost my entire life, now I'm just completely and totally disinterested (ditto the MCU, just in a shorter time span). That's worse than hating it because hating at least means I still have some emotional connection to it. I have simply reached a point where I don't give a shit anymore -- and that's entirely thanks to Disney's mismanagement and their politically-driven writers.
Also never going to forgive them to what they did to Willow but since they ran that into the ground in a single season at least I don't have to worry about them ruining it further.

Well, WB/DC just went ahead and released the new Flash movie despite all signs that they should not, and it went just fine for them.
To be fair, the movie was already done by that point, I'm not sure waiting around for a different time of year would have helped at all.
Larson and Miller are about at the same level of likability in my opinion, so...

It's not even just the movies, the TV shows stink.
There are so many and the majority are crap and would be cancelled in a heartbeat if they didnt have the Marvel name stuck to them.
WandaVision and Loki were good, sort of. The rest were mediocre crap.
These along with the recent turd movies from Marvel over the last 3 years has really saturated the MCU.
Disney should refocus on making one movie a year if that.

Can they not just release it on plus or 'Batgirl' it?

They just are not good. They have a plan.....they just aren't good.

They should just release this on Disney+, but it's probably too late for that strategy.

That would be an even bigger loss. Maybe they could chop it up into 4 episodes of a TV bit and call it the marvels and make it a sitcom.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
I don’t think there’s marvel fatigue as people are still racing towards those movies. I can’t wait for black Adam 2, Deadpool 3, Captain America etc.

Not so much a Marvel fatigue as much as a shit movies fatigue.

Mediocre movie fatigue... However, Guardians 3 was really good! Most have been mediocre since, IMO, Shang-Chi. BUT, I think Eternals was pretty good. Not as exciting as Shang-Chi, though.

There's nothing about The Marvels (after either trailer) that I find appealing or would make me want to go check out the movie. That's also due to some of Marvel's recent efforts in both TV and Film, and not looking to go see any recent movies, in general. Guardians 3, I want to watch, but after I see 1 and 2 first.
As easy of a target Brie Larson is (she really hasn't done herself many favors like with that "40-year old white dudes" comment from a while back), she wouldn't be the sole reason to blame if this movie fails in some fashion. Little early to point fingers.
Also, that's a lame headline from that site.
I wouldn't be surprised in the least in the resulting film ends up feeling disjointed in parts or that there were too many hands getting into the script.

Yep keep pushing movies back, that will keep people interested in your brands. Didn’t like no one care about black widow because it was delayed like an entire year after they released multiple trailers for it?

They just did over $800 million with Guardians 3, so it's not like they can't make big bucks with Marvel films.
They just need less damn content, and better movies.

That 800 million is just revenue, before taking things like production costs, marketing expenses, and distribution fees into account. The actual profit is nowhere near $800 million.
The thing is that Disney has painted themselves into a corner. Before the rise of streaming, if the movie bombs in the theatres, they can at least recoup back some of the loss via DVD/bluray sales and licensing. However, nowadays everything goes straight to D+ after a few months. There is viewer fatigue with all their IPs, but they cannot afford to make less content even if they claim otherwise because you need content to make people keep subscribing. It's why netflix keeps spamming shows.

It's not like people go to the movies to see Brie Larson, Marvel or not. If you need a big hit after a slew of critical and box office failures and she's the main star of your upcoming movie then you're in trouble.

She said something about wanting more diverse press people/reviewers instead of the bog standard of it being mostly or almost exclusively white men.

She was pretty cute on Community, but yeah, nowadays her face just pisses me off. Those tits are nice though.
But she's not the reason for the MCU being awful. So many crap and meh movies and tv shows. Should've ended with Endgame.

The last Marvel movie I watched was Doctor Strange 2. The direction and scene composition was top notch, but every line of dialogue was stunningly terrible. Every line between Strange and his ex was so awkward, Chiwetel Ejiofor was wasted and superfluous to the plot, Scarlet Witch was the best character in a movie called "Doctor Strange," I stopped watching Marvel after that.

That is what is cracking me up about them having a writer's strike. The quality of the writing has not been that good.

"Marvel fatigue"
I think it's more like "shitty movie fatigue".

She reminds me of a perfectly paved sidewalk, where someone's name is written sloppily on the corner(her fucking feet!)
Yeah.. I hadn't watched much before that, but after watching DS1 and watching DS2... What in the fucking-fuckity-fuck did they do!?
opportunity to top the first and did nothing! Of the sort...

“Aww, it’s so...average,” she said to him in a cold brick of passion
It’s so hard for me to understand why Disney is letting its quality fall so hard. The writing is blatantly terrible. Watch winter soldier then watch guardians 3 (the best of the new) and it’s night and day the level of quality. The new movies are low brow streaming shit and the old are fine wine by comparison. Disney used to have people that gave a shit about these movies and their scripts.

I would like to be romantically involved with Brie Larson, and, relevantly, she once said: "For the third time, I do not hate white dudes."
