TV series was shelved for 3 years, finally out in the end of June, and the studio is STILL reworking/editing it in an effort to salvage the project
Reportedly "the worst project Marvel Studios has ever produced"
Another test screening scheduled early June, mere weeks before release in an effort to salvage it in the editing room
Bob Iger and Disney boardroom executives having frequent damage control meetings regarding the financial loss, reported finger pointing blame game to Iger
Slashed marketing budget in an effort to save money, explaining why the trailer was released so late (a month prior)
Show has an estimated budget cost between 120 to 130 million dollars
Reported 80% cut to Ironheart merch that was originally in production/rotting in warehouses. Items will no longer be sold in Disney gift shops/retail
Compared to Star Wars Acolyte for its alleged focus on "woke pandering" and "message"
Several episodes will be released at once to hasten it out the door
Reportedly several of these episodes have been cut to ribbons in editing in an effort to tone down "the message", meaning money wasted on footage that will no longer see the light of day
Alleged cut scenes included Riri "correcting The Hood with her pronouns" and "Riri watching footage/interviews of Tony Stark and making comments that belittle him"
Wow, and I thought Eternals was their lowest point. Do you think we'll eventually get some Fant4stic/Snow White level drama revealed later? Will poor performance result in Riri being shelved indefinitely in comics, meaning no more appearances in the Champions books? Also out of curiosity, was Riri bad in Wakanda Forever? Never saw it.
