MCU will stall unless it leans into actors aging. Move older heroes into mentor roles and younger into active. Comics have never been able to do that for whatever reason. It's reboot, retcon, and aging up. Which I think turns hardcore fans into casual ones.

Turning off all comms in Battlefield, running around like a maniac, and never killing anyone is the only way to play.
I loved the Skeleton Warriors growing up but my religious mom thought all skulls were demonic. Which meant a lot of figures were off limits in the 80s/90s. No Mumm-Ra, Skeletor, or Skeleton Warriors. 💀

"It was society that turned me into Scrooge. I was just playing the game and they looked at me with such contempt. Jealous! Jealous, they were! I could trust no one as no one trusted me. The only use they had was filling my pockets. It's not my fault they couldn't hold on to their coin!"

Beautiful article. This is why AI is so loved by conservatives. Progress is a natural extension of the human experience. If you remove it then quantify it then there is no fear of progress. Not in typography, not in writing, not in learning, not in thought. Stagnation is the dream.
