Really good discussion, especially the end regarding comic books and Marvel’s treatment of other worlds.

The problem I have the GOTHG3 (G3) was what was said about Dark Phoenix. During G3 a planet with a modern (to us) civilization is destroyed, but hey we rescued some baby racoons.

Regarding the tax decision. My first instinct is to think it’s a failed tax policy if it’s more profitable for value to be destroyed on purpose. That said, it’s good to encourage risk taking but at what cost to the taxpayer and the overall good of society?

I didn’t think The Marvels was a terrible film, I’m just not as invested in the whole project as I was ten years ago. They’re essentially the same stories which is fine if you have great characters. Unfortunately Marvel still, somehow, struggles to write good villains.
