With the world now taking a more serious war against racism many have to wonder about recent accusations made against Disney. We’re going to take a look at two creative moves, or were they creative moves?
Damien Poitier, a black actor, portrayed Thanos in Avengers 1, back in 2012. He was later replaced by Josh Brolin over creative differences. While many brushed it aside, it was a second creative difference many could not brush off.
TQR, creator of the online global hit novel, The Forgotten Ranger, was sub-messaged and reference in many MCU films, along with the former Netflix shows. The plan was for these sub-messages and references to reveal a secret character in the MCU. This would be a character not of the MCU, to save the MCU from Thanos in Avengers End Game. This would’ve been historically big, a character outside Disney and Marvel to save the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Then something strange happen. TQR was later (without warning) replaced by Brie Larson. To make things worse Robert Downey jr ends up defeating Thanos, due to backlash from the fans learning that Larson replaced TQR and was going to be the hero to defeat Thanos in End Game. The move not only ignited anger in fans, but anger within FOX and Netflix. FOX was so upset at the move that Deadpool 2 was pushed closer to Infinity War. In a panic move Disney pushed Infinity War to an earlier date. This however did not stop Deadpool 2 from defeating Infinity War in the box office. A collapse many said wouldn’t happen.
Many said the collapse wouldn’t happen, others knew it would. Fans remember Lionsgate Films was discovered to had stole creative ideas from TQR’s The Forgotten Ranger and put them in the Power Rangers film, the movie failed in the box office, and was quickly removed from theaters.
There’s been rumors Robert Iger’s departure is due to the company being investigated as well of plagiarizing off TQR’s creative ideas. It was TQR from day one, who said the MCU is alternate timeline that is not suppose to exist. Fans learned of this truth at the end of Avengers End Game and realize TQR was indeed telling the truth. This has led to many wondering why was he replaced in the first place?
False accusations created by cyber bullies, racists, and troll accounts were constantly spreading false accusations about TQR. Some believe this was why he was replaced. But there are some investigators who believe Disney was working with the false accusers as an excuse to replace TQR, with him being, black.
Disney didn’t want a black man (Secret Avenger) defeating Thanos. They sure didn’t want a black man portraying a threat (Thanos) to the MCU. Also keep in mind The Forgotten Ranger had a powerful female lead. A female lead who’s more powerful than TQR/Corporate Red. Now some will say Disney didn’t turn down TQR/CR because he’s black and a powerful female character. Disney didn’t turn down a powerful female character? Tell that to film director Shane Black and actress Rebecca Hall. Shane Black states Hall’s role was reduced due to Disney worrying about toy sales. Really? Black has gone on record that Marvel Studio’s President, Kevin Feige, had nothing to do with the decision. Could this be why Feige has been unease when questioned about why TQR was replaced by Larson? Many insiders have said the MCU wanted TQR over Larson, and that removing TQR, hurt the MCU big time. For one TQR’s role in the MCU was to restore the original MCU. This would’ve resulted in adult Spider-man (not teenage Spidey-boy), original X-MEN and Fantastic Four cast merging into the MCU. Many feel maybe its not too late to bring back TQR. Bring in TQR as Secret Avenger for Avengers 5 would be good timing. For the real villain is Chris Evan’s Captain America, who not only hurt the branches of the multi-verse, but also intentionally erased a timeline.
Having Secret Avenger and Khang headline Avengers 5 would be big. Perhaps maybe even have Damien Poitier star as Khang and TQR as Secret Avenger. Two secret characters on their own individual secret wars against the MCU. Baron Mordo portrayed by Chiwetel EjioforĀ said it best, “the bill comes due always”. Tony Stark portrayed by Robert Downey jr said in Avengers End Game, “mess with time, times messes back”.
Is it time?
