the sheer transparent pandering is just so....transparent .
because i'm bored
examples of transparent pandering in superhero movies
1
Robert Downy Junior casted as Ironman
done to get Rob's pre-existing fans to watch a movie based on a character that they'd never heard of
2
Nick Cage casted as Ghost Rider/Ryan Reynolds casted as Hal Jordan/Blake lively casted as Carrol Ferris
same as number 1
3
Black panther apearing in MCU's Civil War movie done to get Black people to watch a movie that would otherwise have gotten SJWs pissed off about the title being "civil war"
4
black panther being weirdly the main freaking character in the Civil War movie
before the release of the solo black panther movie
got both movies a way-the-fuck-larger opening weekend box office than either movie would have made if the solo black panther movie had premiered before civil war (studio choosing profit over stories that make sense)
5
Ironman 2 made its money back and a profit from just china before anyone outside of china got to see the movie
instead of risking the chance of pissing off people that watch movies in the theaters in china
(entertaining the movie goers in china while not giving a shit that they were pissing off the movie goers in america)
