The Four Color Media Monitor

Collider wrote a sugarcoated and utterly insulting article about why they believe the most recent cinematic take on Spider-Man should be sent to the grave, and the social justice pandering creations first seen in the tail end of the Ultimate line take his place:

From the very get-go, it should be stated that no one is saying Tom Holland's Spider-Man needs to bite the bullet in Spider-Man: Brand New Day or by the end of Avengers: Secret Wars. By the end of his next trilogy in many years, however, it honestly only makes sense that he meet his heroic end, based on a lot of factors. Not only would it be a great set-up to introduce Miles Morales, but Peter Parker's storyline has always been about sacrifice, so it makes perfect narrative sense.

There is no secret that one of the most impactful Spider-Man comic book stories is the iconic "Death of Spider-Man" from Ultimate Spider-Man (2009). Spider-Man is Marvel Comics' bread and butter, so to kill him—truly kill him for good—would be a huge and incredibly bold move. The confidence it takes to do something like that is huge. Unlike comic books, however, the Marvel Cinematic Universe cannot last forever, and adapting "Death of Spider-Man" is most likely the best route to go.

This is something only somebody who's not a Marvel fan could possibly write. And why do they think the comics could last forever? They certainly haven't survived artistically, and the Spider-marriage may never be brought back. I can't believe how stupid these entertainment sites can be, and they clearly don't care that the biggest problem with the introduction of Morales is that he was an early example of social justice/diversity pandering, without any interest in emphasizing merit. He was also a creation of the aforementioned Brian Bendis, who's regrettably returning to Marvel and the Avengers soon, about a dozen years since he'd last written the title, and based on the bad job he did with Avengers: Disassembled and the equally pointless House of M, that's why the whole notion he's improved is unlikely. He was possibly the first writer Marvel employed at the time who helped them mandate that all stories be at least 5-6 parts long, even if it led to padding out the stories implausibly. And that C.B. Cebulski would be willing to rehire Bendis is just another example of how Cebulski turned out in the long run to be as bad for Marvel as Quesada/Jemas/Alonso.

Collider must realize, even as they don't genuinely admit it, that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is collapsing artistically, but if they really wanted improvements made, they wouldn't have recommended Disney fall back on the woke pandering. Rather, they'd have insisted the studio make improvements to the screenplay and acting/directing. Instead, they only perpetuate the tabloid direction only so many entertainment sites have taken up for years already, even as Hollywood continues collapsing.
