So he went back in time to see about a girl.
To relive the life he never got to the first time around.
Another factor you probably are aware of is the general Superhero Movie fatigue.
There have been exceptions that managed to turn massive profits.
But all were third installments of established franchises:Spiderman,Guardians of the GalaxyandDeadpool.
Disney in particular is in desperate need of a win.
They’ve tried several times to find the next, post-Avengers phase of the MCU.
And all have failed spectacularly.
This new Captainless Captain film is their latest, best hope.
But holy schniekies, did he ever step on a rake here.

You’re talking to the world.
Especially the 330 million potential customers in this corner of the world.
The ones who are already turned off to the dreck Disney’s been putting out.
Canceling their Disney+ subscriptions by the hundreds of thousands.
More to the point though, you’ve got to read the zeitgeist.
It’s utterly tone deaf in a way that’s only going to destroy an already established brand.
Good luck with that.
